At this time in my home, many would be celebrating a star festival... Tanabata.

One would write their wish on a small piece of paper and hang it on bamboo. The specifics aside from that vary, but I suppose I am wondering... What sort of wish would everyone make?

-Japan

[Oh he likes you already now]

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

[Gasp, really?! YAAAAAAAAY]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't want to get kicked out of school...]

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

[THE MOST OBLIVIOUS]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[LMFAO pause...]

[A few minutes later, as promised, Danny is sitting in the quad waiting for his old man text companion to show up.]

[Japan's already there, glancing around for this mysterious D.M.

It's probably hard to think of him as an old man when he looks 18 though... But if he spots Danny looking around for very long, he'll bow.]

Ah... D.M.-san?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Oh! Um, yeah. That's me. You're...Japan?

[That is a pretty weird name, but hey, people do tend to give themselves pretty bizarre names online!]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

That's correct.

[He bows, a completely straight face.]

Ah, that is all there is to it. I am the country of Japan.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

[Blink.

Blink blink.

Blink.]

What?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...I am the Empire of Greater Japan. Ah... it seems that is difficult for many to believe... I usually do not have to bring it up.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

But...Japan's a country. Like, a giant landmass. And you're...a person.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I am the, ah... personification, I suppose you would say.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

...Ohhhkay...I guess that makes sense.

[in a really fucked-up 'I somehow got transported to a world where magic exists' sort of way.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ahah, forgive me if I was too blunt with that information. What should I call D.M.-san from now on?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. Call me Danny. That's what the D part of that stands for.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Very well. Pleased to meet you, Danny-san.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

It's good to meet you too...uh, Japan.

[Yeah, sorry, he's still getting used to conversing with countries.]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...There was once a time when my wish was similar to yours. So perhaps we can share in that.

[...And okay even though he was kind of sort of subtle, that was embarrassing, so he'll just glance down now.]

Danny-san is welcome to join the others and I as we send off the wishes tonight.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Oh, heh. Right. So...did your wish get fulfilled?

...Wait--really? I can send the wishes off too?

[HE IS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO LOOK ELATED AT THIS]
