[deciding not to be a backyard hermit for once, Hao has taken the opportunity to sit on the front porch instead... only to be attacked by a wall of photos fluttering down the street as soon as he gets there. picking one off of the ground, he pauses for a moment before grinning widely.]

How interesting.

[...oh, and anyone who can sense spiritual

[May or may not have a small collection of photos in his hands and is shuffling them about nervously.]

Да. Interesting.

[discoinfernorz]

[staring at those photos, Russia. staring like a predator.]

Those are yours, I take it?

[kol_shevik]

[He looks at the pictures like he's just seeing them. My goodness how did those get there, my gracious - stuffing them in his coat now, one or two flutter back to the ground.]

Oh sure. Mine. Russia's. Definitely. Television is showing strange things too.

[discoinfernorz]

Oh? We gave away our television. What's wrong with it?

[he's extending a hand towards you now]

I could take care of those photos if you'd like.

[trust him do it do it do it]

[kol_shevik]

...I Love Lucy is running late.

[Staring at that hand, Hao. Staring like a predator. They don't call him Paranoid Ivan ironically, you know.]

Why would I do that, little Comrade? You have little German to do spying on Russia's house for you already.

[discoinfernorz]

[ignores the first comment because hermits do not watch the television! and he totally keeps that hand outstretched because he is the best damn neighbor ever.]

Wouldn't you like to get rid of them? And Kanna does that of her own accord. She quite likes trees.

[kol_shevik]

[You just don't understand us, Hao. OH ARE WE LAUGHING Russia is laughing too kolkolkol yes very funny we are good neighbors yes indeed there is nothing wrong here, reaching down to pick up one of the photos he dropped earlier and starts to hand it to Hao. It's one of him and Anya, and unlike the others, he seems completely unabashed about it.]

Trees and watching Russia. Perhaps your little comrade needs better hobbies. Has she found anything interesting~?

[discoinfernorz]

There isn't much better to do here, is there.

[reaaaching for that picture, a smile still in place. d'aww it's Russia and that one crazy red-head that called him a brat and threatened to burn his stuff. how cute. the edge that he touches is melting a bit.]

I wouldn't know, she doesn't talk about you. [aka OHOHO you really think you're so important?]

[kol_shevik]

There is always plenty for a good Motherland to be doing.

[Gives Hao a very brief, but very odd look. Too much radiation leads to some strange things, apparently. He lets go completely of the photo.]

You should bring it up some time! Is only fair. [What do you mean, Russia is the most important Russia to Russia.]

[discoinfernorz]

[d'aww Russia. WELL if you're important in your own mind that's all that matters~

that photo is now being turned over in his hand again before it turns into an unhealthy pile of goo that drips from his fingers. yum.]

Aa, I suppose a productive mentality can't be a bad one.

[amiable neighborly smile!]

How are your plans to undermine Mayfield coming along?

[kol_shevik]

[If Chernobyl wasn't 30-some odd years away, we might feel a need to seal up the next door neighbors in a giant concrete priso-- wait we want to do that anyways.]

Is better than one that cannot think of anything to do.

[Comradely grin!]

Will have Town Hall by next Tuesday.

[discoinfernorz]

[d'aw, so mean. and here all we want to do is burn your fe- burn your hou- burn you be a friendly neighbor and you've got to go insulting the rabid German. also, here is a look of extreme skepticism with a side of sarcasm to go with it.]

So soon? You must be working quite hard.

[kol_shevik]

[Aren't you an adorable little Capitalist. It's okay, a little time in Siberia would sort you out quick.]

That is what happens when I do not spend all of time watching neighbors through windows!

[discoinfernorz]

[siberia means nothing to us!]

Aa, really now. I suppose hard work is good for those who have no fallbacks.

[thoughtful pause]

Though someone else does seem to be quite fond of window-watching at your house. Strange girl.
