♠ 6th; [video]

[unionjackass]

[England appears onscreen, looking exhausted; though at least presentable enough. That is, aside from his hair which is dire need of a cut--it's grown a few inches since he's first arrived. Again, he looks presentable--just downright tired.]

I must apologize for my last broadcast, I-- [he clears his throat and his cheeks color slightly] -- such a display was highly unnecessary and again I do apologize for having subjected you lot to that sort of uncouth behavior.

...

[AWKWARD PAUSE. Don't worry though everyone, he does this all the time.]

Far be it from me to be rude or intrusive--certainly no intent of the kind!--If you happen to be a native of the British Isles and have not spoken with me yet, I humbly request--er--I firmly request you remedy this as soon as possible. [Because apparently it's a crime for a nation to admit he wants to look after his people. Even though doing so is simply his nature; but admitting this or showing this would imply affection and he can't allow that. It's all got to be business, and that's just how it is!

He gives a stout nod as if that odd request and his stately tone explain everything.]

[private to America]

[This has taken him ages to say, and even now he's fidgeting uneasily.]

Lad. We--ought to talk.

... [England swallows and squares his shoulders, feeling that wasn't quite enough, but--What else is there to say? Over the network, anyway.]

In person. I suggest the park in your district. It's rather nice.

[private to Rory, BBC!- and movie!Watsons, Prince Prat Arthur & the Bros of Camelot]

[he adjusts his collar with a bit more flair than necessary, making up for the stately way in which he asks,] Gents, I believe it's high time the lot of us had a few drinks together. Sky's Prize, Loki District.

If you wish, bring someone else with you as well. I would hate to be the only group there and, the gods wish us to spread color and culture and all that nonsense, don't they? [He crosses his arms over his chest and the look on his face is skeptical, but it's clear (if you're decent at reading people's behaviors) that he wouldn't mind company--only that he refuses to admit this out loud.]

What do you say?

[private to Merlin]

... Could we meet? Er-- I have things to discuss with you--about-- arrows.

And. Other weaponry.

... Nothing else, of course; and if it were something else it would be purely hypothetical!

Outside the Library, perhaps?

(OOC: ps- going to put up an OPEN LOG for shenanigans in a bit. Everyone, not just the people he spoke to, is invited! :D

EDIT: THE LOG is up!)

Er....

Audio;

[unionjackass]

. . . Well?

[private video]

[dragonspeak]

[...arrows? Weaponry? Well, it's true England's been teaching Merlin how to use the crossbow, but he wouldn't make a filter just for that.]

Er, sure, I have some time.

You sure there's nothing wrong?

[private video]

[unionjackass]

Wrong? Why would anything be wrong? [Silly Merlin. SILLY MERLIN.]

Are you free now?

[private video]

[dragonspeak]

[Nice try, Albion.]

Asking to meet up and being dodgy about weapons? What couldn't be wrong?

voice;

[redroseprince]

Um...yes?

I...I believe we've spoken before, but...is there any particular reason?

[Pause.]

...I'm sorry. It's merely curiosity.

voice;

[unionjackass]

No apologies are necessary--and we did speak briefly, yes. I was simply curious as well--

I'm England, head of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

voice;

[redroseprince]

...England? Like....the country?

[Oh dear she is a normal British girl how is she supposed to handle this.]

[white_raven]

Why do you want to speak to that group of people?

[unionjackass]

... Why not?

[white_raven]

Usually people have a reason for that kind of request.

[video]

[the_good_doctor]

You already know my thoughts on this.

Sky's Prize ... I don't believe I know it.

[video]

[unionjackass]

It's a bit... more modern, but it can cater to anyone's tastes by range of drinks.

I can't say I don't miss having a pint in your day. [England allows himself a proper but nostalgic sigh.]

[video]

[the_good_doctor]

That'll be why then -- I prefer the pubs in Thor in Odin. Small, but the atmosphere allows a chap to unwind, tell a few stories.

If that's the case, I should introduce you to my home away from home. The Lion's Foot.

[apropergoad]

[ Looking for English people, you say? ]

And who could say no to such a firm request. May I ask who's making this demand?

[ He sounds wry, but not really put out or anything ]

NO IDEA HOW I MISSED THIS slkjfsd

[unionjackass]

[You're quite literally speaking his language. England's mouth flickers into something of an amused smile he's trying to hide.]

Your country, that's who. I'll have you know that I'm anything but mad.

oh i see how it is

[apropergoad]

It's far from mad to seek out one's countrymen. Forgive me - I suppose you're the Prime Minister in your world?

vidya

[highstakesgame]

Uncouth behavior? I must have missed something interesting! Do tell!

[unionjackass]

[N O P E]

I'll not breathe a word of it if you don't already know. Such a thing is beneath me at any given time.

[maybe that explains why he spent that night on the floor over his waste bin. Just maybe.]

[doctors]

[ you don't understand how much he likes this proposition. ]

You had me at drinks.

video;

[unionjackass]

You're not a difficult one to convince. [excellent.]

[Video]

[beyondimagining]

I am from Buckinghamshire, myself.

[Video]

[unionjackass]

[don't tempt him to speak Geordie. That is a can of worms best left unopened.]

Have you got a name, lad?

[Video]

[sublimity]

[Cheekily]

What if one is a citizen and has already spoken to you? Are they banned from responding to this?

[Video]

[unionjackass]

Oh yes, looks as though you've broken some sort of pointless, long-winded law and you'll have to be detained. [His grin says exactly what he thinks of that sort of thing--that it's rubbish and unnecessary; and that he's certainly not here to enforce anything.]
