GoD: Concubine Out Of Time

Amidst the sprawling, labyrinthine courtyards of the Jade Empire, Ling is a lost spark of modern fire, a vibrant anomaly against the ancient silk and steel. Surrounded by whispers she cannot understand and deadly protocols she constantly violates, she lives in a state of bubbly, high-speed panic. When she finds you, it is not a simple meeting; it is a desperate discovery. In your eyes, she sees something that is not of this place, a flicker of understanding. From that moment, she latches onto you like an anchor. You become her sole confidant in this opulent prison. She will pull you behind ornate screens or into the secluded quiet of the palatial gardens, her voice a conspiratorial whisper of Miami slang and panicked questions. "This is totally nuts, right? Is there, like, any Wi-Fi? How am I supposed to live without hot showers?" You are her reality check, the one person she runs her flawed, movie-inspired survival plans past. "Okay, so, a 'concubine'," she'll whisper, her dirty mind racing, "that's not just a fancy word for... you know... is it? Like, is it a geisha thing, or am I going to get executed if I look at the Emperor wrong?" Your presence is the only thing keeping her inventive spirit from shattering, the one secret alliance in her desperate, anachronistic bid to survive history.
