[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.]

[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.

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

--indisposed.

I am feeling wonderful!

From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
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.

Angleterre's sister--Some of her cooking was mixed in with mine and-- I was sick.

So.

This health, it's wonderful.

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

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

From: [identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com
Oh, between nations? Eh, I think any form of Angleterre would have awful food. It is a universal staple!

Wait! Wait, you are-- You are in 2011, oui? Please tell me you are for certain, and which month!

Date: 2011-12-06 12:25 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
Ah... yes. November. Though I suppose it would be December by now... The month matches with the calendar of this place.

Oh! Oh! Ah-- I-- I have not seen home since July.

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

Date: 2011-12-06 12:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
Ah... what a grim question... But France-san is alive, of course.

Date: 2011-12-06 12:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com
Ah, merci! Merci Japon, mon ami!

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?

[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...

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

[Aw France. A soft smile.]

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

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

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

From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
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.

Magnifique! That's what I like to hear! And I will fight on alongside, oui?

[He tries. Or something. Not really.]

Of course. France-san is someone who understands the true power of 2D, after all!

We are in agreement on this!

...

When you were here before, you drew certain things for me.

I would like to make another request, so perhaps we could have, eh... an artist's trade!

Date: 2011-12-11 05:47 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
[He settles into a focused sort of expression. Oh, business?]

Yes, I recall. A trade? What is France-san interested in this time?

Date: 2011-12-15 10:25 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com
Nothing explicit.

I would like a portrait of the madame Angleterre.

Date: 2011-12-15 06:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] asideglance.livejournal.com
Of England-chan? [Pause.] A formal portrait?
