part 370 fresh flowers on a side table in the morning

[aphanon_meme]

Um, 2020 was a year that happened. 2021 is a new year that will happen! With flowers! And side tables! And mornings! And I didn't want to make some sort of 20s-themed name because look what happened in 2020, look what happened.

Enjoy part 370!

Re: itt: share some lighthearted nation jokes

Ahem.

Sounds... Ah, wait a moment.

[Walks away and returns a long time later with a drum kit.]

[Sets up the drum kit.]

[Speaks directly into the microphone.]

Sounds like you were too dim to get it.

[Walks over to the drum kit.]

[Does the bad-dum-tsh sting.]








[Well, sounds like at least the crickets enjoyed that.]

Vee sorry, sorry! It's been a while hehe~ Japan how are youuuu? ♥ Are you having fun with your olympics vee~?

1/2

[jipangu]

[ To be honest a lot has also been happening Japan's not sure Japan's ... even in the right mindset to discuss Olympics right now but ]

[ Wait, where were they, again?!?? ] ( Looking towards the stage Germany set up, then trying to quickly avert gaze before Italy noticed anything, but Germany seems busy/suddenly away entertaining Anonymous right now )

( .... also Italy-kun why did you remove yourself so slowly Trying to refrain from going into Lecture Mode TM. OK but Japan's. Genuinely glad to see Italy Japan's just surprised ) -----

2/2

[jipangu]

( might be coughing just a little bit ) I-Italy-kun, it has certainly been a while...!!

-- The Olympics, though we have put in much effort, just recently ended, so ----

( then trying to divert from that topic ) --- Italy-kun


[ a beat ] ... ( Wait, if Italy's mentioning that Italy also has to be from 'this time' too, right?!? --- )

... Italy-kun, may I ask when is the last instance you remember seeing me ?

[ Japan's curious too, but Japan doesn't want to scare Italy; trying to keep tone neutral!!! ]

1/2

[veeee]

When was the last time I saw you...?

[Thinks for a moment while sitting closer to Japan]

A few minutes ago?

Wait... don't tell me....

2/2

[veeee]

JAPAN DID YOU LOSE YOUR MEMORY?!

[SHAKES]

IT'S A ME! MARIO! I MEAN, ITALY!! JAPAN, YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME?? [SHAKES MORE] DID THE LOCK DOWN MADE YOU FORGET ABOUT ME???

1/2 Italy-kun p L S

[jipangu]

[ ashhdhasdhajhdhsJKL OK YES this is Definitely a Modern-day Italy Japan has An Answer TM ]

[ ok ok sTOP THOUGH S T O P JAPAN CANT TALK LIKE THIS ] I-Italy-kun, please calm down!! -- ( again struggling to breath TM ) I was merely asking to confirm!!! ---

[ suddenly lEAPING AWAY thanks, old Skills TM landing just enough of a couple steps away that Italy can't cling, but enough that they're still directly facing each other; now has arms out in an effort to calm Italy down as if directly saying, "please calm down, it's ok!!!" ] ----

--- Italy-kun, please remember, we must not be directly on top of each other!! ---

2/2

[jipangu]

[ ok but yes, Japan Has An Answer so now Japan can breath slightly too. This definitely... is not the Italy-kun Japan last saw. ]

( Around 2015, during a certain "Battle royale" event ... Thankfully, )

( Japan might not have to bring any of that up, yet )

No, of course, I do remember you! My memory is perfectly in-tact. I meant -- other than at this particular event (of Germany's) of course --- after all, I was 'having to stay inside' for 'a while', and there were preparations for other things ---

[ Wow, Japan is babbling a bit?!? MIGHT BE and also whoooops Japan let Germany's name drop without the ever-present polite -san but hopefully Italy shouldn't notice that even if so right?!??? --- ]

Re: 2/2

[veeee]

Veeee!!!!!

