I'm still around. I'm just waiting for epilogue to wrap up since I joined so late.

The clock struck midnight.

Keyword, Struck.

XiaoBao is late. As per usual.

It is not so much that he cannot get up in time to make it to work. It literally is because he chooses to hit the snooze button. After all, he doesn't really need this job, does he?

In any case, XiaoBao hops out of bed, and take a look in the mirror. His hair is at least presentable and not in the typical shape of the proverbial 'sex hair' which he often wakes up with, regardless of his rendezvous the night prior. Opening his closet, one can see his collection of neatly pressed and hung dress shirts, in various tones of grey, from stark white to charcoal. He decides on a smoke grey shirt and a pair of dark jeans. Peering into this rack of shoes, it is decidedly a high top Jordan 1s kind of night. So, naturally, he reaches for his trusty Jordan 1, colored in what they called Sail and Red trim. After he is all dressed, he hastily grabs a random watch off his dresser to pair with his outfit and heads out, bike helmet in tow.

Putting on his headphone, he started scrolling through some music. This song was the first one on so he decided to just let the playlist play and headed for work.

After a short ride, he would arrive and see that the rest of the evening crew had already arrived. Sighing, he parked and locked his bike and headed in, music still playing.

Without much more than a small wave of nod to any crew he would pass by, he first headed into the back area and dropped off his helmet, one that is haphazardly decorated with stickers and graphics. Taking out his earbuds, he made sure his phone was set to 'vibrate' and tucked it along with the headphones into his right pocket. Straightening himself out, he headed out to the front and approached Matina. "Hey, sorry about being late. Where do you want me tonight?" He said to her, while fixing his hair in short, ruffling movements.

Chen XiaoBao

Name: Chen XiaoBao

Age:20

Gender: Male

Ethnicity:Asian (Chinese by descent, Taiwanese by location)

Sexuality:Heterosexual

Year: 3

Appearance:XiaoBao stands a respectable 5'9" and weighs around 170 lbs. He dabbled in sports growing up, but he isn't going pro anytime soon. He dresses for comfort. Brands don't matter. As long as the pieces are deemed comfortable by him, he will wear it. Other habits include keeping his hair semi long, in the sense that it is cut short but is kept in a messy manner. Wears glasses, not the lens-less kind. He needs them, but not as much as one might assume. Overall, just your typical college student.

Reference

Personality: In short, he is a sassafras. Intelligent, he will have some sort of witty comeback for just about anything. Underneath this rather irritating exterior, he is quite caring. He will avoid confrontation before engaging. A lover, not a fighter, in the truest sense of the word. If one was to examine his family history and his upbringing, they would very quickly conclude that he is one of those 'born with a silver spoon up their ass' types. However, he really is not. He is genuine, most of the time, and rather easy to approach.

Backstory: XiaoBao was born approximately 20 years ago in Taiwan. His parents, both descendants of mercantile families. On his mother's side, the family had a very successful business. When his mother and father married, it was discovered that, though he seemed every bit a 'Jack-Of-All-Trades' type, his father actually was very entrepreneurial and had a knack for running a good business. Under the leadership of his mother and father, the family business thrived, paving the way of the lifestyle XiaoBao and his family grew accustomed to.

Growing up, XiaoBao was never wanting. He simply had to ask, and he received. However, that is not to say his parents gave him everything he wanted without first validating the need or merit in XiaoBao receiving what he is asking for. For example, for some reason when he was eight, XiaoBao wanted a vintage watch to wear. These are valued in similar fashion to collector's cars. XiaoBao asked for a vintage Radiomir Panerai, one of the more expensive vintage watches in the market, if one can even have one imported from Europe. His parents agreed, on the condition of him doing whatever chore they asked of him, without recourse, for six months. When six months came and gone, and Xiaobao fulfilled his part of the bargain, a pristine Panerai watch showed up in his room one afternoon and it was his to keep and care for. Until this day, XiaoBao still has the watch, although he does not wear it anymore.

Deeming the education environment in Taiwan to not reach the quality of that in the State, he was sent over to the US as a boarding student and eventually settled in Arizona and Whiteboroughs University. Though his parents pay for his room and board, along with other expenses that relate to his education, they give him very little in terms of spending money. Therefore, he sought out employment around campus, trying his hand at being a staff member in the coffee shop.

Other:
-He loves to cook, but cannot utilize flour in any application.
-Secretly enjoys Hip Hop music and street culture.

Shinpachi was finished around the same time Shizuo did. He did take a little more time to put all the equipment away. Before long, he met up with Shizuo and straightened himself up a little bit as well. "I mean, I was planning on having dinner and going through out regularly scheduled training first before going for those laps later on tonight, but you feel free to do whatever. I mean, I don't need to be there for the laps, unless you want me to beat you that is..." He said, with a slight chuckle.

"So yeah, feel free to join me for some food, otherwise I'll see you later then, man."

@PrinceAlexus Interacting with Vika. The impromptu lunch service is probably ending soon.

"Ah. No, no. Not flirting. I just get...excited? Carried away? when I'm talking about food and cooking. You can say its my passion." He said, chuckling slightly. "Its up to you though. If you're not feeling up for it, we don't have to. Other wise, we can." Ryan meant what he said. He was never going to force Victoria to do something that might be potentially dangerous.

Standing back up and stretching a bit, he spoke back to Victoria "Well, in any case, hopefully the food was good and I do wish you a good trip. Congratulations on your parent's wedding. I'm sure it will be a splendid affa- I mean a splendid event." He realized using the word affair in conjunction with wedding is probably not the best idea. "This meal is obviously free of charge, but don't tell the owner that." He chuckles. "I have some more prep work to do, I'll be up here for some of it, but parts of it will have to be done in the main kitchen. So, please do excuse me if I step away." Ryan gave a small bow before diving back in to work, checking on the fish and other produce that is to be used for tonight's dinner service.

Truth be told, Ryan was flirting a little bit. And if Victoria couldn't feeling, Ryan's avoidance of essentially whatever Victoria said should give her all the answer she needs...
