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?

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

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?

...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.

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

I'm from 2014.

[gesangvoll]

[Another pause as he takes time think over that massive time gap.]

I see. If my acquaintance were not as barbaric as he is, I would ask you to explain this to him. Thank you for your response, though, miss.

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Of course, I can only hope I helped answer your question.

[gesangvoll]

Yes, you did. Though, I do not believe we have been properly introduced as of yet. For that, I apologize. My name is Roderich Edelstein, or Austria. It is a pleasure to speak with you.

Austria? That's a cute nickname.

Doctor Naomi Hunter.

[gesangvoll]

Ah, it is not exactly a nickname, per se...

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course.

[gesangvoll]

[Fails at reading people's expressions.]

You believe me, then? The last person I spoke with had some trouble believing what I said.

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

How silly. Of course I believe you, Austria.

I'm afraid Germany is at the door. I have to go.

[gesangvoll]

Germany is here, as well? Send him my greetings, then, Miss Hunter. I will leave you to your business, then. Thank you once again.

[slutty4science.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It was a pleasure.
