十二 [Video]

[The video switches on to Japan, and he leaves the device lying there. He's got his uniform on, though his arms aren't through the sleeves, and he's looking pretty grim. Ignoring that, he seems to be in the hospital which is not in good shape.]

...Forgive me for what has occurred.

Ah, but if I may ask, what has happened to the hospital? It is... [a pause. he looks away from the camera.]

My sword is missing. I am not sure how I will maneuver back to the apartments, but I suppose I can try my best.

[an even longer pause. so much pausing.]

My sincerest apologies to those I have let down. [and he reaches over and clicks off the feed]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[ You ain't seen nothin' yet, Japan. He's still walking towards the building. ]

It's no problem! I wanted to see if you were okay, and I heard your voice over the network, and I just thought "Japan!" and went to go see ya.

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[He looks up at him a little surprised.]

...You must have been close, if that is the case.

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

I ran fast.

[ LIKE IT'S THE MOST NATURAL THING IN THE WORLD. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

T-that is not--! [SO CONFUSED HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE and maybe a bit flattered BUT CONFUSION IS BLOCKING IT]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

[ FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET-- no not really. ]

World super power, remember?

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

I-I see...

[Actually the whole world power thing quiets him for a bit. ...Russia took his sword, and he could feel during that fight that the other man felt he shouldn't even be allowed to have it.

SOB DEPRESSION

but ignoring that. He glances to Horton..]

Ah, well.. I have to speak with Seifer-san, first. ..Perhaps afterwards I can go to Gohl.

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

[ Don't worry Japan, America will get it back for you! He'd even lend you his E-tool, and that's a privilege reserved for the few.

Finally, he sets down Japan. ]

Good, go to Gohl! Can't wait to see ya there! Make me food when you're there. I'll see ya?

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[Luckily Seifer took it. And will give it back. With a punch that even our kool aid antics could not avoid. Japan blinks gratefully at being set down and straightens himself out as he watches America.]

I will be sure to do that. I will see you later today, then.

[He laughs, softly.]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't.. of course they'll be okay! Everyone will be okay, as long as we all work together, right?

[video]

[brbmodernizing]

...Right.

[video]

[dueling-hearts.livejournal.com]

Right!

[The more optimism he forces into his words the more true it'll become. Of course.]

The wards are holding out...

[brbmodernizing]

That is good news.

[terrorizedafu.livejournal.com]

I..I know... ((She visibly wipes her eyes.))

[brbmodernizing]

...So I advise that you stay here.

[terrorizedafu.livejournal.com]

...I do not think that it is safe here, either...

[brbmodernizing]

No, you are right. ...But in comparison..

[terrorizedafu.livejournal.com]

Uhm... Japan Kahn?

[brbmodernizing]

Yes?

[terrorizedafu.livejournal.com]

Ah...

Do you mind if I stayed with you until I am able to find Tetsu Kahn?

[brbmodernizing]

Tetsu.. Ah! I believe I know who you are speaking of. I do not mind.
