Awright, chucklenuts, pay attention! Tha Major Gen'ral has put me in charge 'a whippin' tha kids in town inta lean, mean, fightin' machines. So if yer interested in learnin' how ta bust heads, shoot a gun an' all that kinda fun stuff, then come see me at 1451 Mitchell. I'll see what ya can do then we'll make a work out plan for ya. Gotta get in shape first, ya got that?



...Oh yeah. Can someone please explain ta me what the fuck happened ta Taiwan? Cuz I swear ta God, I think I need ta kick someone's ass over this but I ain't sure who. I think it's Japan? But ya've been a decent guy up until this point, so I don't wanna kick yer ass if I don't gotta. But, I want an explanation. From someone.

I think she's just been droned, like Nadia was. S'not anyone's fault...

And I'll be there, definitely.

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

She has been droned.

Unless you're speaking of the declaration she was making beforehand.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but she was like, makin' some kinda declaration over the phone about Japan an' got droned WHILE she was still talkin'!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Both. They might be related since she got droned while still on tha phone.

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

From what I could piece together, I have an unconfirmed theory.

Taiwan was in love with Japan, and Japan went out with her. Then, Vietnam, Taiwan's sister, and Japan got drunk one night. As they ere drunk, they got married. Japan felt he needed to take responsibility, first by telling everyone they were married - but not why or how - and then trying to kill himself. Taiwan believed that Japan had been using her, and that he and Vietnam secretly hated her and did this behind her back. Taiwan was trying to become an independent country in the declaration, I believe, no longer relying on Japan.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Wait, Japan tried ta kill himself?! Holy shit. 'S he alright?

...Man, these nation guys are complicated. What the hell.

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

He's in the hospital, he didn't succeed in trying to kill himself.

Indeed, they are. But then, in Mayfield... they are only human.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

...Damn. I didn't know shit got that crazy. Well thanks fer tha head's up, anyway.

Yeah, ain't that tha truth.

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

You are welcome. I am Taiwan's 'daughter' here, so it is a comfort to know about others caring for her.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, too many good people 'r gettin' droned lately an' it's buggin' me big time. Especially when it's people who don't do anythin' ta deserve it.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What?

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

It is difficult to tell if she was being punished, or it was just her time. Although I have not heard one happen mid-speech before.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me either. That's what bugs me tha most.

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

Indeed, very disturbing.

Saki Hanajima, by the way.

[best-papa-ever.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, what a chipper fella you are! Have any experience with throwing knives? I've been thinking that a few people should try a little knife combat, in case something happens at close range. Which... seems to happen fairly often.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Subtly, what is that] Hey, I'm just tryin' ta help get this town in gear. I know a lotta people wanna learn, so what's wrong wit' that? It ain't like I'm gonna teach the little kids how ta fire a gun. An' it ain't like this is the first time we did somethin' like this. Sniper had a campin' trip a few weeks back where he pretty much did tha same thing.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Knives ain't really my thing, but it ain't a bad idea. His 'bout this - I see what the kids ' r interested in, an' what they're good at. If knives look like a good fit for 'em, I'll send 'em yer way. Interested in teachin' at all?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Scout.

Thanks again. If ya hear anythin' on Japan, lemme know?

[pencilpremonition]

I'm already getting good with the rifle I got for my birthday! [Or at least she's not given up on practising with it yet, but for Becca that's something!]

[couldbeeeepthem.livejournal.com]

I'll remember.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

-All you hear on this end is hilaity-induced laughter.-

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yuck it up, helmet head! I don't see you carryin' yer weight 'round here!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Keep up tha good work. Ya should prob'ly stick ta gettin' pointers from Sniper fer that though.

[pencilpremonition]

[Yeah but she can get praise from you now, so~]

Yeah, he's been showing me loads. I'm gonna start shooting everybody's milk deliveries... I'm a good enough shot to do it, too. [C'mon, be impressed~ Or call her for being the attention whore she is. Y'know.]

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

I don't take orders from women, first of all, and second of all, you don't know the FIRST THING about training men into WARRIORS!
