[China is flopped unceremoniously on one of the beds, lying on his stomach and clutching a stuffed panda. His eyes are red rimmed, and it looks supiciously like he's been crying.]

This place... I don't like it, aru. Hong Kong is acting strangely. Japan, too. I want to go home.

What's wrong with Japan? [If Japan's acting messed up in the head too Seifer is going to hurt someone.]

[inyourgarden]

Couldn't tell you seeing as I ain't from Earth, but last time I trusted you you took out Japan. I'd prefer to not have a repeat experience.

You know where Hong Kong went?

1/3

[distantwater]

I was trying to hit you, and he moved!

2/3

[distantwater]

I thought you were Mongolia, aru. I am... sorry about that.

[distantwater]

He's gone to stay with England.

[So much vitriol in that one word.]

[inyourgarden]

If everyone who tried to hit me apologized the line would go around the block several times, I wouldn't worry about it. Still that clears that up.

England is? Let me guess. Another country. Gonna need a map at this rate. What'd he do?

[distantwater]

[This sarcasm is lost on China.] I could draw you one, aru.

...

England was the one who stole Hong Kong away from me in the first place! Poisoning my people and forcing unequal treaties, aru! He started it all!

[inyourgarden]

...I'll think about it. Might just take you up on that later.

Has he done anything since he got here?

Video

[distantwater]

[Too late. He is already going at it with ink, brush and paper.]

...No, but he is taking advantage of Hong Kong's confusion!

Video

[inyourgarden]

[Fff he's not sure he wants to see this. He doesn't believe the country thing that much, even if China and Japan are okay far as things go.]

Did he tell Hong Kong to go stay with him or did Hong Kong decide that on his own?

[distantwater]

[True to form, China finishes quickly, and holds a very detailed map up to the communicator. He's labeled China, Japan, Hong Kong, and England. The map sags a little when he answers. And he is trying to hide it, but he is obviously a little heartbroken.]

He left, aru.

[inyourgarden]

[...Well if China's going to be so helpful:] You mind if I stop by later and take that?

Not much to be done about it then. For now anyways. If Hong Kong's being affected by whatever's going on I wouldn't take it personally.

Video

[distantwater]

[He likes to be helpful!] Not at all, aru. I will label the other countries.

...

I should have stopped him, aru. It would be different if we were home.

Video

[inyourgarden]

Thanks. Could come in handy.

Probably better you didn't. Sounds like a good way to start a fight.

This bothering you that much?

Video

[distantwater]

[He sounds grim.] It would start a war.

Of course it does, aru! Hong Kong is family!

...He was very small when England took him. The lease lasted 100 years. We have only been reunited now for 13.

[inyourgarden]

You'll see him again. One way or another. And there ain't gonna be any wars here while I'm around. Any of you want to do that you're gonna have to wait till you get back home.

You got any other family here?
