a life in the land called east

opening narration

i had never had the chance to live in one country for more than a year. i'm no army brat, but i've known many who can identify with my situation. it's all because my dad is this head honcho ir guy with the company he represents. whenever there's a problem at one of the corporate offices we have to move their so he can, as he calls it, "fully embed himself in the situation." i call it a pain in the ass.

i've lived in 20 different countries and am fluent in spanish, german, japanese, french and portuguese. i've even tagged down mandarin now that i'm in taiwan.

my mom finally went to bat and got my dad to let me stay in one place for at least the term of my grad work in taiwan. i know it seems funny that he drags me around with him even though i'm now 22 years old but he just can't let go of trying to make me see the light and go after corporate ir. as if living with him and moving constantly hasn't swayed me from that long ago. he was more than perturbed when i chose to go into genetics. i went through months of him complaining about how his son wanted to become a nerd with a pocket protector and lab coat studying cells and what not.

well, anyway, i've been attending NTU's (national taiwan university) graduate program in genetics.there's many cute girls here in this school. i've definitely started to become intersted in the female student body here. a few girls have caught my eyes. and my buddies have done nothing but harangue me for not going after the few that get my heart pumping and something within stirring.

three girls have this effect on me...i'm still figuring out whethger i should pursue all three or focus on one at a time.

i continue to wonder as i walk to my next class and round the corner of the hallway in front of me.

$$WANTED$$

three people to play the three female love interests and possible other roles. and a few goofy guys to be the friends of the main character.

come help my first time be a good one.

 

[mfucker]

OOC: would be glad to help....you might want to describe the girls....or you can leave it to me....up to you...

 

[Silk Bra]

Count me in

OOC:I want to play a female named Joann Chen.

IC: My father was an American serviceman who met my mother, a native Taiwanese and left after I was born.

I grew up in a single parent home, and was always looked down upon by my peers because I was different. I studied hard and earned a scholarship to the university.

After spending my first year in the freshmen dorm, I looked foreward to my new apartment with my brand new roommates. Unfoutunatly, they feel the same bias towards me as my high-school classmates.
---------------------------------------------------


I have never been with a guy, much less kissed one, when suddenly, on my way to class, I rounded the corner and bumped into the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on.

"Oh, I'm sorry, please excusse me", I quickly reply, looking down and away from him. "I was just trying to get to class but I am already an hour late", I said, still afraid to look him in the eyes.

 

[unit555]

OOC Would like to join a play Stephanie Wong. A 5'2" asian-american who has returned to Taiwan to go to grad school and be closer to her heritage. She went to a mostly white high school in AMerica and never fit in. Only when she started screwing around did she become popular.

All this has given her a confidence problem even though she is a genius. She has large breasts on a tiny body and thanks to all the previous experience she is an animal when the lights go out.

When you are ready to meet her, you will find her working in the lab.

 

[tmuyo]

whew! people~!

ooc: ur totally welcome to join all. i hope you guys don't get bored, the dirrection i'm trying to take this doesn't immediately jump to sex. the main character is indecisive when it comes to girls, but it doesn't mean there can't be any fun.....

ooc: silk, your character sounds fine.

ooc: unit 555, yours is fine too.

ooc: mfucker, it's up to you. have fun be creative.

--------------------------------------
Richard

ic: as i rounded the corner i of course run right into a cute young girl with small dark framed glasses and a pony tail.

"oh god, i'm so sorry miss......," before i could apologize for running into her, she was out of ear shot before i could finish.

i stood there...like a moron, until i noticed a folder laying along the wall. 'she must have left it in her hurry. well, i could skip class,' i thought, 'afterall, i already know the stuff that professor huang was going to go over. '

as i was finishing the thought i decided to run after the girl while she was still in sight. she had a very cute ass i slowed down enough to follow her but enjoy the view as well. 'you fuckin' pervert just get her the folder.....and maybe her number.' i run on till i catch up to her as she's just mounting the stairwell, i keep calling miss, but she keeps moving until i tap her on her shoulder.

she jumps and drops all her papers and books again.

