三 ❀ 『 video/action for discedo 』
[ Sup Fortuna, guess who's been quiet for a while... yes Japan-the girl one-is just that kind of person it seems. She's a Lady so she has to be modest... anyway, the video feed turns on to Japan standing somewhere outside. The fog makes it difficult to see anything, and the video quality isn't the best, but one can see her clearly enough, though the expression on her face is a bit difficult to discern. ]
Ah... good afternoon. How is everyone faring? [ She knows that it's not the right thing to ask or say, considering the situation, but you know. POLITENESS. That's just a formality she needs to get out of the way though. ] ...At any rate, um, I have a question, and if anyone could assist me in this one matter, I would appreciate i--
[ AND THEN SHE IS INTERRUPTED. By a very loud female voice. And the appearance, from behind her, of a woman only a few people will recognize. Despite the picture though, the clothes she's wearing are very, very traditional and even old-fashioned; definitely from a much earlier time period, and definitely Chinese. ]
Aiyaaaaah! There you are, there you, you ungrateful child! Look at you, running off on your own, not even finishing your breakfast!
...China-san? Is that China-san?
Come, come! Ho, what is this? You found something interesting? You so cute, but so sorry, we have no time for that!
...
This is not how I raise you! We very busy today, very very busy! Let's go, we must begin with--
[ ...You know what, she won't say anything. She'll just stand there and stare blankly for a moment because she can't think of anything else to do. Meanwhile, while she does that, the woman rambles on and on and on about something, then suddenly turns back to her and runs off to somewhere while calling for her. ]
Come on, come on! You want make this old woman wait?! Come here, you, I remind you which one of us is older one!
... [ a sigh. ] Ah, I remember that. What a long time ago that was. At that time, I was just a child. To think that it would come back to me... Haah... [ There's a second where she just stands there with an expression of one lost in thought about something serious and probably a bit depressing... and then a young boy, appearing about the age of seventeen or eighteen runs by and up to her, by contrast, dressed in much more modern clothes. Anyone who knows Taiwan will recognize the haircurl, and if not that, the excited, energetic and upbeat attitude. ] --Japan, Japan! Hey, listen! I got us tickets to A-mei's concert!
Eh? ...What are you saying, in here--
[ Once again he continues on, as if she never interrupted him, while she stares as blankly as before. ] Would you like to go with me? Oh! Oh, I'll let you ride my motorcycle with me! I wanted to show it to you anyway, it's new and it's really really cool! I'd bet we'd look really look together, and I have a helmet that looks just like Celty's, and we could just ride in there and make one of those cool entrances, and-- oh, by the way! I got you the latest issue of Shonen Jump, since I knew you'd like it, oh and and and-
[ And only then does she suddenly remember that the communicator is turned on. ] N-never mind my question! I forgot what it was anyway! I apologize for wasting everyone's time! [ She looks embarrassed for some reason, and quickly turns off the communicator.
Later that day-- anyone in Discedo will find her wandering and walking around, then stopping to just stand there and think in the most strangest and random of places. When she does, she'll be staring off into the distance lost in thought yet again. Obviously the best time to interrupt her yes. ]
