[ video/action ] locked away from fempan

[fourseasons]

[The camera turns on to reveal Japan in what seems to be the oxygen gardens. A place he can enjoy, though his face does hold a bit of concern.]

Greetings, everyone. If we have yet to speak, I will repeat once more that I am the State of Japan. That is to say, there seems to be an issue in various cases of people sharing names, faces, or perhaps identities as a whole, but... [He shifts, realizing he's rambling a little too much.]

I suppose I am trying to say that there is someone here who goes by the name of the Empire of Japan. I would like to clarify that I am no longer an Empire, but as a true Japanese man I feel I must take responsibility for these sort of actions, even if they are no fault of mine. That is to say... I hope to stop such things as annexation of the kitchen before it spreads to other rooms.

...But I will admit I am at a loss of what to do. Ah, does anyone perhaps have advice for this sort of situation? It seems she considers me an enemy, and I must consider her the same if she continues to spread my name in such a way, but I do not wish for a war.

[A brisk sigh indicates he's glad he got that out.]

On a related note, I am curious as to how many others are dealing with a similar situation, and how they choose to go about this.

And lastly... Is anyone aware of how I can return to the passenger's quarters from here? It is a very nice area, but I seem to have found it on accident. [So. He's lost.] ...Thank you. [And the feed cuts off.]

oh, man...
there are two japans?
that must really suck for you and it must be kinda scary!
i mean, if there were two johns, we would probably have a really big sleepover.
what if there is another john?
wow.
this was a very deep videoything.
thank you, japan.

[fourseasons]

[That doesn't help at all... Although he finds John endearing in a strange way so he doesn't get mad.]

So it seems... one from the past, as well.
Ah, and she is a female.
I do not believe sleepovers would be considered either way, but it is quite a dilemma...

[zoosmell]

a girl past john?!
wow, she would be young and i would treat her like my younger sister.
and maybe we can watch ghost dad together if that is age appropriate.
anyway, i'm really sorry that sleepovers are out of the question...
i think that would really help your problems.

[scratched]

are you seriously fighting with yourself
dude come on that is totally the wrong option

[fourseasons]

It is not as if I want to...
She declared me as an enemy first. [/MATURE.]

What would you suggest?

[scratched]

first rule of cloning
dont fight your clone they know all your moves

i dunno this isnt you and your twinsie therapy hour with doctor strider
but if youre gonna annex shit go for the gunnery and get the tactical advantage
youve only got so much time dude shes got a hold of your food supply

OPEN UP YOU FILTHY SON OF A BITCH.
I'LL TEAR HIS DOOR DOWN IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE.

[fourseasons]

[OH JESUS HEART ATTACK FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR.]

[herocomplex]

_{[ THE SOUND OF A CHAINSAW REVVING UP HERE.
he's too eager to do something violent to stop and realize whose voice is behind the door.
or whose number this is to the room. ]}

YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY?
MAKING A JAPANESE GIRL CRY?

WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE, YOU WILL BE CRYING AND WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!!

Japan - that is, you - changed a lot between her time and yours, to the point where you almost are two different countries, with a shared heritage.
I would recommend attempting peace talks before delving into all-out battle. You share beneficial qualities as well; all-out battle is not needed.
As to your other question, I would start by heading down the hall to the east. [ If he's in the garden Rose thinks he's in. ]

[All I need is Jade and my collection will be complete.

I mean. FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING SENSE.]

Yes, completely.
I have attempted this a bit myself, but it is rather difficult when tensions are so high due to differences...

Ah, but is that so? I will try that way, then, thank you.

[godseer]

[ Homestuck humans squatting on the network jumping on new posts no what are you talking about. ]

The most worthy battles are the most difficult.
Going to war with your other self would be easy. This way is more difficult, not to mention more intellectually stimulating.
And it allows for fewer conquered kitchens.

video; i swear to god he isn't even trying to kiss ass here he's just emotional

[edle_gestalt]

[AUSTRIA IS MOVED. HE'S IN A REALLY AWKWARD TRANSITIONAL STAGE, HAVING JUST BECOME NEUTRAL AFTER SOME THINGS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MUCH. HE IS VERKLEMPT. inwardly.]

...That is very noble of you to defend your current values despite having fully embraced opposite values in the past. I hope that I may adjust to my own new government as bravely. [A pause.] It isn't as if I don't fully support and take comfort in the switch to neutrality. It's just that it's so new that I sometimes fear that I will have trouble finding things to take pride in that are not things of the past which I have lost completely. This has been most reassuring.

[The last he saw of Japan, he was just coming out of occupation as well. HE'S KIND OF CLINGING, in the most non-touchy-feely way. ...Oh, right.] I... actually don't believe we've spoken since you've arrived here. I can't say I am glad you've been roped into this mess, but it is good to see you.

video; hehe cute ;w;

[fourseasons]

Ah... Austria-san. That is quite kind of you to say.

[He pauses. The transition... Could he call it anything quick? No, he doesn't think so. Even now, the past is still there. He likes to talk like it's completely behind him, but there are so many ways it isn't.

But he accepts the compliment with a bow of his head.]

I am certain Austria-san will grow to do the same.

[edle_gestalt]

[He'll come to know that exact same feeling if he ever gets out of this place. Something about playing almost the same program every New Year's featuring music from his imperial days, and putting Mozart on seriously everything and clinging to his past while still being the host of conferences and playing the mediator. But as long as he's stuck here, he's still kind of in limbo. He smiles.]

Thank you; I can only hope so. Are you well?

[video]

[lookingsharp]

So you're the one harassing Sakura! That's not very nice.

[video]

[fourseasons]

[Oh geez, has she turned people against him already!! He just frowns.]

I believe that is a misunderstanding. I am not harassing her, I am simply trying to speak in terms of peace.

[video]

[lookingsharp]

That's not what she said! She told me you're trying to control her.

video;

[odinsons]

[ there is some weird shit going on on this ship. ]

Why not simply remove her from the kitchens? [ you know, by force... ]

video;

[fourseasons]

She has made it quite clear that doing such a thing would start a war. Ah... I am no longer eager for such things, so I would like to avoid that if possible.

video;

[odinsons]

She cannot simply cause a war on a vessel such as this. [ prob....ably... ] Nor does it seem quite right to take over a public area. Do you require assistance?

[purrfectlycute]

[ first thought: Japan♠Japan ]

:33 < theres two japan-sans???
:33 < is this normal :??
:33 < this whole country-people business gets more befuddling by the minute
:33 < well
:33 < i cant really say how you should handle it as, you know, a country
:33 < since my race was kinda an empire that conquered its away across the universe...
:33 < and ive never b33n that into war things
:33 < if you want to treat it like two people though, theres a couple options!
:33 < you could try to pacify her yourself, or you could get an outside force to mediate betw33n you two!
:33 < prefurrably another country-person since theyd purrobably make a better auspistice

[fourseasons]

[Oh gosh Nepeta.]

Auspistice? What is that?

Ah but yes, for the time being, there is a Japan who is female on this ship, and there is me.
It is not a normal thing by any means. I believe we are both startled by this.

[laufeysons]

Have you tried to fight for the kitchen?

[fourseasons]

No, as that is something I would like to avoid if possible.
