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]

Commentlog! |D that honestly sounds just like him though lmao...
Date: 2010-07-19 04:24 am (UTC)[He falls silent and it's hard not to be pissed. He hates showing weakness. Even if it's Japan... it still stings. He should be better than this. He should be more capable. He should have taken care of this whole entire mess already. But that isn't the case is it, because he isn't good enough. Never good enough.]
The hell do you expect me to do about it? I can't stop now.
Commentlog! REALLY? WOO. I thought Japan would make it convincing but awkward so I tried :|
Date: 2010-07-19 04:32 am (UTC)[Japan frowns. Really, he's sympathizing with a lot of Seifer's thoughts right now. Showing weakness, even, is never something any country wants to do. Humans, either. It's no different, though some are more stubborn about it than others. He leans forward a little and now it's his turn to try for a comforting hand on the arm.]
Perhaps I could be of some help? ... There are others, as well.. Ah, I believe you can continue to work as you do while allowing more time for yourself. At least a small break would be sufficient at such a time.
Commentlog! FFF Seifer would just say it while being in Japan's face it was pretty spot on |D
Date: 2010-07-19 04:56 am (UTC)The hell do you think I am?
[He stands up and looks down at the country. Again that laugh, more of a chuckle really, far from pleasant.]
You think I'm a little boy who can't handle war? Who can't get the job done?! Heh... I bid farewell to my childhood a long time ago Japan.
[He doesn't even realizing he's saying the very same thing Edea said to him before she dragged him off to be her knight. But there's a heady feeling running through his brain now like a half remembered dream. What it means to be a knight, to be out in the field, to be doing real work, not propping up this wreck of a city. The situation is hardly any better back home for him; how long had it been since he'd slept back there? How many injuries had he gained in the fighting? The details to worry about, the idiots to deal with, having no one, but his posse to rely on and all the world against him. Discedo is child's play; he won't be broken by it. He refuses to be! Again that chuckle and it really is a nasty sound isn't, there isn't the slightest echo of kindness in it.]
Is this all you wanted?
Commentlog! >DDD
Date: 2010-07-19 05:05 am (UTC)You are misunderstanding! [Japan rarely sounds so stern, but something about this held a haunting parallel he had to hammer out.]
You may be young, but I can understand that you have been through much. ...Whether you choose to admit or acknowledge it or not, you have helped me various times, and I cannot stand by as you laugh and taunt your way through such times with the cocky air of a westerner.
If you continue as you are now, do not think I will stand by idly and watch you fall.
[a pause]
I am not trying to insult you.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:16 am (UTC)[He slashes at the empty air violently with his arm, denying this inevitability. He can't afford to fall. He won't allow it to happen!]
Whatever you think's gonna happen, it ain't! Don't even kid yourself!
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:24 am (UTC)Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:33 am (UTC)[A definite glare, but there might... be something slightly desperate in there.]
You think I can't handle myself!?
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:37 am (UTC)Calm yourself! That is not the case! Of course you can handle yourself!
If you do not have to handle something alone, however, why would you feel the need to? It is not an issue of needing any help-- it is an issue of accepting it if you can! Why must you be so hard on yourself unnecessarily?!
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:53 am (UTC)I'm not.
[His words are terse and he's tense as can be, but he's not shouting and he's not throwing punches which is a good thing.]
Who else is gonna take command? Well?
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 05:59 am (UTC)That is an issue that sorts itself out. ... However, even while you may wish to be in command, even while you may be able to handle much-- there is always a point.
[a big sigh]
Please, Seifer-san.. [he trails off for a moment, then catches the thought again.] You are tired. Is this your reason for your anger, or are you genuinely insulted that I am pointing out such a thing?
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:14 am (UTC)[He takes Japan's hand off his arm. He's tired of people questioning him and he's tired of people trying to figure him out and get inside his head. He isn't some rare creature for wannabe psychiatrists to figure out.]
You wanna worry about me Japan then help me. Don't tell me to let people die so you feel better. I know my limit and this ain't it.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:20 am (UTC)[Frowning so much right now.]
I am not asking such things. Surely you realize that? ..I would not ask such things.
I speak my concerns out of care. Is that so strange? You have spoken similar concerns.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:28 am (UTC)Tch. Don't even compare the two, this is different.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:30 am (UTC)Is that so? I do not see the clear difference.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:39 am (UTC)Don't gimme that crap. This is a combat situation, I ain't messin' around here. [Well maybe a little here and there, but hey he gets bored, anyways-]
I ever not come through?
[Potentially backfiring questions here, but lmfao he really doesn't want to have this conversation.]
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:41 am (UTC)Seifer-san.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:44 am (UTC)No.
[You know what, he's just, grabbing his gunblade and heading for the door. He has things to do.]
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:47 am (UTC)Wait!
...
I cannot allow you to leave until you realize my intentions. I told you previously that I would.. "have your back," Seifer-san. I do not mean to go back on that. So I will deal with your bursts of anger, regardless, but do not think I will stop being concerned.
I will assist you with things.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:54 am (UTC)Enough. I get it. I ain't got time for this Japan. Worry all you want, I'm not playing hooky when there's things to do. You wanna try and have my back you can, but I told you before you ain't gonna get anywhere. Are you done? Is this it? I'm not arguing with you anymore.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 06:57 am (UTC)Hooky.. Your thoughts are regrettable. There should be nothing to argue over.
Fine.. Very well. I am finished.
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 07:07 am (UTC)[He lets Japan's arm go and looks down with a disgruntled sigh, running his free hand up over the back of his head. Damn it... He drags his communicator out of his pocket and slaps it into Japan's hand.]
Anything important happens tell me.
[He doesn't say anything else, but just heads to the bedroom in the apartment and slams the door behind him. HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY MAN B| He's doing it, now get off his back. ...Lmfao yes he's going to be baby about this, but you win Japan.]
Commentlog!
Date: 2010-07-19 07:09 am (UTC)He should go around imitating Seifer. Except people might be afraid.
anyway he's happy now so he's just gonna skip off and take care of things idk.]
