[Event 1] is wandering outside in the rain. It felt nice~
England
is
walking in the rain as well when he spots a small girl in a distance. Chivalry forced him to grab the largest possible leaf he could find_
_at the moment and run up to her, offering it as a substitute shelter.
blinks in surprise as there's suddenly a lack of rain, and turns to look at the one doing it, a little confused. "Hello..?"
"G-Good afternoon. It seems that you have unfortunately got yourself caught in this rain s-so..." He looked up at the leaf. "This is not_
_much but it will make do for now."
glances up at the leaf, nodding a little in understanding. "Oh, thank you," she replies, bowing a little. "Though I am already quite wet..."
she says, looking down at her soaked kimono. "Won't you get wet too this way?"
looked down at his shirt, which are too big for him, as well. He shook his head. "I am tough, so I will be fine. Besides, it is a_
_gentleman's duty to be nice to a lady."
"Well thank you for being so courteous," she smiles softly, bowing a little in thanks.
shook his head and looked around. "Should I walk you home so you could get out of those wet clothes? It would be terrible if you caught a_
_cold, Miss."
nods a little. "Ah, if you would like to, I would not mind..."
managed a small, polite smile. "It would be my pleasure to. Mind if I ask, what *were* you doing in this rain?"
hums a little. "Wandering... it was warm, and the rain felt nice.."
walked beside her and lets her lead the way to her house. "It does," He agrees. He liked the rain too, he wondered why. "A-Ah. How impolite_
_of me. I believe I have yet to introduce myself. My name is Engwand."
walks with him, studying him a little. "Oh, nice to meet you, Engwand." She didn't mispronounce because of her own accent, but in
mimicking him. "I am Japan."
could feel her eyes on him. He fidgeted a little, uncomfortable with the attention. "R-Right. Japan, pleasure to meet you."
Sakura
is
just interested in him... particularily in his blonde hair. She had never seen hair of such colour... *A*
England
is
visibly uncomfortable now. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "I-is something the matter?"
blinks at him. "You have very strange hair," she replies, straight faced as always.
blinked in response as well. "I-I could say the same for you. You are the first person I have seen with such a dark coloured hair..."
shakes her head. She couldn't believe that, considering dark hair is all she knew. "Yours is the colour of the sun.... may I touch it?"
gave her a strange look but quickly recovered and nodded hesitantly. "I-I suppose...?"
hesitates a little, knowing it was weird but she really just... wanted to touch it. She reached up shyly, petting his hair a little.
"It's....so soft... *A*" Comparitively, at least.
looked at her as she reached up to touch his hair. "I-Is that so...? U-Uhm..." He was beginning to feel a little awkward now so in order_
_to distract himself, he slowly placed a hand gently on her bangs.
flushes a bit as he does so, retracting her hand now in embarrassment. "S-see, my hair is not as nice as yours..."
shook his head. "N-No. It is soft as well... And really dark and thick." It just stood out to him since he was used to seeing lighter_
_shades of hair. He retracted his hand after a minute, blushing in embarrassment. "S-Sorry, I should not have done that without asking_
_first."
blushes a little still too, but shakes her head. "...i-it is okay, I did the same to you. We are even now," she nods a little.
"A-All right... I-If you say so..." He smiles a little and continued to walk, careful to completely shield her from the rain.
nods a little shyly, before looking up at the leaf. Without saying anythign, she reaches up to help hold and it gently manouvers it to
half cover them each.
blinked when he did not feel the rain hitting his skin. He looked up and then to Japan. "A-Ah thank you... B-But your sides will get wet..."
shrugs a little. "This way we will both get half not wet at least," a hint of a smile plays at her lips.
smiles a little as well. "T-Thank you." He continued to walk as close alongside her as much as possible.
blushes lightly as they walk at how close he was to her, trying to nevermind that as she notices the house she had been staying in ahead.
notices her noticing the house ((xD)), he pointed towards it. "Is that your house?" It looked different from what he was used to.
shakes her head. "It is Korea's house. But I am staying there."
nodded and lead her towards the house. When they were sheltered, he puts down the umbrella. "There you go, Miss."
smiles a little, lowering the umbrella with him "Thank you, Engwand-san." She glanced at the door, wondering if Korea would mind her
inviting him in until the rain stopped.
saw that Japan had not yet went into the house. "Is something wrong, Japan?"
looks back to him. "Would you like to come in until the rain stops?"
