五 [Accidental Video]

[brbmodernizing]

[The camera turns on as the device falls over a little, giving a rather interesting view of Japan, huddled in the corner of the room, papers all around him. Not just any papers-- art. They were drawn on. Filled with pictures.

Many strange pairings are scattered about in the pile. (Those are innocent, by the way. His drawings. Are not.) Not just those pictured, but obscure ones you can't even imagine. Have some Tohma/Suguru, Liz/Canada, Seifer/his gun (don't ask about that one). But, whatever you can imagine-- if Japan has spoken with you, you might be here. The more he's spoken with you, the more you seem to be included. Denmark, Tohma, and America.. I feel for you. His family.. should be used to this.

Japan doesn't seem to notice that his communicator fell over, and is smiling a little as he draws. He's not speaking to himself, but he does pause on the occasion to tap a pencil against his chin.

It's when he has just finished a nice picture of Denmark and Sweden that he notices the camera peering over his beautiful drawings. Immediately he reaches over, panic on his face, and shuts it off. MAYBE NO ONE SAW.]

(ooc: I find it necessary to be noted that while I was searching for pictures of pairings that would make the characters squirm, I found art that should never exist. Also, you need pixiv to view them all properly, sorry!)

[Lmao Seifer did not see that coming, no, hello floor. For a moment Seifer's... well stunned. That's more something he would do than Japan is he being a bad influence on you Japan. But it registers that Japan did just flip him. Which is pretty much throwing down a challenge; Seifer's not sure if he's amused or pissed, but he's definitely grinning.]

The hell kind of talk is that- you wanna keep that crap you better make me let you, Hero.

[And this is Seifer moving to grab Japan's leg and yank it out from under him.]

[Japan has no idea why he's grinning. But he's staring and trying to figure it out when he feels his leg being grabbed and his view changes. FFFFF. He struggles to regain himself and grabs that arm.]

W-what-- I do not want to fight! I was trying to avoid that!

[But try to move and he's gonna break out some karate or something, I don't even.]

You think you can just throw me and get away with it? Not a chance.

[Fff go for it Japan; Seifer's not too bad a fist fighter, but he's got nothing on someone trained to it. He moves to stand up, the grin on his face pretty much daring Japan to do his worst.]

[brbmodernizing]

[A hand to a pressure point and another attempt at flipping you over. But after that he's probably not going to try and hope that works again.]

It was to prevent fighting, Almasy-san.

[Hesitation. He's still holding your arm cuz. Stop.]

...I will continue if you refuse to stop, but I do not wish to fight. I advise that you stop.

[Crap. Hello floor again it's a good thing Seifer's used to getting beat up by this point in his knight career. Instinct says to get back up again and continue this, but he doesn't, pausing instead. Which is testament to how much he likes Japan honestly; it's not often Seifer does what someone tells him.]

One condition.

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

And what would that be?

[Looking at you all cautiously. Sob.]

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[Well, on the one hand, you took his mind off destroying your art portfolio Japan. On the other hand... this is Seifer.]

You owe me a sword fight.

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

[gjdksflgjkf]

E-excuse me?

[He's going to trust you enough to let go of your arm, now. But he steps back a bit defensively.]

A sword fight, Almasy-san? What would that accomplish?

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[He sits up, but doesn't stand up just yet. The look he levels at Japan is pretty much says he's not going to let this go.]

Tch, you threw me; you think I'm just gonna forget? Don't worry, you can keep your little art collection, much as it creeps me out, I won't involve it in this. But either you fight me here or you fight me later with swords.

Better pick one. Well?

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

[Japan sort of frowns down at Seifer. Thank goodness his art will be safe, but.. Peace is always best. Still, maybe this can be considered a spar, and he can practice for harder times. ...]

If it cannot be avoided, I will participate in a sword fight with you later.

Though I advise against it. [Have a cocky-imperial-Japan-look. It's about the only time he ever might look even a little cocky. Be amazed.]

