For myself,self indulgence to mostly forget about the new game and just making my own lore with blackjack and h00kers
I also made some dialogue excerpt to go with it
(Lady tsung and shang during her early days of training. Aka the very very beginning of their relationship. Aka when shang tsung started to kinda be soft for her)
Also be sure to follow my self ship blog @mrstsung for more content (i need to post there so apologizes in advance for lack of new kontent)
Lady tsung: so what's the training lesson for today sifu?
Shang tsung: no lesson today my dear,i figured a day of rest is needed. Perhaps join me in the garden?
Shang tsung: no training.
Lady tsung: that's unusual considering that for the past few weeks you've be running me ruthlessly.
Shang tsung: *chuckling* well. Every warrior needs rest. And you've earned it most definitely.
Lady tsung: the garden is lovely. How come it still stays well kempt despite all your servents being well....dead?
Shang tsung: i tend to it when i need.
Lady tsung: all by yourself?!
Shang tsung: i have nobody else here with me my dear....well....nobody alive that is.
Lady tsung: sounds....lonely
Shang tsung: it always was. Even with my most loyal of my followers. Devote or not,i never could connect with them. At least not on the level i desired. Not the same i do with you my dear.
Lady tsung: what do you mean sifu?
Shang tsung: my dear I've never met anyone who i could feel comfortable around. I dont give trust to just anyone. Somehow....i feel like I've met a long lost friend when i speak with you.
Lady tsung: *flustered but smiling* sifu...i...don't know what to say.
Shang tsung: let's say...i rather enjoy your company. You listen when i need you to lend an ear. You are respectful. Polite. Have manners,dignity,honor,and a strong will. A gentle but strong and genuine soul. Beautiful and graceful too. I would be a fool not to.
Lady tsung: i...um..thank you sifu. By the way? How long has it been since you have genuine company...but more so company of a woman?
Shang tsung: too long...way too long my dear.
Lady tsung: do you know how to dance?
Shang tsung: dance? I haven't in a while,but yes. Why? Do wish to dance with me,here in the garden?
Lady tsung: yeah. I mean i can't dance well,but maybe it would be nice.
Shang tsung: always the ever eager to pursue knowledge. My favorite quality of yours. *smiles* of course. *lends out hand*
Lady tsung and shang danced in the courtyard,no music. Just the natural sounds of the beautiful island paradise that shang tsung was sentenced by the gods as punishment for his crimes. But now in this moment,even fleetingly. It felt like home. again. No tournament,no worry. Just...peace. just them and all the time in the world.
