[After a day spent huddled in a corner crying to himself, Prussia finally manages to break out of his trauma from the recent events to make a very important phone call.]

[THE MOST UNFILTERED EVER]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.

NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.  And why with America, of all people -- euuuuuugh! Ugh!

[Brief moment of gibbering before he

[Walking by. Have a concerned German citizen stopping to see what's going on.]

I'm surprised they would return something like that to you.

[armywithcountry]

[Prussia's getting that faint tingle that lets him know this guy might be one of his, so he's instantly a lot more friendly towards him.]

I've got no idea why they did, I don't recognize any of this shit. You know what it is, then?

[hungry_monster]

It appears to be surveillance equipment.

[armywithcountry]

Surveillance . . . like spying and that kind of shit? [Looks even more confused as he holds up a pair of headphones.] With these? How does that work? What are these even supposed to be, earmuffs?

[bro_thel_fist]

[Just. Laughing.

Don't mind her, she just thinks it's funny that you're flipping a shit and calling people by the names of countries.]

[armywithcountry]

IT'S NOT FUNNY. Aaaaaah, my cute innocent little brother, no... [sniffle sniffle]

[bro_thel_fist]

No, it totally is.

As long as your baby brother isn't, like, twelve, it should be okay. We all have to grow up sometime, right?

[armywithcountry]

He hasn't even hit his first century yet! [Yes he has, but like hell is Prussia acknowledging that.] Way too young to be forming unions! Especially under the influence of this hellhole! And he can grow up all he wants, but not without me there!

[freakinblur]

Oh, man, they set you up with America?!

[BRB laughing]

[armywithcountry]

THEY DID NOT. NOTHING HAPPENED. AT ALL. [if he says it enough times, it will be truth!!]

[freakinblur]

Methinks yer protestin' too much!

[armywithcountry]

I AM PROTESTING THE EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT. BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED. I DON'T REMEMBER A THING!

[Action]

[sturmbahnfurher]

Well hello, what have we here? Surveillance equipment? Well that sure seems pretty nifty, maybe the Major'll be walking up to talk with you now.]

Planning to do a little surveillance, perhaps?

[armywithcountry]

[Getting that tingle again why are all of his people batshit]

Once I figure out how it works! I still have no idea why the town sent me this shit - I've never seen any of it in my life!

[sturmbahnfurher]

[That's just how they do in Germania.]

[And don't mind him, the Major will just be admiring it. It was developed a bit after World War II, so he didn't get to see much of it when he was in hiding until more recent years, but hell. The man is fond of anything that could be deployed in warfare.]

It's surveillance equipment. You'd use it to aid in reconnaissance and spying.

[armywithcountry]

[They can bond over that, then - Prussia may not have any idea what this equipment is, but hey, it's his and someone's admiring it, so he's going to preen a little.]

Still doesn't explain why they sent it to me, though. Spying's for weaklings - if I've got a problem with someone, I'll beat the shit out of them, not wait around for information that probably won't even matter!

[time_shattered]

[This guy lives at 457 Stone Street, so when he steps outside he can't miss the changes to his neighbor's house.]

Hm, interesting.

[armywithcountry]

[Busy muttering to himself and poking at a couple of bugs, pouting when they don't do anything.]

Fucking useless pieces of junk, why couldn't I have gotten a tank instead...

[time_shattered]

Now, now, if any of this equipment works, it may be more useful than a tank.

[armywithcountry]

How are wires more useful than a giant car with a cannon that can run people over? [Poke poke grumble] You know what to do with these things?
