I think that was just fine, as introductions go.

So you're the country of Japan?

[politerudeness]

It would be most disgraceful of me if I were to introduce myself improperly.

Yes, that is correct.

[knowsitsname]

I see. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that countries live here.

I am Rinnosuke Morichika.

[politerudeness]

...There seem to be many who are not aware of our existence in this town. [ can you tell that he finds this just a little, slightly disturbing. he's not very used to it lmao. ]

It is a pleasure, Morichika-san. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but if you are one of my citizens, know that what I had said applies to you as well.

Another country-person? A pleasure to meet the small island nation of Japan! [Arrogant girl is arrogant. She's not TRYING to be rude, she's just that inept. I mean, you'll like that she knows who you are, right?]

My name is Elizabe-theta Buckley. I would simply adore to have tea with you at some point, though perhaps you would be interested in coming either to mine or to the home of my sweetheart? This infernal town has not seen fit to house us together.

[politerudeness]

A-ah... y-yes... [ yep. right now he's thinking oh dear god THIS GIRL IS SO RUDE holy shit ]

..It is a pleasure, Buckley-san. [ not even going to attempt to pronounce her first name ] If you would rather for me to do that, I shall comply.

[ergaleomancer]

Buckley-san? [A bright and cheery laugh. At your expense.] It's all right, I know foreigners have trouble with English. You should call me 'Miss Buckley'. Silly thing.

You're more than welcome to come over for tea now, actually. I live at 1333 Benny Road. [The one with the GIANT ROBOT CLANK in the front yard--can't miss it!]

[And the saddest part of all? A disposition like THAT and she's not even American. She's English, and her accent is as subtle as the clank in her front yard.]

[politerudeness]

...Miss Buckley. [ here's his politeness coming to bite him in the ass. ] ...This might be difficult. At present I do not quite know my way around Mayfield yet. I may have a certain amount of trouble finding your residence. [ ...which means "no, I'm not coming over, and you're rude" in Japan's subtle-speak. ]

[strike_you_out]

-!!

[...what

WHAT]

Japan is in Mayfield??

[politerudeness]

I, Japan, am indeed currently residing in this town by the name of Mayfield. If you are referring to my house, then know that geographically, Japan is not, in fact, in Mayfield.

[strike_you_out]

[Ohhh, he gets it.

Except not. At all. But he'll try...]

So you are a person whose name is Japan...

[politerudeness]

Incorrect. I have the form of a human, but I am Japan, the country, as well, though not geographically.

[kuichigiru]

Shouldn't it be the other way around? The people are responsible for the country's well-being.

[politerudeness]

Ah... it would be correct to say that. The actions of my citizens have a great effect on me, after all. But of course, as my citizens, I shall always hold some responsibility over them, and a dangerous place such as this town increases it.

[kuichigiru]

[ He wasn't so sure about Japan after hearing the beginning of the phone call, but he seems approving of that response: ] Ah. I should have expected such an answer.

... My name is Hibari Kyouya, from Namimori.

[politerudeness]

Why do you say that?

Kyouya-san. It is a pleasure.

[weiss_tank]

Oh hey! You're back! Glad to know you're ok.

[politerudeness]

Ah, another one with whom I had been acquainted during my previous stay.

[weiss_tank]

Yeah, you don't remember do you.

[politerudeness]

...My sincerest apologies.
