Fortieth Entry [Accidental Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[So it turns out that knowing when you grow up everything you love is going to be repeatedly torn away from you can sort of be a big deal. And knowing Poland, he's managed to run into trouble by now

Hey. Poland, you're alright. No one's going to take Liet away.

[reckless_eagle]

They will! They'll take him, they'll take -- take my land my people my language my dignity, everything!

[Video]

[demiurgos_girl]

They won't. Where are you? You probably shouldn't be by yourself. [She eyes the spots warily, though. She knows it's dangerous, but she doesn't like seeing him that way.]

Don't lie to me! Germany told me--he told me it was true, and he totally wouldn't get anything out of lying about it! They'll all betray me--I won't let them hurt us!

[timisnotme]

What the hell are you yelling about?

*Having not left his room yet he has no idea an event is going on...*

[video]

[reckless_eagle]

I won't let them do it! I won't let them take it all away from me!

[video]

[timisnotme]

Let who take what away?

[video]

[reckless_eagle]

The other nations. They... I can't let them!

[unseen_maple]

Poland.... Please calm down.

[Sadly, Canada cannot tell him that everything will be okay, or that none of that will happen. He knows it will happen. Poland will be partitioned, Lithuania will fall under Russia's control, all of it.]

[Video]

[reckless_eagle]

NO! I totally won't! You--you're a nation--you'll turn on me, too! Everyone will!

[Video] 1/2-Feel special, this is probably the longest speech he's ever given to anyone.

[unseen_maple]

You're right, I am a nation. And sometimes we wind up against each other no matter what our intentions are. All it takes is one crazy boss or radical political shift...

But that's a fate we all have to accept. And yes. In the future you will be partitioned several times, you will be invaded, Lithuania will fall under Russia's control. And I'm still a young nation, so I can only imagine what something like that would feel like. But you know what?

[Video] 2/2

[unseen_maple]

You'll survive. And so will he. No matter how many times you were attack or invaded. No matter how many battles you lost. No matter who tried to destroy you, you survived. You rose out of the ash with your strength and identity intact. Not every nation has been that lucky. Or that strong.

I'm not going to tell you that everything will be alright, or that you have nothing to worry about. We both know that's a lie. You're going to face countless trials. But you are strong enough to overcome them. I know that for a fact.

[He stops, kind of embarrassed. Giving a speech like that to a nation that's centuries older than him feels... kind of awkward. But he clearly needed to hear this from a fellow nation, and there aren't that many nations around.]

Poland-san, please be calm, your people or Lithuania-san will not be taken...!

[reckless_eagle]

LIAR! They're gonna take him away--Germany and Russia and Prussia and Austria, they'll take everything away!

[alwaysrec]

They will not, Poland-san. They may have tried at one period, but they do not now.

[reckless_eagle]

It's totally not even like it's gonna be just once! How do you know they've really stopped?!

[He's... somewhat hysterical, and not apt to listen to reason right now.]