"A-Ah. That would be lovely, if you do not mind my intrusion."
nods a little, pushing open the door. "Of course not." She was sure Korea wouldn't mind.
nodded as well and walked into the house. "Thank you for you invitation." He gave a small smile at Japan.
smiles a little at him, being sure to push the door closed behind them. "This house seems really magical," she comments, glancing around.
looked around as well. "Magical...? What do you mean?"
"Water can come out of the walls!"
"W-Wait... What?!" He looked around again. "I-Isn't that the rain water leaking from the outside?!"
shakes her head. "Korea turned it on when it was not raining..." she glances towards the kitchen. "There's also something in there that
heats up without fire..and something that stays cold even in the warmth...." *A*
furrowed his eyebrows, how was all these even possible? "T-That is quite amazing..." He commented. "May I see them?"
nods, glancing around before leading him to the kitchen. She pointed at the oven. "That's the hot one.." She couldn't reach the dials to
turn it on though.
studied the piece for a minute before turning to Japan. "What does it do?"
"Theres some sort of control up there to control the heat.. but I can't reach it." She steps over to the fridge and shoves it open with some
effort. "This is the cold though!"
looked between both the objects. "Maybe we could take some of the cold things and put it in to the warm thing?"
blinks, looking back and forth. "I am not sure...." She didn't know if Soo Yeon had them sorted for a reason.
"Time to find out then!" He decided and began to rummage through the refrigerator.
nods, pushing open the door more and looking inside at the assortment of weird looking things. She gazes up at it wide eyed before rummaging
through the bottles in the door shelf.
looked through the bottles as well. "Let's pick one each." He found one clear, glass bottle labelled Cheongju and decided that it looked_
_interesting enough.
nods, pulling one out as well, a nice red bottle of ketchup. "Okay." ((what's that?))
"Now, we put it in the hot thing... I can press the buttons." He easily leapt up on to the counter to reach for it.
((The Korean equivalent of sake o3o It's rice wine.))
nods, taking both the bottles and watching him hop up. "Oh, okay yes." She sets the bottles down to pull open the large door for it and
shove them in. "...do I leave it open or shut?"
England
is
not sure either. "Well, maybe we could leave them shut for a moment before opening it." He had already pressed the button.
nods, letting the door close itself again with a rather loud startling sound, backing up a little. "S-sorry."
shook his head. "It's fine." He jumped off the counter and stood beside Japan to look at the thing go. His head slightly mimicking the_
_turning action.
nods a little, glancing back at the bottles they could see through the light in there. She was eager to see what happened.
saw nothing interesting happening to the one he picked. Japan's on the other hand... It was trembling a little. "Is it moving?"
stares at it. "I.... I think it is...." She took a step back, worried about it.
did not notice her reaction. "Maybe that means we can open it?"
hesitates a little, watching in. "I think... yours seems to be a little off as well...? (( 
))
))
"I suppose mine took a longer time..." He walked towards the hot thing and was about to reach out to open it... ((Woah ;A; ))
"I-I got a bad feeling about this..." She startles as the lid expands and pops off the top of the alcohol bottle, grabbing England and
pulling him back...and hiding behind him.
England
was
taken by surprise as well and jumped a little. "W-What happened?" He shifted a little and held on to Japan's hand to comfort her.
clings to him. "S-something happened...!" She says obviously, watching the bottles continue to expand and buble and overflow with wide
eyes. "S-stop it...!"
gave Japan's hand a final pat to assure her that everything will be all right even though he was a little terrified himself. B-But he was_
_a gallant gentleman! He gritted his teeth and tore away from Japan. He pressed the button from before, hoping it would stop.
steps back again when England lets go of her hand, startling a little as more popping sounds come from the bottles
before the whole thing comes to a halt. "...s-si you get it...?"
