[politerudeness]

[ so the day after the whole Valentine's day event ended for real, Japan got droned! And then, almost ten days later, on the 26th, Japan wakes up to the realization that he had fake memories of an affair with a certain someone implanted into his mind and that he and that someone- ohgodohgodohgodohmygod  he better fix this mess and fucking now. ]

[Watching you from a tree branch, dressed in one of her regained kimonos.]

[politerudeness]

A-aaaah... [ doesn't take notice of you and, thinking he's alone, he collapses on the grass and takes a deep breath ] P-perhaps that was a little too much... aah, is that my blood pressure rising again? I must've forgotten about my age in my excitement...

[miss_enma_ai]

[Ai will just remain being a creeper. She's watching you curiously now though.]

[politerudeness]

[ after several moments of silence, he gets up on his feet. then, a pause, and he begins to look around, seemingly searching for something with his eyes. ]

... Hmm...

[fuckyeahsealand]

[Wandering right into the backyard to see what's going on. What do you mean he shouldn't go into backyards that aren't his?]

[politerudeness]

[ d-don't mind him as he just keeps on practicing, too focused too really take notice- though something about the way he does it seems a bit tired, and he's just taking deep breaths instead of yelling like some shounen anime main character. ]

[fuckyeahsealand]

[He was kind of hoping for more dramatic shounen yelling. Oh well, he'll sit down on the grass and make himself comfortable watching as if this were a TV show.]

[politerudeness]

[ at some point Japan gets exhausted and silently drops to his knees, breathing heavily. ]

... T-this... may be enough... f-for today...

[perfektsymmetry]

[Howdy, neighbor! Crowe's heading home when he sees this display. He stops to watch, genuinely interested since he found out that his friends were keeping practice swords here, and he wished to learn how to use them.]

[politerudeness]

[ after that very very loud little show, Japan seems to be a bit more tired than earlier- though he doesn't stop practicing and his next swing is just as full of force and excitement. ]

Haaaaaaaah...! I will absolutely and certainly not lose!

[perfektsymmetry]

[After Japan's done, Crowe will clap. Good show!]

[politerudeness]

Eeeh? [ looks around for the source of that clap ] ...Am I hearing things?

[swordline]

[Shichika just overheard the yelling, believing that something interesting was happening in this backyard. Sword users, even here!

...what in the world was he doing?]

They can't really hear you, you know.

[politerudeness]

Eh?! [ sakjndsjkn that voice came out of nowhere... he topples back and falls down on the grass. ]

A-ah... I am quite certain I just heard someone speak to me... or am I beginning to receive hallucinations? Could it me that my old age is getting this far?

[swordline]

[That was odd-- he doesn't look that old. Maybe he's just confused.]

No, you heard someone. Right here. [He holds up a hand.]

[politerudeness]

Ah- [ stands up, a bit shakily. ] Greetings... u-um, please forgive that moment. I was slightly startled.

[grand_theft_moe]

Oniichan!

[Chizuko is staring out her window at you. You're no longer droned!]

[politerudeness]

Chizuko-san! [ puts down the sword and seems to completley forget about his training ] Good afternoon- ah, did something happen? A-are you feeling well?

[grand_theft_moe]

[She hurries downstairs and out into the backyard]

I was about to ask you the same thing. You were a drone. Everyone was worried.

1/2

[politerudeness]

Worried- everyone was, for my sake...? [ looks just a little surprised at the concept- ]
