[voice; english] so sleepy will do tags in the morning

[ Yes. It's that time. And probably the last post before he's back to normal. ]

ALLIED FORCES, ASSEMBLE!

Americans, Britman, Frenchman, Ruskies, Chinamen, Poles, Canadians... crap who else is allied with me. Anyone who isn't in the Axis Powers or neutral (which is just another word for pansies)! I've come to a disturbing conclusion:

There are a whole bunch of Japanese people here. Which is basically my problem, and China's since I have to rescue him from Japan's shenanigans. Due to Australia's absence though, you guys have to be my back-up!

Don't worry though, I haven't forgotten about Germany. I've got my eyes and guns trained on him too. He'll surrender soon enough! In the mean time, I'm gonna go spy on the Japanese. I'll disguise myself as a German. No one will recognize me. Not even you guys. But I'll give y'all a secret signal that says I'm me! Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again.

...For the record, that salute thing he does is not an invitation for a hi-five.

Wish me luck!

[ Now he's off to go stare at people with a pair of binoculars with his hair slicked back and dressed in green. He is not a subtle spy. If you speak Japanese, Italian, or German, be warned. He is stalking you. And I will totes do stalking things once I've slept. ]

[ Propping himself up on his elbows, shooting a look at Japan. ]

If you're gonna decapitate me, hurry up and do it. I hate dawdling with death. And you.

[ Now turning his attention to Seifer. ]

I'll head back to China. I ain't bein' your prisoner. No way I'm bein' Japan's prisoner. I'd rather get captured by the Germans, and that's saying something.

[ He stops short of elaborating/whinging further and he just looks. Confused. Edgeworth informed him about the chip, but he was trashed at the time so only some information got through to him. NOT ENOUGH, THOUGH. ]

Chip? The hell are you talking about? It's been out for centuries.

[GFSDKFLDSGS that gunshot. and. that look those wordsss. It's kind of hard to hide that he looks like he wants to crawl into a corner and die right now. But he's trying his best, standing tall, sword pointed down at America.]

Seifer-san, please do not complicate things. ..We can speak in a moment if you'd like. [hesitating. still staring at America. things work out in the end, right?..]

..As long as you leave now, you do not have to be anyone's prisoner. I suggest you find China-san before I change my mind. [. . .] No conversation! Leave!

[Rooooolling his eyes. So much right now. But he shoves America's gun into his pants pocket, or what will fit anyways and grabs his coat. Unless America wants to try something else he's free to leave. When he's less insane Seifer will return his gun, but for now he figures it's probably best he holds on to it. Or gives it to China or something.]

[ He can have the gun back when he's a dirty hippie again. Or something. Still staring at Japan as he slowly gets to his feet, avoiding the gunshot in the floor like it's infected with plague. Once he's actually on his feet, he considers drawing his other gun, and he'd really rather go down fighting.

...But then he remembers he promised England that they could spy on Germans together, and the whole being dead thing would get in the way of that. So he swallows a bit of his pride (for once) and decides that it wouldn't do the world any good if he were dead. Who else would save everyone from the Axis Powers? Russia? Ew.

America heads towards the doorway with the lack of door. ]

This isn't over.

[ He doesn't even pause or turn around as he says it. It's not even a threat; it's spoken more as a simple fact. ]

[WAS GIVEN THE A-OKAY TO SPAM SO

Japan pretends not to notice those EXTREMELY INSENSITIVE EYEROLLS and moves to sheath his sword and lean it against the wall where it was. H-he hopes America won't turn around and come back. He's too tired to deal with it if he does. His gaze moves to Seifer again.]

Thank you. [it's meant to go a bit further than his usual "I appreciate it" and he stops before adding more.]

Do you recall our conversation on regret, earlier?

[Well that gets America some respect points from Seifer. If nothing else he took this like a man despite being crazy. ...Not that it makes America less crazy in Seifer's book, but at least he's a more likable crazy now.

Anyways he's not going to stop America from leaving, instead he looks Japan over a moment before frowning slightly.]

Tch... If you get into trouble Japan you know I've got your back.

[He sets his gunblade next to Japan's sword and starts picking up the mess he made. ...Lol China's going to kill him. Oh well.]

I remember. What's up?

[He sighs a little and starts helping to clean up as well. China yells at everyone anyway, oh well.. Except for Hong Kong. but..]

The war he thinks he is in is what I was speaking of.

[he could say so much more, but he'll spare Seifer and keep at fixing things up silently.]

