[For once, while not dealing with yard work, Japan is outside of the house. Either on the porch, walking down the road, or absentmindedly shopping in the grocery store; he can be found fairly easily. Coming from the Nintendo DS he's playing is music from the possibly familiar game of Chrono Trigger DS.]HP and MP restored! ...but you're still

Japan? What's wrong?

[fuelefficient]

Ah... oh, England-san. It almost seems impossible to keep yourself satisfied in this game.

[is_an_island]

Did your house burn down?

There's no need to seek solace in the games, b-but it's not like I'm offering to be there for you.

[fuelefficient]

...did it? I was not aware of such a thing.

[Bumps into Japan while taking a walk, as she seems to be wandering in a similarly absentminded sort of fashion.]

"O-oh, I'm sorry--"

[pinkplumblossom]

[And then she sees who it is and frowns.]

"...Good day, nii-san."

[fuelefficient]

[He prepares to give an obligatory bow of apology but he sees who it is...

...and ends up bowing even deeper.]

My apologies!

[pinkplumblossom]

"N-no... it was my fault. I'm sorry."

[Japan may get the vague notion that she's actually talking about something else here, but knowing him, it's just as likely that the subtext will remain buried forever.]

[[Bump. But since Massimo's a robot, he's alright.

yes

an rpg robot]]

Ah, s-sorry! Are you alright?

[fuelefficient]

[CLANG]

Ah, yes, yes. My apologies. I should have been watching where I was going.

[[HJFDSLGSA STARING AT THE DS SO MUCH. JUST STARING.]]

...What's that?

[fuelefficient]

This is a Nintendo DS, a portable gaming system.

. . .

[Yuki glances up at Japan as he walks by, her gaze fixated on the machine in his hands.]

. . . Miniature computer?

[fuelefficient]

Ah, no. This is a Nintendo DS.

[bogusmagicker]

[Oh right. She'd thought her data banks had something like that.]

Ah. The most popular handheld gaming system in Japan. . . . What is its purpose?

[fuelefficient]

To play games, of course. It has a few other things but gaming is its primary purpose.

[lotuslife]

[has never seen a portable game device in her life, so this is like... HOLY HELL WHAT IS THAT TINY TV]

What is...?

[fuelefficient]

Ah, hello Vietnam-san.

[lotuslife]

What is that small... radio?

[fuelefficient]

This is not a radio. It's a Nintendo DS. Nearly every one of my citizens owns one of these.
