A picture of restraint.

[Somewhere in HQ is a garden. A Chan Buddhist rock garden, to be specific. The room is shaped like a sinuous curve, with a waterfall trickling down the far stone wall into a small, blue-tiled pool. The sand is white and fine, and the worn, carven stones look like pieces of old ruins, placed at elegant intervals. A few of them are even floating,

So guess who gets washed up at your tranquil shore like a stray piece of flotsam. HQ finally gave him free access to the library. With footage.
He sort of crumbles near the entrance, boots and all and bleeds on your sand from his knuckles.

No. But Prussia at least needs to talk to *someone*. Also, Chinese history in the 1900's is, well...

[suum_cuique]

[Opens his eyes to thin slits to give Yao a heavy-lidded stare.]

Not sure.

[He seems to deliberate his condition for a while.]

Hey, China! What do you do with people who betray you? I mean, do you throw them in molten iron? Rat them out to their enemies? Cut all ties? Kiss n'make up? What.

Indeed.

[alliance_yao]

I tend to favor long, quiet schemes that culminate in horrific planet-wide destruction.

Why do you ask?

[suum_cuique]

[That. Does sound suitably impressive.]

Do you smile and tell them you love them during?

also tag Algemeine back plz y/n/cupcakes?

[alliance_yao]

If it's beneficial to the plan.

You didn't answer my question.

Ah, I'm sorry. I'm a bit blocked! I'll try to come up with a tag that doesn't suck too hard?

[suum_cuique]

[Hard face, his eyes glinting coldly.]

I'm trying to decide what to do with my brother, should he have the nerve to show his face to me again.

Ug, I hate when that happens. If all else fails THEY ARE DRINKING COFFEE. And you don't fail. <3

[alliance_yao]

Ah, family. They're just more trouble than it's worth to pull all the swords out of your back sometimes, aren't they?

Well and I want to read your tags. /likes Allgemeine a lot. <3

[suum_cuique]

[A bark of laughter, harsh and mirthless.]

I should have drowned him like a litter of kittens when he first attached himself to me like a fucking leech.

[He sounds deeply miserable, though, not vindictive.]

He is so fun. <333

[alliance_yao]

I have never understood why you Westerners insist on drowning unwanted small animals instead of eating them. Although kittens do tend to be bony.

He needs to show Prussia a modern motorbike sometime.

[suum_cuique]

[Shrugs.]

Diseases and parasites. We just don't generally eat carnivores if we don't have to.

Hnngh, yes.

[alliance_yao]

That's why you cook them first. Carefully.

Except Prussia would probably get funny about the bike the same way he does about guns.

[suum_cuique]

[Amused.]

I barely taught my people how to cook potatoes. I think I'll leave dog with a side of salad to the more advanced kitchen wizards.

[Carefully leaving out his own first encounter with the vegetable here, of course. >D]

I love how catty and OT they are

[alliance_yao]

Very wise of you, then.

[...lol]

XD I had some vaguely clever idea about discussing the Boxer rebellion when I tagged you, I swear.

[suum_cuique]

[Brazen.]

Of course you could always invite me to dinner. I'll try everything once.

[alliance_yao]

[You're lucky he has a weakness for the shameless ones.]

I might. My table will have a few extra empty space soon.

[suum_cuique]

[Hey, the world may come down in shambles but free food is free food.]

...how come?
