[voiceofriga]

W-well... this is n-nothing new to me. I've been w-with far worse captors as such b-but, still...

[There's an exasperated sigh a sign that despite all of this he is rather calm. But just as soon as he appears to be calm, Latvia sharply breathes in, startled by something.]I just s-saw something m-move! I r-really don't like this, c-can I be moved s

[What. No one said anything about scorpions. This is officially a deal-breaker; scorpions are basically like poisonous desert crabs, and crabs are ocean abominations with uh...little pinchy things. Austria has gone pale.]

Are...are you sure?

[voiceofriga]

I-I-IT'S RIGHT BY MY LEG! I CAN SEE IT CLEARLY N-NOW!

[elegantvirtuoso]

[AND AUSTRIA SCOOTS THE HELL AWAY FROM LATVIA.]

W-Well, don't just sit there! Do something about it!

[voiceofriga]

[OKAY READY AUSTRIA? HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.]

[ready?]

[Starts. Crying. Well he starts as he tries to step on the scorpion but you see every time he lifts his foot up the scorpion raises it's tail.]

[elegantvirtuoso]

No, no, you are just making it angry now! And then it will come and prick us all, and you're the one who will be paying reparations for it! [THE WORLD WILL END AND IT WILL BE ENTIRELY LATVIA'S FAULT, GOOD JOB.]

[voiceofriga]

I D-D-DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

[The scorpion crawls onto Latvia's leg and he just wails freezes, pleading incoherently for Austria to help.]

[elegantvirtuoso]

[OH SHIT. Um. Um. Well, Austria's obviously not going over there. That would be suicide, since there's a SCORPION OVER THERE.]

Err. ...Shake it off! I-In that direction! [And he gestures with his feet that he should fling it FAR AWAY FROM EITHER OF THEM.]

[voiceofriga]

[HE SHAKES IT OFF AND THE SCORPION GOES FLYING far away from either one of them but as soon as it lands? It's back on it's feet again and is crawling back to the shaky European.

By this time however, Latvia frantically scoots back to where Austria is as fast as he can. OMG IF THIS WERE AN OLYMPIC EVENT RIGHT NOW AUSTRIA AND LATVIA WOULD BE TIED FOR GOLD.]

[elegantvirtuoso]

[AND AUSTRIA AND LATVIA ARE NECK-IN-NECK FOR THE LEAD IN BUTT SCOOTING. Too bad the loser is going to die by scorpion.

Austria is having none of this, so he kicks sand at the scorpion, who happens to be named Rufus, hoping he will get all confused and skitter off in another direction.]

[voiceofriga]

Y-YOU'RE MAKING IT MAD! IT'S G-GONNA GET MAD!

[Rufus just scurries after the butt scooters, not minding the sand because um, HELLO Austria, the sand is it's territory. He's gaining on both wimpy, crybaby nations wishing his twin broski Ralph was here to enjoy this moment of glory because hey I wonder if they'll cry if we pinch them c: ]

[elegantvirtuoso]

IT IS ALREADY MAD, SINCE YOU TOSSED IT ACROSS THE TENT. [We'll ignore the fact that it was Austria's idea. Shh.

It's okay broski, Ralph is right here, popping up out of the sand. You know he can't resist a good opportunity to pinch crybabies. c: ♥]

T-There's another! It called for reinforcements!

[voiceofriga]

I-I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE! AHHHHH! AHHHHHH! [IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AUSTRIA.

c: Broski these crybabies sound delicious, come let us feast on the sound of their wailing.]

T-THERE'S TWO OF THEM! TWO O-OF THEM!

[elegantvirtuoso]

We are not going to die, we- [Oops, he hit the wall of the tent. THEY HAVE US SURROUNDED, OH GOD.

Mmm, so tasty. I'm going to crawl up on this little one here and say hello to his sobs. c:]

D...Don't move, Latvia.

[voiceofriga]

....[OMG AUSTRIA WE'RE GOING TO DIE TOGETHER ;A; IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU.]

[Okay Ralph! c: I'm going to go climb on the one with glasses, his hair looks like it'd be a nice swing set c: And and I wonder if he'd give us Kangaroos if I crawl on him.]

I-isn't it too late to d-do that?

[elegantvirtuoso]

[IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU TOO, FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES. ;O;]

[Gee, I don't know Rufus. He doesn't look like a guy who would have kangaroos. But you go ahead and do that, I'll poke the little one until he cries.]

[AND AUSTRIA DOESN'T MOVE OH GOD SCORPION, SCORPION ON ME.]

[voiceofriga]

[;O; You know what Latvia is so scared he isn't shaking. HE IS JUST KIND OF STARING AT THE SCORPION WITH WIDE EYES]

[Oh bummer, oh well I'm going to pinch his shirt because omg Ralph this is some nice fabric. Pinch pinch musical nation. Pinch. Pinch]
