[she's just hanging out right now. thinking. she's not looking at the video when it comes on]

There's no way to contact the outside world, yeah? I just would like to wish my sisters a happy Christmas. I hope they are alright... Not that I'm worried about them, or anything. They're strong, like me!

...But still.

[eased] Oh! I have four sisters. They are all older than me except one.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're the youngest! [ Maybe just a little teasing. ]

I'm in the middle, along with Dieci. Ginga and Cinque are the older sisters, with Nove, Wendi, and Touma as the youngest, in that order. [ It's quite obvious that talking about family is lifting her spirits. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

[no! she's in the middle! there's still a smaller sister............ sob] Oh, your siblings have beautiful names!

(ooc: Reading comprehension fail. Pretend she said "At least you're not the youngest!" ? OTL)

[ Big smile. ] I'm sure they'd be glad to hear that. [ And she would tell them, except... yeah. She can't.

Subaru's gaze is downcast then. ] I wish I knew what they were up to, right now.

[britainsbiscuits]

... [her smile fades a bit, and her eyes also flick downward] Mm, I do, as well, with my family. I can only hope they're holding down the fort.

[ooc: lol it's perfectly ok. i'm sorry if i wasn't clear!]

(ooc: No, it's completely my fault. Too much writing today.)

[ Aw. If Subaru could offer shoulder-pats across the Vine, she would. ] I'm sure they are.

[ And since they've talked about this so far... ] I'm Subaru, by the way. What's your name?

[britainsbiscuits]

[she opens her mouth to respond immediately, and then shuts it] ...If I told you, I am not so sure you would believe me... [unless you're not from the same earth]

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ Headtilt. ] Why wouldn't I believe you? Are you famous where you're from?

[britainsbiscuits]

[sweatdrop] A-hahaha. Well, sort of. My name is England.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

Ah, like the country! [ Which she knows on sight but not much else. Maybe her parents just really liked that name... ] Then, are you from Earth?

[britainsbiscuits]

Yes. I... i am the country, you see.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ ...something had to be lost in translation, there. ] You mean you're from there?

[britainsbiscuits]

[sob she shouldn't have said anything] N-no... I am there... I mean, I am England.

[ Buffering... Buffering... ]

...really?

[britainsbiscuits]

.......

Yes, really. [srs]

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

[ She is stunned. ]

How can that be?

[britainsbiscuits]

[shrugs] Unfortunately, it is difficult to explain, and even more difficult for people I don't know to comprehend. My colleagues and I represent the countries of the world. We grow weary when our economy is bad, we celebrate when we win wars. But mostly, we live to protect our people.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

So wait, you're like an... ah, what's that word? [ Subaru gives up a thoughtful hum as she thinks back to some things she had learned as part of her magic training. ] Erm, an "avatar", sort of?

[britainsbiscuits]

[thinking] ...I suppose that will do. Avatar.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

This is kind of hard. [ She scratches her head. ] It must be really difficult for you.

[britainsbiscuits]

[sighs... and then tries to give Subaru a comforting look. England knows it's not her fault] Well, yes. Most of the time, it is. But it can also be very rewarding.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

It is? [ Forgive her; she's new to this concept. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

Hm? Well, yes... [a slight pause, and then she smiles fondly, as though in remembrance, eyes closed] I enjoy seeing my people and feeling their loyalty. When a person truly loves their country, it is truly one of the best feelings. [she opens her eyes once more] And that is another reason I need to get back home. For all the people who need me.

[highest_caliber.livejournal.com]

Then we definitely will! [ Suddenly she's a little fired up. It's one thing to be stuck here when one has friends, family, and comrades waiting for them back home, or a mission to complete.

But in England's case, it's so, so much more than that. ]

[britainsbiscuits]

[she looks surprised at the sudden outburst. but then she becomes fired up, as well. she promised the other countries she would get them out of here!]

Yes! We will!