..*d-did
"I think so..." He stepped back and watched for a minute to make sure. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing else was_
_happening. Although... He looked into the hot thing to find a mess. "O-Oh dear..." He was afraid that Japan might get into trouble...
shakes a little, keeping an eye on it. "T-that thing is terrifying.... let's not touch it again...." >3< She wasn't concerned about getting
in trouble.... Korea had said she would take care of everything for her, yes?
furrowed his eyebrows. He was feeling a little guilty. He was a guest here and yet... "M-Maybe I should try cleaning that up." He offered.
shakes her head worriedly. "N-no let's leave it alone, maybe it will go away.."
eventually complied, seeing that Japan was frightened of that thing. "O-Okay... I-I am sorry..."
nods a little, turning to leave the kitchen. She would have to keep an eye on that hot thing. "Perhaps... the wall water would still be
nice to us?"
followed after her. "Perhaps it would..." He agreed. "Do you know what it does?"
shakes her head, leading him up stairs. "Korea turned something and water just came out into the basin..."
walked up the stairs with her. "Maybe it is for drinking and washing..." He concluded.
considers this, and nods. "Yes I would think so, I had a bath in it yesterday," she comments, leading him into the bathroom and
pointing at the bath. "That."
nodded in acknowledgement. "A-Ah yes. I had a chance to use it in America's house as well." He looked between them, they were soaked with_
_rain. "Would you perhaps like to take a bath?"
blinks at this, looking over at him. "Well I did just have one yesterday, but it did feel nice...perhaps that would be best." She
nods. "Will you join?"
blinked once, then twice... Then spluttered. "W-W-What? I-I meant that you take one first b-before I take mine."
blinks at him. Mutual baths weren't weird. "Oh no, then the water will cool and you won't get to try the warmth..."
supposes that is true b-but still! S-She was a lady! He flushed, feeling his face getting redder by the minute but kept silent, too_
_embarrassed to speak.
stares at him, noticing his face getting redder, and gently reaches up to touch his cheek. "Are you okay? You look ill...."
turned even redder at the touch. "Y-Yes, I am fine! Thank you for your concern."
nods a little, pulling her hands back. "If you say so...you can climb in the bath first, I'll get the soap," she comments, looking in
the cupboard for the bottles they had used before, not realizing they were on the edge of the tub already.
took his clothes off and quickly got in to the bath. He then realised that the water is clear. He looked around, spotted the soap and_
_poured it in, swirling it round to create bubbles. All settled. "A-Ah, Japan... T-The soap is here..."
blinks, pulling another bottle from the cupboard. "Oh is there..?" She asks, toddling over and glancing in. "Oh well... two people, so twice
as much, right?" she asks, dumping a fair amount of the bubble bath she had found by mistake in instead before moving to remove her
own clothes.
immediately looked away and glared at the wall. He had never seen a girl's body before and he was *not* intending to! His blush, if_
_possible grew fiercer. He kept quiet and remained frozen still.
semi covers herself and daintily climbs in, swishing around the water a bit and surprised the bubbles were building this time. "Oh.. this
didn't happen last time.." She barely registered that England was frozen in place.
England
is
very self-conscious and began to panicked. W-What did not happen the last time? He wanted to look! B-But! He continued to glare at the_
_wall, not making any sign of moving any time soon.
smiles a little, frothing up the water more. The bubble bath had caused a nice amount of bubbles to gather in front of her and
block from his view anyways. "The bubbles are piling up this time..."
"B-Bubbles?" He stuttered and looked down to see white foam around him. Unconsciously, he began to look round as well, forgetting that a_
_girl was in a bath with him. When he realised, he looked up with a renewed flush. "S-Sor--! Oh..."
giggles a little at his reaction and amused by the bubbles. "Help me?" she says, swishing the water around some more. She was trying
to see how big the bubbles would get. ((...yes I am trying to make a mess *u* ))
stared for a moment before reacting. "R-Right..." He began to mindlessly mimic Japan's motions and swirled the water around, watching as_
_more bubbles form, slightly amused. ((Let's doo eeettt >D ))
giggles. She had put quite a lot of the soap in there, and so the bubbles were quick to form among the water. Soon they were up
to her head, and she fashions herself a hat. >u<
chuckled at the sight. He was feeling less self-conscious and was enjoying himself with the bubbles. He tried to model two hare ears_
_drooping from the sides of his head.
glances up at him, smiling at the sight. "Are you trying to be a bunny?"
returned the smile and nodded. But the action cause the two ears to drop off. "Aww... And yes, I like hares."
giggles a little as the ears plop off. "Rabbits are very adorable, I don't blame you."
nodded again. "They are! I have a pet hare named Harry!" He proceeded to put the two ears again.
smiles at him. "That's adorable." *u* She hums a moment, before deciding to try and stick bubbles to the wall instead.
began to throw piles of bubble to the bathroom floor. He wanted the room to be filled with them!
