Hello network.

[ He's got a better idea of how to use the device now, and he's actually holding it correctly. Text transcription into other languages was another skill he picked up, but being this is the quintessential English prick, Arthur sees no reason to try and communicate with those that don't speak his language. ]

Currently I'm located at-- [ A glance about. ] --err, in front of the Latimir apartments in Discedo. I have a question for those who are willing to lend their assistance: The 'monsters' that surround the area; can anyone offer anymore information regarding them? Hopefully other than those prone to shouting about rail tracers and other inanities that won't help my cause.

My second question might be more alarming, though I urge those that are listening not to be frightened by my request: I'm attempting to locate a few weapons to aid me in my... [ His eyes flit to the side. ] ...explorations.

Do not hesitate to contact me at this frequency, or to come here if you are within the area to talk. Thank you for your time.

[ Being vague on purpose? What do you mean he's being vague on purpose? ]

DEAL WITH THE ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

_{[ Out of nowhere, there is a Korean bolting towards you.
You hear him before you see him. ]}

YEEEEEEEEEONGUUUUUUG!!

_{[ NEARLY BULLDOZERING INTO ENGLAND.
Nearly. You're safe this time because he slows down a lot.
It is an enthusiastic embrace, followed by extensive clinging. ]}

Aaaaah, it is so good to see your bush brows in person!!! I was so excited! So excited!

get out

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

[ OHGODOHGODOHGODHE"S GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE-- ]

--KOREA! [ CRINGING READY TO BE KNOCKED DOWN AND---it.... it doesn't happen. He just has a rather annoying Korean teenager clinging to him like the plague. ]

...Korea. [ And suddenly, pushing, squirming, general freaking out because he's touching him! ] IM YONG! [ Pushing at his face and chest and arms and--breaking away. And then standing a good six feet away from the Korean man, brushing himself down before huffing. ]

Korea. It is generally not considered polite to attack people like that, just so that you are aware. I am... not quite as excited to see you, but I suppose I am pleased... in the way one is to see a beloved dog that has ran away for some time, only to find it once more after many days of worrying, but finding out it has become rabid. [ A frown. ] Did you hear my message to the network?

never.

[dongsaengoppai.livejournal.com]

_{[ He was rubbing against your face aaaah you are such a grumpy old man like Big Bro he loves it and you're from the West and yes.
He simmers down, taking a deep breath. ]}

I am sorry. I am overwhelmed with excitement, I am shaking like a little branch. I should respect my elders. _{[ even though I am older than you. And everyone.
In one arm, he is cradling his kimchi jar which still hasn't been eaten completely, and somehow hasn't broken yet. ]}

Ne, I heard your message. I want to help you!
You have all of my services!

_{[ .... hesitantly shuffling closer... ]}

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

[ What the fuck why did he bring his rotten cabbage with him to Discedo? Maybe England can steal it from him and use it as a weapon... ] Too right you are. Please try to control yourself and maintain some sort of decency, lad. I know that's hard for you, but honestly.

[ He heaves a sigh. ]

All right. All right. [ Glancing behind him. Then to the side. Then to the other side. This time, it's England who shuffles closer and leans in, voice lowering dramatically. ]

I'm going to go venture out. [ With a jerk of his head, he motions behind himself. ] I mean honestly out. Into the forests. I want to see what's out there, if there's an escape. I know there's nothing in this miserable city, or the other one I was in. Would you like to come with me?

[ Because yes, you're annoying Korea, but you're also loud and annoying and these alleged monsters might eat you first... ]

[dongsaengoppai.livejournal.com]

_{[ Oh okay being close he likes being close to people so LEANING IN SOME MORE and mimicking that tone of yours.
Ohh Mister England you are like a spy.
His voice his just above a whisper as he speaks. ]}

Aaahh, okay. You want to go and piss your pants. It is a really scary place here.
That is a stupid idea, okay. You should be hit on the head for your foolishness. If I were your mother, I would say, "You are worthless, the first born of my womb. Why did you take so much after your father? Let the Internet educate you for wise choices instead!"

I-I am not sure if I can make such a commitment but...
I have a weapon I could give you.. if you really wanted.

_{[ He is speaking in all seriousness here wow what a 180 turn. ]}

---Aaah, I did offer all my services to you, didn't I? I suppose I cannot go back on a word if you, ah, need company or assistance.

[ ...wow. ]

[ Wow. ]

[ He just got told off by Korea. He can do one of three things:

A. Shrink back and feel very stupid for suggesting any of that in the first place.

B. Thank him for his time and walk away to go pursue someone more useful.

C. Become obstinate, grow angry, shout. ]

It isn't stupid! My God, what do you know! You're just like the rest of this sad old lot, sitting around, doing shite-all, just trying to survive in this miserable habitat like the pathetic bunch of wankers you are! If you were a citizen of my country, I would disown you! For fuck's sake, I don't know why I bothered asking you in the first place, I should have guessed you would have given me such a cowardly answer!

[ Guess which one is the English way. ]

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

[ Aaaaand then he hears the second half of Korea's answer. And bites his lip. And looks away, as he can already feel the blood begin to pool in his cheeks and bring a rosy colour to the tips of his ears. ]

I... I-I-- [ Well, he's not going to apologise, that's for sure. ] --I mean, that's what I would have said had you been serious about refusing to offer your assistance! A hypothetical answer, you see. However, seeing as you are offering your assistance, that aforementioned tirade wasn't actually meant in earnest, you see.

