Video Post 001

[gesangvoll]

[The video feed starts off rather rough, and some fumbling can be heard as Austria checks over the Dreamberry to see if it is actually on and broadcasting properly. It should be clear that he has very little idea how to work this aspect of the Dreamberry.]

Is this device even--Ah, there we go. I believe that will do it.

[The video focuses in on Austria and, though it is still rather shaky, is of far better quality than it was previously.]

I apologize if this message reaches anyone at a bad time, however, I have a question, and I would much appreciate it if I were to get answers from multiple people, so that I do not go around assuming something that is not correct.

I have heard from a rather reliable source that at some point in the future, the nation of Prussia ceases to exist. For those of you that may have some knowledge about this subject, is this true?

*Here, have an even blurrier video of a horrified Prussia dropping his Dreamberry and then picking it back up again. He holds it incredibly close to his face before shouting directly into it.*

Wh-wh-what-- what the FUCK, Specs?! Me, cease to exist? What a farce! That would never happen in a million years! Something so stupid and ridiculous could only ever happen in your DREAMS. *He raises his arm to shake his fist angrily at the other country, dropping his Dreamberry again in the process.* Goddamn, I hate these stupid things.

[The video feed becomes shaky for a moment once more as Austria moves the Dreamberry further away from himself because damn, Prussia is loud. :| Also, since he knows you understand it, and it's easier for him, have some German.]

Must you yell, Prussia? Speaking in a normal tone would get your point across just as well, you know.

*Have some German back, Austria. Also, German is for manly men. :| Wouldn't a national language more suitable for you be French or something equally girly-sounding, you pansy?*

But you'd like that, wouldn't you? And why would I do something I know could bring you the tiniest bit of joy? The mere thought of me doing something that would benefit you makes me want to laugh. *He pauses, looking very smug.* But then again, it would be just cruel of me to let you stay so ignorant, so just this once, let me answer your question for you: NO. N-O. I don't care what century you delude yourself into believing you're in right now, I'll still always be superior to you. If anyone "ceases to exist" sometime in the near future, it'll be you, not me. I'll wipe you off the map myself.

[I was a country before you were, so shut up. :|]

[All he can do is sigh at the first part. Really, Prussia, would it hurt you to act like a civilized nation?] Somehow, I doubt that, Prussia. After all, my source for this information had no reason to lie to me.

*NO U. ♥*

Hah. Sounds like a lunatic to me. And clearly you can't be too sane either if you honestly believe it's possible for you to be talking to someone from the future. Even England wasn't this daft.

[gesangvoll]

I am speaking to you, albeit reluctantly, and you claim it is the year 1763.

[vitalregionsnow.livejournal.com]

Because it is.

[gesangvoll]

The year is 1914, as I said earlier. If you have the patience for it, go and ask the other residents here what year it is for them.

But I-- *If only he knew how to make posts with his Dreamberry. But he's really clueless*

I don't know how to.

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is correct. I believe the proclamation was issued in 1947.

[gesangvoll]

1947? That is not too far off at all. Might I ask what exactly caused this proclamation to come about?

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I'm not a history major so I couldn't provide you with all the details. All I know is that it had to do with the second World War and the Allies not wanting to revive what they believed to be a purely militaristic state.

[gesangvoll]

[A pause as he takes in what Naomi has told him.]

The Second World War? When did the first World War supposedly happen, then?

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Hm, 1914? 1915? Somewhere around there. It was after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, I know that much.

[gesangvoll]

[For a few minutes, all Naomi will hear is silence. This silence is due to Austria's confusion, and anger, as well, since he does not believe that anyone would have the gall to assassinate one of his leaders.]

...I apologize, miss. I believe I must have misunderstood you. Are you honestly telling me that sometime this year, someone will assassinate one of my leaders?

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

...This year? *studies his fancy clothing through the dreamberry screen*

Oh, I see...

[gesangvoll]

Yes, this year. It is June 1914. At least, it is where I am from. Apparently one of my acquaintances from back home is under the impression that it is 1763, however.

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Prussia...?

Mm, I'm afraid I've never heard of that nation.

[gesangvoll]

Really now? Perhaps, then, you can tell me which nations you have heard of?

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Hm, let's see... Obviously, there is the Holy Empire of Britannia. Aside from Britannia, the Chinese Federation and the Euro Universe are the other main powers of the world. There are other nations, however, such as Australia and the United States of Japan, who have independent rule.

[gesangvoll]

[He thinks this over for a short while, since only one of those names sounds vaguely like a nation he is at least somewhat familiar with. One that sounds like his name. :|]

You seem to come from a rather... strange place, if you do not mind me saying so.

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

I'm certain I could probably the same thing concerning where you are from.

[gesangvoll]

I suppose you could, yes. What year does it happen to be for you?

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Before my coming to Somarium, it was 2018 a.t.b.

[gesangvoll]

That is rather far into the future. Might I ask what the "a.t.b." stands for, though?
