[fourseasons]

Hong Kong-san,

It has come to my attention that our time here together has grown into something much more than what we have at home. Perhaps it is a forbidden sort of love, but I believe that is what causes it to burn so strongly! Forgive me if this is far too sudden, but I will wait as long as it takes for Hong Kong-san to be ready for such a thing. Please contact me as soon as this message is received. We do not have to stay in a place such as this with so many limitations...

With love,
The State of Japan

[Yup...

As Japan's communicator sends this message out, he'll just be on a walk and checking out Ace's old warehouse. Feel free to run into him along the way or come find him, otherwise he does have his comm with him!]

[Huh. Marco is not taking this well. Not as badly as he could be... but still.]

[fierybluebird]

[So he'll show up and lean against the door, slouching with his arms folded, trying to look casual, but clearly grumpy.]

Little early for April's Fools isn't it?

[fourseasons]

[He jumps just a little. He had been looking at all of the crates and thinking about things, but maybe he should have expected Marco would find him at some point.

Although that sort of expression is even more surprising.]

...April Fools? I do not understand.

[fierybluebird]

No? [Turns away.] Guess you messed up your message then, eh.

[fourseasons]

M-message? [What's meant by that... He'll walk over towards Marco.]

What is meant by this? Is Marco alright?

[fierybluebird]

[TENSES UP. HOW COULD YOU!? He is supa!dramatic here.]

Fine. Of course.

Did you mean it?

[This is horrible.]

[NO HE IS NOT SERIOUS.]

Find who really wrote it so I can kill them, I'll make sure it's not him.

[bauhinia]

[ He's totally gonna say something like 'BUT WHAT ABOUT MARCO' right? He totally is. He has to say something about Marco. ]

[bauhinia]

okay, but you're gonna have to stop calling me "Hong Kong-san" because that's just weird

[ BUT WHAT ABOUT MARCO?! ]

[text]

[fourseasons]

[Well this came out of nowhere... Does Hong Kong want to improve their relationship?! Wow that just sounds awkward in a bracket of this post.]

...Just Hong Kong, then?

[bauhinia]

if you're cool with it

btw, have you talked to Marco about this?

[fourseasons]

[You know, if Japan weren't so... Japan...ish, he'd be able to ask 'about what' and end this confusion. As it is, he feels it's his duty to understand what this conversation is about.

And so he translates it to... this name situation.]

As long as it is not minded, I am fine with changing it...

Why would I speak to Marco about such a thing?

[gochuugoku]

[China's running toward him right now, waving the comm in his hand like a madman.]

RIBEEEEEEN!!!! Explain this!

[fourseasons]

Eh?! What?! Did something happen?! [WHIRLING TOWARDS HIM and looking panicked at the name shouting.]

[gochuugoku]

[He comes to a screeching halt in front of Japan, panting as he speaks.]

Explain... this... [He hands his comm over to the other, with the message still visible on it.] Please tell me that it's just the prankster and not you. You know, the one who is going around, taking everyone's devices, and typing things without the owners' knowledge, aru.

[fourseasons]

What? My communicator has not left my side--

[He trails off as he takes China's from him and scans it over

and slowly looks horrified]

I-I did not write this!

[gochuugoku]

I thought so. It's not like you to say such a thing so suddenly. It still nearly gave me a heart attack, though. [He even places a hand over his chest.]

But if your device was with you this whole time, then it probably isn't a person doing all this, aru. Could it be a malfunction, or a virus?

[straw_hat]

[...what is Luffy reading even. I mean. Seriously.]

Japan, I think Marco's gonna be pissed.

[voice]

[fourseasons]

Eh? Why?

[voice]

[straw_hat]

Because you just wrote a love letter to Hong Kong.

Which is kinda like betraying Marco.

And he reaaaaaaaaally hates that shit.

[voice]

[fourseasons]

W-what?! Love letter--?!

[Wheeze]

I did no such thing!

[voice]

[straw_hat]

The one you just wrote to Hong Kong about "forbidden love" and stuff.