[Okay that was impressive! So he's gonna clap and also try to get closer to Japan again don't fight the hugs, Japan]

Hum Japan... Are you... are you okay?

[He's concerned that all that wheezing might be... something serious...]

[Mun is familiar with the BR even if this Italy isn't, no worries!]

[But Italy just nods, he's just happy to see his friend again;; Specially after lockdown in his country and all that. If there's any change in Japan's speech pattern he doesn't notice]

Mmh, that's good! Yes, I understand! Vee! Mmmhh!

(ok aaa I wasn't sure but /omg/ yeah Japan had A Time TM there with Italy . Yes o/)

[jipangu]

Italy-kun, please remember, though we may be Nations ( and likely have more strength than the average human ), we are not invincible ---

-- I would not want Italy-kun to have something happen to him; after all!...

[ ok Japan did sidestep a bit, but Japan'll allow a slightly less amount of social distancing TM than Japan would have let . Basically anyone not Italy ]

[ Japan seems to have pleased Italy just enough to calm him down at any rate, so --- ]

I -- ( and then realizes Italy was showing actual/genuine concern for Japan's health Oh ) --- Of course, I am taking all precautions. Ah, about my voice, please overlook that. I might have been ( lalalala trying-to-not-give-selfs'-enthusiasm-away-tone ) -- raising my voice a little too much while watching the television recently. ( Implying the Olympics; hopefully Italy will get it ) It is not something I do often, I admit, so I am attempting to rest lately, now that I have the time. ( But Japan cannot deny being cooped up had an effect on Japan too... which is why Japan might have a content look on face now )

-- However, I must say, it is ... very good to see Italy-kun here again. -- Ah, outside of just this one event of Germany's, of course. ( Whoops, there goes the -san again! Japans'. Gotta keep an eye on that ) I apologize for being held up for a while recently, but I may be able to visit again with appropriate distance. We can stand and sit by each other, at least ---

Adjusting the microphone took much more time than the joke...

Re: [2/2]

[Furiously taking notes on his flashcards.]

[Solemn nod.] Understood.

Thank you for the feedback, Anonymous.

Re: [2/2]

[Claps along with everyone]

Veee~! Germany, Germany! I didn't get the joke!

[But keeps clapping anyway! You go Germany woooh!]

Re: [2/2]

[1amkeit]

[Wait a second, he recognizes that voice.]

...Italy?

[You know those slow-motion scenes in dramas/romcoms where the two leads run at each other in a field with their arms wide open and smiling carefree and everything? That's Germany right now as he runs at Italy. He's just happy to see his friend safe and sound.]

[...Except, the closer he gets, the more the smile fades. And turns into his perpetual frown. Because he remembers something very important.]

ITAAAALYYYYYY!!! Forget about the joke! Where have you been?! By my reports, you've missed the last 4 Meme World Meetings! I'll send you the minutes via e-mail, make sure to study them thoroughly so you're caught up!

[1/2]

[veeee]

[He's not sure what's going on here but...

Italy extends his arms out, frolicking through the meme flowers as the slow-mo music starts playing out, letting himself get caught in the moment~*＊✿❀]

Veeeee, Germany~ ♡

[He's happy to see his friend again as well!]

[Except...]

[2/2]

[veeee]

[The moment he sees that smile turn into a frown and now all he sees is a gorilla stomping all over the flowers, the romantic music turning into one straight out of a horror move as he makes a U-TURN to find the exit ANY EXIT OH GOD!!!]

I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY GERMANY PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!! I HAVE FAMILY IN GERMANY AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! SAVE ME, GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [2/2]

[1amkeit]

Wha-

[Oh no, he forgot how fast Italy can be.]

[Time for the music to change from horror to Yakety Sax as he gives chase?]

DAMN IT, ITALY, I'M NOT GOING TO KILL YOU!! NOW GET BACK HERE! DON'T JUST LEAVE WHEN YOU JUST GOT HERE!!

[Or he's going to have to yell that he missed Italy.]
