[001 ; Video]

[The screen flickers on, and a very confused face appears. He's right up at the screen, squinting and trying to figure out if he's making this work properly.]

Umm... hello? Is anybody there? I've been captured again! I hope it's not by England, because then he's going to feed me disgusting food. I don't want disgusting food! Or what if it's somebody else who makes even worse food...

[He tugs at the violet collar around his neck.]

What if they've captured me and want to make me their pet? Dog food doesn't taste nice. I tried it once and it made me ill all day.

[His odd curl seems to be upside down, and tears are starting to form at his eyes. He starts to look around.]

video.

[his relief is only slightly obvious. italy's well-being had been a concern to him since he had arrived at the tower, even if he wouldn't admit it. though the initial relief turns to exasperation as he watches the video.]

Of course food would be your first concern... [he sighs.] Are you all right, Italy?

[pause.] ...and don't tell me that you're hungry.

[His face lights up. His friend's here, he's not alone. They can maybe help each other.]

GERMANY!

I'm okay, ve. I'm really, really hungry though. I don't think I ate before I came here, and I can't find any nice food. Have you seen any around?

[His stomach rumbles, loud enough to be heard. He hadn't been that hungry before, but now that it's been mentioned...]

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

[...why does he never listen. well, at least he's not hurt or anything. if he's only complaining about being hungry that must mean there's nothing terribly wrong.]

There's a cafeteria here. You are required to eat oatmeal as your first meal. Don't even bother trying anything else.

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[His mouth drops, and he looks shocked. Only Italy could get this surprised over food options.]

Oatmeal? I don't like oatmeal!

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

That should be the least of your worries!

[curltug.livejournal.com]

But the food is bad! They're going to make me eat bad food, ve.

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

Idiot.

[he slams his hand against his forehead.] We've been captured and imprisoned and all you can think about is your stomach?!

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[He visibly flinches.]

B-but food is important! I don't even know where I am, and there's no food.

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

There is food. I just told you that.

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[Another clueless expression.]

There's food where I am?

Where am I, Germany?

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

It's doubtful.

[though he's tempted to bash his head against the screen, germany squints, trying see around italy and get an idea of where he is.]

Can you describe your surroundings?

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[This time, instead of frantically looking around, Italy takes time to check his surroundings.]

Ohhh... there's a lot of books. Prussia said that the library is full of books. Maybe that's where I am?

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Wait right there and I'll come and meet you. Do not wander off.

[curltug.livejournal.com]

Okay Germany! I'll stay right here, but don't be too long.

[He salutes, then holds his pinkie finger up to the screen.]

Should we promise on this?

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

[well. if it'll stop him wandering off...

he raises his own pinkie finger.] Fine then, promise.

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[He wriggles his finger, pretending they're shaking on it.]

I won't move at all until you get here, captain!

[cantgetlaidin.livejournal.com]

Good. I'll be there shortly.

[curltug.livejournal.com]

[YAY, GERMANY!]

Okay! Can we go and have some food when you come here?
