[Video] Imperialism begins in the home kids, remember this

[tenthousandyears]

[The video turns on to a small Japanese woman in formal military dress. Very formal. Are those epaulettes? Who even wears those anymore? Well regardless of her fashion sense, she will give the screen a small, very shallow bow of her head. There is a very serious air of business here. If you are expecting a forthcoming announcement of a death the mood would not be indicative of you being wrong.]

Good day! It is a pleasure to meet all of you, surely. You may call me the Empire of Greater Japan. I feel it should be announced that as of today the forward kitchen of deck 251 is now its own autonomous state under the protection of the Japanese empire.

Food will of course still be served, your basic rights will be observed. But in return I ask you observe the rules clearly posted on the far wall of the kitchen. As well as the simple stocking directions located on the inside of each cabinet door to maximize cabinet space and present a system of order. If these can't be maintained I am... afraid you will not be allowed within the territory of Dai-koku.

Other basic rules include no destruction of property, theft, murder or public indecency. Thank you!

Russia-san, I know you're on this vessel. Please know any aggressions against these borders will be taken as a declaration of war! ...So. Um. Please maintain your manners! ...Your better manners.

[There is a pause where she looks rather uncertain.]

Ah... And if there are any who would wish a meal who would rather not cook themselves or cannot. ...Whatever your dietary needs. Please inform me and I will see to it you receive the proper nutrition in an... appetizing fashion.

Thank you for your time!

[Another bow, this one more flustered than her opening one and the communication ends.]

[He almost considers using text, but he feels as if that would say things he doesn't want it to. So he'll take care of his gosh this is really happening thoughts before replying with video.]

Ahh... I do not believe this sort of thing is truly necessary.

[ video ]

[tenthousandyears]

Please Kiku-kun. These matters are standard in the affairs of nations. There should be no issues from this, so please leave it in my hands!

[ video ]

[fourseasons]

As the State of Japan, I believe this falls into something that would certainly cause issue.

[A pause so to try and carefully word his next sentence.]

While I am sure Japan-san means no harm by this, I believe this sort of motion could mean conflict for not only herself, but me as well. Seeing as we are both "Japan"...

[herocomplex]

_{[ blah blah blah he didn't listen to any of that.
Unfortunately, he cannot really distinguish the difference between you two. ]}

Hey Japan, man! How you settling in now, dude?

Russia doesn't know what manners are because he's a dickwad.

_{[ horrible.... ]}

[tenthousandyears]

[O-oh... who is this... So friendly... NO. MUST REMAIN FOCUSED.]

...Do we know one another?

[herocomplex]

Sure do! We're buds, man! Don't tell me you're still disoriented from the jump.

Right, so, you might ought to explain to me why you seem extra feminine today. Are you on a new diet?

[handelaar]

[So uh.

He stares at the screen for a moment. And keeps staring at the screen after the video turns off. The fuck did he just see?



Two minutes and one lit cigarette later finds him tearing his way to the kitchen she mentioned to see for himself.]

[So yeah, have an exceedingly stern-looking Netherlands staring her down over his cigarette.]

action

[tenthousandyears]

[Staring... back. She doesn't understand. But she will grab some alcohol and pour him a glass before offering it. It seems only the kind thing to do.]

action

[handelaar]

[It's...the best thing to do. She gets brownie points already.

He awkwardly takes his cigarette out of his mouth, mumbles a thanks, and takes the glass.



Still.

Staring.




What is this.]

I'm sorry,
did you say you conquered the kitchen...?|

text;

[tenthousandyears]

No. It has simply been granted its independence.

[laufeysons]

From what overlord?

[video]

[lookingsharp]

It's a kitchen on a ship that doesn't belong to you.

[video]

[tenthousandyears]

Surely this is not a reason to ignore such a basic thing as the rights of all persons to be ruled by their own kind. I believe standing by and allowing such an evil is an even crueler evil.

[She is so righteous. How many autonomous countries did you set up today Sora!!]

[video]

[lookingsharp]

Well, I think we should make up rules and have everyone agree with them. It's only fair.

[Sora is only responsible for China and that is all Mushu's fault.]

[france]

[ sorry Japan, but your message became completely irrelevant after you revealed who you were. ]

[ Japan. ]

[ This is Japan. ]

[ Japan with tits and a cute smile. ]

[ CREEPER MODE: ACTIVATE ]

Aaaa my beautiful, my dear, my sweet! I have never seen you in a more lovely form, I am captured by your beauty, a prisoner to your whims!

[tenthousandyears]

[Red. Red everywhere. THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR HER FRANCE]

A-ah!! D-do you surely think so...

[Be still her heart...!!! ...Wait who is this? Too busy blushing to ask uwah...]

so sorry about the late tag...

[france]

Ah, of course I think so! I know so! I would worship you, I would cook for you everyday, I would wait on you hand and foot, you are so beautiful!

[ yep just wait until she finds out who it is ]

Aaah, it is a shame that the Japon I know cannot be this beautiful! You are a beautiful oasis in a desert of ugliness!

[bottlearum]

And what of the rum?

[PRIORITIES. He has them.]

[video]

[tenthousandyears]

[Oh, well. This is sudden... She holds up a bottle.]

[video]

[bottlearum]

[...He's never been in love with someone more than he has right now. At the moment. Have all of his love. ALL OF IT.]

[There are stars in his eyes.]

The kitchens, aye?

[HE'S ON HIS WAY.]

video

[edle_gestalt]

[...Wait a minute.]

Japan...? I... thought you were male...

...Does this mean there are multiple versions of our world, then? Up until now I'd gathered that our world was the only one in which ... well, in which we existed in the first place. No one else has heard of countries having human incarnations. But... oh this is fascinating.

[The most quizzical of looks!]

1/2 video

[tenthousandyears]

Not more...! Surely this cannot be handled by anyone!!

[What is she, a fish on display? ...But oh... that was too blunt wasn't it.]

2/2! video

[tenthousandyears]

...Ah... I mean... Yes. So it... appears. Surely. My apologies. It is... Austria-san?

[Or in some bizarre-o world fashion this is Hungary. In which case she is deeply worried.]

video

[edle_gestalt]

[Bit of a smile. He's not offended; bluntness is an everyday occurrence for him, and that's not even insulting.] You would be correct. How are you adjusting so far? It's quite unnerving to be here, that's for sure.
