apped into arcanarum; considering DDD

[unionjackass]

There's such a thing as stepping aside when one ought to do so. I eagerly await the day that you let go of this silly charade.

Bloody hell woman, you-- just-- give it up already! I don't want to have any part in these damn games, thanks. How many times must I tell you before you get it through your head?!

[sanskrit]

Steadfast commitment is usually seen as a positive trait.

Namaste, England.

[pledged_to_me]

Oh come now me brother, 'tis hardly horrible.

'Sides, the duck place 'tis bein' a lovely game, wishin' I was bein' able to join it.

[unionjackass]

This isn't steadfast commitment, it's outright foolish persistence!

Um. H--Hullo, India. [w-wow, he can't be irritable at a nice greeting. Never fails, India, never fails.]

[unionjackass]

Yes, it is horrible. I'm not fond of being this girl's plaything.

[sanskrit]

She wants to do something with you, yes? I like to think of it as her showing interest in you.

[unionjackass]

S-she wants to--to cover me in burn scars--! That's not a healthy interest, not a bloody good interest at all!

[sanskrit]

[oh that's unexpected. he doesn't look as happy and quite serious.] She didn't take negotiating well, did she?

[kartoffelstampfer]

[Oh, great. The return of the bothersome island...]

You truly think you have a say in this, England?

[unionjackass]

[ ]

...

Always better to speak up than to say nothing at all! You're stuck with silence and no progress otherwise and I won't be having any of that. Certainly not!

[unionjackass]

She might be convinced to be lenient due to an excessive amount of... "feelings" as she put it.

[nothing is beautiful and everything hurts, man]

[kartoffelstampfer]

You truly must enjoy wasting your time. But, fine. Don't let me keep you.

[He's rather busy after all.]

[sanskrit]

[he thinks about this, but oh, he has an idea!]

Then we should use her feelings in order to gain the upper hand. You might not get a good start, but later on we can profit from this.

[unionjackass]

... You might be onto something there! What do you have in mind, exactly?

[unionjackass]

Funny thing; it's only idiots that waste my time. [giving ludwig a rather significant look.]

[sanskrit]

Well, in most of these rp games, events happen, yes? Maybe she can arrange something pleasant for you if we make her feel like you deserve something fortunate to happen to you.

[kartoffelstampfer]

[Flinch. Oh, darn it. He's just no good at this entire being subtle thing!]

W-Who do you think you're calling an idiot?!

[unionjackass]

Oh, let's see-- [unfortunately, he's talking to an Englishman; the Englishman.] --I don't see any other Germans 'round here, do you? Oh my, I hope I haven't confused you with someone else! [feigning said confusion, he looks around exaggeratedly as if someone else might actually be there.]

--Yes, you. [but, you know, subtlety is overrated anyway.] In case I wasn't clear, it's you I'm naming as a thick-headed sod.

[pasodoble]

I never thought I would hear you say 'give up,' Inglaterra.

[unionjackass]

... [and it all comes crashing down.] We've known each other for nearly two thousand years. You've got to be joking, India--she and, God, the universe itself take far too much delight in having me be miserable, in case you've forgot.

[unionjackass]

[--dammit Spain, of all the times you pick to say something profound--!!]

... Only to those who should.

[pasodoble]

Ah, no matter! ( SAY SOMETHING PROFOUND. . . and immediately brush it off with a wave of a hand and a casual smile, ) If you will not support your mun than I will do my best for the both of us.

Do not give, miss! Do not let Inglaterra bring you down.

matching icons ok

[unionjackass]

W-what-- You wouldn't like it if yours delighted in your misery!!

NO DON'T BE CUTE

[pasodoble]

It's nothing España can't handle. ( Thumbs up. ) Do you see this, Inglaterra?

( Pointing to himself. )

Beautiful ladies are attracted to men with confidence. ( And a wink. ) You're welcome.

( But no one asked for your advice Spain and stop changing subjects? )

[kartoffelstampfer]

You! Gottverfluchter Inselaffe!!*

[If there had been any distance between them, Germany has quickly crossed it and is reaching out to grasp England by the front of his shirt.]

You will take that back!



[[*godforsaken islandmonkey]]

[unionjackass]

[he freezes abruptly, but the expression on his face has flashed immediately from surprise to shit-eating amusement.]

Now now, that explosive temper won't help you. [oh, oh how he wants to curl his hands into fists and smash them into Germany's face--! but he breathes, twitching, because it just... isn't worth it.]

Remove your hand from my person at once. Seventy years have passed for me and I'm not inclined to repeat all that utter bollocks just because a minor insult--one I would gladly give to anyone, mind--happens to bother you so bloody easily.

[england narrows his eyes into sharp, green slits, focusing them unflinchingly.]

Don't. Touch. Me.
