A cheerful, playful laughter echoes over the intercom. It sounds happy, perhaps, too happy, to be in this sort of situation. Finally the laughter dies out and is followed by the sound of two dull thuds, as if someone were placing his feet on a table.

I figured since I could, I'd tell you all a story. A real old fashioned fable!

[At first, it sounds like it might just be a broken connection, as there is no sound at first. Then, after a moment of silence, a loud, disgruntled groan.]

...What are you implying, Turkey? I can't seem to tell if you're trying to insult someone, or congratulate. What are you aiming at, Ottoman?

strongrelation March 23 2009, 20:12:41 UTC

I was simply telling a story, Bulgaria. You got a problem with that?

balkansofia March 23 2009, 22:11:47 UTC

It seems like you might be trying to convey a message through your story. Why else would it be so fable-like?

strongrelation March 23 2009, 22:25:10 UTC

Because it is! Ahaha!

[Sounds tired.] What on earth are you going on about?

[laughter]

Only one guy in the world with that kind of pretentious accent! Hello to you too England!

[Voice] prud_englaland March 24 2009, 17:37:41 UTC

I would thank you to lay off my speech patterns as it is the golden example of how English should be spoken in the first place. It is not pretentious in the least!

Hello, Turkey. I do not believe I was aware you were here. I imagine you know Egypt is here too...

Re: [Voice] strongrelation March 24 2009, 18:57:55 UTC

[First there is laughter, drifting over the Englishman's words, and then silence that feels heavy. It's followed by a cough.]

Of course. I've already had my run in with Egypt.

[sounds bored] Fascinating. Did you have anything actually constructive to say?

[Voice] strongrelation March 24 2009, 17:06:36 UTC

[there's a faint chuckle of amusement]

Now now, isn't entertaining the masses constructive?

[Voice] von_habsburg March 24 2009, 21:37:21 UTC

It can be, but I doubt it's necessary at this point in time. Though I must admit it's an interesting story. I must wonder, after the fox lost it's fear of the lion, would it not then have made an easier meal for it?

[Voice] strongrelation March 25 2009, 21:53:31 UTC

[There's silence for a moment, as if the speaker hadn't considered that]

Hm. Perhaps. Isn't that how all things go?

[Dulled applause.] Bravo~ Certainly a tale I would expect of you, Turkey. There is one thing that interests me, though; why would the lion allow the fox to speak to him in the end? Was there perhaps some injustice on his part, was he also afraid of the fox?

Ah, speaking of foxes. [Clears his throat.] I know one or two fables to do with them. Care to listen?

[Voice] strongrelation April 2 2009, 17:44:05 UTC

[There is laughter, playful and friendly]

Or perhaps, the lion was simply allowing his prey the time to feel comfort before being devoured.

[and there's a pause, as if contemplating the offer] Seeing as we have all the time in the world, I would love to hear one from you.

[Voice] andouillette April 2 2009, 20:13:10 UTC

[Chuckles.] What an interesting approach. Very well; I trust you'll find this interesting. [A slight bump as he adjusts the microphone.]

A great, old fox, quite the hunter of his time, once found himself caught in a trap. Unable to free himself so easily, he escaped, and lost his tail, to his great shame.

At the next council of the foxes, he spoke up and asked his comrades, 'Why do we carry this useless weight with us? This weight that drags in the mud on the woodland path? What good does this tail do us? It must be cut off. If you believe me, then each one should resolve to do this.'

'Your point is valid,' replied one of the group, 'But turn around, and then you shall know our answer.'

He did so at these words, upon which an almighty cry arose from the pack at the sight of the absent tail. So loud that the poor fox could not argue any further. And thus, the norm for having a tail continued.

[In a softer voice.] Excuse me; it is difficult to retain the same tone in another language.

[Voice] strongrelation April 3 2009, 16:45:14 UTC

Heh.

What do you think? Cast off that extra weight, or hold onto it for the sake of your pride!
