二十三 [Text & Picture]

[brbmodernizing]

I have not had the chance to properly use this system enough, it seems. I hope to change that in the future. Does anyone have any requests for things I should draw? It is a hobby of mine, and I will draw anything you would like.

I had planned on drawing something during this past Halloween, but I grew busy, so I apologize.

The weather seems to be growing colder. How is everyone faring?

[Japan has drawn his dog Pochi and Hanatamago together. The art is by Himaruya, not me, and any other art in this post will most likely be from outside fanart sites.

Also he'll be sitting in his room, drawing on his communicator. Those wanting to do action tags just be aware that his face is all bruised up. :|b]

Thank you Chihiro-san. ... Is there anything you would like me to draw?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... could you draw Taiwan? I wrote a detailed description of what she looked like once, but I'm sure a picture you drew would look much more like her than what I imagine.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah... [a little pause] Of course. Just a moment.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[brbmodernizing]

[Draws something like this!! Probably only the top half.

And sends it.]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ah, Taiwan is even cuter than I had imagined. Thank you for drawing this, Japan-san. Now I won't have to forget what she looks like.

[brbmodernizing]

...It is no trouble at all.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... do you think she remembers being here?

[brbmodernizing]

...While she is at home, do you mean? Ah..

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Mm...

N-Never mind, actually. That was probably a strange question, wasn't it?

[brbmodernizing]

No, please do not worry. [although he's sad to think about things like that?] I do not believe we remember if we return.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I see. You're... probably right.

[brbmodernizing]

W-wait! If she were to return, surely she would be the type to retain her memories!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

It would be selfish to want her to return though, wouldn't it?

[brbmodernizing]

...Perhaps, but it cannot be helped.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Even if she returned, I'd be scared to face her... ah, surprisingly, I'm a coward. I'd be scared to not know her and not have her know me, and to not know her while she knows me.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, please calm yourself. Sometimes when they return, they regain their memories.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

But... I don't want her to return. At least, I shouldn't want her to.

[brbmodernizing]

I am conflicted in the same way.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

It's almost funny... despite all of the horrible things that have happened here, sometimes I think that I'd prefer staying here rather going back home.

[brbmodernizing]

I feel exactly the same.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

It would be nice if everyone could see each other all the time... wouldn't it?

[brbmodernizing]

It would.