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[Oh Japan, you give him things like this he's just going to want to draw them out of you more. Seifer just smirks back in response and stands up.]

You keep telling me things like that, but so far I ain't seeing it. Deal. I'mm'a hold you to this, better not disappoint me.

[...A small pause.]

And I'd better not catch you with that art again. I see you showing it to anyone I'm coming back over to finish things.

[Because really :|]

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

I'll be sure to make it clear this time.

[Said so seriously, and yet he sighs afterward. And at the art comment, he coughs a little. Maybe there's some blush. Right, the pictures. Ah.]

...I will do everything I can to prevent them from being seen like that.

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

Sure you will.

[He waves a hand dismissively. Still he calms down a little and looks somewhat less like a guy looking for a fight just for the hell of it.]

Tch, you better. So what was that about tea earlier?

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

[Japan stares at Seifer for a few minutes, then glances back towards the room. Oh you. He's going to keep his thoughts to himself.]

Would you like some?

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[Hey you draw creepy pictures of him he's going to abuse your hospitality. And he had some things he wanted to ask Japan about anyways, might as well do it now.]

Yeah, it ain't that bad. No way I'm gonna get anything like it back in my world anyways. If you've got a moment though that's good too.

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

Mm, of course.

[Japan figures as much. Really, though, he likes conversation. And company (when it's not trying to burn his beautiful art). And Seifer. Seifer is... interesting.]

Would you rather have it at my place, or shall I bring it over?

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

Here's fine unless you'd rather I get out. [Totally understandable, he wouldn't complain fff. And don't tell him he's interesting Japan, he'd freak a bit in a bad way.]

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

Of course not.

[No, he wouldn't. It's just he reads people by habit, and why do you randomly go from fighting for reals to fighting for fun to not even fighting and demanding tea.

Japan moves over to make the tea, now.]

Feel free to make yourself at home, Almasy-san.

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[Fff he couldn't even tell you if he wanted to Japan; he just does whatever he feels like. 'Make yourself at home' isn't something Seifer hears often though and honestly he wouldn't even know how to do so if he did so he just... sort of falls back on military protocol and stands at ease. It's not intentional and he does it without even realizing it.]

Heh, you sure you wanna say that.

[...] You remember how long you've been in Discedo?

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

Yes, I trust one tires of meeting the ceiling.

[Why yes he did just throw a teasing comment at you. Call it tiredness. Or leftover energy from that chase-->fight scene. Gosh. He sets the kettle on the stove and turns around.]

Yes, it will be two months on the fourth, I believe. Why do you ask?

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles a bit at that. Looks like he's getting all sorts of surprises out of Japan today.]

Just keeping track. Things are getting more complicated than I expected around here.

[A small shrug.]

What year are you from back on Earth?

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

Mm, this place is strange.

[Moving to clean a bit, because god his brothers can be messy. But he's still facing you when he speaks.

Why so many questions, Seifer? Not that he minds.]

1904.

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

It ain't that bad. Just more factors. ...Easier actually.

[He thinks a bit before asking his next question.]

You told me before you're at war with Russia? How'd that happen?

commentlog!

[brbmodernizing]

[Japan's quiet for a moment as he moves to retrieve two cups from the cabinets.]

That's correct.

I do not agree with Russia-san's ways, to begin with. Currently, I am struggling to improve, and I have recently risen as a World Power. Russia-san is threatening my power. He wishes to have control over Manchuria and Korea. The land.

[He seems super serious on this topic, by the way. Fear his scary face as he pours the tea.]

If I allow my power to fade, I will be crushed by the western powers. I cannot allow that.

commentlog!

[inyourgarden.livejournal.com]

[Seifer notes that face, but he's not really surprised. People don't go to war just for kicks. ...Well people who aren't him, he'd probably do it just for kicks if he felt like it.]

Russia from the same time as you?
