[tdm + em] what keeps the pressure building, what takes your breath away?

HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

copypasta as per usual

ENABLE MEME

There are multiple ways to use this post:
PLAYERS IN GAME: post who you'd like to play next round or who you're unsure of playing, and then let other people ~~auction your soul off at an affordable price~~ gently push you into the direction of actually apping them come the new app cycle (concrete details later on that).
OR YOU COULD: Ask for castmates, be you in a cast or a lone canon warrior. Think of it like a kind of in game ATP ad.
IF YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE: You might want to? If you do, feel free to post with your account, a picture, whatever you want and let us take you under our wing so you can be a part of our large, rowdy family.

So let the fun begin!

You're quite right about that. I'm not even sure what the date is here anymore. [Which is why dear Hong Kong is being given a frown in return.] I haven't been here in a while, myself.

Yeah- apparently it's been awhile. [ Oh, right. Minako... gloomy feelings coming back........... Better make this hideous again to cope. ]

Oh, so it's one of those where you can't see the bride for awhile before the wedding. I get it. He's exercising self control.

[Just don't even think about that yet... deal with being disorientated instead. Why else do you think he hasn't hit up a pub yet????]

There isn't going to be a bloody wedding. [Too exasperated, that's for sure.] I'm not even sure why I'm even back.

[How many times is this now?!?!] You seem well, at least.

[ Let's go on a pub crawl together, dad. Hong Kong will drink tea though. ]

You're back 'cause he's obsessed with you, but since he brought me back again, maybe he's obsessed with me too. It's our genes.

[ That's not how it works. ]

I'm good. You?

[Ah... are you sure you want to deal with the responsibility that adds???]

We hardly share genes. [Really not how it works.] Though I'm quite alright, I suppose. It's a little difficult to get used to, all things considered.

[ ... for you, Dad, for you. ]

He might not know that. Maybe he wants me for a hot stepson. [ Stop, Honkers, stop. ] Which part? Wait, how long were you at home last?

[Ah, how kind...]

Probably not the case, either way. [Though... hm.] I'm not entirely sure. I remember being back very briefly but I left again shortly after. It must be months at this point. Did you return in my absence?

[ Let's be honest, it's also a little unfair to let anyone else unwittingly get into that situation with dear ole dad. ]

You're in what they call denial, yeah? [ He knows, you know.

He knows. ]

I guess not. I left and was back home awhile, then here again and it was only like, a month or something had passed. Then I went back and I was at the same party as before when I left again, but this time it was like, nearly a year.

[ Landlord is a butt!! ]

[Ah... this is also very true. Not many people should have to deal with a situation like that.]

It's anything but denial. [Don't be a brat?!?! He didn't raise you to be this way etc etc...]

Perhaps sitting somewhere with a cup of tea might be best to assess the situation properly. It seems that either way we're both going to end up with a headache over this matter.

[Landlord #1 butt in Holly Heights.]

[ It's okay, England. You do you. Beeee yourself. ]

I dunno, I mean, he's gotta be lonely, yeah? He basically never socializes at all. [ He's convinced, so there's no changing his mind now! ]

What else is new? [ About the landlord's dealings, not Holly Heights in general. He does like it here... though it's better when he has his girlfriend with him... boohoo again. GLOOMY THOUGHTS. ] Tea sounds good.

[But he's a mess...]

Then perhaps he shouldn't shut himself off and actually stop bringing people here against their will. [YOU KNOW...........]

Do you think Honeybee is still around?

[Will it ever shut down tbh. They're not going to think of girls though Hong Kong... don't worry.]

[ Some people like him just the way he is, golly. ]

Yeah, that's what I mean. He must've gotten bad marks in school. "Doesn't play well with others," I bet. [ Hong Kong has probably been through school many times. And I bet he always got good grading on that one. Other things, probably not.... ]

Sure. Has to be, right?

[ Okay, as long as it's nothing Gloomy. He's so bad at Gloomy stuff. ]

[Wonder why tbh... what trash.]