'good one, score two for mr. moron'

"i'm sorry let me help you" as i move to kneel and pick up her papers she gently brushes her tight little butt against my arm and kneels as well.

she still isn't speaking. she's just thrusting her hands out to grasp papers.

"you seem a little out of it, do you mind if i walk you to your next class? i can carry your books and papers while you relax and take a brether. missing a class isn't so bad afterall?" 'what am i doing? gawd, it's like i'm in middle school and offering to carry her books. wait i am doing that...what next am i going to ask if we're going steady?'

 

[tmuyo]

ooc: silk, are you half native taiwanese meaning the people there before the fuchien people fled there when communism came into play in china or the fuchienese people who fled there? the only major difference between the two is that the native taiwanese have darker skin (more like pilipino) and the taiwanese who have only lived there for the last 80 years or so are like those of mainland china? sorry for being to anal about that, just that i know there's a difference. although, i guess if ur dad was white than you would be lighter anyway. you can choose what race ur fathe was just to give us an idea of skin tone (was he black, hispanic, white, etc.)

ooc: richard is inbetween 6'0" and 6'1", white, and is sometimes willing to help others even if it puts him at a disadvantage.

 

[unit555]

Stephanie looked out the window of the lab while she waited for the experiment to run its course.

She saw a tall white guy stumble up the steps of the building. Kind of cute. Her gaze lingered.

"Stop it Steph." she tought to herself. Guys only cause problems.

Her last boyfriend left left her the day after she slept with him. She was getting tired of oriental men. They couldn't even bother to act as if they might consider her feelings. They were fascinated with her large breasts and that was the extent of it. Maybe a nice guy from back home was what she needed.

She cleared her head and turned away from the window to return to work.

 

[Silk Bra]

Joann

OOC: Joann's mother was fuchien and her father caucasion. She is about 5'5" and straight black hair that is most always in a pony tail. Her figure is petite and her breasts are pletiful.

IC: I anxiously grabbed my papers, and looked him in the eye. "I am so late for class now that I shouldn't even bother to go", I replied.

My eyes go over this handsome guy kneeling beside me. He appears to be from the United States, but I can't think why he is going to school here.

As I straighten up a strange feeling overcomes me. "Would you like to walk outside and sit in the commons next to the fountain?", I blurtted out before I realised what I was saying. My heart was pounding now.

Maybe it was the kindness that he displayed by picking up my papers. Perhaps it was his reasuring tone of voice. Or maybe it was just his looks. Whatever it was, I wanted to talk longer with him. That is the only explenation for why I acted uncharacteristicly brazon.

 

[tmuyo]

Richard

stunned by not just the fact that she spoke to me, but that she asked me to stay with her rather than brush me off. she seemed like she'd probably turn down any offer and just barrel through studying.

'well, this is definitely becoming a surprise. unfortunately i'm no master of small talk...she's obviously a bio or chem student. she just has that aire about her. maybe we'll do shop talk. nah, be different, no, be yourself...talk about what interests you.... her nice firm ass, her sexy legs...no, she'll slap you for that. talk about the way her back arch is just perfect and her long neck turns me on...gah, stop. okay breathe, the way she breathes making her chest heave hust so perfectly...' ur fucked... won't even get so much as a number.

i quickly grab all of the books and papers and walk after her with them. there were just a few minutes to the fountain, but i didn't want to be silent the whole time.

"by the way, my name's richard and you are?"

she tells me that her name is joanne chen.

"so what year are you?"

she replies that she's a freshman. and asks what year i am. "oh, i'm going into my 5th year right now. it's my first year of grad work. she asked why i was here and i practically told her my life story as an explanation. by the time we were done asking and answering eachother's questions i noticed how dark it was and thought about offering to buy her dinner...and take her home.