doesn't notice what he was doing, trying to fashion a cat in bubbles on the wall. o3o
continued tossing bubbles onto the floor until the whole area was filled with them. He turned to Japan and was about to ask her to play_
_in it when he saw the cat on the floor. "That is an adowable cat!"
blinks over at him when addressed, and smiles at the compliment, glancing back at her lopsided and sliding off portrait. "Oh thank
you!" She notices the bubbles on the floor though. "What are you making?"
returned the smile. He then looked at the pool of bubbles on the floor. "Not weally making anything. Just that we could have more bubbles_
_now!" He declared and proceeded to stir more bubbles from the bath.
looks over it and laughs. "Oh, good idea," she nods, helping him stir up the bubbles again.
stood up after some time, forgetting that he was naked in front of a *girl* no less, and jumped into the pool of bubbles on the floor.
blinks up and blushes a little at the full on frontal she got,looking away a bit in favour of putting more bubbles on the walls to make
silly pictures.
England
was
unaware of Japan's reaction. He was nearly fully submerged in the bubbles, only the top of his head showing. He then began to slide around.
hesitates, but dares to glance around, and giggles at the sight. That was a lot of bubbles *A*
peeked out at her from the top of the bubbles. "Do you want to join in?"
blinks at him, before nodding."I think so," she says, dumping more bubbles on the ground before attempting to daintily climb out of the tub.
immediately looked away when she was climbing out, suddenly remembering that she was a girl. He tried to hide his blush by submerging his_
_face into the bubbles.
slips down into the bubble pile, squishing some with her hands. She had never seen bubbles that could last so long, so this was kind
of amazing. *A*
had never either. The bubbles were really big too! So it was great for playing with. He was now blowing at the bubbles, making some float_
_up into the air.
giggles a little, joining him in doing so, laughing when she accidentally blows a chunk of them onto his head.
shook the bubbles off his head, laughing as well. He was now beginning to snowball the bubbles and throwing some at her, having a little_
_too much fun with this.
blinks a little and laughs when she's hit, gathering a handful of bubbles too to throw back at him.
pretended that the throw had a lot of impact to entertain the lady. He dramatically spun around and fell to the ground.
laughs at this, squirming over to him in fake concern. "Oh no, are you okay good sir~?"
shook his head and held up a hand. "I am quite all right, beautiful Miss." He laughed a little inwardly at this act they were having.
smiles at this, taking his hand and helping him up. "Oh I am glad, then."
"Thank you." He said as he was pulled up. He put a polite bow into the act, but quickly regretting it because he got a good scan as his_
_head tilted down. He flushed and looked away awkwardly.
flushes a bit, definitely realizing that time and sinking a little to cover herself in bubbles again.
scurried over to the tub. "I-I guess I should be washing up now." He forced out a nervous laugh.
"O-oh, ah..." she nods a little. "I suppose we should end this, yes..."
nodded as well before getting into the tub. "A-Ah do you want to wash up before I do? I-I will turn the other way..."
hums a little and shrugs. "Ah, which ever you would like...."
"R-Right. I will go ahead first then." He turned on the water and quickly washed the bubbles off himself before bashfully, and quickly_
_taking his clothes and moved out of the room.
waits for him, before clambering back into the tub and following suit, rinsing off and trying to get dressed. She needed help with
tying the obi though, and fidgets a little, unsure if she should ask for his help.
thought Japan was taking a little too long so he decided to check on her. He knocked on the door gently. "Japan, are you awright?:
startles a little at the knock, hesitating a moment before answering. "W-would you uhm, help me...?"
flushed, hesitating as well but he could not just possibly leave a lady alone when she had asked for help. With that, he slowly open the_
_door, but was relieved when he saw that Japan has already put on her clothes. "What do you need help with?"
turns a little so her back is to him, holding the obi around her waist. "Could you tie this, please.....?" It didn't occur to her that he
wouldn't know how to do it properly like Korea did.
"U-Uhm... All right." He agreed, not wanting to throw his pride and appear clueless by asking how to do it. It should be simple, right? He_
_took the fabric and did a left over right, looping it up and finishing with a simple butterfly knot.
doesn't notice anything strange...until he finishes it really fast. She blinks, turning to try and see he back. "You did it that fast....?"
blinked at her and removed his hands from the material to let Japan inspect his handiwork. "Y-Yes..." He muttered, a little unsure of_
_himself.
hesitantly reaches around to feel it, obviously unsure of what kind of bow this must be. "A-ah well.. thank you.." she smiels anyways.
relaxed a little after seeing the other smile, thinking that he had somehow managed to pull it off right. "Not a problem." He smiled in_
_return.
