[ 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.]

[He kind of grumbles to himself, something about New Amsterdam and bullheaded Englishmen who can't raise kids for shit, then sits back up when he's hit with an idea.]
When's he from?
video
When? Does something like that make that great of a difference?
video
Yeah. He was less annoyin' as a kid.
[Though just from that he's guessing that the America here isn't a kid.]

Guess not, if you're - [A troll, was it?] Uh, well. I've known him a few centuries, yeah.
video
Ah, that is not too terribly long.
[ considering some trolls live for... Uh. Thousands of years? ]
video
[A short nod.]
He's young.
[Some nations do too, he's well over a thousand at least.]
video
video
[A beat - ]
Y'take longer than humans to age, then.
video
At least with trolls, if you see that their gray iris has filled in with color, you know that they have reached adulthood. Now some live longer than others, but we reach the initial stage of adulthood at the same time.
video
Yeah? How old is that.
Re: video
[ a chuckle. even adult trolls act like grubs from time to time. ]
Hmm. Between eight and nine.
video
[Suddenly his attention snaps back.]
Y'seem like you're familiar with the place.
video
It is hard to say how long I have been here. Perhaps a little over thirty nights?