"so joanne, would you mind if we continued this conversation over dinner? or i could drive you home if you'd like? it would be a pain to take the buses at this hour and the taxi's are not safe either."

"maybe we can check out the street stands and see if there's anything of interest? maybe after dinner?"

 

[Silk Bra]

Joann

Oh my, I thought, what have I gotten myself into? He asked me out to dinner. I've never been out to eat with any man before.

"I would very much like to join you for dinner, that would be nice", I replyed before I thought too much about it. I need to be a little more outgoing and spontanious.

As soon as we reached the street, Richard flagged a cab for us. He held the door open and I got in with him right behind me.

---------------------------------------------------
At the restaraunt....

We place our orders, with Richard ordering for me.
So, Richard, can I call you Rich?" I ask. "What do do in your spare time?".....

 

[tmuyo]

Richard

"you can call me rich or rick, whatever you prefer. i dunno, avoid my father, hang out with my friends... i write letters once in a while to friends from different areas i grew up. i used to do that much more often, but i just don't ever seem to have time to do that. i can't unnderstand why either, i always have plenty of free time,but it seems like i'm searching for something and i don't know who what or why i'm looking for it"

"so why were you so flustered earlier? it didn't seem like it was just because you were late for a class. was there something wrong? i mean... i'm sorry, nevermind, i always end up pissing someone off by trying to help. i guess i get to personal or somemthing."

i can't seem to break away from her eyes...
i have always loved asian eyes, because of the shape and conture, but the color in her eyes held me captive against my will. i felt something in my groind stirring and managed to divert my attention from those wonderful seductive eyes.

i can't help but lower my view to her neck and breasts as she tells me what her problems have been. i kept paying attention to what she was saying of course, but i glanced often down to her nice large c breasts. i imagined twirling my tongue around her nipples and sucking her flesh into my mouth while i finger her pussy....

 

[mfucker]

IC: Liz Tan, 21, 5'4", 34C-24-34, dark brown shoulder-length hair with bright red streaks, brown eyes.

A foreign student from Singapore, speaks English and Mandarin, majoring in Chinese Literature. Her third year in the University.

OOC: think things are going well with SB, i'll leave it to you to bring the character in yea....

 

[tmuyo]

hmmmm.....?

OOC:where oh where has my silk bra gone....
she's the main character of interest at the moment...
well, i guess she needed some time off....

so! we shall begin a new and i will..eh hem...Richard will escort Miss Joanne home like the gentleman that he is...

IC: after we finished eating...Joann seemed a little tired...maybe i bored her...i hope not...she's really a sweet girl...and no one would've expected such a hot little thing to always be hidden behind a lab coat.

she yawns and seems a little tired....'damn, i should have remembered duck has triptifane too....fuck, i screwed myself over, i made her tired...i doubt the wine helped much either. well, i'll offer to take her home...'

"would you mind if i drive you home? as i said earlier the taxis really aren't to be trusted with pretty young girls at this time of night."

she giggles when i commented on her beauty and accepts my offer.

i carry joanne out to my car as she has fallen asleep before we even got past the entrance. i decide to let her sleep and try to find her wallet. 'great, why can't girls be like guys and keep their wallets in their back pocket. at least it would have given me a chance to feel that wonderful little butt.'

after some more searching i find it of all places in her backpack...'let's see here...address adress...ah her id card. there it is. she lives right outside of campus. alrighty, let's go take little miss cute ass home.

after about a 15 minute drive we arrive at her apartment. i take her up to the fifth floor and knock on thje apartment door.

no answer..."hmm that rules out a boyfriend..."

no later than after i finish that thought the door opens "SHIT!" but it wasn't a guy like i expected....it was three rather cute chinese girls with implements of mass destruction in their hands...and for a girl that means a broom, a bat, and a..." *click* a gun too....

"ummm maybe i have the wrong apartment..."

