♕ deux; [video (French)/text (translated)]

I am quite bored here, with so little to do. Perhaps, should anyone in Spero desire friendly company, I could be of service? Nothing with the strings attached, as they say; perhaps a talk on the roof of a building in the starlight or a meeting over lunch or dinner.

--Despite how terrible the food is here, anyway. It is just a little better than starvation... [Something in his tone says he's not sure how sincere that statement is.]

Oh! Speaking of disgusting food, I have a story to tell you. It features a then small nation by the name of Angleterre. You would know him as Arthur Kirkland! Or that irritable Englishman with the caterpillars above his eyes.

Anyway, this little one was uncouth, unwashed and uncultured. Such a small angry thing! But he secretly desired that he could be as cultured as... me! It took months, but he grew out his mangy hair.

It looked something like here.



[Not an IC cut. He's holding up a wad of fur. Don't ask him where he got it.] It looked like that, except it obscured his features and he looked wild!

I came to visit him and in my graciousness, returned his hair to the way it suits him; the way it is today! He could have chosen something much better, I assure you my sense of style is not limited to that kind of mop. But it is the one he wanted, and he has kept it ever since!

[Like the jerk he is, he repeats this ENTIRE MESSAGE in TEXT so everyone can read it.]

I guess I would have liked to meet Rome then, eh?

Aye. My family will fight on. It's what Pops and Thatch would want, and I'm not about to disappoint them.

Besides, Ace's little brother... he made sure to protect him, and all through the fight, Luffy was my first priority. I want to stick around long enough to see whether he makes it to Pirate King.

Family is all one has, even if they might fight all the time.

Aye. I wonder if Japan will ever see it that way.

... Ah, that...

It is... different with the nations.

So I always hear.

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
That is the explanation always given to you, I see. We do not talk of these things often, if at all. It's better to accept them.
fierybluebird: (thinking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-08-14 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow this is actually starting to make me wonder if addressing such things wouldn't be better after all.

[BUT PLEASE. Marco face the truth and admit it to the world instead of lie and cover for his friends? NEVER.]

Nonsense! You wouldn't have brought it up if it did not matter to you. Perhaps you have not asked the right nation, or the right questions, eh?

It is better not to ask with a specific example. We are so diverse, and our histories long and detailed.

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2011-08-14 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Aye. [Waves a hand.] Pay it no attention, just musing out loud I suppose.

[identity profile] crotchroses.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Non, you cannot get away that easily. Something is bothering you concerning Japon, am I correct?

Bothering is too strong of a word.

So that is a 'oui.' Is this concerning him and Chine?

[Now he just getting into stubborn mode. Something Japan is probably quite familiar with.]

It's nothing Francois. [Coolly arches an eyebrow.]

So you will not mind if I bring this issue to Kiku!
fierybluebird: (Keep talking)

Go ahead. He already knows.

[Shifts jaw.]

Make no mistake, I'll protect Japan against anyone or anything. Brother, ally, or nakama.

[That... doesn't explain it though.]

Eh.

If you cannot tell me what this is about, I cannot help you, ami.

It's not something that can be helped, eh?

Denmark once explained that centuries of infighting later, his and Sweden's royal families married and had kids, and that was the only common ground they could find to try to get past it. So it is like that. I'm not so forgiving. For me, a betrayal is unforgivable, and yet... mistakes happen. [Thinking of Squardo and how to explain it to an outsider.] I've got a handle on it, but thank you Francois.

Mm. Danemark is right. A betrayal is a betrayal, but mistakes and misjudgments occur. There was a time when Angleterre and I would have gladly seen the other wiped from the face of the Earth, and yet...

... In the year Kiku resides, there was a great war across the entire world. That year, my armies protected the Allies against Allemagne's soldiers in a city of mine by the name of Dunkirk.

I kept Allemagne's forces away as best I could while hundreds of thousands of soldiers escaped to Angleterre's land across the sea. It was not long after this that Allemagne took my capital.

Eh, the rest is history, as they say.

How long ago was that for you?

Still relatively recent then, or would you disagree?
