[Otacon offered up Piplup a Pecha berry, as he focused his attention onto the PokeGear. So, he had been within Johto for a few months now with his buddy, Snake. Yet, Otacon had something bothering him in the back of his mind for some time now. It was an urge he had resisted but could no longer hold it back. Yes, he had failed a long time ago at it but now felt like a good time to try again.

He wanted to go out on a date with someone.

Perhaps, there would be some nice girls he could talk to and ask out? A quiet evening within Violet City or a nice picnic by the lake where he caught his Magikarp? The possibilities were endless, right? His other self had dated Liquid Snake. What could go wrong with him asking a woman on a date? Otacon sighed and felt Piplup nudge him to say something.]

Ok..ok....no need to get tetchy, Pip. I'm about to express my feelings across a network here..oh! Is this on? Damn. [He cursed himself for accidentally switching the feed on too early.]

Uh.....[He composed himself in awkward Otacon fashion. Adjusting his glasses and clearing his throat.]

I'd like to enquire if there are any single, lovely young ladies within Johto who would like to go out on a date with me? Or just get to know me better. I'm an easy-going kind of guy and I love technology and Pokémon. Uh....if you'd like to get in contact with me I'm within Violet City just outside of Bellsprout Tower. I'm always on the video feed on the PokeGear too.

[He cleared his throat again and wondered if he hadn't just made himself the biggest fool within Johto. What would Snake think? He couldn't help it. He just had to follow his gut instincts.]

Thank you.

[France's expression turns near beatific.]

I have been so lucky. Envy and I met not long after he arrived here, and we've been together as a couple for over three years now.

[There's a shift in the expression, something heavier.]

I'm only just realising how special that is for the both of us.

[This is obviously something that's been weighing a lot on France over the past weeks.]

[otakon_geek]

[Envy? What kind of name was that? Otacon wasn't about to become rude though. Envy was a guy too, so that meant this guy was either bi or gay.]

I'm happy you managed to find someone, Mr?...

[francia]

[France is essentially panromantic if he considered orientations a feasible usage for himself.]

[He blinks before a laugh escapes him, a bright, cheerful noise.]

I'm the Republic of France. Yes, as in the nation, state, and country itself. The best way to describe what I am is that I'm like a personification of the people, land, and culture and all else that entails.

[otakon_geek]

[He was named after a country? An interesting way to name your child.]

I've never met anyone named after a country before. I guess if I were named after a country it would probably be Japan. [He smirked. The clue was in his name.]

How did you go about finding your love?

((OOC: Sorry for the late response; chicken pox as an adult is an anvil))

[France coughs.]

No, I am the country. I reflect the essence and idea of it. My body is literally a mirror of the landscape.

[He smiles, a little lopsidedly.]

Well, we went about it a bit backwards. It wasn't romantic in the beginning, more physical attraction. That was pretty easy to establish.

Re: sorry to hear that :(

[otakon_geek]

I'm just a little confused as to how a person can be a country. [This really was a whole other world.]

So, you asked the guy out on a date first? Or did you not want any romance?

((OOC: I'm doing much better now, so it's all good ^^))

[France's lips quirk.]

I have spent my entire life contemplating my existence in some manner or form, and I can't say I'm any closer to the answer.

[He laughs a little.]

It was more of an encounter of mutual attraction, if you get my meaning. We talked some through the 'Gear first and when we were both in the same town for the first time arranged to met.
