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]

[actionmobile] - wow why am I first

[lutefisk]

[When Norway first turns to face his communicator the picture nearly entices a phantom smile, though it's cut short when he realizes its creator.

This past week has felt muted compared to most, where little was accomplished within the confines of the apartment, and nothing was exchanged aside from the absolute necessities. He needed time to settle and accept, but he had no intention of allowing the entire ordeal fester like it already had many times over.

A few minutes after the entry is posted there's a brisk knock on Japan's door.]

[actionmobile] - because you are my one true rabu

[brbmodernizing]

[In the middle of another sketch, Japan doesn't glance up. A knock could be anyone, but he isn't exactly expecting Norway, so his response is generic.]

Hai, please come in.

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

That's a great picture!

[brbmodernizing]

[using voice now]

Ah? Do you think so? You are too kind.

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

It's a lot better than what I've been able to do. I haven't figured out how to draw on the communicators very well yet.

[brbmodernizing]

Would you like assistance? I have learned that it is not too difficult to work with.

[actionmobile] - iyaaaan~ let's run away together

[lutefisk]

[When given consent the door slowly opens, revealing what could presumably be the person Japan least expected. Norway's gaze is neutral, which was normal in itself except for the various blues and blacks smudged over his face, nearly matching Japan's face.

The Nordic waits for the latter to look up before he speaks, calm and quiet.]

I want to talk.

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

Really? That would be great!

[actionmobile] - /runs away with, sparkling all the while

[brbmodernizing]

[When the door is opened and there's silence, Denmark is eliminated from the possibilities. Actually, Denmark was probably eliminated when someone didn't come crashing through the doors. Iceland maybe, though? Finland, visiting? Sweden even? He doubted all of these--

And suddenly he glanced up and connected it all. After a bit of silence, he set his communicator to the side.]

...Ah, very well. Where?

[brbmodernizing]

What do you seem to be having the most trouble with? Or perhaps I could draw something for you..

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

Mostly just getting the picture in the communicator to look like what I'm trying to draw. Drawing on paper is a lot easier.

[brbmodernizing]

Pen to paper is certainly more responsive, isn't it? Perhaps you could try writing with the tool before you attempt drawing. It make improve your strokes.

[actionmobile]

[lutefisk]

Not here. [If there's one thing he learned it's that Denmark's presence can only harm. He can't risk the latter's involvement, and so he pauses to decide on a neutral location.]

The barn. The monsters don't attack there often.

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea! It would save me a lot of paper and crayons if I could figure out how to draw here better.

[actionmobile]

[brbmodernizing]

[He nods]

...Alright. [and he stands even, because this is something that needs to be settled now. He'll leave his sword here, too. You know. Just in case... He can defend himself from monsters with his fists..]

[brbmodernizing]

Consistent practice will prove quite useful.

[littlemissfreud.livejournal.com]

I like it warmer, but I guess it can't be helped. Your picture's really cute too, by the way!

[gallantgoggles.livejournal.com]

[Takato laughs.]

And I have lots of time. Well, when I'm not helping Mr. Gyatso or training with Guilmon.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, that is good, then! Surely it will not take you too long to become used to it.

[brbmodernizing]

Is that so? A-ah, and do you think that? How kind of you to say.

[actionmobile]

[lutefisk]

[Wow. But Norway notices this as they leave the room, and so he returns the gesture by not bringing a gun. If anything, they could move quickly and return on Freyja. Or use their fists.

When they finally leave the apartment the Nordic remains quiet, his own gesture of letting Japan gather his thoughts before they begin.]

[actionmobile]

[brbmodernizing]

[This is going to be one silent walk to the barn, then. Japan has too much to think about..]

[littlemissfreud.livejournal.com]

You could say it gets a bit toasty around where I lived. And I do! It's the truth~

[brbmodernizing]

Ahh, so that is how it is. I see.

You are too kind... Though I appreciate it. I quite enjoy drawing.

[littlemissfreud.livejournal.com]

I can tell! I tried drawing a while ago too, but I'm not that good at it.
