[ Video ]

[The video comes on to show... well. It’s hard to see just yet with how Japan keeps shifting. But he eventually straightens himself and angles the communicator towards himself and Netherlands, who are squashed together awkwardly on a couch, Netherlands obviously attempting to stay perfectly still as he smokes. Japan gives Netherlands a certain sort of look (probably meaning to express “It’s on!”) before addressing the camera again.]

Ah, hello to those who are seeing this. I am Japan. [He even gives a little bow of his head to the camera before looking to Holland with clear expectation.]

[Netherlands, for his part, barely inclines his head - that’s all he’s willing to do at the moment.]

...Hm. [Japan seems to realize this with a sort of troubled face and just faces the camera again.] And this is Holland-san.

[Netherlands abruptly straightens up at that, throwing over a flustered glance as he huffs.]

Introductions are only polite... [Another look from Japan, this one almost scolding.]

[A low mumble that’s lost to anyone other than Japan, and he relents.] Yeah. I’m the Netherlands. [That’s really all he wants to say.]

Ah, so, forgive me if this message is rather unorganized, as we are still doing our best to find a way to deal with such a thing, but it seems that this sort of situation is--

We wanna know what the hell is goin’ on, here.

[Japan visibly stiffens at that, whirling his head to stare at Holland. How blunt... He’s obviously a bit... offended.]

[Netherlands shoots him a small look out of the corner of his eye - what?]

I suppose if it must be put in such a way... [He glances away from Holland with an exaggerated sigh.] Yes, we would like to know such a thing.

An’ if there are ashtrays here.

...Thank you in advance. [Japan’s looking just plain flustered by now, but he shuts off the feed to end that.]

[Even though Japan's voice is quiet, he's startled out of his thoughts and jumps a little, snapping his head over. And drops his cigarette in his lap while doing so. His lit cigarette.]

It -

[Then he realizes there are burning embers in his lap. Cue his cursing, snatching it up, brushing off his trousers, cursing some more...]

[He huffs and pinches it out, it was almost done anyway.]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[It comes out low and grumpy as he leans back a bit to poke around at his trouser leg, checking to see if there's a hole in it or something.]

I got your text, too...

[Somehow it mutates to a very thoughtful poking around, with him more picking at the fabric seams than anything.]

[He doesn't find any holes, so he starts picking at his nails. And then chewing on them. And then thinking maybe he should just go for the third straight cigarette, but that's really damn wasteful.]

I forgot y'liked those - little face things.

[He's just staring off at the far wall, chewing on his nails, so he misses that.]

I guess.

[Yes.]

[That snaps him out of it somewhat, and while he's expecting an emote... that takes him a few moments of confused staring to figure out.]

What's on its face.

[That tiny star has him sidetracked.]

I...guess. [Needs more rabbit ears, Japan.]

Mm.

[He bites his lip, frowns, and types out his own.]

Like this? :)

[He is not looking. Not looking at all. Instead he leans forward and goes through his belongings, bringing out his tin of hair wax and frowning at it. His hair must look like shit right now (spoilers: it kind of does).]

[Then he glances at the text and frowns.]

Maybe. I don't know many of 'em.

[He's slowly turning the tin over and over in one hand, looking around the room.]

Y'don't think there's a mirror somewhere, do ya.

[He could just fix it without, the important part is that it's out of his face.]
handelaar: (hair down: oh)

[He stands up and rolls a shoulder, ready to go.]

Might as well check 'em.

Mm, maybe not.

[He'll still worry though. A quick look down to Japan, and then another around the room - he should know this.]

That way...

[He's...pretty sure. Which is unsettling, usually he's better at this. Either way he starts off in what is actually the right direction.]

[He pauses at the entrance to the hallway and lets out a sigh, glad he got it right.]

I don't like this place.

[That's all he says to imply that he feels uneasy about not knowing where he's going when it should be pretty damn straightforward.]
handelaar: (and what's it to me)

Maybe the person in charge knows. If someone's in charge.

[He keeps going, intent on entering whichever of their rooms they find first.]
