♕ treize; [video; English/text translation]

[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.]

[What else could he possibly have meant~?] Wow France, that's so nice of you!

Isn't it? I cannot wait to help rebuild this world. You will help, oui? I cannot do this without assistance!

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be happy to help with anything I can!

You could collect supplies for the upcoming winter with me!

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-11 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay! How should we do that? What kind of things do you need?

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Medicine, food, blankets, clothing--Oh! And tools.

But mostly blankets. I am not fond of harsh winters.

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! So where should we start looking for these supplies?

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Gathering them can be dangerous so eh... Do not endanger yourself needlessly, mademoiselle. The cafe in Discedo however, I am using it to store supplies. Should you find anything you don't need, you could bring it there!

Well, I'll definitely do my best, Francis!

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, you are so sweet! Ah, and please be careful? Latimir 103, you should visit any time! I offer food and the company of myself, Grece and the others living with us.

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, you're living with Greece...? I'll definitely visit!

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oui! And one of my kings as well! His Majesty Louis XIV. He is young and very kind.

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I think I met him! ...is he really from that long ago...?

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
He is! Ah, it is so exciting to see him again--! But chere, there must be some who are close to your heart here as well, oui?

[identity profile] meilihua.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, a lot of the family is here... so there's that!

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is right! You are lucky to have so much of your family here, eh? Despite the conflict, family is family.

It's a little bit better here since we're not at home...You can almost forget those problems sometimes...
