[Some time around the evening of the 30th, there is a broadcast.

A very French broadcast. Because France is in it. You can't beat that, okay.The lighting is dramatic and France himself seems to be sitting in a chair, leaned back against the sill of a window and the wall, so he's essentially in front of the window with his feet propped up off

[UNSURE.......... Okay no but he is staring so much. Ah, he can't forget the days where he tried to mimic this...]

...France-san seems to be feeling well.

[crotchroses]

[Oh cute it's Japan DIDN'T HE LEAVE...]

Japon, you're back! Ah, I would have greeted you sooner but I have been--

--indisposed.

I am feeling wonderful!

[asideglance]

I-indisposed...?

[Well he will just not question that AHEM MOVING ON]

Ah, it is quite alright. I am glad that France-san is feeling so well.

[crotchroses]

[It's okay he'll go ahead and offer an unsolicited explanation.]

Angleterre's sister--Some of her cooking was mixed in with mine and-- I was sick. [He looks away from the camera, sounding traumatized, looking green.]

So.

This health, it's wonderful.

[asideglance]

I-I believe I understand immediately now. [Stares...sympathetically.]

So that sort of thing is shared... Ah...

[crotchroses]

Oh, between nations? Eh, I think any form of Angleterre would have awful food. It is a universal staple!

[WAIT HE PAUSES DRAMATICALLY--] Wait! Wait, you are-- You are in 2011, oui? Please tell me you are for certain, and which month!

[asideglance]

Ah... yes. November. Though I suppose it would be December by now... The month matches with the calendar of this place.

[crotchroses]

Oh! Oh! Ah-- [France is both excited and apparently nervous. He bites his lip and shrugs.] I-- I have not seen home since July.

Am I still alive? I mean, of course I would be! But I must ask regardless.

[asideglance]

Ah... what a grim question... But France-san is alive, of course.

[crotchroses]

Ah, merci! Merci Japon, mon ami! [France, satisfied (for the moment) kisses the communicator.]

That is all I wanted to know.

Really. Don't tell me anything else, the rest is too depressing.

But, if I may ask, how are things for you?

[asideglance]

[Sort of weirded out by the kiss thing, but what else is new. He considers that question though and just sideglances.]

They are fine, considering all things...

[crotchroses]

How can you say something so mysterious after I asked not to be told anything?! Now I'll have to sit and wonder!

[asideglance]

[Aw France. A soft smile.]

Ah, I would not wish to worry France-san. I look healthy enough, don't I?

[crotchroses]

[have a very concerned expression]

Don't be silly. I know it has been a rough year.

1/2

[asideglance]

[France you're a bro. Japan pauses just a moment]

[asideglance]

Perhaps so, but as a true Japanese man I am fighting on with all of my spirit! Ah, my stamina points have not run out just yet! I will surely only level up from my latest experiences.
