>Plunk.- Plunk.- Thunk.
"Heheayyy your head got bigger didn't it?"
>Plunk.
"Nahh I'm just drunk. But how are you'z doin Shen-zin? Huh big ol' Su buddy?"
>You toss another stone out into the ocean. Thunk. Er.. his head.
>Just talking to a turtle. Again. On your favorite spot on his back. Right in front of his shell.
"You know, this jug can pour soooo many cups. A thousand. That's a lot. But probably not for you. Cuz you're big."
>You pat a nearby rock. That's definitely part of this wandering turtle. Probably.
>Taking another swig from the jug, you've decided that making any kind of brew on this swimming guy just isn't worth it.
"None of your herbs and hops are gonna be as good as the shtuff I had back over there!"
>Pointing toward the far distant Kun-Lai Summit, you take in the beautiful twilight hour clouds hovering over Pandaria's coast.
"But yer doing your best bud!"
>Springing up a bit too fast, you find the familiar lip to climb up and start heading home.
>It doesn't matter how drunk you are. You grew up off these paved paths.
>Just like that, through the several shrine markers and lanterns later, you find your family's home.
>Knowing better than to crash through the front door, you take the tree supported stairs to Shisai's room. Er.. your room. Yours' room.
"Shisai I'm baaaackk!"
"Annndd you're not."
>Oh right he was sleeping over at his friend's place. Welp, more for you.
>At least it doesn't taste awful.
~~~

>"HNK!"
"I get it, Mr. Crane! Breakfast. I'm up."
>"HONK!"
"No, it's like day 18 of quarantine."
>You go to floof your bed's pillow and realize your face is caked on... 
"Auuuhh man..."
>It takes a second to peel your cheek's fur off the comfy but slightly sticky grinding tool you used last night.
>"HAANK!"
"Yeah, I don't have a shirt on. What are you gonna do about it? Maybe, I dunno, get out?"
>Mr. Crane flaps away out the windowsill into the orangely lit morning sky.
>You watch while rolling out onto your Pandaren Minka styled floor as he glides down between trees to a pond below.
>And of course behind those trees is the ocean's ridgeline, rippling through the wade beyond Shen-zin Su's back.
>It's kinda surreal now to think how Pop built you and your brother a second floor extension to the house after mom died.
>Like, the view is really cool and everything, but how'd he do it by himself? He's too lazy.
>Always figured he built it to distract you from the wanderlust.
"By the way Mom, if you're listening, still miss you. Like Bo. Thought you'd wanna know."
>Your eyes catch the infamous jug splayed out on your desk. Reminding you that last night was a test run for the new brew recipe.
>Definitely went overboard. Normally the whole Thousand Cups jug idea never stopped you. Crossing the line to pillow grinding is usually a good indicator. But hey, at least Shisai gets a break.
>You take the journal off your desk and... yup. It's day 18.
>Reading the latest entry, it's pretty clear you're going nuts.

Day 15 of "social distancing".
So bored. By all that is chi I'm so bored.
Everyone on Shen-zin Su besides Uncle Chen and my brother are steering clear of me.
I mean come on it's been a whole week since Uncle and I got back on this giant turtle. We're not sick.
But nooo we have to wait out a few more days to make sure we don't show symptoms.
Wouldn't wanna get grandma sick though.
Guess it makes sense, being here and all. Sitting tight on a wandering turtle off the coast of Pandaria is for sure the safest bet when the hottest epidemic since the Corrupted Blood incident is spreading.
Might have been related to whatever happened at Icecrown Citadel. I wasn't in Northerend but people keep going on about how the sky blew up. Weird.
Only took a few days for Shisai to get all antsy.
It had been a while. Too long actually. So I did him one awesome favor.
Didn't really think we'd be trading favors every day though.
Honestly it's been fun. Showing him some of the stuff I learned back on the continents. Especially from a pair of Worgens.
Anyway we're eventually gonna go out to Pei-Wu Forest.
Can't believe there's still a stigma about those woods. Those Saurok were cleared out forever ago.
Something about a meetup with my old classmates and a lot of drinking.
Catching up with them will take a while but that's what the brew is for. At least some of them ended up stuck on Pandaria.
Shouldn't be that awkward. In a way I'm hoping it turns into a group session like back in the day.
Apparently they're called orgies. Like ogre but not. Weird.
===

>Wow. It's like this turtle sucks the life out of you. But at least today is that meetup. Hopefully after this hangover.
>Reaching over the nightstand, you grab and tie your favorite silk wrap around your chest in the as-usual sarashi binding.
>The beer stained clothes from last night go into the dresser while you grab a long oversized tunic with baggy sweatpants you managed to bring from Ironforge.
>Just in case, you take and rub Uncle Chen's old gift of draenei beads for good luck and wrap them around your neck. 
>After stuffing Mr. Crane's wistle into your pocket, you drag yourself downstairs and into the kitchen. Dad definitely isn't up yet.
>Except he is? They he made breakfast this time? What a concept.
"Oh that smells awesome."

Brother shaisia is making breakfast
Pop is there. "Hey dad can i go with li li to kalimdor when this is all over" - hell no.
Li li says:
"-another day in quarantine. As magni would say, "another one". Ill take you shaisa!" |||| Magni bronzebeard anotha one
Dad gives a death stare then notices the anklet and actually compliments you on something that looks exotic which fits into pandaren culture. Shocks you but feels good. 
"Love you too dad"
>"Your dwarf accent is awful" - shaisha
Go to x location springs toward the top of the turtle's largest peak. Theres a young tree. Schoolmates ask li li if she remembers they planted it forever ago and how it grew so fast, she must have magic fingers
Skinny dipping with old schoolmates. Sunbathing. Try out aquaphila. Everyone naked. Start appreciating that your constant adventuring is keeping you fit compared to your friends. One of the things that still weirds you out about the outer world is the stigma against open body(?) It's comforting to feel this serine and lax, even though not all pandaren see it as that. Great at first, open eyes underwater. End up with flashbacks to boat storm, fighting a naga siren and seeing bo die, and then a mirage of her mom sinking downwards
Has a slight panic attack

The quarantine means a severe lack of exotic food from off-turtle. Not that it really matters. Everything grows on Shen-zin Su's so the cooking is never boring.


STUPID IDEA
After Li Li has the panic attack, she wakes up next in her room. It has day 18's entry but chromie and the grandmaster teleport saying the turtle is under a time loop. some groundhog day shit.
this is retarded.
