16- [phone]- 25% is bad enough when you have the mental focus of a tomato...

[Italy is very confused today. Every time he lets his mind wander, which is often, he keeps forgetting things. Or remembering things. He's not sure which. But he keeps thinking about things that never happened in Mayfield, because he hasn't been there that long. Unless he had? But he knows he hasn't..

This is confusing. So, onto the phones to

[ There's a laugh over the phone. ]

Trapped here? We're not trapped here~ are you playing a game with your friends?

[canhaspasta]

Ummm..... no?

[He's not so sure of that...]

But.... But I thought we all used to live in.... other places. And then they brought us here?

[bridesearching]

Huh? What other places? I don't know any other places.

[canhaspasta]

[Thats.... a very good question]

Other places like.... other countries?

[moemoetentacles]

Sure we have! Man, I know you've always been kinda dumb, but I didn't think you were that dumb. Hahaha!

[canhaspasta]

I... I'm not dumb....

[Yeah, yeah he is...]

I just.... I remember not living here.

[moemoetentacles]

Are you sure you didn't just have another dream and get confused again?

[canhaspasta]

I.... I don't think so...

[theseineone]

Of course we have, Feli, don't be silly. I've known you all your life.

[And you can always trust big brother, right?]

[canhaspasta]

[He does trust big brother. So now he's even more confused. Was he the crazy one? It's starting to seem that way....]

So... so we've always been here? Are... are you sure?

Because I remember other things....

[theseineone]

I am completely certain, Feli, I promise you. [Except he can't quite figure out why he's being so familiar with a random kid whose parents he barely knows. Ah, but there's nothing wrong with being nice and he's probably one of Madeline's classmates anyway, right?] Did you have a dream, little one?

[canhaspasta]

A dream...? But it couldn't have been a dream, not all of it!

Grandpa Rome and Romano and Mr. Austria and Miss Hungary and Holy Rome.

And you too Big Brother France. We were all there and there was too much of it for it all to be a dream!

[Upset. Crying a little. What he's trying to say is that he remembers too much history for it to be made up. Except he's just sniffling and babbling names at you. Enjoy~]

[perfektsymmetry]

N-No! Italia. Look, something is going on, a-and people... people are droned but are fighting it off. I think. I-I hope. So please, remember that... remember that... That Mayfield is a really great town, okay?

[canhaspasta]

[Huh? What did all of that mean?]

Mister Crowe....?

............

V- Va tutto bene?

[He's asking if he's alright in Italian, because despite the voice in his head that says they're both American, Italy knows they've always spoken in Italian together.]

[perfektsymmetry]

[There's silence for a moment. He has to process those words, that sound foreign, yet not - after all, Italian was just as much of a native language to him as English.]

I-Italia... mi dispiace. S-Something weird is happening, i-it's like I don't know where I am anymore. B-But we're not from here! You're Italia, and I lived... in Mayfield my whole life! What other place w-would I want to be?

[canhaspasta]

[Crying now. And still in Italian.]

Stop! Please stop! You... you're still the same person! The town is just lying.

It has to be lying....

[armywithcountry]

'Course we haven't, kid, don't be stupid! Don't tell me your memory's so bad that you've forgotten who you are already!

[canhaspasta]

I- I don't know....

Everyone keep saying that we all live here. And that we always did... Even Big Brother France said so...

[From his tone, he's clearly upset, but he's too tired from trying to concentrate all the time to reach his usual level of panicked whining in a crisis.]

And I keep forgetting things.

[Sniffle.]

[armywithcountry]

Ugh, they must have gotten their stupid asses droned! It's been happening pretty often lately.

That's because you're not trying hard enough, kid! Drink some beer and go run a lap or two, that'll clear your mind up. [prussia you are the worst adult the worst]

[canhaspasta]

Drinking beer will help?

[He's desperate enough to try anything at this point.]
