dear_mun | Future plans...

[Just a stare for a while.]

I doubt you can order women like you would food.

[He's just grinning and acts like it's just another thing.]

Yes, but I can still dream. Aside from that, how have you been?

[And Kazuya just stares his displeased stare. Like normal.]

How do you think I've been? [Kaz is still kinda angry over the whole Jun is Unknown, and the like. Not to mention he's nor pleased about hearing of another brother from another mother.]

[He tries to pretend that it didn't happen and quickly tries to turn it around to something less broody. He knows it happened, he's trying to put it behind him and hopes that it'll work out for the best. Then again, this is Kazuya he's dealing with.]

Oh, it's not all that bad, brother. You still have your, er [searching...], youth.

[Really Lee? Really!?]

Youth has never interested me like it has father. I'm fifty, Lee. And I look like a reject from a Frankenstein movie, thanks to Heihachi.

[Well, not really. Hey, he's trying.]

Right, yes, about Daddy Dread, his pursuits constantly dragged us through the cheese grater, pasta maker, whatever you want to call it.

[He forces a smile behind a wince.]

I wouldn't go as far as calling you Frankenstein. Frankenstein couldn't speak and he was green, a bit rotten looking and probably smelled worse than Paul's socks.

[He rolls his eyes a bit.]

You don't get to talk about 'the cheese grater' until Heihachi throws you into a volcano.

Like I said. Reject.

[Lee clears his throat a bit. Awkward~ He sort of knew, but he was too involved in study and other things that he didn't learn about the darker half of the family until later. What a family.]

Well, no. He didn't do that with me. I was shipped off to America to study. I just thought I was being groomed for business so I didn't question it.

[He gives a lazy shrug at first then his face turns more focused.]

Did you say volcano? Wasn't the cliff enough?

The only reason he adopted you in the first place was because he saw the talent you had. I was thrown out with the trash because he thought I was weak.

[Kazuya undoes his shirt, tossing it to the side. He really doesn't like shirts anyway.]

The cliff didn't finish the job, and neither did the volcano.

[His eyes widen and lifts a finger.]

Yes, well, you're obvious not if you survived both. I had an idea, yes, but there was that other issue where he thought I would be good competition. He also saw me as weak, if you remember correctly, and cast me out when you came back.

[He exhales slowly.]

I'll never understand that man.

He has one goal, and one goal alone. Total global domination. That's why the Zaibatsu was so interested in weapons development and genetics research.

He wanted Jinpachi's power, and then mine when he saw I have the gene. It's all he cares about. It's what drove him to unleash Ogre.

It's why I will kill him with my bare hands.

[Lee's eyes widen.]

So, the rumors were true. If he's thinking you're the reject, than that means I'm just the figurehead with no other purpose than to throw off the public. But...what about your son?

His emergence has got to have a factor in this. He's a good kid.

Jin was an... unexpected development for all of us. [Y'know, being in a recovery tube for twenty years only to find out he's a dad is quite a shock.]

If it weren't for Ogre's interference, he would've been a normal person. The Kazama blood has a trait that acts as a suppressant to the gene. When Ogre killed... [Small pause.] ...his mother and marked him with its power, its influence awakened the gene I'm guessing.

Heihachi had only intended to use him as bait for Ogre. Beyond that, I do not know. We're not exactly on the best of terms, if the current state of the war between the Zaibatsu and G Corp hadn't clued you in on that.

[He huffs.] He's far from 'good.' Only one person was ever deserving of that title. Now, she's dead.

...Well well...

If it isn't Mr. Lee Chaolan~

[Looking positively... spankable, as always ♥]

[With a slight tilt to his head and a lot of undivided attention, Lee nods. He knew about Jun, he didn't know about her role in the family until after he met Jin.]

It was sarcasm.

[a brief pause]

Yes, his involvement was an interesting turn of events, I'll grant that. I honestly didn't know about his turncoat mentality until after all that...well, no, that's not entirely true. I learned about him and I just thought he was more like his mother, but with all that genetic mess floating around, I'm not really all that surprised.

That was...until after he gained control over the Zaibatsu. Do you know what it's like being his yes man? I prefer working for the bear.

[He's been trying to stay as far from that war but because of his ties to the family, that was proving to be nearly impossible.]

[I'm laughing here, but Lee's forcing himself to smile.♥]

Well, hello yourself, Miss. Anna Williams. I see that you didn't bring the whip this time or is it hiding in that ample bustier of yours?

[Sarcasm was one of those things that Kazuya didn't quite get. Then again, with his lack of social graces, it's hard to tell whether he actually got it or not.]

Yes, that debacle with Grandfather... Jin showed his true colors there. Not even I thought he would take control of the Zaibatsu and start a war.

[An evil smirk forms on his face, though.]

You could always come to work for me.

Oh, I've got all kinds of fun toys left to play with, don't you worry.

Were you interested in seeing for yourself~?

