Long May She Reign

[Rosemary is frowning down at her communicator, looking a tad flustered.] Well... Good evening, everyone. Just thought- Well, it's already- [Sighs and takes a breath.]

Merry Christmas Eve, you lot. Hope you all manage to have at least a somewhat decent day tomorrow. Stay safe and all that. And enjoy your presents.

[Yes, she got people presents. America and ArthurEngland will find hideous, matching sweaters delivered to them ~*mysteriously*~, for one.]

[She looks like she's about done when suddenly she starts to sing.]

God rest you merry, Gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born upon this Day.

[She sings a tad more sweetly than you'd expect from her, and luckily she's got a good voice for this sort of thing.]

To save poor souls from Satan's power,
Which long time had gone astray.
Which brings tidings of comfort and joy.

[She waits a moment and looks irritated.] Goodness, I thought that had finished already.

[OOC EDIT: oh I forgot to add, anyone is free to catch her under the mistletoe, either in her apartment or wondering around Discedo somewhere.]

[Upon the deck of the Weather Hardy, there stands the perfect image of a pirate queen (yes, that's what she's actually wearing) in all her splendor, smirking down at the communicator.]

Yarr, we here be claiming this ship in the name of England. [But, Rosemary, you're a pirate, pirates don't claim things in the name of their country-] If ye be wanting it back, we'll require all your gold, jewels and rum. [Yeah, that sounds more pirate-ish.] Then maybe we'll be considerin' your request, after you've begged a little.

[In the background, a male, English voice can be heard shouting something pirate-ish and those with good eyes might be able to make out the male England dressed similarly.]

In the meantime, you'll all be addressin' me as Captain Kirkland, and any scurvy dog who doesn't will feel the edge of my sword.

... [After letting that sink in, her smirk grows just a little and her voice drops back to her more normal, refined accent.] This is all rather fun, isn't it?

[ooc; Yeah, both England's have "commandeered" the Weather Hardy. I'll be responding to threads but be prepared for viscous threadjacking by Male England on occasion too. This here be lawless waters, savvy?]

[The communicator turns on suddenly as it's knocked out of England's pocket as she goes crashing to the ground, Romana on top of her and yelling in Italian.]

Cagna!

[England shoves at Romana, trying to get her off her, and soon the two women are rolling around on the floor, clawing at each other and fighting.]

Speak fucking English if you want to insult me, you fucking-

[England cuts herself off with a short screech as Romana manages to grab hold of one of her pigtails. England punches her hard in the side in response. Romana cringes and pushes England hard, trying to shove her back onto the ground to get the top position. England scrambles to rectify the situation but tugs a little too hard on Romana's blouse, causing a few of the buttons to break off. Neither of the women pay them much mind though and keep fighting each other, trying to get the upper hand, far closer than they would ever like to be under normal circumstances and panting for air...]

[Until Romana finally pulls back just far enough to give England a good slap on the cheek before England punches her again, this time in the face.]


[There are options here as to how you guys can respond because me and Meg are awesome that way! Put the letter you choose in your subject line and we'll response accordingly, probably in separate threads because time zones are evil things unless the thread demands otherwise. Threadjacking may be involved.

A: The fight is still ongoing when you catch this post and you're all settled in to watch. Maybe grab the popcorn, maybe interrupt. If you pick this option, we'll probably do a three person thread (Your character > Romana > England) until they interrupt them.

B: The fight is over and the girls are left with tears in their clothes and short of breath! Wanna ask them what the hell they were fighting like this for?]

Feel free to critique me here on anything you want! If I've made some mistake in my history, if you feel my characterisation is off, if my typing is horrid... Anything you can think of! For some things it may simply be a case of interpretation, since this England is a separate character to the main canon version, and we'll have to disagree, but I promise to take every comment into consideration!
