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.]

I think if this was a dream, there'd be a lot more happy things than sad things, you know?

[webfreedomftw]

... You must constantly have very pleasant dreams.

[hwamei]

When dreams get unpleasant, that's when you call them nightmares. Like this one time, I had a nightmare about Teacher having a huge robot. Ah, but America had another robot... and Japan had one, too! And they all fought in space.

[webfreedomftw]

I... see.

Taiwan, right?

[hwamei]

Yeah! Ooh, so this must be, um... Estonia! Am I right?

[webfreedomftw]

Yes, that's me. It's good to hear from you, despite the unusual circumstances.

[hwamei]

Unusual is an understatement! If only you were here last March... ooh, just thinking about it makes me so mad!

[webfreedomftw]

Wait, how long have you been here?

[hwamei]

November. Ah, but I guess I should say December since I arrived on the 28th... I remember really well, because I was supposed to watch something really important on TV! [ no they're just Korea's music awards... ]

[webfreedomftw]

What year was it when you left? 2010?

[hwamei]

Mhmm, but everyone else said I've been here months longer, I just forgot. They do that sometimes.

[webfreedomftw]

"They"? The people here or the people we actually know?

[hwamei]

The people here, silly. They can wipe out our memories, play with our minds and stuff. It's scary, you know.

[webfreedomftw]

... It sounds it, yes. Do they give any explanation for the way they treat us or are we expected to just go along like mindless sheep?

[hwamei]

They try to tell us as little as possible. Aiyo, it's so frustrating...

There's something else I should tell you, though. [ They're not close, but she feels as if it's her obligation to help him in any way as a nation. ] What's your address?

[webfreedomftw]

946 Beulah Street. If it'll take more than a few minutes, can it possibly wait until this evening? The... younger sibling of the household is bothering me about leaving for school now.