[Said in her usual dangerously sultry tone that makes it difficult to tell whether she's flirting or threatening you ~~Though with Anna is there really much of a difference?]~~

[Lee winces at the thought but he didn't have a bad time working with his brother before, so it's something that he'll consider.]

Hm. Give me a moment to chew it over, and just one thing, this isn't going to include me doing any more dirty work, will it? I'm getting a bit old to use piano wire.

Ah, I could remodel my home to accommodate your...um, ability.

[If he was drinking anything, he would have choked on it.]

Oh? Promise? Maybe I was~.

[Pfft, nope, not at all and Lee's a glutton for punishment.]

[There definitely was something cathartic about ordering Lee around. It was always nice to have a lackey to do the dirty work, but at the moment, having someone with Lee's mechanical expertise would be invaluable in the JACK project.]

You wouldn't have to kill anyone, if that's your fear. That's what I have Anna for.

[That last bit catches his attention though. He and Lee had never been 'close' by any stretch of the word, and the offer seems odd to Kazuya. But, if Lee could help him better understand the gene, he'd be willing to be Lee's test subject.]

Abel has been wanting to see the transformation in full power, and none of our facilities are suited to withstand that sort of power...

[It wasn't fear that kept him from it, it was the exposure and the possibility of getting caught that has him laying low.

His aptitude for science, mechanical and computerized, did set him apart from his peers. He loved that he could play dumb in public to keep people from knowing the truth.]

Huh, I'm thinking that if we can see it through to completion without any outside influence, your power can be better handled.

I wonder though, the advances with technology and the amount of time that was spent on you, you haven't gotten past the first stage.

I think I may have a solution.

[They may not have been close but Lee is still a lot more human than the rest of the Mishima family and he does have some compassion left under all that bravado.]

[Anna just gives a boisterous laugh.]

What a naughty thing you are, Mr. Lee~

[Canting her head to the side.] Now, you must tell me; what's all this about you teaching, hm?

[He gives his best smile while she laughs. Thankfully, he's not working on anything and that question does earn a nod.]

Oh! About that, I've been requested to join a school and teach mutant children how to use their powers, save the world from evil, or something like that, and teach music. I may dabble in robotics or something along the way to help out a little, but hey, it's a check and it keeps me busy.

[He leans forward and places his finger to his chin.]

Too bad I can't show you more. I was looking forward to my punishment.

Is that right?

[A smirk.] And you're sure that this whole stint isn't some kind of excuse to play out an elaborate schoolgirl fantasy of yours..?

Me? No~. Why would I ever do a thing like that? I don't look good in a skirt.

[Of course Anna had to point that out, didn't she?]

[A laugh.] Oh, you're far too modest, Mr. Lee. I highly doubt that there's much of anything your beautiful physique is incapable of pulling off.

[Lightly tapping her chin as she visualizes this.] Mn~... But the skirt still may not be entirely wise in the end. After all, it'd only further my personal desire to bend you over my knee...

[Okay, the beautiful physique he can handle and he'll play off of that with a grin.]

But of course! Maybe I'll purchase a kilt just for you. I've been keeping myself off view for far too long, yes?

I most certainly agree....

...Though, if pleasing me in the objective, you could also save a bit of cash by disregarding clothes altogether~...

That...can most certainly be arranged. Just one request, no bazooka. Knives, chains, rope, handcuffs and other instruments are okay.

Aww... What a prude.

[He's scratching the back of his head with a wince.]

Ouch. So you did have something different in mind. Ah. I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, I have several things in mind for you...

But whether they involve making your gorgeous face contort in agony or ecstasy, well.... It'd be downright cruel to make me choose, wouldn't it~?

Hm, yes, but you seem to have the knack for finding what works best. Ah, which begs the question, what would be the difference? Without sound, they both appear similar.

One would assume that teaching would take precious time away from your other ventures, Chaolan-san.

[Hey there guy related to the Mishimas that Yoshimitsu find the most tolerable, how's not leading a multi-national conglomerate dedicated to the oppression of mankind treating ya?]

Ah, but I have so much free time as it seems, or according what my mun believes. You see, with so many young minds that need the right guidance, who better to teach them than someone that had experienced it all?

[In a lot of ways, he's glad to be out of that whole Mishima loop and started his own. Using the Zaibatsu as a springboard is probably his best idea yet. (Just don't mention Combot.)]

That, I admit.

[And if you are busy teaching that means less time to start weird sideprojects. He will only agree to not mention Combot as long as the thing doesn't try to rip off his moves again.]

What manner of school is it that you are heading to?

Excellent question. My mun is taking me to

theinstitute where I will be teaching music, working on the robotics team and teaching students how to use their powers.

[He puts his finger to his chin in thought.]

From what I've seen so far, they really need a babysitter mostly to keep them out of trouble. Power training certainly needs attention and I'm not entirely suited to teach a large class. Competent fighters need apply.

