If I had the materials to produce wine, I would do so immediately.
[private to ALL THE NATIONS (except Germany):]
I want no part in any conflicts here. There is too much at stake. I understand our histories and the differing timelines that add further complications, but as they say, there are bigger fish to fry.
We don't have to work together. In fact, the idea is a little appalling, though I would not be opposed to it. But let us at least try not to leap straight into war.
Let us build our respective areas and watch over our citizens, if we have any on this planet.

[private to ROSEMARY:]
I am in the hospital. If you would like to speak with me in person, that is fine.
[private to ARTHUR:]
Shut up.
I have something to tell you. Will you visit me here in the hospital or are you still glued to Amerique? Either way I will discuss it, whether in person or on the phone, but in person is preferable. That way I can reintroduce your face to my glorious fist if need be.
What will it be, Rosbif?

[OOC NOTE: TAKING A NAP. WILL BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS HOPEFULLY UNLESS I JUST PASS OUT ALTOGETHER.
OOC NOTEX2 COMBO: He's in the DISCEDO HOSPITAL just sulking so if you want to visit, you can!! Doesn't matter if you're a nation or not, he likes company! :) ]

Date: 2011-09-04 01:39 am (UTC)I wasn't aware so many people cared.

Date: 2011-09-04 02:19 am (UTC)[Quiet snort.] Of course we care, you're a friend.

Date: 2011-09-08 08:16 pm (UTC)With a few exceptions, that is! Amerique and Mattie, they are very unique by our standards. They are still so young, and have had older nations looking after them.

Date: 2011-09-08 08:30 pm (UTC)How much do you know of Japan's days when he only let Holland visit? Before America wanted to go find whales.
Before my Pops I was like that. Perhaps... a lot more so. I distrusted all humans, and the world considered me a monster. In those days I thought I was just a bird. The way I am now is because my Pops showed me a better way to live. Don't misunderstand, I'm still the same person who thought being a phoenix meant never bothering with humans, but Thatch gave me reasons to do better than that. Having friends doesn't make them my nakama. My nakama are like your people are for you. It's not a perfect match, but it's a lot more similar than you think.

Date: 2011-09-08 09:01 pm (UTC)Is there something specifically weighing on your mind Francis?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 09:45 pm (UTC)If there wasn't a day that something didn't weigh on my mind, I think that would be the day to start worrying.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 09:55 pm (UTC)Ah, just a sort of general melancholy then?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 10:12 pm (UTC)... Not really! You can be aware of how shitty life is and still be happy. Spring always follows winter, when the world thaws and one can breathe the air without the lungs being seared by drifting snow.
We try not to think on the past, but then we forget. The humans forget because their lives are so short by comparison, and we are tied to them; so we change, and even if we remember again, history will always repeat itself.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 10:49 pm (UTC)And just because winters are rough doesn't always make them bad. Sometimes they're really quite enjoyable for what they are. [This is from a bird made of fire, so you know; take that into consideration.]

Date: 2011-09-08 10:53 pm (UTC)There are ways to break patterns and they are called revolutions. But even those belong in the grand scheme of humanity's history. I have learned to bask in the glow of the good where I can get it in times of peace and war. Life should be lived! Even if it is just an ongoing cycle.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 11:06 pm (UTC)[Grins and nods.] Exactly. Granted, I'll leave the world's rebellions to Dragon and the like, but the world keeps turning, it's not always a bad thing.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 11:09 pm (UTC)Ah, but the humans, they get half of it wrong and leave out so much detail.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 11:19 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 11:24 pm (UTC)What I mean, however, is that they are not aware that we exist as flesh and blood, for the most part. There is so much more.
My hair normally covered it so I will show this to you now, only because I consider you a friend and because it will spare us the awkward questions later.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-08 11:36 pm (UTC)How did you get that?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-16 04:01 pm (UTC)But, unfortunately, as great a cause as this was, to rid oneself of poison one must endure a great deal of pain as it drains away. Over sixty thousand were executed in the name of liberty.
Ah, I'm making it sound so depressing! We survived and I eventually became a better place for my citizens. I'm proud of them, for what they have endured. The cost was high, but the feat in Europe unprecedented. Amerique, he inspired much of the change. I helped him gain independence from Angleterre and in the end it was-- it was certainly worth it.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-16 07:49 pm (UTC)I suppose so long as it was worth it, eh? Your own people remember it differently though?

Date: 2011-09-17 05:37 pm (UTC)I'm not a fan of mass executions if they are unjust.
But--it comes with so much pride too! It isn't every day that your citizens try to tear at a fortress with their bare hands and succeed.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-17 05:44 pm (UTC)That things got that way... [Shakes his head.] Francois, you shouldn't regret the unavoidable past. Just learn from it so you know better what to do for the future. Mass executions, rebellions, if those bother you so much, do what you can to prevent them from happening.
