[ Hong Kong is Totally Chill about this business. As he often is, of course. Having been here over a year hasn't seemed to do anything to his somewhat lax sense of self-preservation either. He's going to sit here, eating whatever he can find to eat. Feel free to interrupt his grazing if you so desire. ]

[meilihua]

[She's not very good at sneaking, is she?

Well, she tried, anyway, so be prepared for an attack as she flings herself against your shoulders from behind and clings on for dear life...]

Happy New Year!

[bauhinia]

Whoa- [ Gonna just try and keep his food in his hands here, thanks! ] Hey sis.

Happy New Year, yeah?

[meilihua]

[Totally didn't notice you struggling there, bro] It could be worse, right? Though it's kind of suspicious for all this stuff to be here...

[bauhinia]

Everything's suspicious lately. I think I'd rather have suspicious food than like, suspicious monster creatures or something.

[meilihua]

But suspicious food can attack you from the inside!

[bauhinia]

That's so uncool. [ Squeamish. Just a bit. But it doesn't stop him from eating more. ]

[meilihua]

[Just...watching... She's probably a little hungry, but she wants to watch and make sure he doesn't shrivel up and die...]

So...how is it?

[gochuugoku]

新年快樂, 香港!

[China is dressed rather warmly, wearing one of the outfits Stocking got him for his birthday. However, he's added a red and black scarf to the mix. He approaches Hong Kong with a smile and with his gloved hands in his pockets.]

[bauhinia]

元旦快樂, yeah?

[ Hong Kong inclines his head slightly. ] I hope it's a good one.

[gochuugoku]

So do I.

[He smiles a little.] I've already begun the preparations for Chinese New Year.

[But in the back of his mind, he wondered if they would still be here in February. He had mixed feelings knowing that there was now a possibility for everyone to be sent back home. Of course, none of those thoughts make it past his lips nor do they show on his cheerful face.]

[bauhinia]

Haven't you been planning for months already? [ He's been planning for months already. New Years is like. The most important thing. Okay, not the most, but close. ]

[gochuugoku]

Of course I have! I would not be a good host if I did not plan things carefully. I've even began looking around for ingredients that are necessary to make the food!

[He will have a nian gao this year, he tells himself!]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, are you having luck with that? [ Since it can be kind of barebones around here. ]

[gochuugoku]

[Oh, he knows and it annoys him.]

Well, I know I will be able to make a nian gao this year for sure. It will not be as big as the ones I've made in the past, but there should be enough for everyone to have one serving at least.

Then of course I was able to find some rice and vegetables, including some Chinese radishes I found growing in the greenhouse, which means I will also be able to make some 蘿蔔糕.
