[ Action : Olney's Tavern : Open ]
[ If you're a regular at the bar, you might notice a new sigth in one of the stools. A tall red-haired Chinese woman in a plain green dress is making herself right at home, even if the drone workers don't particularly care about serving her anything other than weak, fruity, feminine drinks.

That doesn't mean she hasn't been trying to sweet-talk them into it for the better part of an hour. And by sweet-talk, I mean whining pitifully because she really doesn't want to get thrown out for taking matters into her own hands. ] --c'mo~on. Can't you just pour me something a little stronger? I'm going to need a whole lot more than this. [ She remarks, fingernail grazing the edge of the colorful cocktail glass. ]

[ Action : Around Town : Open ]
[ Later, no matter how much she had to work at it, she managed to get herself sufficiently smashed (for a short while, at least)! You can encounter her:

1) Wandering the neighborhood, humming some old tune to herself as she sways.
2) Attempting to enter your home and not realizing why her stupid key isn't working...
3) Napping on your front lawn. ]

What are you doing today?

Having a good time~ [ Said musically, with an emphasis on the syllables. ] How 'bout you?

Trying not to lose my mind, just like every other day.

That's no good. [ Hope he doesn't mind her hanging on him a bit. He won't though, because he's a real bro like that, right? ] What's the matter?

[He deals with it enough with Arcueid so he's used to it.]

Nothing is wrong. Just the same everyday routine.

But that's not normal, is it? It's no good way to live!

And what is your grand and glorious plan to living?

[ She laughs, waving a hand. ] I really don't think you want my advice.

I'm curious now. Go on.

No, I'm... [ She looks away. ] Forget it. There's no secret. If I thought there was, d'ya think I'd be like this?

You obviously have something you want to say.

Haha, do I? I'm just a simple youkai. [ Poking her forehead. ] Everyone always says that not much goes on in here, and they're probably right!

Simple people are simple because they already have a way of doing things.

[ Not when "simple" translates to "stupid", but Meiling just smiles weakly. ] D' you have any idea how much I've had to drink?

No, I don't know how much it takes to affect a youkai either.

Seeeee? I don't think I'd hold up to an oni's standards, but it took just a few whole bottles of that... that...

[ Looking straight up. ] What was it called again? Risky? Tipsy?
