Fourteen Sickles

[vodkadrinksyou]

[He's humming a little bit as he puts the finishing touches on his fir tree. He's got to decorate for New Year's, doncha know? The horrible, agonizing pain ended a little while ago, and to celebrate this he's opened up his bottle of birthday vodka. The best gift is one you give yourself, sometimes.]

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four....

[Looks like she hasn't slept in a couple days. Or bathed. Or... well, anything, really. Seems to be a little twitchy. Focusing on him carefully.] Russia...........

[vodkadrinksyou]

[Ut oh.]

Hi! What's going on?

[stained_wing]

[Her eyes relax just slightly as it's someone she recognizes.] This body is wearing down...

[vodkadrinksyou]

Oh. That's bad, yes?

[Blink. Glances at his many vodka bottles.]

I don't think this is going to work. Is it?

[stained_wing]

... sustenance would be good... food and drink... perhaps...

[vodkadrinksyou]

Oh! Then this will work! Hold on, I've got soup, too!

[Hands her the vodka, and quickly returns with borscht. Complete with sour cream!]

Ta-da!

[stained_wing]

[Just... stares at the bottle. Like it's going to grow wings and fly away. Oh hey, soup. This doesn't require conscious effort to consume! NOM]

[vodkadrinksyou]

[^_^]

Is it working?

[stained_wing]

... tastes good... [NOM NOM NOM probably hasn't eaten since last time he saw her lolz]

[vodkadrinksyou]

Oh, good! Lithuania finally did something right!

[^_^]

If you need anything else, just go get it, yes?

[Hums as he puts up another ornament.]

[stained_wing]

[Mumbles as she eats.] ... human tradition..?

[vodkadrinksyou]

No, just one of mine. But it ought to be, yes?

[When the world is his, then everyone can celebrate like he does.]

[stained_wing]

... human traditions are rubbish anyway... [NOM etc. Stops for a moment to dab her mouth with a napkin.] ... a drink... would be appreciated...

[vodkadrinksyou]

They can be sometimes, yes. Just a second, comrade!

[You know what really comes in handy these days? Shot glasses. Especially when, like Russia, you have infinite bottles of vodka just lying around.]

See? Very helpful!

[stained_wing]

[Looks up from where she is devouring delicious soup to take the glass. Hm. It's kind of small. Then again she is probably dehydrated or something and small amounts of water are necessary. Wouldn't have pegged him as someone to know that, though... no matter. Good thing for Russia the strong flavours of the soup mask the liquor or else he'd be in trouble...]

[vodkadrinksyou]

[It's very helpful, yes. In the meantime, he goes back to humming as he puts more ornaments on his tree.]

You'll feel much better soon!
