[video] Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride

[ciao]

[ now that the video feed has stopped showing slow cinematic shots of gelato you get to be greeted by a certain nation just smiling and waving as happily as could be. sanguis season is here again and this time around he seems to simply be sporting the fluffy ears, the littlest fangs and what looks to be an excited wagging tail in the background ]

Ciao, cia~o~!

How is everyone? Doing well I hope! It's been a very active time recently, hasn't it? The weather also seems to be warming up a little more, so doesn't that mean it's time for a certain something to help you relax?

Although, I guess any time is a good time for gelato for me!

[ he laughs, waving it off quickly enough ]

I'm always making gelato and other sweets, if anyone ever wants a taste you should definitely ask! I'm always more than willing to share, and it makes me happy to see people enjoying things. But that aside, I did have a question in mind.

[ he brings his hands together, looking thoughtful for a moment before perking up once again ]

What sorts of flavours make you think of home? Or even, what kind of flavour would you like to look for in gelato? I'm always experimenting, so having the opinions of others is always great to work off of! Since we have so many people from so many different places, it seems like a great chance to try something new and exciting!

[ hands planted on the counter-top he playfully pushes himself up on it, leaning in excitedly to the camera ]

Also! Do you think gelato affects moonblessed the same way it would affect other animals? I've been thinking of making a gelato safe for dogs for Berlitz, because I feel bad enjoying it in front of him and not sharing--Do you think that would be beneficial for everyone as well?

Let me know what you think! I would like everyone's thoughts and opinions, maybe make a little something everyone can enjoy!

That's very nice of you, to be so thoughtful of your friends.

[ he figures off how to show off his COOL DRAGON TAIL on this future tech and then pans the camera back up to his face, now better centered than when he started. ]

Yes, I am Japanese. The Japanese dragons are very beautiful, aren't they?

[ and so is he please continue to praise him by proxy he loves it ]

[ciao]

I just like to help out where I can, I mean there's only so much I could do~

[ ooo boy, look at that panning for some gratuitous tail pic, it's just a moment of awe over this true wonder ]

Oh wow, it's just so beautiful... It compliments your looks very well, truly a majestic demeanor all around. [ way too honest. stop. ]

Mmm... They truly are. I remember stopping when I saw Japan scolding his little one, it just looked so darling I had to stop and help out. It turned out to be all well and good, we got him what he needed and took him to a body of water to be calmed.

[ the things he reflects on, really. no one wants to hear about your co-parenting adventures italy ]

But in general, dragons are very regal creatures, especially those from the east~

[goban]

[ he's way too honest but he's so happy about it, so it's totally fine.

italy tells a cute story and everything but unfortunately we gotta focus in on the important stuff: ]

That was nice of you to help Japan.

[ nobunaga may not technically be his boss but he's sure going to talk like he is. ]

[ciao]

Well of course I would help him, Japan is one of my best friends and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him!

[ oh, but wait...! could this be? is it really?

... japan is making friends... excuse italy if he has a moment of joy and possibly holding back tears ]

Are you perhaps... Are you making friends with Japan?

[goban]

I am Oda Nobunaga, and I will unify all of Japan.*

[ *your mileage may vary ]

[ciao]

...!!!

[ oh look, there's recognition as he leans into the camera ]

Nobunaga, I'm a big fan of your work! You truly are an amazing man--a little different from what I imagined, but no less impressive! I'm sure Japan is very excited to have the chance to talk to you in such a setting like this~

[goban]

[ oh!! it's always nice to be recognized. and yes, he and japan have been doing a lot of "talking" let's put it that way ]

I'm glad that you've heard of me. It doesn't always happen that way here. What is your name?

[ciao]

[ he knows japan wouldn't openly say anything, but he'll assume it's more than talking the more he hears, lbr ]

I'm very well-versed in Japanese history, and you were a very important part of that! So of course I have nothing but respect for a man of your stature~

As for me, I'm Venezia Italia--My home resides to the west. I'm not sure at what point you're coming from if you'd be terribly familiar with my home, I know it took a long time for Japan and I to meet.

[goban]

[ oh!!! he definitely perks up at that. he speaks italian, because that's a fun fact the game gave us, and also he's a huge nerd when it comes to the west.

play it cool, nobunaga ]

I didn't realize you were a nation as well, forgive me. It is an honor to meet you.

[ciao]

[ oh well now! colour italy impressed, as in he's very red as he smiles brightly to the camera as he responds ]

It's not such a big deal, honestly! I'm just glad to be able to have this chance to get to talk to you, and perhaps share some of my food with you if that's something in you're interested in~

[goban]

[ that's cute....stop.... ]

I would like that a lot.

[ not only is italy going to find out he's a huge nerd he'll also learn he likes sweet things he's going to be way too powerful. ]

[ciao]

Then please, Nobunaga, feel free to come by at any time you feel the need. My door is always open, and I always have plenty on hand that I make to eat on a daily basis--though during Cordis it tends to be a free for all in that regard!

[ that bit of a laugh ]

But it would be an honour and a pleasure to entertain you~

[goban]

I will be sure to visit, then.

[ it's a date!! ]

[ciao]

Wonderful! I live at the DNA residence on the fourth floor of the Diurnal building--so any time you have a need, just let me know and I'll be ready for you!
