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!

[ and Japan still doesn't lower his gun, either -- ]

It's two against one, Russia-san.

...Let her go.

Pfff I forgot what kind of gun I was using

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[He doesn't look very nervous, considering he has two people threatening him now. His smile stays in place, and he almost looks amused by the whole situation.]

You take on step, and I decorate the floor with her blood~

[He pushes Liechtenstein down with a firm shove, getting her on her knees so he could hold the gun easier to the top of her head.]

Do you want to see who is the quicker shot, Yaponiya? I wouldn't, if I were you.

[America's axe actually just makes him laugh. What a weapon to be given in this sort of game!]

[fruited_plain]

[Her eyes narrow.]

And if you do we blow your ugly face to smithereens.

[And just to call his bluff, she inches a step closer.]

We don't have to be faster. Not when there's two of us. What's it going to be, Russia? You won't get anything out of killing her if you're dead.

[miss_neutrality]

[It dawns on her now just how real the possibility of her death is, and she looks at the ground and thinks about everything that's happened over the last few days.]

[This is why she should never get involved in things like this. This is what she gets for trying to be involved. She should have just wandered off alone and waited to blow up.]

[She feels sick to her stomach, but her eyes are dry for once in this terrible game.]

[jipangu]

...This gun is notable for its accuracy and long-distance shooting, Russia-san.

[ ... ]

We do not have to be faster, it is true.

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[He doesn't find this quite as amusing anymore, especially when America steps forward and effectively calls his bluff. He knows that killing Liechtenstein won't help him.]

You're right. But if I let her go, you kill me anyways. I might as well take her down with me~

[His eyes narrow as he thinks about a way out of this, and it's a few moments before his eyes are flashing with something dangerous.]

Or maybe I would take all of you down with me.

[He shifts the end of his rifle to the collar around Liechtenstein's neck, pushing it down into the small space between collar and skin.]

I've seen how large this particular explosion is. I wonder if you two would like to see it also~

[fruited_plain]

[Shit. He's taken it up a notch. And she knows better than to think this one's a bluff. And she thinks she knows what he wants too - someone to die here. She'll be damned if she lets it be the two people she wants to protect.]

I got a better idea.

[She edges closer. It's not a step, but she's not backing off, either.]

You let her and Japan go, and I'll stay. One versus one. Come on big gi- guy, you know you're not interested in them.

[Come on. Let them go.]

[miss_neutrality]

[As she feels the gun shift underneath her collar it's all she can do to keep from making a sound. Her lip trembles and she continues to stay still, trying to think of something sturdy. She doesn't have to be brave, she only has to be sturdy.]

[It's easier said than done.]

[jipangu]

America-san...! [ he says it softly, and he's not taking his eyes off Liechtenstein and Russia, but -- ]

[ ...he wants to reject her idea, but he'll wait to see what Russia does first -- ]

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[That offer surprises him a little. But as it stands he didn't want to die right now, and killing America was preferable to killing the little one currently kneeling at his feet.]

[Besides, America was more of a threat. He could always pick off those two later with relative ease.]

See, this doesn't have to get so bloody after all! I'm glad you saw reason, Amerika.

Drop the gun and kick it over to me, if you would be so kind. Then come slowly. Don't do this, and there will be some pretty fireworks tonight~

[fruited_plain]

[Barks out a laugh.]

I'm not that stupid. We'll both put down our guns, these two will go, and then we'll pick up where we left off. Otherwise I'm not so sure how this deal's gonna work, y'know?

[She ignores Japan. Just go she wants to tell him. But if she even so much as blinks Russia has the upper hand.]

[miss_neutrality]

[Despite her fear, she has been paying attention to the situation, and she knows they have no chance if they all stay where they are. They have no way of guaranteeing that Russia wouldn't be able to pull the trigger before he died.]

[She doesn't say anything, but she shifts her eyes up to Japan and gives him a serious look. They can't doubt America on this.]

