十二 [Video]

[brbmodernizing]

[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

[brbmodernizing]

[Sheepishly trying to wave that off.. Closest.. he doesn't even know. WHY MUST YOU DO THIS.]

A-ah? Closest? Do you think? I.. ah..

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

I'd better be!

[ Might be shaking Japan just slightly. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[gfdglkjdsf not like Holland I hope]

A-America-san..

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

Yeah?

[ WAITING FOR AN END TO THAT SENTENCE. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

Ah.. ... To state a favorite out loud would make others jealous, you see. [WILL THAT WORK..]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

So I am the favorite, right? [ HE JUST. DOESN'T GET IT. In his mind, everyone is already jealous of him because he's the best. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[Well if he doesn't understand that, maybe he'll fail to understand this hesitance.]

.........Sure.

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

[ No, he doesn't. Not at all. ]

YIPPEE! I KNEW IT!

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

Careful or you will drop me. [America you embarrass him]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

[ I'm pretty sure America embarrasses Americans. ]

No I won't!

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

I-if you insist.

[TRUE. and might be clinging just in case oh god.]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

It's fact!

[ HAPPY STARE. America sees nothing wrong or odd with this situation. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[hnnnngh wary staring at the ground]

...Ah.. well. ... Are we nearly there? [tries to look around and see if they're near Hortonnn]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

Uh-huh! Right there!

[ America actually moves a hand to point to point to a building. His strength doesn't falter; his remaining hand shifts with little effort to ensure Japan doesn't fall. The buffalo tossing clearly has paid off. ]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[brbmodernizing]

[Oh my, so strong. Japan actually thinks something along those lines and follows the point with his vision.]

Ahh, I see. ... Thank you for all of this, America-san.

OH YEAAAAAAAAAH action

[starspangledhero]

[ 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.
