[ Hello, residents of Fortuna. This feed has turned on in what seems to be the middle of a conversation. Its participants seem to be discussing something Quite Serious, if their tone is to be believed. Let's listen in, shall we? ]

Y'know everyone's gotta think Jack and a loaf of bread's a good idea now, right? Ever since Valentine's and all.

I still say bread would do better with butter. But bread gets around almost as much as Greece. Let's see there's Hungary, Norway, France. Anyone else I'm missing?

Only the ones I told you about before, yeah? It's probably not as many as you could pick for America. I mean, there's the obvious one, right? Though I guess that didn't end too well.

[ There's a pause here, like he might be referencing something. ] Tons of people are gonna wanna pair him off with like, England. And there's girl England too. I bet people'd pair them together, actually. Plus she definitely has a thing for France, too.

I see her a lot more with France, eh. And eh... I know it's different for countries but America/England still seems too much like incest.

Something to be said for China/Stocking, eh? And even anyone brave enough to make a move like Yukiteru and Yuno.

Yeah, they had a pretty interesting post for Valentine's. They weren't the only ones either. Would've been pretty funny if the Doctor had made some kinda love confession to his ship, yeah? The TARDIS, that's what it's called. I'm gonna write that one down.

[ That evokes a laugh from Marco. ]

I'd totally be letting my pupils off easy if I didn't say Clive and Sasuke. That one's interesting. So is Clive and Flora, they've got some chemistry. And like, what about kismesis or whatever it's called? Shizuo and Sasuke could totally count for that.

Aye, Clive and Sasuke seem to get around too, eh? [ Nods in complete agreement with his little bro. ] Shizuo and Terezi too, don't you think? At least as far as kismesis go. And you have to have Sakura and Naruto and that new guy... Bolin? He and Sora are pretty cute together. And speaking of cute, Adam and Makoto, right?

How about Yuuko and Watanuki? I bet he'd get along with Yukiteru too, yeah?

Seems legit to me. [ Strokes chin in thought. ] What about sillier ones like Karkat and possums?

Okay, if you're gonna go there, Brooke and underwear. What's the deal there anyway?

He missed his chance while he was alive so making up for lost time I guess. How about Molly and Jay?

Seriously? Never thought of it. I'll add them to the list. [ His list is growing more and more impressive. ] D'you have anything for Denzel Crocker?

[Coughs.] Ryoko… Oh but Gellert too, come to think of it. They can agree that fairies are real and annoying or something.

[ There's some scratching and shuffling here, which is indicative of Hong Kong writing that down pretty quickly. ] Any others come to mind?

Hundre— Ah… is your comm on? Oi oi they're gonna see what we did to the ceiling!

That's cool, they're bound to find out eventually. Hey, Marco, d'you think people ship us too?

Oh, if they do, we should give them a show, eh? [ Pirate leer and leans in suggestively as he turns it off. ]

Comments

[eastmontecarlo]

This is very comprehensive. Do you think perhaps I could receive a copy in a bulleted format?

[bauhinia]

Sure thing. Y'know you can always add to the wall, if you wanna.

[eastmontecarlo]

Is that right? I certainly think that your own feelings should take their place on the wall as well, Hong Kong.

[bauhinia]

My— [ ... ]

My feelings are on the wall.

[eastmontecarlo]

I would very much like to try my hand at drawing Iceland, if you haven't yet done it yourself.

[bauhinia]

[ No, don't get his insides all twisted up. ]

Oh yeah, I mean. If you wanna.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ You know you deserve this. ]

Though perhaps you should be the only one to capture his image.

[bauhinia]

[ This is very cruel revenge! ]

Pretty sure there's no reason I would be.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Heheheheh. ]

Because love will paint the fondest image.

[bauhinia]

I think you totally just made that up because it sounded cool.

[eastmontecarlo]

Everything must have a beginning somewhere.

[bauhinia]

I dunno, this feels like a weird place for that, kinda.

[eastmontecarlo]

For beginnings? It's ideal for that, Hong Kong.

[bauhinia]

Well, it'd help if everyone who needed to be here for that were, y'know, here.

[eastmontecarlo]

Your love should stand the test of time and distance and dimension.

[bauhinia]

If you're talking about my feelings, my feelings are fine.

[eastmontecarlo]

Your feelings are unexpressed and shy.

[fierybluebird]

Maybe he'll share his notes with you.

[eastmontecarlo]

I wonder if perhaps I could get them laminated.

[fierybluebird]

It might be worth looking into.

Then again, these things change on a rather frequent basis. So making it permanent probably isn't worth it.

[eastmontecarlo]

Another system, then. I suppose taking each name individually, laminating those, and then putting them within a clear thin case would be the best way. That way those cards could be removed and shifted around as necessary while also still retaining a sleek and modern look in the method of presentation.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I like it! You're devious. In a refreshingly brilliant way.

[eastmontecarlo]

Haha, thank you very much, sir. I'll be counting on you for information in order to update the files.

[fierybluebird]

I'll do my best to be of service!

[eastmontecarlo]

I have complete faith in your abilities.