[ So much backpeddaling what is his life ] So then! You'll come with me, and we'll both find an exit to this awful place, you with your... [ A wild hand gesture to his companion of the moment. ] Korean fighting abilities, and I shall find us some weapons to wield, whether those be guns or arrows, I cannot say for sure.

Heh. [ Clearing his throat. ] Well then. Um. [ Shuffling his feet, wow he is just... going to be red... for the rest of the day... ] Do you... do you live around Discedo like? Just so I know if I wish to speak more with you on the subject of explorations, of course.

1/2.

_{[ At first, he looks pretty heartbroken at England's outburst. Lips forming in a gently frown, eyes glossing over slightly. He's about to burst into tears, guilt trip England, black mail him, beg for an apology, and XXX all at the same time. ]}

Ach, aigoh, what an ass thing to say! I am merely being-- aa--

2/2.

[dongsaengoppai.livejournal.com]

_{[ A pause. He straightens his posture. All is well once England suddenly puts on an embarrassed show for him. He blinks a few times, a little confused. A little sympathetic smile, maybe embarrassed himself. He reaches over and pats England on the cheek. ]}

Aaaaa-- you really do not know social skills. In Korea, we know how to properly have a conversation. I will teach you! You are lonely with nobody to talk to and so you go insane, I am thinking, sometimes.

It is okay, my friend! You can talk to me; I will help and be the best even if your emotions are like an untamed ocean; calm one moment and wild the next.

_{[ The bit concerning his fighting abilities peaks his attention to where you have suddenly gotten him in military mode. Truth be told, he was a pretty good fighter. ]}

Aaah, yes, yes! So you know of the fighting abilities? Aaah, taekwondo, it is better than any Japanese samurai! I will beat the ass of any monster, and you can intimidate with your bush brows. We will be an unstoppable duo, and become even more intimate than before!

_{[ He puts his hand on England's shoulder, beaming. ]}

We will go home and take Japan's chest with us. Do you understand this? We will bring his chest with delicate motions; very fragile like the back end of a baby.

_{[ Then, at the last question, he sighs out. ]}

Aaa, so I do! I sleep in a building. It smells like piss and it is cold and there is no bed and it is shit...
But AAA, I am thankful for a roof over my head!
Sometimes I sleep other places. Where ever my head will rest, I am thankful for life!

_{[ aka: he lives no where. ]}

Oh, ah, yes. I will explain to you the complications of the weapon I will present to you.

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

Korea, remove your hand from my shoulder before I remove it for you.

[ Well he's not embarrassed anymore, though he might still be red in the face. More out of anger, if anything. ]

And I'll have you know I have plenty of people to talk to, and even if I didn't, I don't need anyone! I'm not recruiting you to be my friend, you idiot! I'm recruiting you as a soldier, so start acting like one! [ Aggravated sigh. ] And we're not going to be 'intimate'; my God, could you find a better word to use? Please?

[ Ignoring about half of that. ] Right, well. Explain away.

[dongsaengoppai.livejournal.com]

_{[ ... ]}

I-I'm recruiting you to be my friend.

_{[ doki doki. soft smile, eyes shining. You're fascinating to him.
He reaches over and lightly grabs his hand, tugging him along to the apparent direction of the forest. ]}

Okay, so. Some of the monsters really like kimchi, and some of them really don't. I found out the hard way, and pissed my pants from being scared.
If it would help you, aaa, I suppose I could lend you my jar of kimchi for awhile.

It is very special to me, so don't do anything stupid with it.

_{[ this is his way of helping. 8| ]}

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

I--

[ A brow raise. ]

I see. [ Whoa whoa whoa wait, WAIT. Slowing down, digging his heels in, grabbing Korea and holding him still. ] Howay man, slow up will you? We're not going anywhere yet, you gowk. [ A shake of the head. ]

I think we're going to need a more effective weapon than kimchi. [ And for once, for once, in the brief moment between breaths, a somewhat considerate thought occurs to him, and begrudgingly: ] I mean, of course, we wouldn't want to waste good food, right?

[dongsaengoppai.livejournal.com]

_{[ He slows down, loosely threading his fingers through England's and idly standing there. ]}

Aaa, what? Are you showing signs of a coward already even though this idea would not be approved by your mother--?
She would be so worried.

And yet, your father would be so disapproving of your spineless ways!
Aaah, it is such a predicament, isn't it?

_{[ He swings their hands a little, smiling. ]}

No way, bro! I've discovered some like kimchi and so they leave me alone, and some hate the kimchi, so they run away! It is a powerful tool!
And some just get more angry and I shit myself.

Maybe more preparation would be a good idea before we do this then, right?

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

[ ew what are you doing ]

No, I'm showing signs of thinking things through you daft twat. [ And with that, he hits him lightly upside the back of his head. ] My mother, Christ, you're right on that; my mother would love to see me do something stupid and have my head taken. Luckily, I'm not my mother.

[ A roll of the eyes. Korea, you are eerily accurate here... ]

[ A brow raise at 'bro'. ] That's preposterous. You dont' fight monsters with rotten vegetables, unless you're at a play and the monsters are just terrible actors. And usually, that's fruit.

[ A brief nod to show he agrees, but beyond that, he doesn't answer. ]
