part 335 summer nights (tell me more tell me more)

[aphanon_meme]

Like did he have a car? Dodo--dodo--dodo... yeah! How is your July going so far, meme? Good? Bad? Okay? Scrumtrulescent? ... Question mark? This is a very rambling post today, I'm sorry, I'm in a tired rush. A tired tired summer rush. Which, in my professional opinion, is the most annoying kind of rush. I prefer a crisp winter rush! But oh well.

Enjoy part 335!

[That's probably the most satisfying sounding splash he's ever heard. Unfortunately it's not quite good enough yet, the guy's still moving and has his sword so they're not done here yet]

[He steps up to the side of the pool, still watching the man in the water even when he's talking to Greece, ready to push him back in with a foot if he gets too close to the edge]

Ah, we still gotta knock him out, I think. Wanna try it out?

[And holds his taser out to the side for Greece, if he'd like it. Guns have never really been his favorite weapon, he wouldn't mind someone else taking a shot with this sort of gun for him either]

[greece]

We could simply take his items and run...

[accepts the taser, looking at it curiously]

Although... we might want to take his sword as well.

[okay, it's settled, they'll knock him out and take the sword, but how does this weird gun work?]

[tilts his head at Spain questioningly, help a bro out]

[thenorthsbastard]

[Re-emerges from under the water, sword still in hand as he swims to the side of the pool, putting his hands, and the sword with them, up on the side to pull himself out.]

[oh_espana]

[For the moment he's distracted away from seeing the man trying to get back out of the pool, leaning over to Greece and the gun, pointing at things]

The things on the end come out and stun people like that if you can hit them! So you just gotta aim it like a regular gun and then press-

[Reaches for the trigger to show Greece what he'll need to do. The gun's unaimed, still tilted to the side. Right at the spot this unusual man has chosen to make his departure from the pool]

[And when he accidentally taps the trigger a bit too hard in his explanation he jumps back in real surprise to see the electrodes being shot out towards the man]

[greece]

[pays rapt attention to the explanation in case he needs to use this contraption later]

Ah, I see, I s--

[and then it suddenly shoots out and he's so surprised, he lets out a yelp and drops the gun, leaping backwards as the thing suddenly comes to life with crackles]

[thenorthsbastard]

[The ends of the electrodes dig into Jon's neck and before he can realize what is happening, his eyes widen as a shock runs through his entire body.]

[Even as the pain subsides, he feels himself sinking into the water, sword slipping from his fingers as his arms slump heavily back into the water. He is sinking lower, but he can't even gasp for breath, his chest seemingly frozen as water starts filling his mouth and trickling down his throat before he sinks fully under the water.]

[What was this sorcery?]

[oh_espana]

[Oh]

[Well]




We did it!

[He's still not really getting the significance of this. They just knocked a guy out, his taser hasn't killed anyone it's hit yet]

[And he looks pretty pleased at their good fortune. Just let him slip down to the side of the pool, start pulling off shoes]

Wanna help me get the stuff from the water?

[You know, like the guy drowning to death right now]

[greece]

[just... stares a bit...]

What of him...?

[gestures towards the body with his chin]

Are we to just leave the corpse...?

[awkward]

[thenorthsbastard]

[There is nothing he can do as his lungs fill with water, suffocating him; he is unable to even attempt gasping for air as the shock from the taser left him immobilized. His mind screams for unresponsive limbs to move, but there is nothing, and everything fades to darkness.]

[oh_espana]

... Corpse?

[Glances back between Greece and the guy in the pool]

[The guy starting to float in the pool]

He's not dead!

[Oh God he didn't mean to kill anyone hang on they can still save this guy. Forget the shoes he's jumping right in the water and dragging the guy to the side of the pool]

We just. Just have to get him out!

[greece]

Then we had better do so before he drowns...

[how are they going to get the body out...?]

[kneels next to the edge of the pool and tries to reach?]

[oh_espana]

[And pushes the body up as you reach. It's not like it's a kid, they're probably just going to have to roll him back up from the water]

[It's not very respectful of the dead, but at least they aren't leaving him floating in the water]

...

[And climbs out after him. Okay, maybe it's becoming clear it is a corpse. Looks over to you, eyebrows furrowed in worry]

It was an accident...

[Does it count as both their faults? This was just a normal guy, not even a nation. They don't usually come back]

[greece]

[pulling and tugging the body out of the water, it's rather ungraceful the way they maneuver the poor guy, but it's hard not to]

[lays him on his back and does a quick check just in case]

...

[and abandons the corpse for Spain]

It doesn't matter. Let's gather up his supplies. Did you still want his weapon...?

[oh_espana]

[Swallows hard, watching Greece make the check. And it's confirmed]

[For a few moments he can't answer, just stare at the poor guy's body... no, anyone would understand, they didn't mean to. Shakes his head, pulling away and back to the water, slipping back in to retrieve the sunken sword and reemerging with it]

Yeah...

[And he's moving from the water towards the rest of the supplies and grabbing them up too, not wanting to be near the body anymore]

Let's get out of here.

[greece]

[it's okay, he knows it was an accident and he doesn't judge you for it]

Are you...?

[going to be okay?]

[rests a hand on your shoulder in concern, doesn't want you to just run off and hide from it]

[oh_espana]

[He's already not really okay, and that body's not helping quiet those awful thoughts that seem to be coming more and more often]

[But for now he's got you and he's not alone and he'll be-]

Fine, but I guess maybe this place isn't so abandoned if people keep finding it! Why don't we get to somewhere a little safer for the night?

[It's a little too cheerful sounding for what just happened, but really thinking about it right now isn't the best idea. He turns his head back with a smile and reaches for your arm, pulling back to the door]

[greece]

[he can tell you're disturbed, but he doesn't know the extent of it]

[but he'll let it be for now since you obviously don't want to talk]

That sounds like an intelligent course of action...

[allows you to lead him away, slowing only to offer]

If you ever...

[wish to talk about what's going on or just unstress a bit, you know he's here for you]

[oh_espana]

[His and that man's bag slung on his shoulder and a new sword held in his hands, they're back out the door and off in the direction they came from. He's got an idea where a not terribly comfortable but safe spot might be between a lake and some mountains, and that's where he's going to take them]

[He hears the reply, of course, but doesn't respond for a while, just turning over the idea]

... I know.

[But he can't. Not right now. It's not that bad, they'll get out of here before it gets that bad, he's sure. And he doesn't want to worry his friend. For now he's fine just walking quietly to safety with their arms linked, taking comfort in that]

[greece]

[he didn't expect anything right away, after all they still need to get somewhere safe first]

[but any comfort he can give, he will, whether it's holding you tightly against his own body or giving gentle nuzzles every once in a while]

[he'll remain silent as well, until you want to talk or you want him to talk, he's sure you'll let him know whichever case]

[oh_espana]

...

/misfires twice trying to retain the thread order

[br_undertaker]

[arrives at the run-down building after the two nations are gone and crouches by the dead man]

Huh... you're very far away from home, aren't you? It's too bad you came here at this time! Dying among strangers has to be even more scary than dying alone.

[lifts him up under the arms - whoa, he is heavy, but it's no wonder, he is soaked from head to toe]

[it doesn't matter]

[he'll give him a good burial]