[Enh, Seifer's used to being yelled at anyways. Goes in one ear and out the other. But he does pause in cleaning up long enough to flick Japan in the head.]

Spit it out.

[That's a little startling, so have a blink in pair with the slightest "Keh!" as he stares back. There's a bit of a hesitation before he speaks. While cleaning, of course.]

America-san is one of my first.. [..allies? friends? He stops there, and decides to start differently.] America-san helped me out of isolation. Ah, so I am saying we have a bit of history. The rest is a bit new to me, but China-san informed me.

Apparently there are two world wars in my future. During the second one, I ally with Germany-san and Italy-kun... [He picks up a piece of the chair.. what did you do to this thing.. and observes it for a moment.] I am told that I perform an unannounced military strike on one of America-san's naval bases. The attack pushed America-san from being neutral-- while supplying the.. enemy with things-- to siding with the allies completely.

[he sets the broken piece of chair aside for now, as if unsure what to do with it, and moves on to something he can handle.]

Apparently my actions provoke America-san quite a bit. Ah, at the end of the war.. [he trails off and for some reason isn't able to continue. does Seifer even get all of this. well, Japan's back is to him, and he's fiddling with the piece of chair again as if poking at it will make the thing form back again.]

[He was trying to take control of the situation okay, sheesh. Next time he won't help you out. Anyways Seifer gets it. He's spent twelve years making a career out of war; it's not that hard to follow what Japan's saying.]

Do you die?

Somehow, [he breathes that a bit heavily and sets the piece of chair down] I do not.

One bomb per city.. Two cities. They are completely destroyed. Apparently the radiation caused by it is an effect still felt.. over 60 years later.

It may be difficult to equate human injury with cities, but I can assure you, a small island nation like me...

[pausing.]

It was enough to make me surrender. I do not surrender, Seifer-san.

[A few months ago he might have agreed with that. Surrender? That had always been alright for other people, but not for him. ...And that really was still the case, but not out of pride anymore. Surrender meant absolute death and he wasn't ready for that yet. Japan's situation was different.]

You have a dream Japan?

[He thinks about this for a moment. A dream.. That is what he wants, correct? What he wants as an individual? Or what he wants as a country? He takes a moment to decide that the first one is not an issue, and nods. Putting it simply..]

Well, I wish to become more powerful.

Tch...

[What an unsurprising answer. It's almost dull.]

That what you really want Japan? You ain't sounding too convinced over there.

[looking over with glazed eyes]

It is what my people want.. What my Emperor tells me to do.. And the reason I do everything that I do.

I cannot think of anything else. [more like, he doesn't try to think about it]

[Well... he knows how that goes. Still, even if he isn't the fondest of his own situation, he still holds on to his dream. Maybe it's become a twisted thing, nothing like what he'd imagined it would be, but he's not about to let go of it now or any time soon.]

That's your reason? Because they told you to? You really that pathetic? Maybe you deserved it then, if that's all you've got to fight for.

[he's a little hurt at that, but he's trying his best not to show it. fight Japan fighttt]

You do not understand the sort of physical ties that bond me to this.

[hesitation. always.]

I suppose on a more personal level.. I am a bit boring. Ah.. simple.

I have been opened to many wonderful things and people, through modernization and.. even here. Perhaps.. wanting to hold on to all of that, and gain more.. is a bit of a dream.

[FYI HE JUST CONFESSED SOMETHING TO YOU RIGHT THERE though he dumbed it down a lot. ..not gonna do much good? :| well. Japan confesses to people like America. Holland. and Seifer apparently.]

[Everyone confesses to Seifer in time. I mean- ...lol no really he expects nothing less, cocky bastard >>; Anyways no that wasn't a good enough answer, he's also a demanding bastard I'm sure Japan's noticed. Though he will remember this later and maybe tell Japan about a few things from his world. If he feels like it. Also I don't have an icon to express just how condescendingly Seifer is looking at Japan right now so you can have this one again.]

Tch. Before you worry about regrets and wars you haven't even fought Japan you'd better get your head straight.

Do you even know what you want? I don't mean hobbies or what your people nag you for: you'd better think about what you're willing to die for. If you fight without knowing that... you're just another walking corpse who deserves to be cut down.

[He finishes picking up all the chair pieces and... idk... tossing them out the window :| might as make use of that there broken window. Picking up that glass now, yay for leather gloves!]

Edited 2010-07-01 07:16 (UTC)

[S-staring. SO CRUEL. LIKE HOLLAND WHEN IT COMES TO SOCCER.. what. But anyway.]

