N'rway, K'name, Tetsu, Ace, Flonne, Chopp'r. 'f y' are still alive and not w'th anyone, come t' Marshall 203.

Say who y' are b'fore knocking, F'n 's watching th' door and armed.

[There is a short pause, and then Sweden speaks again, raising his voice slightly, but not to the mic anymore:]

'nyth'ng else?

[There's a moment of silence, and then Finland's voice can be heard, shouting from a small distance.]

Tell them to knock three times, Swe! Just to be sure!

Knock thr' times.

[A loud explosion blasts over the feed. It sounds sort of like a bomb went off because, well... that's exactly what happened.]

[rules_the_north]

'nyone else th're-

[Why Latimir. Why that far away. If it was Marshall, he- no. If it was only him and Finland, he would have been out there and looking for the people mentioned above, and some others, long ago. But they have a child with them, even if the child is a micronation back home and has in theory been born into a war.

But he's also a child, and he cannot leave the boy behind or put him danger like that.]

Good l'ck. [He'd say more, but she needs the time for other things now, like survival. Unless it's one of the random self detonations, but better always assume the worst in this kind of situation.]

Did you just announce that publicly to all of Discedo? So everyone could hear?

[rules_the_north]

Wh't?

[To his defense, the best that he could do would be a 20% lock anyway a.a]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

The people you're trying to avoid will hear!

[rules_the_north]

...

Th' have t' say their name.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have done that, regardless, because now they know where you are. Doors can be broken down and voices can be imitated.

[rules_the_north]

W' 're armed.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

So were other people, surely.

[ Finland's shot hits him in the leg, but he doesn't allow himself to falter, sweeping several shots across the room, aiming for the larger and more visible target - Sweden. ]

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden aims and fires a few times; the aim isn't extremely good due to his normal approach towards firearms, but the distance is short enough to make a hit not that unlikely. He then dives back behind the cupboard to grab a chair and haul it towards the invader, should he come around the mighty, heavy piece of furniture. Which would require him to turn his back on Finland, which is kind of what Sweden's aiming for.]

[rules_the_north]

Most w're alone.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Most, not all.

[rules_the_north]

Th' d'dn't have centuries 'f experience togeth'r.

[They didn't have Finland.]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I'm only saying that what you did was dangerous.

[ And he's worried about Sweden. ]

[rules_the_north]

[He's aware of that- but he'll have to deal with the consequences now. You can't undo such things.]

...

Y' safe?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ Would suggest that he moves elsewhere. But then that wouldn't be any better than Sweden making that announcement. ]

...Yes. I'm safe. Ah, but it seems a few people I know... aren't.

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden would reply to that that you've apparently never been in a fight and completely underestimate how useful it is to exactly know where what is in your place, and where you can and can not go.]

St'll al've?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

[ Tohma would admit to that! He has people. They would fight for him. S-Sakano fought for him. Then he died. ]

Some aren't, no. Their communicators... Chidori-san. Tetsu-kun. Plenty of others....

[rules_the_north]

Wh't happened t' th'm?

[He tried to keep track of people, but it is near impossible with the current situation, and someone that you talk to one day might be dead a few hours later.]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

They're dead.

[rules_the_north]

...

Not b'ck yet?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

No. They're not.

It's like February all over again.

[rules_the_north]

F'bruary?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

The blizzard.

People died, but their bodies didn't disappear.
