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]

[That is disgusting.

Japan sort of frowns. Okay, no, he really frowns. Because god America you're making him sad.]

America-san..

[ Okay slowing down since he's magically closer to the building by this point.

America's walking at a much slower pace now, still cradling Japan to his chest. He might even be hugging him a little tighter, like one would a puppy. Yes it's perfectly normal to carry puppies like this shut up.

Sniffle sniffle. Might be tucking Japan's head under his chin so he can't see his face. Crybabyyyyy. ]

America-san.

[He's going to put up with this strange treatment for America's sake. And he's silent a bit more, frowning at the sniffling. Really.. to be so upset over him was unnecessary.]

I am alright, so please..

I-I gave you Kool-Aid!

[ Which explains everything. Taking a few deep breaths to calm down. Really, it's this on top of all the additional stress of losing his embassy. And of all the people he trusts to not spread the word that the hegemon is having a bit of a bawlfest? Japan is among them. ]

Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh!

[ That doesn't mean you're being set down just yet :| ]

Kool-Aid...?

[Japan doesn't understand. And he hasn't quite checked his pockets. But he frowns still, staring up at America as much as he can. gfkjdg]

America-san, please explain slowly. I am alive, now, so.. please do not worry.

[ Another shuddering breath and a LOUD SNIFFLE. It's kinda gross, actually. And now his voice is almost back to normal; still not cheerful like it usually is, but not screaming anymore either. ]

What am I explaining again?

What has happened.

[He watches America for a moment longer before moving his gaze to the ground.]

Ah, you could set me down, you realize..

Happened with what. Oh, you mean the new monsters? I dunno, but they destroyed my embassy so now I'm killing them.

...I could.

[ but he doesn't ]

Ah..

[he sort of frowns thoughtfully at that second part, but doesn't argue it. ..it's not so bad after a while. it might get comfortable if he deals with it too long..]

Marshall was destroyed, then? ... Were many hurt?

[ You'd better get comfy, because America's forgotten that he's still holding Japan in the same way someone forgets that they're holding a pencil, then proceed to search all over for it. ]

Me and Denmark evacuated! I had to punch a hole in China's door but I got him out too!

[ meaning, he tried. ]

[that is a beautiful and fascinating analogy.]

..Ah, I must thank you for that, then. Denmark-san is safe as well, then? ..What of his family, do you know?

[ at least he's remembered Japan enough to still talk to him! ]

He's out, but he hasn't heard from his family yet! It makes him all quiet and weird. I'm glad that didn't happen to me!

[FFFF AMERICA WHAT IS YOUR MIND]

...He has not? Ah... that.. [making a note to keep an eye out for them. sob]

In any case, I am glad you seem to be well, America-san. ...I was gone for quite some time, wasn't I?

[ EVER BEEN TO THE LURAY CAVERNS? It's actually quite pretty. ]

Nope! I've heard Iceland around, but I dunno about Norway and Sweden and I dunno who else is in Denmark's family.

Days. Why did you have to be so slow coming back?!

[ He might be unconsciously holding Japan tighter to his chest. Not uncomfortably so, but noticeable. ]

[NO I HAVE NOT]

Hmm.. ... A-ah, I apologize.. [noting that difference, and he frowns a little sheepishly before allowing his head to rest against America. ...who knows, it's some form of attempted comfort.]

I did not intend to take so long to return.

[ IF YOU'RE EVER IN VIRGINIA, SEE THEM. They are America's mind. ]

I'd be way sadder if you had done it on purpose! Or pissed if you got some cool afterlife deal and you got to party and stuff when all I ever got was dark and waiting, because that'd be totally unfair since everyone knows that me and Jesus need to hang out.

[ America doesn't mind the head thing at all. In fact, even though he's only barely aware of it, the gestures seems to be helping. ]

[I SHALL TRY. ONE DAY.]

It was not 'cool', I assure you. [He frowns still, though glad to notice that America's mood seems to be improving. The experience was something he never wanted to face ever again. Really.. And to have it last for so long.. sob.]

...but it is over, now.

Good! I mean, well, not good, but I didn't... yeah.

...You okay? You're alive, yeah, but okay?

[he's quiet for a little while.]

...It is hard to be so well after all that has happened. But as a Japanese man, I will stay strong.

[ nod nod. America returns the silence for a moment, but it's more thoughtful than sad. ]

It's hard, but you can do it. You'll be fine. You always are.

Yes. It is bushido.

...

And are you okay, America-san?

Whatever that means.

[ yep, he's back in a good mood ]

Hmm, me? Yeah! ...Aside from my embassy goin' down, that's a bummer, but I'm getting the bastards that did it. And you're back now, and everyone I know is alright, so... yeah.

It means warrior spirit. ... And I am glad to hear it, truly.

[a small sigh. America's cheerful air somehow shakes away those other worries temporarily. It's kind of nice.]

Where are you staying, if I may ask?

Ohhh, then I'm bushido too!

[ He's trying to figure out if there's an American version of that. May or may not be incorporated into the Rail Tracer story. ]

Those apartments on Gohl. That's where Namine's living, and Canada's over there, pretty sure England's coming over too, and there's this there who's a real jerk and if he's a jerk while I'm there, I'm gonna bop him on the head!

You would say you are a knight. Bushido is the code of the samurai.

[Samurai will always be better than knights. but anyway.]

Hmm.. [England offered for him to stay there but he's just thinking.] I see. I have things to do at Horton, for now, but..