"what'd you do to joanne?!?" said the girl with the gun.

"well, before you shoot me can you uncock that gun...?"

"oh, this thing? it's unloaded. my dad gave me his old pistol from when he was on the taiwanese police force...i don't know how to fire the damned thing, it just scares the hell out of wierdos and the delivery boys. it's actually how we eat for free. wave it around when a delivery boy shows up and he freaks, drops the food, and runs away with not so much as a tip"

"pretty smart idea. umm is there somewhere i can lay her down, i don't think she's in the most comfortable position right now" i say as i reprop her head against my shoulder.

"go ahead...put her on the couch."

"anyway, i just met joanne today on campus and we went to dinner... she got a little sleepy from the duck and wine i think. i thought it would be best to try and bring her back to wherever she lived."

"look since i seemed to have woken you guys up maybe i'll just go where there aren't any weapons...do me a favor, give her this number. it's my home phone and my cell number is below that. if she would like to go out again sometime or just hang out, tell her i'm free..."

"do you mind if i take her to her bed, i feel bad leaving her here on the couch"

"sure she's got the room on the back left of the hall."

as i lay her down as gently as i can i see her purse he lips, as if she were trying to kiss the air. i can't resist...i kiss her... *WHACK!* i then leave with a rather small red handprint on my face.

i turn to the girl holding the supposedly empty gun and tell her to have joann call me... 'damn, for a tiny little thing, joann sure packs a mean slap...hopefully it was just a reaction and not really what she meant to do...'

".....i hope she calls...."

 

[unit555]

OOC - if you are just waiting for somehting to happen then start with the Stephanie characer. I check the board at least once a day

 

[tmuyo]

unit 555

ooc: hmm...i guess leaving that open end for anyone to take over wasn't clear enough, sorry for not making it more clear unit 555. yea, i don't know where the hell silk bra went, but i hope she comes back, i've found it very fun to work with. so feel free to jump in somewhere or throw me a mail about how you want to be introduced...the labs perhaps?

 

[tmuyo]

bump....don't forget about me says the story...
sorry it's late and i couldn't find this so i bumped it to the top of the list. still no responses....hmmmmm

 

[unit555]

OOC If you can find an excuse to bump into Stephanie at the lab then let it go from there. She is looking for some attention from a cute guy. She will believe the next guy is different from the others even if he is not.

 

[tmuyo]

richard

ooc: i'll log that last bit of info to memory.

ic: "damn, i really must've fucked up my chances with joann." i said as i walked around aimlessly on campus at 2am in the morning....'why couldn't i leave well enough alone...shit i hope she'll at least give e a chance to explain.

i return to my aparment. it's been almost 4 days now that i still haven't heard from her...

'shit, if she calls she calls!' well, i'm behind on my work anyway. i might as well get some stuff done instead of worrying about some girl that'll probably never call me...

i go the long scenic route to get to the labs...

i notice the campus and how hot it's getting now. i knew taiwan was humid, but this was getting ridiculous. i took off my formal shirt and left the white tee that was under it on. i quicken my pace to get to the well airconditioned labs and out of this heat.

i walk into the labs and go to the fridge where i've been keeping my gene splices.

"Fuck!!!!!" i cry out as i notice someone has knocked my case on the flor of the fridge...shattered glass and what's left of my splices already contaminated. 5 weeks of hard work down the drain. looks like i'll have to stay nights here just to play catch up..."god dammit!"

maybe i wouldn't have been so pissed if the person had left a note instead of fleeing the scene.

well, i guess i can pick up some food before i come back and just work my ass off.

disappointed i leave the fridge and go down to the lounge in the labs vicinity. i usually came here to brush up on my mandarin because a lot of gossipy girls come here. the rate at which these girls speak makes my head spin trying to understand while pretending to be napping in a chair. i can't quite make out anything specific...just the usual bullshit gossip today, some guy did this and she fells like this...blah blah blah. it wasn't the topics that kept me here just the need to get away from my ruined project and to listen to the pointless ramblings of these two girls.

later that night i hit the labs. i grudge up the stairs with a noodle bowl from the shop just off campus and get to work. the lone light in the building...jeez this is pitiful....i think as i decide to bore down to work.

