Kymmenen ♰ Video/Action

[mengee]

[It's rare to see Finland without his trademark optimistic grin, but when the video feed clicks on, his smile is most definitely forced.]

One by one, is it? This is cruel. So I'm next, aren't I? Of course I would be the last one. It's lonely to have everyone taken from you.

[With a small sigh, he tilts his head up toward the camera and tries to make

Comments

[crotchroses]

[Bonjour Fin~ Well okay it's just voice but I mean, who else would this be?]

Bonjour Finlande! You seem so sad, has something happened?

[mengee]

[Suddenly trying to sound optimistic! It's much easier with just voice.]

Moi, Ranska!

I'm just going through a bit of a hard time right now, that's all. I'll be back up on my feet before long, I'm sure.

[But he still doesn't sound particularly sure, sob.]

[crotchroses]

Nonsense! I am here, talk to me. [Look he's legitimately offering, it's been a rough month and Finland is pretty adorable and France's poor heart can't ignore it okay.]

What... what do you mean "you're next"?

[mengee]

[It's a good thing that Finland doesn't particularly avoid France, yes....]

If they're taking us one by one then I would logically be next, right? Unless they think it's fun to watch me like this.

[asideglance]

[He's quiet at this. Ah, one by one and being left alone...

He knows how that is.]

Finland-san...

[mengee]

I'm sorry, I really shouldn't complain. It's hard on you too, isn't it?

[asideglance]

There is no need to apologize. I simply... understand such a thing.

[He was here alone for so long with his family gone. Now some of them are back, but...]

It is interesting. In a way, it makes one stronger, doesn't it?

[mengee]

I'd like to think so. If you made it through then I really shouldn't be so down. It's unlike me.

[prodigal_axe]

[This pings the crap out of him, since he's in a similar boat right now.]

...did it just happen?

[mengee]

Within a span of less than two weeks we went from five to one.

[prodigal_axe]

Damn... Damn it.

[That comes out sounding more weary than sympathetic or angry. It's just this place and its damnable worst habit.

It takes awhile for him to remember what he was going to say.]

For whoever just left? Wait a few days. ...Sometimes you get lucky.

[mengee]

[Give him a moment to collect his thoughts.]

So you've been there too, have you? I'm sorry. Nobody should have to go through that.

[ Voice. ]

[verdantventure]

[ Loneliness ping right there. ]

It'll...it'll be okay. Being alone...it doesn't last forever.

[mengee]

You're right. I should try to be more like you and keep my head up!

[verdantventure]

Mm...i-it'll all turn out all right in the end. It's...it's got to.

[mengee]

You're a strong girl. It'll be fine.

[voice; English]

[fragrancy]

Would you rather go home or have everyone come back?

[mengee]

It would be rude to wish this lifestyle upon anyone, but I think I could get by in any situation as long as I had my friends to support me.

[fragrancy]

[ He's tempted to say 'that's not an answer.' But he's not that cruel. ] It seems like people come back sometimes, right?

[mengee]

That's right. But I'd probably feel really selfish if I hoped for that.