Must have been terrible in group work projects. I would have failed him, nonetheless. [No matter what bias you might think he has, Hong Kong!!!]

You'd think so. Let's try it. [He'll start walking anyway, it's not like either of them should need directions at this point.]

[ Because they lub him. How's that for mushy?! ]

That's funny, seeing as you're a teacher. [ Teehee. Failing him kinda proves the bias, you tsun tsun, you. ]

Sure, sounds good. [ He stuffs his hands in his pockets and starts walking. ] So, uh, what's happening at home? For you.

[Ah how gross?!?!?!]

That's exactly my point. [Ah don't do this to him..........]

At home? I suppose recently the Labour leader party stepped down and Corby, the new elected leader, is being branded a lunatic. Who even knows what people are thinking these days honestly. There's still a lot of mixed feelings about our involvement in the EU, too.

...It's rather a mess, actually. [People pls.] What about with you?

[ Ew, cooties. ]

I'd be afraid I'd get hit by a ruler in your class. [ On his knuckles, you know? And sorry, it's just... true... ]

Sounds complicated. [ What a teenager. ] China's being a pain, mostly. [ What a teenager. ]

[Lots of them.]

What kind of teacher do you take me for? [RUDE?] Besides, that kind of punishment was abolished years ago.

You'll need to deal with this sort of matter if you wish to keep China off your back, you realise? [2 teenager, much nuisance.]

[ And on the left, children, you see Cootie Mountain, formed when England and Hong Kong reconciled their numerous differences and Hong Kong first called the European nation, "Dad." ]

Strict, but fair, I guess. [ His tsun is showing. He's trying to be complimentary! ] Besides, I'm sure it'd be different with students like me. [ Immortal ones? ]

There's protests and stuff, but he isn't that good at listening, y'know? I told him I wanted to live on my own. [ Ah. ]

[Let's also not mention the piles and piles of feelings that erupted......]

Ah. [He can see it a little more now, at least he's being considered reasonable unlike that old hag China--I mean.] Was I ever that rough while trying to instruct you? Don't be ridiculous.

But you're quite right, he's often rather stubborn. Do you think you're ready to go alone without much in the way of guidance?

[ Yes, dear audience, Cootie Mountain is a very volatile, active volcano. You never know when it will erupt.... ]

'Course not. 'Cause I was so well-behaved. [ HA. HAHA. HA. ]

I trust my people. And we're still doing better than a lot of others, y'know? [ Basically, yes. ]

[That's the problem with tsuns tbh

...though he does actually laugh behind the back of his hand at that, clearing his throat momentarily after.] Ah. Of course. [YEAH, RIGHT.]

Quite true. The situation with Syria is quite tragic at the moment, not to mention how other countries are coping with that.

[It's rather tiring, honestly. Maybe coming here was actually a blessing in disguise.]

[ Sounds like a set up for a sitcom. The Problem With Tsuns.

What, what's that laughing, old man?! ] Like I said, well-behaved.

[ He kicks a rock along the sidewalk. ] Things will get better, right?

[ This is the kind of thing a kid relies on their parent for, right? Reassurance... ]

[Quite a drama, I'd imagine.

And well, it's legitimate??? What's with the joking, child??] If you think so.

Though hmm, I'd rather say so. [He reaches out, pats Hong Kong's shoulder.] And you're quite aware that I'm merely on the other end of the phone if necessary.

[Because who would say no to kicking China's ass--wait.]

[ Definitely gonna be a hit. It can't fail! ]

Shouldn't I? [ He's a challenging kid, no doubt about it. ]

I'll bother you at two in the morning. [ He won't. But it feels like the thing to say to keep from revealing too much of how he feels. Stiff upper lip and all.

No comment about China. ]

[#1 in the world, it'll be...]

Rather not, no. I'm certain most of the time you refused to listen, actually. Though that's -- [a pause] --mostly a thing of the past.

I'll throw the phone at the wall if you call at such an hour, however.

[Of course, take after your Dad and not that loser okay]
