[baoziaru]

[Action]

[Anyone in Discedo may notice a familiar figure roaming about the streets, though there's a different air about him. He'll be strolling around the city before he makes his way back to his old apartment at Latimir 101.]

[The feed just shows some static for a moment before revealing this figure. He has a calm look on his face as

[action]

[fragrancy]

[ Just outside the apartment building when he notices someone approaching. He looks a little like he's about to greet China, then he stops.

Yeah, that's definitely different. So, ever-eloquent, he just stands there until he thinks China might be able to see him. Then, very briefly, he waves. And says not a word. So helpful. ]

[action]

[gochuugoku]

[As China approaches the building, he sees a figure waving to him and after some squinting, he sees who it is. He picks up his pace, allowing the flag he's holding to float behind him.]

[action]

[fragrancy]

[ Definitely different. Hong Kong waits for China, still refraining from speaking. Once China's closer, he looks pointedly upward, at the other's hair. ]

[action]

[gochuugoku]

Hm? What's the matter, Hong Kong? Why are you-- Oh... [Then he realizes just where the other is staring at. He twirls his short locks around one of his fingers.]

It's just something to help me, aru.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, it is me.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Thirty years. It is now 1967 for me, aru.

[spiffingtea]

[He eyes the other for a moment.]

... What year?

[He does recognise the haircut, even if he barely saw much of China himself during that point.]

[gochuugoku]

1967. It has been thirty years since the last time I was here, aru.

Unless... how long was I gone?

[spiffingtea]

About a week, I should think.

[gochuugoku]

How strange...

[He looks upwards, thoughtfully. What was he thinking about? Only he himself knew. Then he directs his eyes back at England.]

Say, Yīngguó, how is Měiguó anyway?

[OOC: "America"]

[asideglance]

[He can't ignore the communicator when China's hair is like that...]

C-china-san?

[gochuugoku]

[Unlike in the past, China does not give a violent reaction to Japan's voice. He simply looks into the screen with a calm expression on his face.]

Rìběn. Actually, when I returned here, I was hoping to speak to you soon, aru.

[asideglance]

...What is the year now?

[gochuugoku]

1967. The war is long over, therefore, I no longer have any reason to be your enemy neither here on Fortuna, or back home on Earth, aru.

[Despite his personal grudges and feelings, he knew he had to put his country's well being first.]

[Voice]

[westdetective]

Ya must have a use.

I'd say "welcome back" but this isn't th' kinda place where people want ta be.

[Voice]

[gochuugoku]

[There's a sigh.]

Well, Heiji, it is not like things at home are going smoothly either, aru. Even thirty years later and with the Second World War over, my country is still unstable, not to mention I have been dragged into my sister's conflict.

[Voice]

[westdetective]

[He's disregarding most of that. Yep. Totally don't believe the country thing.]

Did they drop ya off in Spero of Discedo? [He would have known if it were Dissimulo.]

[Voice]

[gochuugoku]

[China 'tsks' to himself. Though he's annoyed, he could honestly care less now since that argument had been thirty years ago for him.]

I am in Discedo. I have been back for awhile actually, aru. I just wished to keep my presence a secret from everyone else until I grew used to Fortuna again.