[jipangu]

[ ...If only he hadn't suggested they check the school--!! ]

[ He wants to speak up again; wants to fight Russia instead, but -- ]

[ He can't. Not when Liechtenstein is in trouble, and America is offering to fight Russia for their sake. He's already lost friends in all of this. ]

[ ...He nods, seeing Liechtenstein's look. ]

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[You're silly, America. He's not putting down this gun until he doesn't have two pointing at him.]

I'm not going to do anything until there is nothing pointing at me, Amerika.

You.

[He looks to Japan with that word and gestures towards the door with his chin.]

Get out and get far from here. I will be looking out of that window there and if I don't see you leaving....well, I think I already said what would happen. I don't very much like repeating myself.

[fruited_plain]

[She expected as much. She jerks her head at Japan, motioning out the door.]

Go on.

[Her eyes never leave Russia.]

When he's out we'll count to three and put our guns down, okay? Then you let her go.

[Don't freak out on her now Liechtenstein. You're doing a great job so far.]

[miss_neutrality]

[She's not going to freak out. She can't. She feels trapped, and defenseless, and very very small, but somehow she's still calm.]

[She goes back to studying the floor.]

[jipangu]

[ his eyes narrow further, but he reluctantly shifts carefully towards the door... ]

...Good luck.

[ he murmurs that, obviously meaning it for America, and dashes out. ]

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[Just as he said he would, he watches Japan until he's gone, then looks towards the window to make sure he really leaves the school. He's still watching you out of the corner of his eye, America, so don't try anything.]

Look at all of this progress we're making! There's nothing more wonderful than working together~

[He nudges Liechtenstein with his foot, never taking his eyes off of the American. His grip on the gun is steady and unwavering so as not to accidentally tug the collar.]

I'm wondering if you're armed, little one. If you are, be a good girl and slide your weapon over towards that wall, please.

[fruited_plain]

[Hey if she says she's going to do something, she does it. No funny business on her part, but she can't help but feel a sliver of relief now that Japan's out.]

Yep, whadya know! Too bad we don't agree much.

[Not that it means anything if Russia wins this.]

She's not.

[Well she doesn't know that, but she's pretty sure she isn't.]

[miss_neutrality]

She's right, I'm not armed.

[Aside from caltrops, that is, but even if she stabbed him with one of those it wouldn't do much aside from angering him.]

[She wishes she was armed, now. She could have used that gun.]

[jipangu]

[ Japan had an encounter with Romano on the way out, but -- ]

[ eventually, finally, he will make it outside safely, to a point where Russia should be able to spot him. ]

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[He looks down at Liechtenstein, studying her with cold eyes. Soon he's smiling again, though, apparently believing both of them.]

Oh, alrighty then. That makes things much easier. Now...

[He starts to move the end of the rifle out from Liechtenstein's collar, but he can still easily put a bullet in her, if America makes the wrong choice.]

Start lowering that gun, if you please. She can leave, and then I can deal with you.

[He plans on leaving here with his life.]

[fruited_plain]

[That makes two of them. She nods.]

I'll count down from three, okay?

[She shoots Liechtenstein a Look. Run. Don't look back.]

Three...

[She slightly lowers her arm.]

Two...

[And bends over to the side, all attention focused on Russia.]




One.

[And opens her hand, the gun sliding to the ground with a soft metallic thud, her palm open flat in the air over it. The axe slides to the ground behind her.]

[miss_neutrality]

[She sees America's look and acknowledges it, but now that Japan is gone she isn't sure about leaving. She tries to puzzle out whether Russia thinks of her as a threat.]

[Probably not.]

[snow_n_sunflowers]

[He lets America do the countdown as he pulls his gun up and away from Liechtenstein.]

You should leave, little Liechtenstein. For your own good~

[Three- he starts to lower the rifle.]

[Two - it gets lower and lower, starts to slip out of his fingers.]

One.

[The gun seems about to fall from his palm, but he suddenly snatches it up again, moving as fast as he can and taking aim. He doesn't even wait half a second before he's firing.]

[He admires your honor, America, but not enough to risk losing this little fight.]
