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.

[Pause, a little surprised but he isn't going to argue.]

Alright. ...I-

[Voice] Private.

If it is a persistent matter, then you should also bring it up to the other countries. If you do not wish to, I am willing to do so on your behalf. It could be in our next agenda. [puff]

[Voice] Private.

I- No, no you don't have to do that, its fine.


The truth is most of it doesn't even happen anymore. At least ...not since we've come to Death City.

[puts two together and actually comes up with four]

Hence your shadows statement that he would rather not go back to being Kanada?

[Voice] Private.

[Quietly.] Y-yeah.

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

I understand. [This is the face of sort of understanding.] But I would advise against it.

[Voice] Private.

[Germany is surprising him all over the place today.]

I'm not going to, don't worry. It wouldn't be fair of me to walk out on my people just because of something like this.

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

[Still riding the after-effects of being beaten half to death and finding out one is actually +800 years old.]

I see. Very well, then. But we will fix this.

[Voice] Private.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[Not going to envy you there, Germany.]

...Fix this?

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

Your-- problem.

We can have workshops, if you like, and seminars. Posters will also do. You have shown yourself a good leader in the past, and I do not see why you cannot capitalize on this while in Death City. [v. serious. Sorry, Kanada.]

[Voice] Private.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

[Wait what.]

Capitalize? [Is afraid of where this is going.] I-

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

You must show the others your mettle! You must be more active on the field as well as in administration. Perhaps if you lead troops of your own. You are well-liked by the guests, so this should not be a difficult task to accomplish.

[Voice] Private.

[maplezen.livejournal.com]

You want me to...

Really? Me?

[Voice] Private.

[thebestandwurst]

I do not see why.
