part 102 reasons to smile

[aphanon_meme]

I'll never not be amused when you guys break the comment limit on LJ. I've actually never seen that happen before here, though I'm sure somewhere it has. But still, it makes me a bit giddy.

Enjoy part 102! ... 102. 102!!!

Hello, Meme.

I'm here to apologize for my recent absence. I have no excuses for not attending to my duties here for the past few parts, and I hope you will all forgive me.

[maidoitsu]

...O-of course.

[reitgerte]

When you are ready to begin, you will kneel -- [marks a space with the tip of his boot] -- here. And choose a word.

/so late

[maidoitsu]

[kneels down, knees perfectly in line with the spot indicated and stares at the floor]

I trust your judgment--any word you choose will do. It's not as if I should have any right to choose for myself.

you try my patience >|

[reitgerte]

You are giving full control to me. Interesting.

Very well. The word will be Apfelstrudel, and you will speak it when you feel that the situation is no longer comfortable.

/sob

[maidoitsu]

Apfelstrudel.

[nods his understanding, keeping his eyes on the floor]

...stop that ;;

[reitgerte]

[Walks around Germany, eyes narrowed, and places his riding crop down on the floor behind him, too quiet to be heard. Stands directly in back of him and places one boot on his spine.]

Re: ...stop that ;;

[maidoitsu]

[stays quiet and keeps his back braced against the foot, breath catching in his throat]

[reitgerte]

[Compares, for a moment, Germany's stability and his own balance]

[Draws his foot back slightly, and then pushes it forward, with as much force as he can]

[maidoitsu]

[startled, falls forward with the force, dropping his hands to catch himself on the floor.]

[bites his lip against noise]

[reitgerte]

[Somewhat surprised, but manages to keep it from his face; keeps pushing down] On your stomach.

[maidoitsu]

[hiss, but otherwise stays silent as he does as told the best he can with the foot on his back. face flushed with embarrassment.]

[reitgerte]

[Half of his weight is on Ludwig's back. He listens for his breathing patterns]

Can you speak?

[maidoitsu]

[concentrating on breathing evenly]

...Yes.

[reitgerte]

[Glances over to the whip, and then to Germany's cat-eared head]

Put your right hand flat on the floor, and slap it when you cannot breathe.

[Steps onto Ludwig's back, over his lungs, most of his weight on one foot]

[maidoitsu]

[places his hand flat and waits, unsure]

[panics when Austria steps on him--it hurts and all the air leaves his lungs momentarily. Once again, focuses on breathing, trying to even it out--giving up now would be pointless. His left hand curls on the floor]
