[So the lake. No one seemed to know much about it. Japan was getting tired of life without his usual dose of fish caked in salt. That last request for the fishing rods went through rather quickly. He received just a couple-- not in great condition, but working. They even have lures and maybe a little bit of bait. Sorry everyone else who he told he' ( Read more... )

[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 ( Read more... )

[Japan has picked up the communicator to speak. But he freezes. He freezes for a good thirty minutes, flipping the device over in his hands occasionally. It's only a matter of time before the audio is flipped on. The first words are soft, whispered in Japanese.]

Two lonely centuries.. and what was it that I was dreaming of? Illusions.. [He stops ( Read more... )

[There's some ruffling of what sounds like sheets, or maybe a certain blanket before Japan realizes that it has started recording.]

Ah. Inhabitants of Discedo. I regret to inform you that I, the Empire of Greater Japan, will be busy for quite a while. I request that if you have anything to say to me, you do so over the network. Private messages can ( Read more... )

[The camera turns on as the device falls over a little, giving a rather interesting view of Japan, huddled in the corner of the room, papers all around him. Not just any papers-- art. They were drawn on. Filled with pictures.

Many strange pairings are scattered about in the pile. (Those are innocent, by the way. His drawings. Are not.) Not just ( Read more... )

...Did it just get rather loud? Ah... I have a strange feeling about this..

[So Japan kind of almost killed himself during that whole ghost thing. And he had already bandaged the wounds and stuff, but China would not leave it at that. No. China would never. leave it. at that. Japan didn't realize that the communicator slid off the bed and onto the floor as he fell into a sitting position on the bed.]

China-san, you don't ( Read more... )

[Action if any of Japan's family wants to be in the room at this very moment. He's currently off on his own, and I assume this takes place after threading with China and noticing all the furniture in the freaking room is rearranged. This can be next day. Writing scenes like this is difficult.

At the first few signs of the creepy voices in his head ( Read more... )

[The camera clicks on, and there's a very focused Japan before he realizes the light has flashed on and bows his head a little. He's sitting in his room, hands now on his lap politely.]

Um, is this working? It seems to be...

Hello, everyone. Oh, um, I am the country of Japan, for those who have not met me. ..I hope I am not troubling anyone.. but it ( Read more... )

[The audio clicks on first, and there are some clicking noises and faint whisperings in Japanese as the man tries to get the device to work. Video turns on next, revealing the smaller Asian man as he stares down at the device with intense focus. He continues to speak in Japanese, apparently to himself.]

What is this? I've never seen anything ( Read more... )
