[aphanon_meme]

stock up while it's on sale! Anyway: I. can't. believe. it. I really can't. I mean, I do believe it. So I guess I can believe it. But STILL. I've been saying all month that we'd get doodles, if anything, but--AN EVENT. An event! <>A real event. With ghosts! And mysterious happenings! And Hong Kong being a butt! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Enjoy part 343!

[He threw up?! Well, he doesn't look too bad, at least.]

Um. Next year. But Christmas isn't too far away, if you like food.

[firstfleet]

[Too much sugar. He's fine now!]

Next year?

[Pulls a face.]

Christmas ain't the same, ya have to go to church before ya can eat.

[And people insist on burning yule logs even though it's summer in his country and it's hot.]

[lietuvaaaah]

Ah.

[He'd protest that statement but there was a time he hated church, too.]

I'm sure we could work something out.

[firstfleet]

[Instantly perks up.]

Ya mean I won't have to go this year?

[It's boring and he has to sit still for at least an hour, it's not his thing.]

[lietuvaaaah]

That's not my decision to make, but I can definitely help get you food.

[He's kind of a sucker for people who will eat anything, so if Australia asks he'll cook him whatever he wants.]

[firstfleet]

What if I came to ya house for it?

[This sounds like a way to get out of it and get a good meal too, he's going to ask. Plus he can see the dog again!]

[lietuvaaaah]

I usually go to church on Christmas Eve, so if you want to come over on Christmas Day you can.

[No hesitation at all in that offer like with certain other Australias.]

[firstfleet]

Really? Thank ya!

[Lithuania can expect an excitable visitor then. Who might not realise how cold it gets in Vilnius in December.]

Try to bring something for ya too!

[lietuvaaaah]

[He has lots of extra blankets around! And he could make a fire and let Australia curl up with the dog on the couch.]

That's very sweet, thank you.

[And he'll make sure Australia has something small to open on Christmas Day too.]

[firstfleet]

[He's never expected real cold weather, so it'll be an interesting experience.]

So what do ya do at Christmas? Ya one of those Catholic nations, right?

[lietuvaaaah]

Yes. Usually I have a special dinner and then go to midnight mass, on Christmas Eve, and then on the next day I relax with friends or family.

[...Or his dog, because sometimes those people aren't available.]

[firstfleet]

[That doesn't sound that different from his own, apart from being on Christmas Eve and replacing 'dog' with 'koala'.]

Sounds like a -

[And then his stomach rumbles, loudly, and he looks a tiny bit embarrassed before covering it with a laugh. Oops.]

[lietuvaaaah]

Are you hungry? We could try and find you something to eat.

[...Just like last time. But Australia's a growing boy! He thinks. He's not exactly sure how the timeline there goes.]

[firstfleet]

[Nearly always hungry. Just that kind of time.]

Can find some myself!

[Because it's not good form to ask the same person for food when they've already fed you recently and they're not your guardian.]

[lietuvaaaah]

[But he's offering! And now he feels kind of snubbed. But he's pretty sure that's another cultural difference and he'll just have to deal with it.]

If you're sure.

[firstfleet]

Can find somethin' if I look enough. Always do!

[Which isn't really an answer and he stops to think about it.]

Might be better with a second pair of eyes though if ya ain't busy.

[Which sounds like a good idea, it's always easier with an accomplice.]

[lietuvaaaah]

Of course I can help.

[That sounds like a better idea, and it makes him feel a little better too.]

I think the kitchen is this way.

[He starts walking over that way, looking back at Australia to make sure he's following.]

[firstfleet]

[Lithuania would probably would feel even better if he knew that he was just planning to snatch food from someone instead.]

Right!

[Follows along behind, until he gets distracted by something shiny on the ground and stops to pick it up.]

[lietuvaaaah]

[After a moment he realizes Australia isn't following him anymore, stopping and looking back. He can't see what it is, but he can tell Australia is picking something up.]

What have you found?

[firstfleet]

[Picking it up, he finds it's a coin. Not from somewhere he recognises but it's still worth keeping.]

Money!

[Rushing over to Lithuania, he shows him his new find. But doesn't actually let him touch it, finders keepers!]

[lietuvaaaah]

Oh! Good job.

[He's not sure whether Australia even has a use for that, but knowing him he'll find something. He continues on his way to the kitchen, stopping in front of the fridge.]

Any special requests?

[firstfleet]

[It probably shouldn't make him proud of himself to hear that but it does and his chest puffs up a little as he follows Lithuania. It's not going to be that useful in his home for at least for another two hundred years considering it's two euros, but he'll find something to do with it.]

Meat! Maybe, um...the one where ya put it between bread! That one!

[lietuvaaaah]

A sandwich?

[That's easy enough. He starts getting ingredients out, humming a little as he does and then looking for a plate. He hasn't been in here much, so he's not sure where stuff is.]

[firstfleet]

[He was thinking of a burger, but that'll do too.]

[When Lithuania starts looking for a plate, he joins in too. He might be searching through the cupboards to see if there's anything worth taking too, however.]

[lietuvaaaah]

[If he sees Australia stealing anything he'll tell him to put it back, but other than that he's not bothered by Australia looking around. He seems like a curious kid, and there's nothing wrong with that.]

[When he's done he gets the sandwich on a plate and puts it on the table.]

Done.
