...ling the mysticism of the far, far east. They see the source of the light: between each towering structure lies a string of lanterns, thousands upon thousands composing the red and yellow they saw so far away. Both girl and boy are in awe, and continue to stare in awe.

The smells of curries and foreign spices resonate within their hearts, calling to their ancestors. They feel a sense of kinship here. They can see their old, wizened grandmothers along the city roads, the wrappers of meat buns they had engorged up lining the gutters, and the games they played as children happening on the streets. Everything seemed so familiar to them in this utterly foreign town.

She brushed aside her long black hair, pulling it into a pony tail. "It just seems so familiar, doesn't it Shun?"

"Fresh off the boat, Kim."

She let out a chuckle as they dived deeper into the heart of the city. Here is where they'd earn their room of the night.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
