[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 screen.]


... Bonsoir, Fortuna.

[He removes the cigarette from his mouth and sighs through the edifice into the open air. The smoke curls 'round. He is so dramatic you can practically hear the music playing.

No really. Where is that very very soft music coming from?

You'll never know.]


It has come to my attention that I, the nation of romance, have not tended to my duties properly. What are those, you ask?

[HE FACES THE CAMERA AT LAST. There is a confident smile on his lips.]

We are fighting to survive, I know this. But... Even so! [a wave of his hand] The human instinct--ah, even the instinct of life itself!--is not only to survive but to live well. It is my duty, my desire and obligation, to assist not only my citizens but anyone who wishes it, in this endeavor.

Je suis--Ah, I am France, and whatever you need--be it advice, friendly company, the best cooking on the planet, or just someone handsome to look at, I am at your disposal.

Not to do this--Non! It is unacceptable. [He snaps his fingers--

--he's holding a rose in bloom in addition to that cigarette. France's sleeves are rolled up look he can be mysterious too. He brings it to his face and breathes in the scent with a happy sigh.]


The brother of Europe--[his other hand waves at himself, indicating who he's talking about]--of the world--he is here for you.

[With a wave, the feed cuts off. Shortly after, a text translation is posted, word for word so everyone can read it.]

Non! An orgy in Versailles is too extravagant. This? This is nothing at all.

Any advice! Relationship advice, advice on philosophy, art, ehh I suppose military advice if someone is that bored, architectural advice...

I have a long history. Each night I slept, I would wake at the point I stopped dreaming.

Mon Dieu, I hate having to ration my cigarettes!

It certainly is! At the risk of being rude, what sort of person are you? With wings like that and ah, an aversion to the sun.

Sounds a little exciting actually, but not something I'd want to do myself.

I got another pack if you want? It was mostly for an excuse to calm nerves, but that hasn't been necessary with Japan.

[ But. Sparring is the best, no matter what. ]

I assumed you were being dishonest, since I don't trust your word very much so far. Also, we are not friends.

[text] I... just... ohankrg

You've made just as many. It's more of a deduction, really.

I don't need to live with you if I don't wish to.

Trust me I have never slept better until I was not dreaming after that.

I will take you up on that offer! I am glad for you, that he is back with his memories of this place.

Understood.

[Grins.] Hah. I don't know what I'd do if he didn't remember. I promised to stick by him even then, but if it came down to it, I don't think I could do much more than try to start over, eh? All right, I'll bring the pack over.

[text] he's so very... fabulous

[ If he could stare you down through text, France, he would. Just feel the aura. ]

And yet you seem desperate for companionship.

[Another ten of her own. She's typed and deleted this so many times]

I don't care.
It can't be changed.
Please, at least do not tell Marianne.
I don't need her gloating.
Nor Rosemary's.
...That's all I ask.

[Her reply does come, half an hour later]

If I say thank you will you leave me alone?
