crotchroses: (☩ guillotine)
[England's fist has just crashed into France's face. The Frenchman lies on his back, dressed in something out of the late 1700's. His ornate collar is distinctly drenched in blood, but not from this fight.

His hands flash out and grip England's wrists and--something is so strange to him, strange enough that he doesn't retaliate--until his ire flashes abruptly after the pause, unforgiving; he clenches England's wrists harshly and uses the other man's weight against him, flinging him off to the side without letting go in order to bring him crashing against the ground.]


Bloody fucking Christ--! [England hits the ground hard, the hesitation of shock giving France enough opportunity to seize his pistol and strike England repeatedly with it, heavy blows crashing the wood and metal into the Englishman's face that is easily covered in blood under the onslaught of France's anger. England's knee shoots up, attempting to land a blow between France's legs, he's swearing and thrashing, spitting blood violently.]

--Goddammit Francis! Piss-drinking filthy bastard--

[Despite England's blows landing, France's fury is undeterred. He scrambles to his feet and swings his heavy boot with a crushing force to England's side. Despite his bleeding foot, gushing and bruised face, England claws at the ground again and begins to scrape to his feet with a snarl.]

[France spins and kicks him back again, only to stomp down and grind his heel into one of England's hands with a sickening crunch of the bones in England's hand and fingers.

The other nation convulses in pain and he screams.]


Now what do you say to the fires of revolution? Are they so inconsequential now, Angleterre?

--!
[While England rolls to cough and spit blood, France finally notices that his little device seems to be glowing. He crosses to it and kneels down, easily turning his back to England, who is struggling to rise to his feet.

His neck, as mentioned, is coated in blood, soaking through his thick and ornate layers and the bandages that wrap around up to his chin. England's blood, however, has been splattered across France's face.]


Oh. Has this box shown this to everyone? My sincerest apologies. I will, what is the phrase... I will shut it off immediately.

[But not before, when England is finally on his feet, France smiles handsomely at the communicator before he glances back, aims his pistol, and fires; England falls with an anguished shout, clutching his shoulder, and the feed ends.]

[ooc note: LAST REAL EVENT POST. Apologizing so hard for slow/late tags, I was informed I need surgery in Nov and then got a nasty cold--in any case, will be backtagging so feel free to hit the others up as you will!

OPTION A: Having France answer still during his event, technically--so it will be France during the year 1794. He's a bit unhinged uh-- ICly this will be a few hours after.

OPTION B: France will answer the next morning, back to normal. Pick which one you'd like.

Action is only available for those in Latimir! If you're so inclined.]

[Who likes pirate hats? Big fancy hats? Hats with feathers?

Or swords. Who likes those?

You won't be disappointed.

A handsome older teenager with hair past his shoulders loosely tied back, dressed in a grand coat with very wide sleeves, a tunic, white stockings and short stocky leather boots. You can bet your ass there is plate armor and leather underneath the finery. There is a hungry look of triumph on the man's face as he whirls his longsword, the ornate handle and polished blade flashing across the feed.

It isn't simple fencing footwork France displays but practical, vicious swings of that heavy sword one would use in battle. Every movement, every step is fluid, impossibly fast; showy, but incredibly precise. It's passionate, and yet somehow very, very cold.

Within the blink of an eye that sword has been sheathed. France's eyes are almost maniacal despite the fact that his smile is eerily inviting. He seems full of energy--excited.

But he's also pale.]


Victoire pour le royaume de France!

[He reaches to the communicator, switching to text.]

Hello Fortuna. I have returned, I see. It has been so, so long since I last visited. I am whole again at home! Whole at last, with my kingdom reaching across the continents in this glorious new century.

I mean no offense, but I hope to return home again soon. I cannot afford to be away.

Autriche! Angleterre! May I speak with each of you?


[ooc: 1550's. He remembers being here as Gaul, among a few other things. Of interest to Austria, Romano/Romana and England is this.]

[Tap tap.

Tap tap.


Very, very young eyes peeking out from rather pretty gold hair are inspecting this foreign object. He has no inclination that it's recording. The only thing that can record something in his time is a hand, a stylus and paper; or alternatively, a chisel on stone.

He leans back looking quite skeptical. This young boy is unamused, but ever so curious.]


Quid hōc est? Eh... [His lip sticks out and he backs away, dressed in the clothes as pictured in that lovely icon. He brandishes a knife, inspecting it, having temporarily lost interest in the strange lit device.] Lupa! Qui vir odiosus!

[THIS KNIFE WILL HAVE TO DO. But, next door, a THUMP can be heard. The child turns and even over the communicator one can easily hear a very British:]

--Oh bugger! Where's he gone to?

[Gaul's face splits into a childish, highly amused grin and he laughs quietly.] Hehe! [His expression turns playfully vicious and he fixes the knife at his belt--it's apparent now that he's in a kitchen, and he's looking for another knife.]

Flamma fumo est proxima, eh? [Temporarily satisfied, he crosses back to the communicator and peers into it. Something about it... it seems familiar. Clearly it's some kind of magic, but he taps on it again. He remembers like a dream--"use this"--

And-- Something else...

Something strange...]


... Salvē? Quis tu... ? Non... non intellego...

Francis! [A huff, the sharp shutting of a door, and approaching footsteps distract him enough to--well, they startle him, and he grabs the communicator, shutting it off immediately.]

[ooc: Regular text is ... Gaul, green is Rosemary/England.

Just as a note, I don't know Latin whatsoever, so I apologize to anyone who does know it. For characters who ICly know Latin, I'll provide the rough translation of what he's saying:

"What is this?" "Whore (she-wolf). This is boring." "There is no smoke without fire."

"Hello?" "Who are you?" "I don't understand."

Basically he does have his memories from Discedo, but of course they're more like dreams to him. Don't know Latin? Feel free to text him, the magic device that can send words will be an endless curiosity and of course text always translates. Expect typos and odd swearing. For the characters who can speak Latin, I'm just going to conduct it as "Latin" in the comment title (unless it's action of course) so I don't have to write it out or drag a scholar to translate everything for me accurately. LOL

ACTION IN DISCEDO IS GO! He will be wandering around/outside this apartment complex with a few knives but he is for the most part a nice child...]
