Wanted:
Understanding house/flatmate.
Must be some form of non-human.
Please respond privately for further information.

I am the Nation of Japan. As you say, the representation of the land and its people in human form.

But congratulations, by the way. I'm going to add you to my growing list of "strangest things I've yet to meet here".
written; private
...It isn't very strange, actually.
However, perhaps now you see what I meant by inquiring to the type of non-human you were requesting?
written; private
But yes. I suppose I understand what you're getting at. The distinction likely still doesn't matter much, though.
written; private
If it is not too forward or rude of me, might I ask what type of "non-human" you are?
written; private
[A little more well-known, he imagines.]

Or more like England-san's variety? It can be difficult to keep the stories apart.
written; private
But if it helps, I currently reside in England.

[....but wait.]
. If you are a vampire, does it not make obtaining .sustenance difficult here?
written; private
Or rather, I prefer to do without it, hence the need to avoid humans.
written; private
. Or do you not eat at all? England-san never mentioned that part of the story.

[Says the obsessive collector.]
Have you had luck in finding appropriate accommodations yet?
written; private
The flood of recent arrivals seems to have stopped, and there's no one else here.
[So it's safe, though it still sounds like the proper set-up for a horror movie. He can't stay here much longer.]

I currently reside in Community Housing 2, first floor, Apartment #5. However, there are two humans that live two doors down. If this is not a problem, I would not be opposed to hosting you so long as you do not mind my early hours.
[Because living with a vampire? Awesome. He could have something to talk to England about then. Or America. So long as America didn't try to stake him.]

[Sadly, that's something he has to veto right away.]
They are filled with human residents. The smell of them, all of those bodies in such close proximity, would be unbearable. It would be like telling a recovering alcoholic to live next to a wine cellar.

It must be very hard to be stuck in a place like this. I apologise for the inconvenience and burden that Luceti has placed upon you.
written; private
Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the country of Japan is so polite...
[Yeah, still struggling with that one.]
written; private
[Usually. He looks at the journal for a moment and hesitantly taps the page.]
I am sorry for my intrusion, but might I ask your name?
written; private
[...]
So do I just address you as "Japan"?
written; private
It is an honour to make your acquaintance, Yorke-san.
written; private
[He'll probably call him "Japan" anyway.]
And... likewise, I suppose.
written; private
England-san and I are still on very good terms, and since he is absent, it is only right that I help care for his citizens.
written; private
I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
