July 18 [Video / Voice]

[thebestandwurst]

[Video flips on for a few seconds before Germany curses and puts it to voice. You can see for a moment there that he's been beaten up a fair bit, like he's been on the losing end of a bar fight. Bruises on his face, one eye swollen shut, split lip, split skin on cheekbone, a welt under an eye, dried blood under his nose and ear. Not looking so handsome there! And mighty panicky, too.]

[Voice]

What is going on? Why is the church burning and where is my brother? Ungarn is also not in the Communal, as well as a number of others. How many shadows have infested the city? Italien and I have just run into ours, but they have been driven off.

[Warily, you better not follow...]

Yes. Where else would he go?

[Video]

[thebestandwurst]

Point. [No, he has not plans to, yet.]

[Video][Shadow]

[ih8spiders]

That is weird. You and your brother are weird. You don't even know my background, and yet you claimed me so readily--not that I don't like what you did, though. It's sort of nice. It almost feels like I have relatives again.

[Video]

[thebestandwurst]

You forget that we are nations. It is not so strange, although the Eastern cultures tend to be more private.

My brother is fond of you. [pause, corrects himself.] Your counterpart. As am I.

[Video][Shadow]

[ih8spiders]

[confused look] I haven't done anything to deserve that regard.

[btw-theymean-no.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's not surprising that my way of thinking is so impossible to understand.

[Voice] Private.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

You want me to...

Really? Me?

[Voice]

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

Okay. [might be a slight sigh of relief. old country can only take so many upstart youngsters.] Then...

Only if you wish to speak-- I have nothing to ask of you. [pause.] Save for, rest.

[Voice]

[thebestandwurst]

I intend to do so. As should you. [persistent]

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

I do not see why.

[thebestandwurst]

Japan has always been somewhat inscrutable to me.

[Voice]

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

... No complaints, aru. [truly.]

[Voice]

[thebestandwurst]

[satisfied little murmur]

[btw-theymean-no.livejournal.com]

It isn't as though it's only to you, after all.

[thebestandwurst]

And to many others. [amends]

[btw-theymean-no.livejournal.com]

[A soft sigh, resigned.]

Mm... I hope that she will be able to assist you sooner rather than later.

He doesn't seem a danger to anyone, just anger... He doesn't seem to be threatening anyone at all, just shouting in a kind of despair a lot.

[Voice] || [PRIVATE]

[thebestandwurst]

You are warriors where you are from, am I correct? It is inevitable. I only hope that you remain strong in the face of your own shadow, or that yours is not as inclined to end you.

[shakes his head, heavier sigh] If Kanda's shadow is not very hostile, however, then perhaps he can make do without the assistance. The trouble is all the other psychopaths in the city.

Your plans of action, Walker?

[Video][Shadow] I didn't see this.

[thebestandwurst]

Why would you need to do anything for your country to be fond of you?

[Video][Shadow]

[ih8spiders]

Isn't it something like a give and take relationship? Bring honor to your country and all that?

[Video]

[thebestandwurst]

Would Kurapika not fight for me if I requested it?

[Video][Shadow]

[ih8spiders]

He would. Can't stop himself from helping if his aid is requested - or even if it's not requested.

[Video]

[thebestandwurst]

Then there is your answer.

[Video][Shadow]

[ih8spiders]

[Kurapika's shadow blinks, for once actually unable to think of something smart to retort. Anyway, it's not like he has a bone to pick with Germany. He gives the country one last measuring look before quietly ending the feed.]
