Third Miracle

[beamiracle]

Well, it seems that the effects of our Christmas presents have worn off. Mine has too. For those of you who were kind enough to help me when I'd lost my memory, my name is Ushiromiya Lion, and you have my thanks for your concern.

Also, I know this may seem like a rather trivial thing to say considering our circumstances, but...Happy New Year, everyone. I hope this year we can find new opportunities. Like getting out of here.

[Filtered to any Ushiromiyas that Lion has spoken to]

Does anyone mind if I come over to visit? I think New Year's should be spent with family, no matter the, ah...situation, as it were.

[Action]

[Lion will be headed to the bakery to pick up some cake, figuring he might as well celebrate New Year's somehow even if it's here in Mayfield. Feel free to bump into him on the way there or the way back!]

Well, alright. I see you know my name already, so what would yours be?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

I would be Japan. You may refer to me as Kiku Honda, if you wish.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Japan...?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

I see... so, Lion-san is yet to meet others like myself...

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Others like yourself? What do you mean?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Ah... countries.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Countries?

So...wait. You're saying that you are Japan?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Yes, precisely. I am the country itself.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

...how does that work, exactly?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

You could say that I am a personification of the nation, of the land and it's people.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I see. So you must have a strong connection to them, then.

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

Very much so. A nation's citizens and people are its heart and soul, more so than the land... so, the same goes for me, as well.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I can see why that would be the case. And you say that there are more of you here?

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

That's right. Quite many, in fact...

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Really...that's definitely interesting. A little confusing, I suppose, but...

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

I do not exist in your world, so it is understandable. But rest assured, Lion-san will grow used to it eventually. Surely, sh-- h- you encountered unusual things in world, as well?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

...yes, I have.
