[BZZZZZZZTT--]

Well, fuck you too! I'm not gonna start every post like this, but it's Yuki Kuran's birthday tomorrow-- an' I'm too damn good at this, really. If ya haven't gotten to know her already, ya should get on that. An' make sure to spoil her, cuz she deserves that too! Then there are a few more important people I need some dates from, eheheh. Promise I won't be doin' this everytime but hey, this shit's priority, cuz frankly there ain't enough to celebrate here.

[...]


Anyway, uh, movin' on. To all the nation-like entities here an' whatnot...

[needless to say, his tone's changed somewhat.]

Don' tell me you've ever wished ya were a human, eh?

You're making even less sense than usual. Congratulations, eh.

[Voice]

[scimitar]

How did that not make sense!

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Do you or don't you hate vampires? Do you have to date all of them in order to kill them? That's a stupid way to do it.

And since when do you wish you weren't a nation? Why would you even bother, eh?

Fire off, no! Second off, I never said I didn' wanna be a nation— so fuck no!

I'm wonderin' if any 'a them have ever had second thoughts or some shit, cuz that seems likely as 'a late!

I like the idea of you remaining in charge of a birthday calendar. It's a worthy goal and I think it'll be good for you. I would like to assist; you're far too right that entertainment is not held in high enough value here.

[ There's silence for a few moments, as if the transmission should be over, but really he's just contemplating the question. ] There have been times when I've thought that a shorter, simpler life might allow for me to evolve even more complex philosophical ideas, but I've never truly wished it. There are too many that are counting on me, citizens or otherwise. Is that how you feel as well?

[voice]

[scimitar]

'Good for me'? The hell's that s'posed to mean?

[even if he had, he would never admit to it. ever.]

No. An' that's all ya would want outta it— Philosophy?

[voice]

[eastmontecarlo]

To remain busy. That brings with it a feeling of accomplishment, and your sort of energy is very nicely paired with the announcement of something so positive. [ Don't fight it. ]

I'm not sure how else it would feel, but that's one thing that I can think of.

( hello! a red face yuki is staring into the screen. )

T-Turkey-san! You didn't have to tell everyone....

( she shakes her head slightly to the side. )

I-I don't want anyone spoiling me!! No please don't say that again next year.

(video)

[scimitar]

Whyyyyy? It's totally the best!

(video)

[flourisher]

Well if you say so....

( changing the subject of course because hur hur. )

So when are you coming over?

[video] late late late, that's my new mantra

[bauhinia]

Wished we were human? [ What. ] Just ourselves or all the countries and stuff?

[ Making a mental note about Yuki's birthday. ]

[video] it's cool i am the definition of it

[scimitar]

Jus' ourselves.

[video] let's be comrades in arms!!

[bauhinia]

What's the reason for that? Wishing for it, I mean.

Mais non! I had no idea! Oh mon Descartes, I must make a cake! Five cakes! Aaa she has been so nice to let me live with her, and I have not even prepared her a cake! [ whiiiiiiiiine ] Aaa c'est terrible je suis l'ami pire!

[france]

[ oh he is so down with this. ]

Mais, oui. L'herbe est toujours plus verte chez le voisin. How nice it must be to be spared the pain of watching your friends, your lovers, everyone you've ever cherished die before you. How nice it must be to only see the horrors of one lifetime. How nice it must be to be certain death will come one day.

[ With eyes cast at halt-tilt towards the communicator, France pauses to take a breath. Lids fall shut and he smiles, just slightly, if not somewhat wistfully. How many times has he pondered this thought, reflected upon the anxiety of immortality? Fingers slip into his pocket and play at the pages of a book now frayed from use. ]

But you must consider what you give up to live the life of a human. Oui, you could love, live, marry, settle, and die by the side of your soulmate, bien sûr. But could you feel the love of millions of your citizens everyday? [ The hand draws out from his pocket and reaches up to right the communicator, the pensive smile from before now wide and genuine. ]

Could you have experienced nearly as much as you have now? Pain, and loss, oui, but love, and joy? Heartbreak, betrayal, rage, but elation, adoration, and ecstasy as well? [ With a shake of the head. ] C'est impossible.

he should've known it'd be him to give such a flowery, elaborate answer. and a semi-satisfying one, at that (only semi as it'd be preferred if the topic had never come up at all). he pretty much hit the nail right on the head. this is why these sorts of questions should be left to greece; he's grown to resent them.]

"The grass is greener on the other side," huh?

[he's genuinely never wished to be a human. renumerated on it, yes. but wished for it? no. certainly hadn't put as much thought into it as this. then goodness, does he dislike agreeing with him on something. there's nothing even left to argue with; he's covered it all.]

No.

( voice/action???? )

[shadesofred]

Yuki, huh? Do I need to be jealous of this girl? You're not sweet on her, are you? I don't take too kindly too disloyalty.

[ there's mirth in her voice but, as always, it's hard to tell if she's joking or not ]

( voice/action???? ) 1/2

[scimitar]

[yeah



pretty much]


Hahahaha, Yuki?! No way, we're jus' friends!

( voice/action???? LOCKED VOICE / ACTION )

[scimitar]

... 'Sides, she's a vampire.

( ACTION )

[shadesofred]

[ You know, she might've been content to just creep on him from the shadows, but that brings her slithering out. It's sad that her stealth is hindered by her lack of powers (for now). He'll be able to hear the heels of her boots click until she's standing right behind him. ]

Now I know you're trying to make me jealous.

[ She's not smiling her usual, creeper grin.

run for your life. ]

[starspangledhero]

Human? Well sure, sometimes...

[ He makes a noise like he's going to elaborate, but stops ]

Why d'ya ask?

( voice )

[scimitar]

Makin' sure I don' gotta kick anyone's ass into thinkin' otherwise!

( voice )

[starspangledhero]

Aw c'mon man, lighten up! It's fun to indulge in fantasies every once in a while. You know. "What if." Not that I'm gonna give up bein' a country or anything, but I can't help but imagine. And wishing? Ain't like I was prayin' for it or nothing, but I've wished on a couple stars. Can't say I've never wished for being human. Especially when I was a colony.

Wait, don't tell me you've never thought about it.