Sakura
is
confused a little still at the way he had tied it, but won't rebuke him and just smiles.
then realised something. "Do you know what time is it now?" He had initially without informing America, thinking that he would not be_
_gone for long.
blinks at this, then shakes her head. "No...."
nods a little. "It's fine." He said before looking around at the bathroom. "Do you think we should clean this up?"
blinks at this, glancing around. "Ah....maybe....." She looks around. But with what? Her eyes land on the towels. They had gotten them
dry, so it should work for the entire place right?
followed her eyes, landing on the towels as well. "Well, I suppose we could use those."
nods, taking the towels they had just used and tossing them on the floor to soak up the bubbles.
did the same. He took one and began to wipe away at the bubbles. It was working a little but not as well as he would have imagined to be.
frowns when her towel becomes soaking wet, pushing it to the side and pulling down one of the ones hanging up as well to continue.
slid a finger across the floor. It was more slippery than he ha remembered. He was not sure if it was the correct way they should be_
_cleaning this but said nothing.
failed to notice the slippery-ness, and when she goes to stand back up, slips. oAo
looked up when he heard the squeak of the slip. Reflexively, his arms shot out and he managed to grab Japan by the waist, preventing her_
_fall.
stumbles into him, flustered. "O-oh I am sorry!"
shook his head. "N-No. It is quite all right." He was flushing as well, a little bashful from the proximity.
uses him as a support until she's sure she's standing again, blushing a little in embarrassment. "Was the floor that slippery before..?"
"No. I don't think so... Well, it had been slippery but not as much as now. I wonder how it got like this..."
frowns down at the floor. "That's odd... I don't like it..."
furrowed his eyebrows, a little upset as well. "Stay still. I will try and get rid of it." He nodded and proceeded to wipe away at the_
_floor with as much force as he could.
nods a little, bustling herself in so she's touching very little of the floor. She watches him, curious. "Is it working....?"
checked by sliding his finger across the area he had wiped off. It was still slippery but it was *a little* better than it had been. _
_"Y-Yeah..." He replied, a little hesitantly.
smiles at that, relaxing a little. "O-oh, good then..."
nodded a little before continuing his activity. It was not very effective though and he was beginning to feel his strength sapping out of_
_him.
hesitates a little before kneeling down despite her kimono to help, trying to match how well he had done it.
"N-No, Japan. I can manage it." He was worried the girl might slip again and he did not want her hurt.
pauses, not getting up again yet though. "...a-are you sure? You look a little tired...."
shook his head. "O-Oh no. I am quite fine." He replied, he laughed a little. "As a gentleman, I can not have a lady do this."
frowns, slowly sitting up. "B-but..." she dithers. Didn't the ladies do the house cleaning in his country too?
England
thinks
it had been his fault since he was the one who suggested throwing the bubbles to the floor. "I-It's fine..."
shakes her head, returning to helping. "I will help," she smiles at him.
blinked up at her before smiling as well. "A-Awright then... Thank you." With newfound determination, he began to wipe at the floor once_
_more.
smiles thankfully at him, moving to help and scrub the floors. She was still bewildered why it was so much more slippery though.
England
has
no idea as well. Perhaps there are something special needed to clean it? If that is the case, he wondered what that would be...
Sakura
has
no idea either, and just continues this method. it seemed to work..
agreed and continued. "Well, it would seem that it is a lot less slippery now."
smiles, sitting back a little once it seemed like they had gotten the whole floor. "Yes I agree."
"Ah." He straightened himself up and opens the door for Japan for both of them to get out. "I should get going now." He did not want to_
_worry America... If he is.
blinks at this and nods, following. "Oh yes,I am sorry for keeping you..."
shook his head. "Not at all. I came on my own accord after all." He gave her a polite smile.
nids a little, seeing him to the door. "Still...it was nice to meet you."
"It has been for me as well." They were now at the door. He gave a gentleman bow. "I hope we see each other soon."
smiles. "I hope so as well. Farewell Engwand-san," she replies, bowing back.
"Farewell, Miss Japan." He gave a smile before heading out the door.
