"Love has no Orient-ation"
"Nín hǎo, huānyíng guānglín lái Chang-Sung's de! Wǒ huì shì nǐ de nǚ zhǔrén jīn wǎn!"
Hello, and welcome to Chang-Sung's! I'll be your hostess for tonight!
Deep in the city of Hong Kong, China, is a restaurant known as Chang-Sung's. It is a small and quaint little shop where specialty soups, noodles, rices and platters are served up to the always hungry consumers. The business has been doing extremely well in the 12 years since it was first opened up and is slowly becoming a larger business. Rather then absorb smaller businesses and restaurant's, Chang-Sung's has merged with its surrounding partners to create a large circle of equality so that nobody steals any sort of business from others. They all decided on times when their restaurant would be open and what days they would operate on. Chang-Sung's owns the Weekend and Friday, operating from 11am until 1am each day.
The owner of Chang-Sung's, Mister Osakawi (insert last name here), is a relatively wealthy man. The restaurant was named after his late Father, "Chang-Sung (insert last name here)", who had a special recipe for Noodles that nobody else could copy. The knowledge of the recipe was passed onto his son as a family tradition. Now, Mister Osakawi is doing the exact same thing with his daughter, a lovely young woman who plays the role of hostess at the restaurant. He is very proud of her and loves her unconditionally, but he worries about her. At the tender age of 23, she shows no sign of wanting to find a man and settle down, not that he wants her to. His concern is more aimed towards the fact that, while his daughter is beautiful, smart, and kindhearted, she shows no interest in men her age, or any age. She shrugs it off and claims its because she's busy with work at the restaurant, but her father knows better. Her lack of trust in men is because of an her first love broke her heart in the cruelest way known to mankind. He knows she enjoys working at Chang-Sung's and hopes to inherit the business one day, he can see past her fake smile and knows that inside, she is deeply hurting and feels utterly alone.
One night, he prays to the household ancestors to help his daughter move past the pain and find somebody who will make her happy again. In a shocking turn of events, the spirit of Mister Osakawi's wife reveals herself to him and explains that she will search all of China for the one who will be with their daughter forever, telling him to look out for a sign of her success. The next week, a young American man stumbles into Chang-Lung's, hoping to inquire for the job opportunity as a waiter. He has just graduated college and arrived in Hong Kong to try and become an Author. He wished to gain inspiration for his books from the landscape and history of China. He gets the job, but they soon discover that he is clumsy, unfocused, and not very good at what he is supposed to do. However, there is a strange sense of adorableness to his actions and words, which catches the daughter off guard and gives Mister Osakawi the sign he was looking for.
As a result of the American boy's actions, the daughter is placed in charge of him to try and train the boy how to be the best he can be in his position. While their instructions continue, the daughter finds herself acting kinder then normal towards him and eventually discovers she has fallen for the young man, and he in turn, has fallen for her. But what will happen when the restaurant is threatened, the daughter's first love re-enters her life, or the American boy is forced to go back home?
Its an idea I've wanted to try now for a while where basically, they work at a Chinese restraint in Hong-Kong. They would start out as work colleagues, then slowly become friends and then, lovers. This will be a mostly realistic RP, but with the inclusion of the Ghosts of Ancestors and destiny, it will get a bit fantasy.
I'm looking for somebody to play the daughter of Mister Osakawi (insert last name here), while I play the American boy who has recently moved to China. PM me or post below if you have any questions or wish to RP this with me! I'll only be accepting a few people, so hurry and reply if you're up for this!! ^^
