A wild Japan appears!?

[honda]

[ He hesitantly pokes his head around a door, then slowly begins exploring ]

[ What is this place? Where's everyone else? ]

[ Is a bit nervous, not quite sure what he'll find here. ]

Comments

[veveveneto]

Ciao, Japan! [waves from afar!]

[honda]

[ is a bit startled at first, but relaxes upon seeing it's just Italy ]

Good evening, Italy-kun.

...Ah, this may be a strange question to ask you, but exactly where are we?

[veveveneto]

[he won't answer before running up to you and hugging you!]

Oh, it's this weird place they call "headquarters"! I don't know what it's headquarters of, but there's free food!

[honda]

[ AUTOMATIC FREEZE UPON CONTACT and then takes a few steps backwards to escape it!! ]

[ but still bows to Italy in greeting ]

"Headquarters"? Is this a base of sorts?

[ "free food" sounds suspicious to him ... begins to become a bit nervous again ]

[haltedshowers]

[If he keeps poking around in rooms like that, he'll run into plenty of things. Lots of nonsense, rooms full of furniture fit for a giant or made of candy, or anything he could think of(or not think of.) Any large, double doors he stumbles upon lead to a library.]

[And eventually he runs into a Germany in one of those rooms, luckily one that didn't seem to be strange like the others, who'd been contently reading in solitude. Is a little startled when he hears the door open, not that he's doing anything suspicious!]

A-ah, Japan. Hello. [Gives him a nod in greeting.] . . .you look troubled. Is something the matter?

[honda]

[ is becoming more and more confused and troubled by this strange place ]

Ah, Germany-san! Good evening. [ bows in greeting ]

Italy-kun told me you were here but he also said...

[ lowers his voice ]

E-eto... is it true there's copies of everyone here?

Doesn't that sound suspicious? As if we're caught in a conspiracy by an enemy?

[haltedshowers]

Good evening. [Nods in return.]

Ah. . .that. Yes, that's the truth! I-it's something like--believe me, you know none of us like to bring this up--well, r-remember last Christmas or, rather, the Christmas before. When the--the cat-eared Frances. . . . [Shudders thinking about it. Thinks that should be enough to remind you.] It's a little bit like then!

Of course it sounds suspicious! But it's the truth, as little sense as it makes! Ah. . .at first, it's rather difficult to tell them all apart, if you know enough of one person, but there are usually small differences--ones from different years dress or speak differently, some are younger or older than you're used to, some aren't nations at all. Unfortunately, you'll get used to it in time.

[honda]

[ takes a small step back, looking kind of dazed at first as he remembers that Christmas ]

[ but he's a Japanese man, he must keep his composure!! ]

It all sounds like a lot to take in, but I will attempt to become used to it in time, as you say, Germany-san.

Eto, would you perhaps know something about a ... basement area that's supposedly here?

[vereintundfrei]

"Hello. Do you need some help?" She figures that he is likely new given how nervous he looks.

[honda]

[ he bows in her direction ]

Hai, actually, I was wondering if you could tell me more about this place...

ah, I am Japan, and you are... Liechtenstein-san?

[vereintundfrei]

She makes a small curtsy back at him. She is not entirely sure what to do.

"Yes." She nods.

"This place is called headquarters. It randomly takes people from multiple universes and brings them here. Some of the rooms do strange things. There is no known way to leave."

[honda]

[ he contemplates this new information ]

No known way to leave...? Are we really sure about that?
