Death Before Darkness, if you're reading this, I swear that I'm working on that thing I promised you. I'm very sorrry that swim practice and marching band are kicking my butt too much for me to work on anything with plot.

In the meantime, I'm a little more entertained than I should be by the image of the nations just passing a notebook around and having conversations about unimportant stuff while they're supposed to be discussing world affairs. I should probably get help for that. Alas, I can't afford a professional counselor. I probably could if I owned a super-popular series like Hetalia, but until then, I'm just going to have to rely on the dubious advice of Eggy's voices.


North Italy—
Give me back my goddamn binoculars! I use those to look at birds!
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

AWESOME PRUSSIA~
France has them.
~North Italy

France—
I want my binoculars back.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Dear Prussia,
I'm sorry, but I need them to spy on your brother naked.
Love, France

France—
Wait, are you spying on my brother while HE'S naked or while YOU'RE naked? Never mind, I DON'T want to know. Either way that's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of, and I got my start treating the bubonic plague. You owe me new, UNTAINTED binoculars.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Dear Prussia,
You know you love the image. Don't deny it!
Love, France
P.S. Consider them payment for the bet you lost last week.

France—
I REALLY hope you mean I love the image of YOU naked. It's not true, but it's a little less gross.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA
P.S. I won that fair and square. It's not my fault Spain can't count.

Dear Prussia,
Honhonhon~
Love, France
P.S. That changes nothing.

West—
Learn to shut your damn blinds.
—YOUR BROTHER WHO PROTECTS YOUR HONOR 'CAUSE HE'S AWESOME LIKE THAT, AND ALSO 'CAUSE FRANCE KEEPS PUTTING GROSS IMAGES IN MY MIND AND I WANT HIM TO SUFFER

Prussia-
WHAT?
-Germany
P.S. Do not pass me notes right before I give PowerPoint presentations.
P.P.S. In fact, don't pass me notes at all. Pay attention to the meeting.
P.P.P.S. Disregard the second sentence of the post-postscript. Do not come to meetings. These summits are for nations. You are not a nation. Get over it.

Prussia,
I hate you.
France

France—
You can't hate me; I'm buying you booze next week.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Prussia,
Seriously? Sweet!
… Wait, why are you taking my turn to buy booze all of a sudden? That's awfully nice for you.
~Spain

Spain—
Because the guy who owns the local party store owes me, so I won't have to pay. Don't tell France. It's his incentive to not hate me.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Prussia,
Why does he need an incentive?
~Spain

Spain—
He hates me 'cause I cockblocked him.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Prussia,
It hardly counts as cockblocking if it results only in an interruption of voyeurism, non? Do not give yourself too much credit.
France

France—
I can have as much credit as I want. Know why? 'Cause I'm awesome.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Prussia,
You apparently have no credit at all. If you had credit, you wouldn't need to steal my credit cards.
Sincerely, Austria
P. S. Give them back.

Austria—
No. I'm too awesome to give shit back.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA
P.S. I didn't steal them.

Prussia,
Didn't steal what?
-Hungary

Psycho Frying Pan Woman—
Austria's credit cards.
—THE AWESOME PRUSSIA

Prussia-
If you're going to deny stealing things, you shouldn't brag about stealing them to me. Give them back.
-Germany

West, you traitor—
And after I protected your pasty butt from France's prying eyes and pretended to pay attention to your PowerPoint, too. I am ASHAMED to call myself related to you.
—THE AWESOME BEILSCHMIDT BROTHER

Prussia,
You've got the pastiest butt out of anyone, ever. Just sayin'.
~Spain

Spain—
You would know.
—Prussia

Dear Prussia,
After last New Year's shenanigans, the whole world knows.
Love, France

France—
Thanks for that. I'm STILL getting spammed by Hungary for details.
—Prussia

Prussia,
Really? I thought France and I had given her all the details.
France,
Is there anything we forgot to tell her? Are you holding back any pictures, perhaps?
Sincerely, Austria

Dear Austria,
If I am, then they are for my personal use only.
Love, France

Dear France,
Hey, no fair! I share all mine with you!
-Hungary

Dear Hungary,
What about the ones Japan took?
Love, France

Dear France,
Yep.
-Hungary

Dear Hungary,
All of them? Even… those ones?
Love, Austria

Dear Austria,
Um. Maybe.
Love, Hungary

Dear Hungary,
If I weren't worried about my throw pillows being crushed, you would sleep on the couch tonight.
Love, Austria

Dear Austria,
I always knew you didn't love me like you love those throw pillows.
Love, Hungary

Darling,
No, I love you much more and in an entirely different way than I love the throw pillows.
Love, Austria
P.S. That doesn't mean you're allowed to rest any part of your body on them.

Dear Hungary,
Austria/throw pillows?
Love, France

Dear France,
Ew, no. His throw pillows =/= sexy.
-Hungary

Dear Hungary,
With the right mindset, anything can be sexy. Take England, for example.
Love, France

Dear France,
Have you SEEN his throw pillows? Blech.
-Hungary

Dear Hungary,
You said you liked them.
Love, Austria

Dear Austria,
Maybe in the fifties, but now? They've had good lives, darling. It's time to let them go.
Love, Hungary

Dear Hungary,
The day I accept that is the day I accept that "rap" counts as music.
Love, Austria

Dear Austria,
Come on, sweetheart. We'll go shopping together!
Love, Hungary

Dear Hungary,
I will not abandon those throw pillows. Do you know how difficult it was for me to acquire them without bankrupting myself?
Love, Austria

Dear Austria,
YES, I know how hard it was for you to get the throw pillows. You got up at 5:30 to get to the sale, letting cold air under the covers in the process. You brought home EXTRA throw pillows so that when the first set wore out, you'd have more that matched. They're still cluttering up your attic, because the first set is still intact, because you never let anyone use your throw pillows for what pillows are SUPPOSED to be used for.
Love, Hungary

Dear Hungary,
One day, those throw pillows will be worth something. You'll thank me then.
Love, Austria

Confidential to Prussia:
I know you have designs on Austria's throw pillows (the ones he and I both love and whose loss would just. Break. Our. Hearts.) so I'll tell you right now that he has a spare set in the attic (in a box behind that armoire he never uses because he's afraid of the squirrels in it,) so burning the ones in the parlor won't do you any good. Also, we moved the kerosene to the top shelf, so you'll never be able to get to it without a ladder.
-Hungary

Dear Austria,
Tomorrow, my love, I'm going to introduce you to that wonderful storehouse of bargains known as "the Internet."
Love, Hungary