A recruitment drive? You are as crafty as your reputation says, Chaolan-san.

[And yet... he does seem to consider it.]

If there is one thing that I have learned, it is that worrying of our world while we are in these strange... non-worlds, these worlds between worlds, is a fruitless effort. Our worlds shall continue to revolve, with or without us. Hence I would not use "my concern for the Manji clan" as a reason to deny this offer. It would not matter either way.

There is however the fact that my mundane, interested as he may be in letting my spread my wings, is currently pressed for time... time he would need in order to remake my history in order to suit that place. Tell me, Lee Chaolan. How does the G Corporation look upon one of their biggest stockholders as a teacher in a school which, I presume, is a walking public relations nightmare?

True, true.

[He nods his head in consideration as he listens then laughs at the final sentence of Yoshimitu's assessment, even if it's true.]

You are absolutely right that this...school...is a public relations nightmare but the corporation won't suffer much during my absence. I have a [cough] well meaning team in my stead that can handle the trivial matters. Ah! But that does beg the question if I'm still able to take care of the company. The short answer is yes.

To be honest, I'm only needed long enough to sign a few papers, listen to a meeting or two, which can be done via Skype, and that's really all I need. Everything else is handled by the staff. I think it's a suitable arrangement and one that does require a bit of scheduling to work around a little snag from time to time. Music, after all, is an elective.

Impressive, that you can handle such diverse tasks. I suppose that rennaisance men still exist, even beyond that age.

As for myself, however... well. It will all depend on the mundane of course. The Manji shall ever be the allies of the downtrodden, but I am and most likely would remain a wanted man. To position myself there would be to invite terrible retribution to innocent students... then again, that school is hardly inexperienced when it comes to such matters, are they?

Ooh, I like that term!

[Yes, Lee's already aware that he is a Renaissance man. He's just playing around a little, much to indicate his humor.

Although, listening to Yoshimitsu does ring some rather familiar bells and he nods thoughtfully.]

Yes, they are more than capable of taking care of themselves but that's not entirely the purpose of the school. Outside threats will always present themselves no matter the ally and no one is turned away. It's better to have many allies than stand alone during such dark times.

The inexperienced must gain experience and through strife, they will overcome. They have done it once before, they can do it again and stand strong as a united front undivided. They can become that impenetrable wall through trust and learn through their elders that the world is much more than good versus evil.

An impressive speech.

[Double-sided flattery, of course. Yoshimitsu may like you the best ouf of all the people he knows who are associated with the Mishimas, but he's still not about to trust a shrewd businessman with his back just yet. It is an impressive speech... but is a speech all it is?]

And perhaps I could be of assistance in that struggle. Or perhaps I could draw more enemies to their side. Perhaps I shall be more suited for works which the light of day dare not see, perhaps I shall walk the halls in plain sight. I suppose that in the end it all comes down to what purpose I could best serve.

[He certainly thinks on this. With so much going on, it's really hard to not have something worked out somewhere along the lines.]

Hm. You do present an interesting point. Yes, either of those options are certainly a feasible means of survival. The choice is ultimately yours, of course. Don't just take my word for it. I'm just putting the verbal bug in your ear in case you happen to be interested.

[Shrewd? Most definitely. This is how he rolls. He didn't just build up a company for nothing just because he felt like it. There are reasons why he does what he does and it helps to have a plan.]

In case, indeed.

I shall make no promises- my and my mundanes schedule will most likely not allow for it. But should fortune favor you, and the game favor his interests... we shall see, Lee Chaolan.

Oh, you shouldn't have to pledge any obligation to me in your explanation. I'm pleased that you took what I said into consideration which is more than generous. Perhaps in time, time will be a bit kinder to the both of you and I await that day patiently.

Perhaps. Until our paths cross next, then.

[And with that he does that spinny teleportation thing. Because just dropping a conversation with a simple bow and idle chit-chat is for people who are NOT cyborg-ninjas, i.e losers.]

Future plans...

HAY BRO.

Hey there! I got a good laugh from this. :D

Good! :D I aim to please!

Why aren't they in a game together?

*shrug* I'm actually in the market for a game at the moment.

I'm dropping Lee off at the Institute as a teacher. :)

Oh God, can you imagine Kaz as a teacher? xD

ROFLMAO!! There goes the school. :D BRING HIM!! Trust me, the students need him!

What would he teach though? He didn't really get much schooling after the cliff...

Martial Arts. The school is growing and they need more trainers.

I can see that, but I'm afraid it would devolve into a big free-for-all with Kaz beating his pupils.

Hm, this is tricky. Or he could be that one sadistic gym teacher during dodgeball.

Okay, that I can see. Move over Ganryu!

Bada bing! And let's see if we can get more in. :D

Hello there!

Out of curiosity, what's Lee's power gonna be?

Camoflauge and heightened healing with low light vision.

Aw, ty but I never do well outside of DR's and memes tbh x__X
