[Gilbert's in front of the camera once again. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks.]

Last month was a shitty, shitty month.

[Beat.]

First there was the crap with the nutrition bars. A few days later, you know what I got in the mail? This.

[He holds up what appears to be a Prussian and a German flag that have been shredded and tied together. There's also a large rusty mystery splotch on the flags that some would recognize as dried blood.]

For those who don't know, the black and white one is my flag, and the black, yellow, and red one is my brother's. I saw my brother a few months ago, and it seemed he'd been pulled to somewhere, too... I hope the admins don't know something about him that I don't. I don't know what they were trying to tell me with this, but it's obviously not good news.

Then, a few days after that, those things came for me... and... [He winces, visibly disgusted.] I always swore to myself that, no matter what the course of history took away from me, they could never take me away from me. I guess I was wrong. They took what made me me away by force. I can't think about it. It makes me feel sick to my stomach. I've been laying low to try and think about it, but I just can't. It's beyond anything I can really understand.

At least we've got booze now. It's not my kind of booze, but anything will do at this point. I'm going to go get sauced, because god damn do I need it. Oh, and the ice cream, too. If anyone needs me, I'm going to be in a mountain of booze and ice cream. Yep.

Prussia..I'm sorry that they burned both your and your brothers flags. If you want, we could try and repair them as best we could in the workshop.

..And it is horrible that they took your free will away..I'm sorry that it happened to you. It's a horrible experience. Hopefully you'll be able to recover soon, if you can. If you want to talk to me, I'm always happy to listen.

And don't drink too much and get sick, alright?!

I know your pain. It's...frightening, what they can do.

That's all you've got to say? You're not gonna yell at me for getting piss drunk? You might have to carry me back to the room, you know.

They weren't burned. They were ripped and dipped in blood that was totally fresh when I got it. I don't know if the workshop is going to be enough for this.

How about you, Tohko? They took you away too, didn't they? And I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your advice this time. I fully intend to get utterly stinking drunk.

Maybe not..but even so, we can try to repair them. And if we can't..well, then we'll make you new ones that aren't bloody, burned, or ruined in any way.

..They did take me away, but I'm alright now. Don't worry about me. And there's a difference between getting drunk and getting sick because you drunk too much!

Excess can be dangerous in this place...

But after everything that happened last month, I don't blame you for indulging once.

*And it's not like he didn't eat a piece of one of Gamzee's sopor slime pies knowing they were some sort of drug, himself. Sure, he hadn't expected the effects to come on so strongly because of his constitution, but still...*
