[So hey Splendor, if you hadn't already gotten enough new arrivals there seems to be another one staring blankly out at the city from...well, he's not quite sure where he is really. Its a rather lavish hall, one that he's pretty sure doesn't just pop out of the ground and go unnoticed. In fact, Russia's not quite certain of how he got here at all.

[ Firo spends more time than is polite staring at the person in the seal. They look familiar... But he knows they're not from home. Maybe a dream. That assumption doesn't make Firo feel any less crazy. Cautiously- he's afraid this is just a delusion- he speaks. ]

Yeah. It's on. And I'm guessin' you're new.

[immamartillo]

I dunno, have we?

[ He meant for it to come out as challenging, but it just sounds anxious. ]

[Russia crosses his arms, confused and anxious.]

It feels like it. [He falls silent for a moment.] I'm Russia, but my human name is Ivan. You are?

[Video]

[immamartillo]

Ivan.

[ The name feels even more familiar than everything else the man has mentioned so far. ]

I'm Firo Prochainezo.

[ It jogs his memory with something else, which he mumbles under his breath: ]

Sunflowers..?

Re: [Video]

[za_rodina]

Firo?

[Suddenly Russia is reminded of sloppily bandaged wounds and promises he'd sort of forgotten. He inhales sharply, startled, and barely catches the whispered 'sunflowers'. His voice has a bit of a shake to it:] They're my favorite...

[Video]

[immamartillo]

Yeah... You already told me that.

[ He growls and smacks his forehead. ]

What the-? This is weird!

Re: [Video]

[za_rodina]

[He groans, feeling a headache coming on] I did tell you...didn't I?

[He's silent for a moment and then stares straight at Firo, a calculating glint in his eyes.]

Do you remember anything else?

[Video]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo shuts his eyes and replies to Russia's first question with just a nod. When he opens them, he's welcomed with a look that he definitely remembers. ]

I remember you bein' a creepy bastard.

Re: [Video]

[za_rodina]

[Russia blinks and then he laughs.]

Really now?

[Video]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo stares at him, too surprised to fight from spilling out things he's suddenly remembering. ]

What? It's your definin' characteristic!

Re: [Video]

[za_rodina]

I'm certain that I should be proud you remembered. Oh great Firo Prochainezo of the Martillo family. [He smirks, an amused little glint in his eyes.]

[Video] 1/2

[immamartillo]

[ He's instantly on guard at the mention of his Family, especially since it hasn't come up yet in the conversation. ]

What do you-?

[Video] 2/3, sorry!

[immamartillo]

[ But he did tell him, just not recently. Firo suddenly remembers now. ]

It...

[Video] Done

[immamartillo]

[ If this guy remembers him too, that means he's not crazy, right? Even if that's not true, a friend is still a friend. ]

...Ivan? It's you?

[za_rodina]

[Russia smiles, relieved that the hazy memories aren't just his crazy acting up again.]

Da, Its me. Its been a while Firo.

[immamartillo]

[ Firo's smile grows a little wider, and then his face darkens. ]

I hate to say it... but I don't think I remember all of it.

[ He sighs ]

I thought it was either a dream, or I was crazy.
