[It was in this moment Nobunaga learned a very valuable lesson about himself. It was one thing for him to be blunt and say his honest thoughts with reckless abandon, but when it was turned around on him, he wound up being the one flustered unsure how to handle it. No matter how dark Topy was, it wasn't enough to handle his sudden blush and the intense desire to hide behind his court fan.] Well, a few people here are like that...
[Oh thank Amaterasu, she's talking about war. Something familiar he can latch onto like a life raft!] That does sound very familiar. Well spotted. It's a sign of great intelligence to be able to apply different specifics and still find the analogies fit for purpose. [He could have phrased that better if he wasn't drunk, but she's smart, so he's certain she'll get it.]
Some of it reminds me of the stories I've heard of America the country too. I would rather like to see this ridiculous country. It sounds amazing. You can usually spot an American of the people on here. They're bold and strong, very colorful, and my two friends are both from there. Klaus Hargreaves is the other. There's also Jeff, Deputy Pratt, Sharky, and they have this thing called Westerns. Because Japan, my homeland is the farthest east of the world. [Shows her his very rough map of Earth, from before he got his globe, with his red Australia directly south of Japan but with so much ocean that until ships get faster, nearly impossible to reach.] And California, on the far West of America is all the way over here! [Shows the other side of the world! Where he has indeed written in California on the map of America.] And the Pacific ocean from this side of Japan to America is nearly as vast as all the rest of this map. [He's very happy about this, because it's amazing, okay okay.]
I have my globe in my room, should you ever to wish to see it. I haven't compared the scale to fix any errors yet, but I added Australia to it. It wasn't discovered in my time. I almost thought Clarke Griffin was joking when she told me about it. It has mammals that hatch from eggs. [Isn't that CRAZY?!]
But even the me that is in my proper timeline, cannot go see California or America. It doesn't exist yet for him. And won't for another two centuries. I wish I could get some history books. Maybe I will take Klaus' advice. He says he makes wishes and somehow they come true. It's too superstitious for me to take seriously, but I would very much like to read up on how America the country came to separate from England. And how England gained power at all. In my time, I dismissed it completely. Its King was so very foolish. He split with the church and divorced his wife, seeking a male heir. This threatened the peace of his island, which wasn't wholly united either. [Points to the small UK island on the west of Europe.] And even with the rest of Europe [Points and circles with the bottom of his pen.] As their cohesion was mostly through their Western religion, they let their Pope decide matters of politics, but he defied him just for an heir. [Shakes head! Such foolishness.]
Perhaps I could find some time period romances, but I really don't like romance literature. [IT'S GROSS. He's a five year old.] Such things are usually what the monks interest themselves in.
Oh! And America was the first to the moon, to have astronauts leave Earth. This planet. Most people here are from there, but not all. There are least a dozen who are not, do not worry. And Billy Joel always sings about American things, it's very difficult to understand him sometimes. Billy Joel is not here. But one of the bars plays his music often. So when Crichton said he wanted to do karaoke, I was not terribly keen on the idea. I don't know any of the music from five hundred years later, how could I? So I listened to a lot of this Billy Joel so I could try to understand it better. I still don't. [Because Billy Joel is 3/4ths incomprehensible to him. With a few exceptions.] But Venti is also a big fan of him. Maybe you will have better luck understanding. Diana Abel says it's because Billy Joel is very working-class. "Blue collar." And the Beatles I like most, are very idealist she says. Beatles is from England, but they are popular in America too.
[And he's just... still going. Steady stream of consciousness exposed. His inner five year old babble of enthusiasm about all the awesome things revealed. The reason why even with his first friend killed he's still happy to be here.] Klaus also taught me about Destiny's Child, and Spice Girls. They're English too! And R&B. [:T] I want to find Crichton when he comes back and punch him. And then make him do karaoke with me. Stupid astronaut.... Americans. I think you will like it more than you expect. Even with the pirates. They're not very tough. And Deputy Samurai Pratt and Maeve would kick their heads if they do anything to upset you. I have to get Pratt his katana too. And name it something cool. And maybe make a song about it.
\o/ Now you just get drunk happy dumbass babbles OTL
