phone; so if Netherlands is her not!dad is Belgium her not!aunt

[backinblackcity]

Oh, you must be new to Mayfield. That happens to everyone... I'm Hilda, by the way. What do you want to know?

[doulikewaffles]

It's nice to meet you...even if it's just over the phone.

Anyway, there's one thing that's been bugging me since I woke up...how do I already have a job when I'm sure I've never seen this place before in my life?

[backinblackcity]

Mayfield likes to make it seem like you've lived here forever, so it gives you a fake family and a fake job, or school if you're young enough. It takes away all your stuff from home, too.

[doulikewaffles]

I see...I guess that makes sense of the pictures, not waking up in the same clothes, and why that man on the other end of the phone was so inclined to call me Mrs. Vette.

[pasodoble]

[commie_island]

Belgium? You just wake up here?

[doulikewaffles]

Cuba? Yeah...I'm still trying to figure out how though. At first I thought it was a prank or something. but it's starting to look and feel like something completely different.

[commie_island]

Yeah, it's me.

Nope this place isn't a joke. If it was, we'd be able to get home by now.

[doulikewaffles]

[This whole place is starting to sound worse then she initially thought.]

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been here?

le phone

[filledechance]

Belgium? [Oh no, it's catching on] Welcome to the festivities.

I was hoping more of us would avoid getting stuck here.

[doulikewaffles]

Thanks, Monaco, but this is one party I really don't wanna be at...if you know what I mean.

So you're trying to say there's more of us here?

[filledechance]

[There's a flat sound of affirmation on her end of the line] Oh, I am more than aware believe you me. [snorting, she recalled every bad party she's been unlucky enough to be obligated into. She would gladly pay a hefty fee to get a ticket back to any of those instead of here]

There's a startling amount of us here. I spoke to your brother briefly, Estonia, and Hong Kong off the top of my head. There are more though. [Here she pauses, sounding a bit strained] We are human now, I was told.

[doulikewaffles]

You can now add Spain and Cuba to the list...seeing as how I just talked to them.

I see...[She sighs] In that case I wonder if we can ever go back to our old lives if we can ever get back home or if we're gonna be humans forever now.

voice

[bridesearching]

Oh, but Mammon's a really nice name, don't you think so?

But if you want to ask questions, I'll heeeelp. So will Bonaparte!

[doulikewaffles]

Ah, thanks. The first name really isn't what I'm worried about after all I have used it before. But it's the fact I'm married that has me a little unnerved.

Really? Thanks again I'm very great-- Wait, "Bonaparte?"

[bridesearching]

Yeah, Bonaparte. He's my friend -- he's sleeping right now, though. Buutbut, you're married now? Does that make you a mom?

[doulikewaffles]

Oh, so he's like a pet then?

A mom? Ahh...no...at least I don't think it does. I mean don't really remember ever having kids.
