[The device catches Lithuania mid-sentence, and the soft sound of skin against iron indicates that he is turning the communicator over and over in his hands while thinking.]

-still ask him. It wouldn't even have to be now - he can't remember, he was younger-

Maybe I could ask Hungary. They mentioned that he was married to Austria, he would know the procedures for nations - might, he... she is the woman [And at this point the device clatters to the ground and switches to video. You get a good shot of Lithuania from below, head buried in his hands, hair in disarray, as if he's been worrying about this for a while now.] I can't do this!

H-Hey! I'm young, and I'm mature because my territory expanded! My people moved west shortly after my revolution, so I claimed the entire continent! Even lands that weren't fully claimed!

I've never... well, it's never come up for me. I know everyone would love to.. well.. that, but since I'm so far away I've always been more or less entirely on my own! Seems like it's mostly for nations who live near each other; after all, what's the point in being married if you can't see the other person on a daily basis?

[Ignoring his 'special relationship' with England, of course.]

....No, not really. I don't pay a lot of attention to what goes on in Europe unless it's something that affects me, like gas prices or war or nuclear testing sites.

Even with a lot of space, you would need people to fill it. [What is overpopulation can you eat it?]

...you can always move in with the other, I guess. I'm already spending half my time in Poland's house back home, and we are only friends there.

Nobody has ever married in your part of the world?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! That's why my doors are open to people who hate where they currently live! They can come into my place for a fresh start!

...Yeah, but I couldn't leave my people behind. And I wouldn't expect hi-..err.. whoever I married to do the same. And aren't you guys close to each other? You always were kinda close, so I figured... I don't know much about where you guys live since it's not on my map, but since you lived with me your house has to be sort of near mine!

And my part of the world is mostly me, my brother, and Mexico.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Then you really are a lot like Poland! He has a lot of immigrants like that, too. Or people that don't find enough space to live in their homelands anymore.

I must admit that I don't know where your house is located, but since I never heard about you before coming here, it can't be very close. ...Even if you got married, you could live in both your houses, and change your residence every other week?

Is your brother here?

[voice] fjdskgkfd that icon is so cute

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

...huh. I didn't know that!

I'll have to show you on a map! Well, my place is the only one on my map, so it'd be easy for you to learn about! And plus, you're from olden times, so I wasn't born yet!

There's no one I'd.. I mean, if I would even consider.. it'd have to be beneficial to me, after all! And considering how I'm a super power, it'd have to be someone who comes close to my strength and influence!

Actually... no, I don't think so. He was here a while back, but I think he went back home.

[voice] I love chibi nations so much XD

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

A lot of people in his place are from one of the nations in HRE's borders originally. They go as far as Muskovy's place to find land.

We could ask one of the other nations for a world map from your time, and find both of us on that, if you don't mind?

Not in this place. Here it is only about you and them and your feelings. It doesn't matter if they are humans or nations, or what their status is.

I can't remember having met him... is he your only family?

[voice] me tooooo omg [1/2]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

....huh. Yeah, you... wait, a 'world' map? There are maps of the world?

[voice] [2/3] oops I lied

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

...Th-that.. well, that's.. this place doesn't.. heh, not that I have to worry about that, because.. because I don't! I.. umm..

[voice] [3/3]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Canada's my brother. We share an unprotected border. I guess he kind of looks like me? Kinda boring though to look at, but he makes me pancakes!

England's my... ex brother, I suppose. We're not family anymore. France also counts too, I guess, despite the fact that he's really useless.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

At least we have them in my time... Maybe they became unusual later on?

Well, from what I've understood, we have no soil here and no citizens, so decisions like that shouldn't be influenced by them. ...No bosses either.

Pancakes?

Why would France be useless? And I can't imagine how you can cease to be family.

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

I only have maps of myself in my house!

...yeah, I know. Well, if it ever comes up, I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah! They're... well.. pancakes. I guess I'd have to make them for ya to understand 'em. I can make them better than he can anyway!

He just is. Never supports me in any wars except the world ones, and even then his back up skills were horrible. And... well, we're not.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

We could compare maps.

I will try to offer any assistance that I can, should it ever be necessary. Maybe in exchange for pancakes?

I guess that he is occupied with his own wars. [Oh Alfred. Where was France during the 7 years war?] ...there was more than one World War?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Okay!

I don't... [There's a pause.] Sure.

[Fighting as a colony doesn't count, and usually France is always against England and America kind of got in the way. Fighting over Florida. Those pedos.]

...yeah, there were two. Two official ones anyway. There were some that some humans called world wars but.. the history books officially label two of them with that name.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

When would you be free to look at the maps?

[l-lol oh God I never thought about it that way.]

When was the other one?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

...whenever, I guess. I'm not really doing anything for a while.

1939, not very long after the first one. Lasted about.. six years.

Did you ever find out the answer you were looking for?

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I would be free tomorrow. We can meet up in one of the tearooms?

That is the one where Germany became strange, isn't it?

[Pause. Thinking really fast, and then nodding shyly.]

...I-I did, in a way. But I still have a question. You said that I lived with you for a while... I did I ever talk about Poland?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Sure!

His boss made him weird; forced up his military and stuff. Actually, him and Japan both were weird, but I got them back to normal, at least!

...Poland?

[Thinky silence.]

I... yes, occasionally you told me stories about you guys, but otherwise you try to help me clean out my closet.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

But they both seem like quiet, hardworking people to me!

...what was your impression of... what do you think that he meant to me?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

They are now. Because I fixed them! Their bosses made them crazy, made them do horrible things. But they're better now, and now they're my friends!

Considering he was one of the only nations you spoke about besides your brothers? I figured he meant a lot.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear.

...And today? In your time, I mean. Or... [not really daring to flat out ask what he wants.]

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Of course! I like them better when they're my friends!

Not much has changed? I don't see how it would, then again I've always been focused more on my own issues than the problems in Europe.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...

Did I mention any girls that I liked?

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

Not to me?

I mean, for a while, I thought that Poland was a girl. And ya didn't really stay with me for long.

[voice]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Why did you think that?

[Because of the way in which I talked about him?]

[voice]

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

He preferred to wear skirts instead of getting naked?
