1st video; bad birthdays

[bydefacto]

[ Sealand’s face can be seen, very close to the screen, his expression bewildered yet somewhat excited. He's on the terminal closest to room 1-20, and he might seem familiar to anyone in the tower who knows England. The only real differences between the two are his somewhat tamer hair, his blue eyes, and the fact that he looks no older than twelve years old.

Oh and guess who totally hasn't read either of those important letters by his bed yet? Who needs to read when it's finally his birthday. He's pretty proud of himself for having figured out how to use the terminal without any help. Technology can help him out here! ]

Hellooooo?!

This is the weirdest birthday surprise I’ve ever had and I don’t know if I like it yet. It’s for a party, uh, right? A surprise party? …Here, for me? This is a strange place for a party, but it’s okay, there must be some reason for it!

I bet my dad organised it! Is he here? And Fin and Wy and everybody? Is this like a game? Is there a cake?! And why did you change me into this suit thing? It's weird.

Anyway, I’m forty-six years old now, you know, I'm practically ancient and more than ready for true nationhood! I hope I have lots of presents and you’ll all take the opportunity to realise how much I’ve grown!

Oh, also, I think this computer’s broken. I can’t find the internet link and I need to get on facebook! I should have lots of birthday messages!

[It's courtesy to answer video video, so Sealand will see the face of an (apparently) young man with a weird visor answering him.]

This is probably the worst present possible.

[France has to do a double-take when he sees Sealand's face on the terminal. For a split second, he hopes his brain is playing tricks on him and it's England he's looking at, but, no, those blue eyes and that childish face most definitely belong to Sealand.

His heart drops into his stomach. First little America, now this? How many more children do the administrators plan to trap in this place? And on his birthday, too. How awful.

With a mind full of worries, France flicks on the video feed.]

Sealand? Is it really you? My...

[He tries to smile, but his eyes betray his concern.]

Euhh, happy birthday, I suppose. [He uses the word "happy" very loosely.]

[ Clearly everything about this broadcast is really normal. It is to Urotsuki, actually. So she just blinks, her expression pretty blank, and she asks the most important question-- ]

You mean nobody gave you birthday cake yet..?

[Oh god, and he thought he'd been dreaming that Sealand was here earlier. He can't even find it within himself to be (or pretend to be) annoyed at the fact that Sealand is being...well, Sealand. All he feels is an icy sort of dread tucked somewhere away behind his ribs. As much as they irritate each other, Sealand is still his little brother.

And now he's here.

He finally turns on the feed. He looks pretty sour, but that's par for the course with England.] I'm afraid there's no internet here, lad.
