[ Hello, Discedians. It's been far too long since we had Drawing Adventures with Hong Kong, hasn't it? Since we're overdue for more, here we go. This time, it's a special occasion!

Okay, it's a little past due, but Hong Kong had a few other things on his mind when this was relevant. So now you get to go on a lovely adventure with him.

And… if you're a young'n, you might want to look away. Pretend this is a picture of bunnies and butterflies frolicking through a field of pretty flowers!

What it actually is, is some slightly questionable artwork of… England.

Yeah, Hong Kong is that shameless. He already got Japan, so his not-dad is apparently next on The List.

The first of these is a lovely and mostly subtle image of England with Portugal. Well, you'd only know that if you know Portugal, because most of the features are obscured, except for one or two key ones. C'mon, there's so much… UST.

No, there's no UST like the next drawing. The two kings of UST, no matter what France says about America. This is the best one, because it has the most attention to detail (and is probably the most explicit, since France would surely like that). Following that is one of England with Spain, though this one is again a little sketchy. Hong Kong doesn't really hang out with Spain a lot.

Or ever, really.

There's a definite pause here, like he's trying to decide what next. Oh, how about lady France? She was pretty cool. He considers lady England, but first, that's almost too much, and second, she'd probably find a way to kill him dead. Sorry dad, he's way more afraid of her. :'| ]

happy birthday. any other requests?

[ Isn't he just. So beautifully cryptic. ]

Comments

[fierybluebird]

Given the way America celebrates his I wouldn't say that. You'd be amazed what some pirates do for theirs.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, good point.

Would I? [ Does it involve things exploding. He likes those. ]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. One guy I knew thought it'd be hilarious to have a cattle run, so he just angered all these bulls and tries to outrun them.

[bauhinia]

I hope this story has a good ending.

[fierybluebird]

I think it might have started a tradition on the island.

A few idiot pirates get trampled or horns up the ass every year, but others insist it's good for practicing haki or running. [Shrugs.] Most pirates aren't that intelligent, but you didn't hear that from me.

[bauhinia]

My lips are sealed.

They do something like that in Spain, I guess. 'Running of the Bulls.' Not too sure what I think about that, but it's tradition.

[fierybluebird]

Was it started as a birthday thing?

[bauhinia]

I honestly have no clue. [ He blinks a few times. ]

[fierybluebird]

It'd be funny if it was. A weird coincidence, eh?

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that'd be something else, wouldn't it?

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Probably best that it's unknown. Then again, if I ever meet Spain, I might just have to ask.

[bauhinia]

You should totally do that. Best introduction ever, right?

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Besides, it's probably better than my initial plan of telling him I'm a pirate and asking about his interactions with them. I've heard they're not good.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I think that's probably a good idea. Better just ease into that one.

[fierybluebird]

Somehow I suspected that.

[bauhinia]

You're a pretty perceptive guy, Marco.

[fierybluebird]

At least sometimes.

[bauhinia]

I'd say most of the time.

That's like, what I perceive anyway.

[fierybluebird]

Aye, it's difficult to argue with such a perceptive guy like you.

[bauhinia]

Why would you wanna argue with me, that's the real question.

[fierybluebird]

Aye, how poignant, I don't want to all. Trust a truly exceptionally perceptive person like you to realize that.

[bauhinia]

And I couldn't fight with someone who has such impeccable taste, could I?

[fierybluebird]

Aye, too bad I doubt I will find it so easy to agree with Spain, eh?

[bauhinia]

Uh, yeah, that might be true.

[fierybluebird]

Not everyone is so enamored with pirates, eh? Small price to pay.