I do know what I am willing to die for. [he debated this first, staring over to the window. ...] But death is not something commonly occurring for countries.

Nor is being an individual. The times and places where this is acceptable is rare. ...Even the name I use for more personal purposes draws back to representing my country. Even the countries who do not seem troubled by such things are equally curious.. Denmark-san for example.

[starting up some tea because WHY NOT and then moving some furniture back into place. slowly.]

It is strange to be told something is important when for centuries it has been formed into your mind that it is not. That sort of idea is what I have been dealing with for the past few decades. I am still unsure if I am handling change properly.

[He is so demanding story time later for these confessions, or something.]

[Looool he can demand, but there's no promise he's getting it. Seifer finishes up with the glass and comes over to help with the furniture. ...Maybe they can cover the bullet hole in the floor and China will never notice. Good idea y/n?

Seifer does remember what Japan told him before though, about them being similar. He remembers thinking the same thing a time prior to even that. ...But they're really not, are they.]

If you're that curious about what it's like to be human you'd better live it up here while you've got the chance. Can't say it's the sort of picnic you seem to think it'll be, but that's for you to find out.

You think you can live like this?

[He won't ask.. just think it really loudly. Right Seifer? Definitely going with that cover up idea. China's too old to move the couch. So if they slide it over there..

And ah, Japan can find similarities in anything. Call it a hobby of his. Familiarity is nice. Understanding is great.]

I.. cannot stop being "Japan." [he looks confused for a moment, but it fades into a still sort of face] But, perhaps my point of view..

[he stops suddenly, looks a bit startled, and looks straight to Seifer. as if he's trying to see through the man's eyes or something. hoping for the answers there. SUCH A DEEP STARE WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE okay I'll get to why now.]

I have not treated you as I should! [what, still confused? maybe?]

Though you are young and human.. Ah.. For anyone who might get a step closer.. [brb realizing something dramatic, did your side of the couch just get heavier? gonna speak this next part in Japanese hurhur feel free to notice your own name. that much is obvious.]

Seifer-san and the others.. Though human, they have quite the effect on me, don't they? How can I expect to be understood if I am not understanding myself? How can I understand Seifer-san or anyone else if I do not look them in the eye? I should know this attitude by now.. the one of change-by-adapting, not by replacing. Surely.. surely I have learned this already!

[TRANSLATION: oh shit I'm putting myself on a pedestal with this country crap. etc etc. also this is why I should never stay up late. teal deer with the weirdest narration.. and Japan is just stressed, man. so he talks to himself in Japanese. yes.]

[Lolololol Seifer never took you seriously as a country Japan :'| s-sorry. His attitude just tends to make people get up on their pride so... he's used to it.

Also he does not appreciate his side of the couch getting heavier. Or the random Japanese with his name in it. And this isn't the first time Japan's spoken Japanese to him lately either. If he keeps this up Seifer's going to have to give up and ask to learn it; that won't be a happy conversation. Anyways his face is just B| like that, pretty much.]

The hell are you talking about? In a language I can understand, I dunno the hell you're speaking, but it might as well be gibberish.

[YOU WILL LEARN IT ONE DAY SEIFER. Anyway, Japan is just sort of realizing a few things for himself. Things like, I'm a country but these humans are in the same situation as me so the least I could do is attempt to explain rather than insist that they will not understand.. That sort of thing, mostly. So poor Seifer's gonna have to deal with his random babbling that he can't understand. Japan's back to helping with the couch now. ;u;]

Ah, forgive me. It is easy for me to slip and fall into Japanese. [he sighs a little and thinks how to word this without Seifer being all wtf are you even. If possible. ...OH. be vague. Being vague is the answer to everything.]

I suppose.. I was agreeing that the circumstances in this world are different than my own.

[a debate with Denmark before had him wondering if being human was a bad thing or a good thing, for them. and gosh all this conversation is just making him hesitate on getting his chip removed or not.]

[Juuust dropping his end of the couch now, how do you like that. Anyways, Japan gets a Look.]

Either make sense or don't say anything, but pick one. What's up?

[FFFFF sort of slumps over on the arm and stares over.]

...I have not given those who are not countries enough thought.

[hnnnnnnngh it's sort of embarrassing/shameful to say, for him. still slumped over that arm nnnnnngh]

I have been viewing everyone as if they are either country or citizen, and I need to recall that sometimes neither is the case. It was simply a thought. Ah.. it didn't really have to do with.. too much.
