...I, um, I guess I should just ask this straight out, right?

So, um, Mister Greece and I were wondering, um, well--

*Holds up a tape labeled 'Denmark', while standing in front of a pile of similar tapes. Specifically, tapes of what was said inside this bizarre thingH-how much are any of you

What is the sound a soul shattering in fear?

W-we just found them on our doorsteps...

Ah. It is a relief to know you and Greece are, at the very least, not the one responsible for the creation of these contemptible tapes; however, you are equally in the wrong should you then knowingly avail yourselves of them.

Please entrust them to me, and I will see they are destroyed posthaste, before any can use them to more malevolent ends.

*Holds one of the tapes tightly to her chest, biting her lip and hanging her head*

I, I'll give them to you.

...If you buy them.

I, I have Miss Hungary's and Mister Prussia's. You, um, probably want to keep Miss Hungary's from being heard, right? OhGodI'msorry.

You would blackmail me? Miss Seychelles, I understand you are a predominantly Roman Catholic nation; again I implore you, cease these reprehensible activities at once. You are disgracing your people!

*is a bad Catholic*

[ladyrepiblik]

...I, I--

*Sniff* B-but what else am I suppose to do?

[edle_sohn]

These are difficult times for us all; however, I can only imagine no matter your financial circumstances you will not be left to collapse. Carry on as best you can. You only do yourself a disservice by stooping to such low tactics.

H-how do you know I won't?

[edle_sohn]

Many have hitherto invested heavily to aid you in your economic recovery; it will all have been for naught should you fall despite these efforts. An enduring stream of donations attests to the fact that there are those who still believe you can overcome your misfortune. Do not lose hope.

I would also have you understand resorting to unsavory methods would disappoint your contributors.

Heart....slowly...cracking...

[ladyrepiblik]

...I, I guess...I guess that's kind of--

...But, but they'd be even more disappointed if I can't pay! They even said that if I can't pay, they'll reinstate the loans in full! I--I have to get the money!

And, and what about Mister Greece? Who's helping him?
