[He's sure he's heard this voice somewhere before, but he can't place it. But he tries to be helpful either way. Someone from his world, he's sure--who else would directly address Austria and Hungary--but...]

Ah, Miss, I don't think you can change where they've assigned you...

[dearest_austria]

I've been told so, but it is most definitely no option. I also am a married woman already, which renders this farce of a marriage void.

[letunityblossom]

Well of course none of the marriages here count, Mayfield just randomly assigns them, I believe. Have you just arrived?

[dearest_austria]

Yes. The situation has been explained to me for the most part. That does not mean that this match up is acceptable in any way.

[zombee_slayer]

I don't think ya can.

[dearest_austria]

There will have to be a way. This situation is not acceptable as it is.

[zombee_slayer]

Ya could always just fucking move out.

[dearest_austria]

I was told that those that control this place will not accept that.

[Okay, the drone never sounded so frantic about anything. And that voice is familiar. He opens his eyes and immediately wishes he hadn't. The town's jokes were getting worse every day. Maybe if he ignores her she'll just go away?

..... No, he's not that lucky. Okay, time to wake up and face the proverbial music.]

Maria...? Oh, God, it really is you.

[dearest_austria]

[Okay, that was not her husband's voice.

Now that she thinks about it, this does not feel like her husband's arm at all, either.

And the voice still sounds like a voice she knows...

She lets go of him and turns around, one hand grabbing the blanket as if she wants to pull it up to cover herself but refrains from it in favour or greater agility.

And then she just stares for a moment.]

What are you doing...? ["here"? "in my bed"? "in this bed"?]

......

[No, there was no denying reality here. Clearly the town had seen fit to give him a non-droned wife. And her of all people. Lucy Smith doubtless found the whole thing to be the height of comedy. He sits up and heaves a somewhat dramatic sigh. 'What is he doing?']

Right now? I'm wishing I were still asleep. That way I could pretend all of this was a dream.

I demand an explanation, Frederik.

[Her voice is a lot less sharp than her words will make think you, though. He does not seem to be any happier about this than her, which is probably a good sign... or not, but she'll see.]

[armywithcountry]

[The voice sounds slightly familiar, but it's been quite a while since Prussia's last heard it. Still, the fact that she knows of the countries' existence gets Prussia's attention immediately.]

Ugh, what the hell do you want that weakling for? He's useless! And Hungary's out right now.

[dearest_austria]

[She would recognise that obnoxious (at least to her) voice everywhere. Especially when the first thing that that voice does is insulting her country. (No matter if what he says is true or not.)]

I would appreciate it if you stopped right there, Prussia.

...if she is out "right now", can you tell her to come see me the moment she returns? [She's not too sure about anything anymore, and this place is ...more than strange, so the request doesn't sound as strange to her as it would in a normal situation.]

[armywithcountry]

[It's starting to come back to him, though he still can't quite place it. Still, he bristles automatically at her tone.]

You know me? And why? It's true!

Fuck that, I'm not your goddamn messenger boy! What do you want with her, anyway?

[dearest_austria]

That Evil Man mentioned that people are form different times here, but you really have not changed. And if you did listen to your yourself, you might notice when you insult others.

I need to talk to her. [Though he is right about the messenger boy thing... Plus she doubts that he would be a very reliable one.] Where can I find her?

[nopastaforyou]

[She must be like Freud was, a clone. But at the same time there was no mistaking her voice. Not to mention the fact she mentioned Hungary and asked for other nations....it had to be her not someone who looked like her or sounded like her.]

It can't be...you're....

Okay, I had to use the matching icon XD

[dearest_austria]

Austria?

[She would not normally ask something that seems obvious to her, but voices are a much less reliable way to tell whom one is talking to than faces.

Also what took you, why can't she at least be married to him /sob She's trying to not show it, but he is the person that is most likely to actually hear about her feelings in this place. And right now, she's in a slight state of panic, even though she will not show it.]

[nopastaforyou]

[He doesn't know what to say. So please enjoy this awkward silence coming from the other end of the phone.]

[Okay enough of that.]

Y-Yes?

[dearest_austria]

Please come to Mitchell 1445 immediately.

[She doesn't really trust this thing and wants to see him in person before she tries to figure things out with him. Also clear orders make things easier.]
