A: 946 Beulah Street

[Hey, parents. One of your kids isn't what he used to be. This is probably best seen by the way he's creeping around the house with the lamp he unplugged from the nightstand in the room he woke up in, assuming this a dream or a prank, but ready with a blunt object and a fairly good swing should the place turn hostile.]

[The ferocity with which he prays he isn't the person in question....]

Estonia?

[...]

I knew it was you! You almost had me, too, using Hungary and all.

Wait, I didn't do anything! You have to understand! Would I do something like this?

Well... [Estonia lets out a breath, deflating a little on his end of the line.] No, I would hope not. But it makes more sense than the alternative.

I hate to say it so bluntly, but at this point you really have no choice other than to believe in the alternative....

It's kind of selfish of me, but I'm glad that you're here.

... Finland, how long have you been here?

Nearly a year and three months, actually.

[Almost completely nonplussed.]

[There's a terribly long pause.]

I saw you a week ago. You e-mailed me yesterday.

See, the strange thing is that everyone here is from a different time. Maybe that's why we all appear to be the same back home? It's strange and I don't really understand it at all.

[He sighs lightly.] Knowing that you have e-mail must mean that you're from around my time. That's a relief!

It is strange. [But why are you so excited about how strange it is? Finland, you weirdo.]

It was May of 2011 for me. And you?

Early 2010, but it would be May of 2011 for me too! Well, if I were at home, that is. Thank goodness!

In any case, you'll probably be able to figure this place out a little faster than I did. Plus you'll be able to get some of your things back in the mail over time!

Mail? What sort of things could I possibly be getting back in the mail?

[Aside from his glasses, of course, but these work just as well and don't keep sliding off his face, so he supposes he's not allowed to complain about them.]

Your clothes, your laptop.... anything you can think of from back home! There isn't any wireless internet or cell phone access here, but it's kind of hard to imagine you without your laptop, don't you think?

[The sound that follows may or may not be identifiable as Finland (lightly) slamming his hand against a desk in excitement.]

And guess what else? I have a box of mobile phones that we can use for a contest! Plus Swe built me a sauna a while back that we can use. And there's a bunch of salmiakki and vodka and stuff back at my place! How about we go drinking soon?!

Fin, you do remember those hundreds of years before computers were invented, right? [It's a very soft teasing, though. Finland's enthusiasm is often contagious.]

But drinking sounds good. Very good. Sweden's here?

vaimoksein May 20 2011, 06:28:43 UTC
Of course! How could I not? [It's a good thing that his rambling isn't, if nothing else.]

Not anymore, no. [The small laugh that follows sounds just a bit forced.]

... I'm sorry. Are there many of our kind that get brought here and then are permitted to go home?
