ǂ 003 -- blood (phone/action)

[teh_sword]

[There's a bit of quiet breathing over the phone early this morning, like someone picked it up and then lost track of themselves for a bit. When he speaks, anyone who knows his voice will guess that he's exhausted and unhappy, which is weird for Mr Chipper. Spoiler alert: he is rather exhausted and unhappy.It's... really hard to keep track of these

W...well. I was ...acting horribly yesterday.

I-I still don't know why...

[teh_sword]

...d'you remember what it felt like?

[motheringnation]

I....hated everyone. Was a small voice in back of my head saying...saying what I was doing was wrong. But....just couldn't stop myself.

....was horrible.

[teh_sword]

It-- I mean, I'm pretty sure--

It wasn't your fault, okay? How old are you? Did you just have a birthday?

[motheringnation]

We..well my birthday is tomorrow.

Am...ah I'm not really sure. M-Maybe over 1000? My..my people have been around for a very long time.

[teh_sword]

[...okay so that was maybe one of three things that could derail his train of thought.]

...zuh?

[motheringnation]

..ah h-hello?

Are y-you alright?

[teh_sword]

Can, ah, you repeat that?

[motheringnation]

M-my birthday is tomorrow and I d-do not know how old I re-really am? Perhaps over 1000?

[teh_sword]

...uh. Happy birthday, I guess.

Huh.

[motheringnation]

Th-thank you.

I am Ukraine.

[teh_sword]

... "Ukraine?"

[motheringnation]

Ah...yes. Am the nation of Ukraine.

[brb just staring at the phone a minute while that clicks into place]

[motheringnation]

.....hello?

[teh_sword]

...hey. Yes. Sorry.

That's a really pretty name. Uh. Just. Caught me by surprise, there.
