[Today's broadcast is a simple one. Apologies for the spam!]

If I had the materials to produce wine, I would do so immediately.

[private to ALL THE NATIONS (except Germany):]

I want no part in any conflicts here. There is too much at stake. I understand our histories and the differing timelines that add further complications, but as they say, there are bigger fish to fry.

We don't have to work together. In fact, the idea is a little appalling, though I would not be opposed to it. But let us at least try not to leap straight into war.

Let us build our respective areas and watch over our citizens, if we have any on this planet.

[private to ROSEMARY:]

I am in the hospital. If you would like to speak with me in person, that is fine.

[private to ARTHUR:]

Shut up.

I have something to tell you. Will you visit me here in the hospital or are you still glued to Amerique? Either way I will discuss it, whether in person or on the phone, but in person is preferable. That way I can reintroduce your face to my glorious fist if need be.

What will it be, Rosbif?

[OOC NOTE: TAKING A NAP. WILL BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS HOPEFULLY UNLESS I JUST PASS OUT ALTOGETHER.

OOC NOTEX2 COMBO: He's in the DISCEDO HOSPITAL just sulking so if you want to visit, you can!! Doesn't matter if you're a nation or not, he likes company! :) ]

Why should I tell you? I have talked about it enough already! I let slip about the wars, and since I would not tell him the entire story he became furious with me. When I went to Discedo I had to look for supplies and the next thing I know, someone's shot me and I'm getting kicked in the wound.

What do you think?

[hullonurse]

He attacked you just because of that? [Starts tucking in the blankets and then goes to get another one to throw over him. Blankets fix everything.]

Why did you come to Discedo on your own? Even without Germany, it can't be a safe trip.

I live here. I am tired of moving, it's a pain in the ass.

... You don't know what the second war was like, or what the end of the Great War really did to him. I will tell you, but you may not believe me at all, so I don't see the point.

[hullonurse]

[Swats him back and re-takes over making the bed you are sick, you are not allowed to move.] Then stop running all over the place.

... I don't have any reason not to believe you. [That's as close to a "I sort of trust you just a little" you're gonna get, Francis.]

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

Fine. I will tell you.

[hullonurse]

[How the hell can you do that subtly

Rosemary grabs what's left of his hair and yanks on it.] Pervert!

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

--Ow, ow, Angleeerre, I'm injured and sick! Be gentle!

[hullonurse]

I'm being very gentle, your hand is still attached to your arm.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't do that...

Look at those big blue eyes staring up at you imploringly, Rosemary. You're his nurse! :(]

[hullonurse]

[O-oh...

Oh she can't look she can't]

... Just behave yourself. [Sits on the edge of the bed and looks to the side. She can't take it.]

[hullonurse]

[Fuck.

Fuck.

As France's story goes on, England slouches further. She wishes she could be surprised. Europe will never be peaceful, she should know that by now, but she had almost dared to hope that maybe this time they had learned their lesson. But there was always a new generation to forget the lessons of the previous one, though this time it seemed like even that couldn't be to blame.

It's been a few years, but not long enough for the memories of the trenches to fade. Her mind keeps flicking back to them as she hears more.

When France finishes, she sighs and rests her head in her hands.]

... And that's it then? [The horrors of the Great War don't scare them into stopping, they just inspire them to move onto greater, more terrifying wars. Wonderful.]

hee

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

Non... It does get better. The Iron Curtain falls. The Soviet Union collapses economically and tensions between the East and West are far better.



The world power economies are struggling in 2011, but--ah, even Allemagne and I are on good terms, believe it or not. Last year in October, he finally repaid all of the First War's debts. We are strong in my time, and--ah I apologize, Rosemary. I've talked so much. If I could tell you how much the world has changed since the first war, I think I'd be talking forever.

hee yourself...

[hullonurse]

[Rosemary covers the hand on her shoulder with her own without really thinking about it. She nods.] Still rather disappointing to think about but... Very well, I suppose.

[Glances down at France. Well, at least someone is looking better.]

look it's cute shush I can't help it

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

It could be worse.

... The terrible parts don't last Rosemary, and there are plenty of excellent years you have to look forward to. The world continues spinning like it always has, and we survive.

heee war so cute kyaaa

[hullonurse]

I know that. We always do.

... You're alright then? [He seems a bit more relaxed, at least, but she's still worried.]

.... THAT IS SO NOT WHAT I MEANT stop trolling meeee w;A;w

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

It brought back a lot of memories. That is all.

...

And of course I was shot in the stomach and then the head. Dying is awful and so is being human, and I want to ask one of the doctors here when I can have that stupid chip out!

never

[hullonurse]

Or you could just stay out of trouble for an entire week and see how well that serves you. [Though she wants it out too... But she might wait to see what happens when Francis does it first.] Let me know if you do have it done, though.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

Because I asked to be skinned alive, revived only to be sick, then shot and almost reoccupied.

[hullonurse]

[Sighs and rubs his shoulder.] There, there, dear, I know.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

I will be fine, especially under your care.

Merci, Rosemary. I will look after you should you ever need it.

[hullonurse]

[Lets him, for a moment, looking at their hands together... And then snatches her hand back and blushes bright red.] Well... I should hope I won't, any time soon.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

I hope so as well! But should the occasion arise...

[hullonurse]

[Looks a bit confused... Then smiles sweetly at him and turns her hand over so their hands are cupped.

Then she starts to squeeze his hand very tightly.] Why do you keep doing that?

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

A-Angleterre... It--It is just an affectionate gesture, oui?