 

[unit555]

Stephanie needed a break. For some unknowm reason the sequencing kit no longer worked and she had just wasted a very long day trying to sequence a plasmid for nothing.

She went to the lounge for a Diet Coke. She was wearing a pair of shorts and a mid-driff shirt. She did not normally like to show off her body (even though it was very nice) but it was so damn hot she just couldn't stand wearing jeans.

Maybe the temperature was screwing up her reactions....

When she entered the lounge she saw two girls chatting away. Steph knew they were gossiping shrews and steered clear. Then she noticed the cute guy in the corner with the sour face. She vaguely recognized him from around the building. In any case, with that look he had to be a kindred spirit.

Steph walked over. "Mind if I sit with you? I really don't want to put up with those two idiots over there."

 

[tmuyo]

richard

ooc: lol, sour face!!!

i was a little ahead of you i think cause i went to that night....ur a few hours behind by my post...lol. reread my last post. i'm in the lab doin catch ypwork because someone screwed up my splice sets.

 

[unit555]

ooc - ok i'll try this again

stephanie

ic - "I've had it. This day is shot. It's got to be something like two in the morning and these asays still don't work. This building is so damn hot i'm sweating like a whore in church. I'm outta here."

Stpeh walked down the hall and noticed a light on in one of the other labs. She looked in the door from the hallway a noticed a cute guy. She had seen him before but did not know his name.

She thinks to herself "Maybe a guy from home is what I need? What the hell, could be possibly be worse than these inconsiderate Taiwanese jerks?"

Steph stood in the doorway and started with a question.

"No social life, or a work-aholic? I thought I was the only one stuck here this late."

 

[tmuyo]

richard

ooc: there ya go...lol! my fiancee will vouch for jerks in taiwan. she says there are few who aren't.

ic:
surprised by another person's voice i nearly trashed the specimen i was working with. i was glad i didn't freak.

"a little of both i guess. i've been in taiwan for about 8 weeks now. i've got a few friends, but that's about it. besides, some asshole knocked my splice tray all over the fridge floor. so i gotta make up for about 5 weeks of research and get these done much sooner."

'hmm...seems like taiwan is full of pretty girls....'

i do a quick scan, hopefully unnoticed.

"so which are you?"

 

[unit555]

stephanie

Steph saw him check her out. A girl always notices. She was only slightly embarressed. She knew she had a good body but was still kind of shy about showing it off. Guys around here always seemed drawn to her breasts. They were not huge but they were definitely bigger than most oriental women.

She had done a little scanning herself. Not bad.

"I suppose I would have to be the workaholic. Besides, my social life after three years is still waiting to take off. Sorry about your experiments, this place is full of spineless pricks who wouldn't make good on that kind of mistake. However, there is no use in trying to fix it tonight. I know for a fact the molecular biology gods are unhappy and assays are failing all over the place."

Steph normally was not this forward but she was hungry for some company and went for broke.

"How about we go get a beer. An old professor of mine said if it's not working then don't fight it, go have a drink. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for science."

 

[tmuyo]

richard

well, my day is pretty shot, and i've been having trouble concentrating...so..."what the hell. i'm in." i grab my splice tray move it to the very back and if it gets broken, then i'll just get even. on a label i attach the message, 'you break this, i break you.'

"do you have a car? cause i can drive you, i parked it pretty close to here."

she says that she doesn't have one and we leave together to reach the parking lot. i'm sstill surprised how small the parking lot is, but the i remember that not many people drive in taiwan. they either walk or take a taxi or bus.

we hop in and i ask "so, do you have a favorite place around here, i'm not too familiar with the bars."
