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

Buhhhh sleepy.

[dam_stijl]

[well this is fishy enough to merit his curiousity]

[puts on the headphones, sits down, and squints at the televison set]

Hey. [pauses and licks his lips he'd love to be smoking>] Who's this.

Re: Buhhhh sleepy.

[dam_stijl]

[The person is still probably asleep.]

[They don't seem to be moving but there are tiny black things taking the liberty to crawl all over him.]

[You could always assume it's just bad reception.]

I'm so super-cool-awesome at html.

[dam_stijl]

[frowns at the screen and huffs into the mic - he's gonna try, first]

WAKE THE HELL UP, MORON.

Re: I'm so super-cool-awesome at html.

[dam_stijl]

[There is no response.]

[Suddenly, the sounds change.]

[A deep garbled voice seeps out from the static.]

Greetings.

[dam_stijl]

[blinks]

[wishes he could smoke. AGAIN]

....hi. [swallows, once, and plunders on] So this kid's fucked, right.

[dam_stijl]

My time speaking with you is short.

He could very well die as we speak if he fails to respond to your calls.

I am sure you are aware of what I require in order to save this boy.

Since it seems to have been proven more difficult to convince them.

An innocent will die by their hands.

If no one surrenders these two...I cannot ensure whether you, your sister, your friends, or the rest of the people to be safe.

You've been warned.

[It crackles loudly before the sound returns to Hong Kong's light breathing.]

....I assume I'm replying down there.

[dam_stijl]

[sighs, heavily, as he hears this - "they" can only refer to england and france, as far as he knows]

And there's no way to find - [....the speaker seems to switch to a different user. FUCK]

[his sister]

[he'd turn the world to flames before letting anything happen to her...]

[he hears breathing - ]

Hey. Hey kid.

JUST WHEN THE BUS IS ABOUT TO LEAVE WHYYYY also sorry BB anon idk if I'm supposed to reply or nooot

[xiaolongbaozhu]

[in the silence and stillness of his prison, the last thing he expects is to hear the voice of Netherlands of all people crackling out of a speaker on his collar]

[he gets over the initial shock to manage a weak, almost inaudible reply]

K-keep it down, you'll annoy the scorpions.

I was waiting for you and had decided to entertain your friends for the time being.

[dam_stijl]

HE TRIES TO BE GOOD AND WHAT DOES HE GET?

[dam_stijl]

[starts on the other end, and decides to ignore the scoripion bit]

[whispers in] - Hey, y'got that collar on, still?

/patpats

[xiaolongbaozhu]

[a long moment passes as he tries to gauge the reaction of the insects]

[but nothing happens, so he lets out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding]

Y-yeah.

Ugh if I stop responding I fell asleep why the hell am I up.

[dam_stijl]

[he stops and tries to think of what the most effective question could be]

Fuck. Okay, fuck. Just - calm down - [he's saying this for his own benefit, just ignore him] - [breathes for a few minutes] -

Just sleep. We'll find you if you're still wearing that collar, okay.

fdjsdfkj is okey go to bed! ;3;;; sleep is importantttt

[xiaolongbaozhu]

[those few minutes are all it takes for him to start losing focus on anything as the daze brought about by dehydration and starvation and isolation and all those other -tions begins to set in]

[he's brought back only slightly by the last of your words, but only enough for him to manage to mutter something in return]

...o-okay..

[and there's silence once again]
