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?

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.

[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?

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Mm, of course. a.t.b. stands for "Ascension Throne Britannia." This is the Imperial Calendar we use. I assume you don't use the same calendar?

[gesangvoll]

No, of course not. England hardly has that much influence these days, and even if he still retained the power he once possessed, it did not affect much of Europe that greatly.

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

What is your world like, mind my asking? You seemed quite concerned about the fact that Prussia was no longer a nation. It's always fascinating to learn about another world and the social and political atmosphere.

[gesangvoll]

Ah, well, my concern is only due to the fact that Prussia himself is a rather irritating person. He is not aware that I prefer to spend time away from him, despite the fact that I have informed him of this multiple times.

What exactly do you wish to know about the world I am from? There is a lot I could say, after all, and it would be helpful if you could tell me where I should begin my explanation.

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

I've never met Prussia, so I can't voice my opinion on his behavior... but I will take your word for it. It's a shame that he doesn't realize you don't want to spend time with him. I understand how you feel... I know people quite like that.

As for your world, I'm afraid my knowledge is rather limited. I've never met anybody from your world, so I don't know much, if anything. However, I would be quite pleased if you would be so kind as to enlighten me.

[gesangvoll]

I am fairly certain that whoever you may know is nowhere near as barbaric as Prussia is.

Very well, then. For the most part, I am assuming that continent-wise, it is the same as your world, since you did mention a few nations that exist where I am from, as well. However, England, I believe that is your world's Britannia, is no longer as powerful of an empire as he once was. He still has influence, yes, but not as much as he had in the past, as I said. There is no 'Euro Universe," however; I am fairly certain that you are speaking of Europe, in which case, Europe is divided into countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and my country of Austria, though Austria is currently known as Austria-Hungary. The 'United States of Japan' are simply known as Japan, China does exist as China, and there is another country you neglected to mention, which is the United States of America. Does this answer your question?

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I have heard of many of those countries that consist of what you call Europe. Some, like Germany, are members of the Euro Universe; however, most of the land in that region belongs to Britannia. As for Japan - that is what the area used to be called until it was taken by Britannia. The Japanese caused quite a stir and, eventually, they were given land and it was called The United States of Japan. The Holy Empire of Britannia, however, is the main force in the world.



How very interesting... Oh, forgive my manners, but I don't know your name.

[gesangvoll]

I see. That is indeed something completely unlike where I am from, as I have said before.

Ah, my apologies. I am Austria, or Roderich Edelstein, if you prefer. It is a pleasure to speak with you.

[yougotgeassed.livejournal.com]

Indeed, it's quite a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You can call me Lelouch.

I'm afraid, however, that I have some business I need to attend to. I hope to speak with you again, Austria, and possibly learn more about your world.

[gesangvoll]

I completely understand, no need to worry. I, too, hope to speak with you at some point in the future, Mr. Lelouch.
