Second Cake - Video

[ready2go]

( The feed opens up to an empty bed room. However if whoever is watching is to stay a few more seconds, they can hear two different voices yelling at each other. )

Aiyaa! I haven't tied my hair up yet aru!

Crap! I haven't even changed!

Y-You may change Stocking. I won't start without you.

What should I wear? A dress or something?

I think you'll look lovely in anything, but you have more dresses, it would be more easier and faster for you.

( Not that anyone can see but Stocking changes quickly and appears in the feed. She sits down on the bed she and China share. She is followed by China and they both stare at the screen, both grabbing each other's hands. China begins to speak with a big blush on his face. )

Nihao...We both have a very important announcement that we would like everyone to hear, aru.

( Stocking faces China softly and stares at him lovingly. )

Well you see the thing is I really love Yao...a lot, and he loves me.

Y-Yes that is right. Also whether or not you noticed, Stocking has a ring on her finger. A wedding ring...I gave her that ring.

And I'm going to marry Yao, the one who gave me the ring.

( China's expression suddenly becomes confident. )

Yes.

So I, Wang Yao, and my fiancee, Anarchy Stocking, would like to invite family, friends, everyone to our engagement party and wedding.

So that's it. If anyone decides to fuck this up, I will murder you.

[OOC: That's right, they are getting married for those of you who didn't know. Also red is China and blue is Stocking. Feel free to have your character freak out or scream in joy. ]

Of course we will, aru. [He can't help feeling that there's also something being implied in Marco's quote of having fun, but he'll ignore it.]

[fierybluebird]

I have no doubts.

[He means only pirate things by it. Not that that makes it any better.]

[gochuugoku]

Yet even now, I can hardly believe that I am getting married.

I've imagined it a few times, wondering how it feels... Now I finally get to see and experience it, aru.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins.] I'm sure it'll be even better than you could have imagined, eh?

[gochuugoku]

That is what I want to believe. After all, they say marriage is not exactly something that can be described based on observation alone.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. I'm certain that's true. Though I haven't exactly had a lot of stable marriages to observe. [At least some of his brothers have to be married, but being as they're all pirates in the New World; definitely not stable.]

[gochuugoku]

I'm sure some of the other Nations can say the same to you. As for me, I avoided it. [Because he was too scared to face the pain that comes with losing a spouse.]

[fierybluebird]

Understandable. Did any of your royal families count in that category though?

[gochuugoku]

If you mean unstable marriages, then yes.

[fierybluebird]

I meant stable, but I see.

[gochuugoku]

Oh? Well, I do know of one certain stable marriage. It was between Queen Elizabeth I of England and Opium himself.

[fierybluebird]

[Stare.]

Oh?

[gochuugoku]

[He nods.]

I do not know all the details, but these things tend to reach other countries' ears no matter how far apart they are.

She is sometimes called the 'Virgin Queen,' for she remained a virgin her whole life and refused to marry any other man besides England. Historians were even able to write down that very quote where she states their marriage.

From the way it sounds, he truly did love her. It was a chaste, but loving marriage. I heard the entire country mourned when she died.

[fierybluebird]

Oh. England.... Right. Him. [Sideglance. He TOTALLY thought she was actually married to the drug itself. Weird moment. Weird weird moment.]

Wait... wow seriously? Ah... [That's so sad though ;;] I see. How... unfortunate.

[Gah, his stomach knots at just the thought of marrying someone he knew would fade in a couple of years. For all he insists he lives in the moment, that takes a lot of guts.]

[gochuugoku]

Of course, England. Who did you think I was speaking of?

[Though he won't say it aloud. Ever. China thinks the same. It must have taken the Englishman a lot of courage to accept that woman's love.]

Whether he regrets the decision he made, that is not for me to say.

[fierybluebird]

Er... the drug itself... Don't ask.

Pirates don't waste time on regrets. I suppose he's just very willing to be bold, eh?

[gochuugoku]

...What? But why--Oh, nevermind!

Actually, he didn't choose her. She chose him, so the history books and other Nations say. She was the one who started it and England decided to accept that love despite what was to come.

Thankfully, I am going to make sure that what is to come will not arrive for a very long time, or even not at all for both my family's [including Stocking] and my people's sake.

[fierybluebird]

That's still bold in its own way, eh? [He's all distant thinking of his own past loves and Thatch.]

I'm sure you'll find a way China-san.

[gochuugoku]

And I will believe.
