Dual Post 001 ⚜ Video ⚜ The boat

[The scene that appears seems to be inside one of the Navy housing units. To the right is a man that seems very familiar, one ridiculously fashionable Frenchman. To the left, off in the background, is Portugal, who is busy scribbling on something with his back turned to the camera. France smiles a bit before speaking.]

Allo, mes amis! We are busy working on the finishing touches, mais, with a little help from all of you, Afonso and I just might have a plan to leave this island.

[France turns to look over at Portugal to see how it's going along. Then, he turns back to the camera.]

We are planning on making a boat, in the dead of night, and then sailing off the island. It will hold all of us here... that much has been taken care of. What we need is your help to complete this plan.

Would you stop with the dramatics?

Oh, very well then, spoilsport. [Francis may have just given the camera the teeniest bit of a pout.

Portugal pokes his head up from behind Francis for a moment--he's carrying the blueprints to the the boat in his arms, and despite his tone, he can't hide his smile.]

Allow me to describe what is going on, without the Shakespearean touches. I have been informed that every person here can simply wish for the things they want, so we are going to use that to our advantage. Each person is to wish for one part of the boat, as to not arouse suspicion. I have my plans, here.

[He lifts the blueprints, holding them up.] But as for who is wishing for what, I am not completely sure.

[Suddenly, Francis' head pops up in front of the blueprints, his charming smile having reappeared.] And this is where I will come in, mes chéris!

The Rose district, to the North, is closest to the docks. This means that to avoid as much interference from the Rulers as possible, we will meet at the Rose district, use someone's home to summon the parts, and then send them through town to the docks. Ah, if anyone in the Rose district is listening, let us borrow your homes, s'il vous plaît! The sooner we wish all the pieces into being, the better.


From there, we'll all come together and build the boat in the night. I will be supervising the building, and I need to speak with those of you that have any experience in working with this sort of thing. I tried to make the prints as simple as possible, though.

As for any other issues, I will be the captain of the voyage. Needless to say, I have a little bit of experience sailing off the end of the Earth.
[Now Portugal's smiling like an idiot.] Does that make sense?

Perfect sense, mon ami. [He gives Portugal a little bit of a smile, before turning back to the camera.]

Alors, to sum up: this will all be happening tomorrow night, into the morning of the 24th. Everyone will meet in the Rose district, and those that are building can take the big pieces to the dock first to get started. Then those that are imagine the parts and bring them to the docks will stay. The rest will follow Portugal. And of course, when it is complete, we may all leave this island.

I suppose this is all we need to say about our plan... mais, if you have any questions, please ask! We will be more than happy to help you. Meanwhile we should continue working, to make sure everything is perfect. Au revoir, mes chéris!

[Portugal puts on his most sheepish smile, and he may or may not have fluttered his lashes a little. He definitely knows how to play this game. Especially with England.]

My old friend, we'd be lost without your experience. I am sure you remember, the two of us make a wonderful team on the seas, particularly against those of...a Spanish or perhaps frog like quality. The company of someone sane and well rooted in the technology would be absolutely irreplaceable.

[A mischevious grin.] Besides, we could collaborate in pushing Espanha off.

I suppose I could look over your blueprints before we begin, see if you two are doing things correctly.......

Wasn't that the point of your message, to ask for help from everyone?

Naturally. But this is something far more specific, don't you think? I would never take anyone else at the helm besides an expert.

.............. [look you did it again, Port. England is swelling with pride]

Well. I am an expert. [and yes, that repeat of the previous sentence was intentional]

Ha! Of course. Just don't let that frog get in my way. [he was going to anyway but it was better to be asked]
