八 [video]

[The video turns on to show Japan standing in his room. He's not in his blanket. Actually, he's not even in a kimono. He's wearing his dark, Meiji Uniform, indicating his change of attitude over the past few days. His sword's at his side, and you can probably spot his matching hat on a table nearby. Looking ready for battle, ready for outgoing

Isn't that--

[ pause ]

That's a lovely uniform, Japan.

[mygodmyright]

[ when you're a lonely island, you get excited over silly things ]

It's... really nothing. This is nothing more than a daily sort of outfit.

[brbmodernizing]

[true that]

Ah, is that so? I suppose England-san always has a keen sense of fashion. [walking to the door, man we look so awesome]

[mygodmyright]

[ they look like the Blues Brothers ]

You're far too kind, Japan. I'll leave all the foppishness to France; a suit and tie are all I need.

[ and after a slight pause ]

If you don't mind me asking, is the sword for decoration, or other purposes?

[brbmodernizing]

[FFFF BLUES BROTHERS. Japan glances down to his sword.]

Ah, forgive me. I bring it with me just in case-- the monsters that are outside can come out of nowhere.

... Russia-san as well.

[mygodmyright]

We'd hear the heaving of his massive girth before he could get anywhere close.

[ ITS OKAY ENGLAND CARRIES A GUN TUCKED INTO HIS BELT. And oh god that totally reminded me England was shot by Wussia. derpderpderp ]

[brbmodernizing]

[true so true. and oh goodness I forgot Japan heard about that, except not knowing it was russia. :|a]

...Ah, England-san, how are you doing? I recall Canada-san having to ask for bandages over the communicator before.

[mygodmyright]

[ it's cool man I FORGOT MYSELF. Way to go, me. ]

Oh-- that? Fine, perfectly fine. Couldn't be better. It was only a minor scuffle, and I've certainly had worse.

[ ... ] Although it's taking an abnormally long time to heal; bloody chip.

[brbmodernizing]

Would I be too forward in asking what happened?

[He frowns at that. Oh, he knows about healing time. cough almost!seppuku cough.] ... It is rather annoying, isn't it? Hopefully it heals perfectly.

[mygodmyright]

I certainly hope so. It's been impossible for me to do anything around the house with this.

[ WALKING ALONG QUIETLY and trying to think up a good excuse that doesn't sound too stupid ]

It was er--.

[ it's Japan. Maybe he can be somewhat honest and less standoffish ]

I had a minor run-in with Russia.

[brbmodernizing]

[Have a worried look, sir]

Russia-san did?! ... A-ah, why? How?

[mygodmyright]

[ sob notifs ]

I ran into him in the hall, and he got lucky. That's it, really.

[ and muttered in a lower voice ]

He'll get his comeuppance soon.

[brbmodernizing]

[IM me if you want to tag I'm so bored jgkldfjkg]

. . .

I suppose he does not take warnings seriously. ..I want to avoid conflict, but if Russia-san is just going to keep this up, I cannot help but feel we should do something to stop him.

[mygodmyright]

[ s-sob I SHOULD... BE WORKING... ]

You're still at war with him, aren't you? I didn't want to cause any unnecessary conflict, but if he's threatening others--

[brbmodernizing]

[OH. WELL. /PUNTS]

I am.

...

If he is threatening and harming others, we are justified to take action. Don't you believe so as well?

[mygodmyright]

[ s-sob I AM HARD AT WORK ]

... what could we do about him?
