Robin travels to China and finds more than he was expecting there.

2. Exploring my options, that’s what I did. I mean Kay was nice and everything but as far
as I was concerned she hadn’t even been born yet. I met her in the future after all. I
managed to save up some of my promotion money to take myself on a little trip to the
Orient, just to see what there was out there in this time. What I didn’t expect was that
I’d actually find someone perfect for me while I was there tomb raiding…

3. It was nearly Fall when I finally went to China, the sky was beginning to show its autumn grey
and I had only saved enough up to take a three day trip there. It didn’t seem like enough time to
really get a feel for the place, but what can you do? Visas matter when travelling internationally.
But the stuff I could sell that I found, that would be more than worth recouping my costs of the
trip right?

4. I replied to a posting on the Home Base’s Adventure Board and it was about a young
woman looking for an artifact that was said to be in the Temple of the Lost Army in the
Forbidden City. So I went to see her, but as soon as I did Lefty told me I needed to hit
on her, and well since I am irresistibly hot I figured what the hell?

5. I started out innocently enough, like complimenting her country on its verdant green
trees and rolling hills, the ancient way of life that still was present in around the area.
She was hanging on my every word, score. I found out her name was Sun Young Kim
and she was living with her brother and his wife.

6. But Lefty, being the impatient bastard he is, told me to get on with it so I did. I blew
her one of my famous kisses that had Kay eating out of the palm of my hand back in
Oasis Landing. She was single, and Flirty like me we also share the Great Kisser
ability. As much as I hate to admit, Lefty is actually right sometimes.

7. But just as I was about to close the deal, her brother showed up and started barking at
her in Chinese. She apologized for her brother’s rudeness and bowed. I figured I’d better
close the deal quickly because her brother was giving me these weird looks.

8. I asked her if she’d be willing to go out with me later on, I was still going to find her
artifact though. I had a small window of time that I would be here in China and I had to
make every moment count. Is it possible to fall in love in three days? Obviously since I
did, and I’m the Insane one here.

9. So I went in for my signature move and sealed the deal. I would return with her artifact
poste haste. I love being Irresistible.

10. I’d seen some other explorers there when I arrived, but they looked clueless about where
the supposed tomb was. As if they couldn’t see the clearly marked stone panel with foot
prints on it sitting conveniently close to a suspicious looking floor pattern. And they
say I’m crazy…shut up Lefty I am NOT repeating myself!

11. See? What did I tell you? Obvious. The other so called “professional” explorers
couldn’t even figure that out. Now let’s see what’s down there.

12. No one said there would be moving things, heavy things…I am not Athletic for a
reason. I like my girth, it adds to my appeal with the ladies. *cracks back* Anyway, let’s
keep going…that artifact has to be here somewhere.

13. Ooh shinies, did I mention how much I love shinies? I did? Well whatever, I’m saying
it again. Shiny…

14. Now there’s hitting things? *groans* Where’s the treasure? The untold amounts of
riches? I want all my suffering to be worth something! I need money.

15. That’s what I’m talking about! Bring on the bl—aww food? How old is this anyway?
Well…I’ll take it I am kinda hungry anyway.

16. In Treasure Chest number two we have, ooh shiny things!! Gold, round shiny things!
Now we’re getting somewhere!

17. Third time’s the charm right? Oh broken bowls and vases…huh. Disappointing but hey,
money is money right? And these neat little money bags I’ve found lying around should
net me some profit too. I may just make back the cost of this whole trip after all.

18. Okay…what’s a well doing down here? I didn’t know I’d be diving too, it’s like this
whole thing is trying to make me regret my girth…but it won’t beat me, I won’t let it.

19. Ooh, shiny! Look at that go!

20. Turns out it was not a real well, more like a wet tunnel…but hey I found a cool shiny
making star key in there. That’s almost worth the wet shoes and socks. Aww damnit,
my camcorder battery’s dying…
