part 264 little houses on the prairie

[aphanon_meme]

These past few weeks I've been reading/re-reading Dear America books, and I'm now on one about a prairie teacher in Nebraska... it's reminding me of being little and playing teacher! What was your favorite game when you were younger? Mine is a tie between Peter Pan, where I'd always be Wendy about to walk off the plank and make my brother's friend

Norway! Mister Norway!

/runs up to you and plants microphone in front of your face

How are you coping with what happened to Iceland?

[Blinkblinkstare what]

[Well, he might as well play along.]

Doin' all right now that he's finished with whatever that was. Just glad I don't have t'haul out the magic book or summat.

... 'Less he's gotten himself stuck in something again without me knowing.

/stares at you blankly

You mean to tell me... You haven't heard of the recent events? The poison that Big Brother implemented in his system that killed him fifteen hours exactly past his release?

Re: +1

[iceandheather]

[Stares at anon blankly. Of course, he doesn't believe a word of it.]

No. Can't say I did. 'N he was fine when I ran into him yesterday.

[Those anons. Always spreading lies.]

Oddly calm about it, Norway. You relieved or something? Was he in that much pain?
Netherlands was the one to find the body. Figured he'd console you by now...

Re: +1

[iceandheather]

'S best to be calm when it comes to this sort've thing. Isn't it? No sense gettin' upset in public.

[Well, he'll play along. Just because.]

Haven't run into Netherlands yet. Suppose I'll have to have a word with him on it.

Re: +1

[iceandheather]

You are such a strong man, mister Norway! Even with emotions!

/wipes away a tear

I would hug you, but that isn't your style, is it!
Netherlands should be the first one you go to, definitely. He was looking for you, too.

Hong Kong was lying to him before about him being alive, too. I think Hong Kong is in denial... The poor boy...

Re: +1

[iceandheather]

Aye, ain't my style at all. Glad you realized.

Suppose I'll talk with Netherlands when he shows up. Bound to happen sometime.

As for that Hong Kong... wouldn't be surprised. Kid seems t'have issues.

[dam_stijl]

Yo, is your brother alive?

[iceandheather]

He was last I saw him. Yesterday.

[That Netherlands is asking this question, in light of the above conversation with anon, is somewhat... worrying.]

You seen him since then?

.../goes to read that thread

[dam_stijl]

I haven't seen him since he was stuck in that damn suit. [so...no]

/goes to log it, whoops

[iceandheather]

Seemed right lively. Think he'll be fine. Long's his part in this is over.

[Restrained relief. Nothing to be concerned about, then. ... Much. Until he sees him next.]

WHOOPS.

[dam_stijl]

So he got out, then.

[anon y u do dis]

Hong Kong said he was fine, but - [shrugs] - I haven't seen him around.

Re: WHOOPS.

[iceandheather]

He did.

Mind, haven't seen him since yesterday. [Looks... unsure, as he says it] No reason he should've run into trouble since then, but....

[Now he's starting to doubt himself.]

[dam_stijl]

[picking up on those vibes]

Was it right after he got out? He didn't say anything weird, right.
