part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

[aphanon_meme]

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

I believe the last Hetastream we had proved how trustworthy your account of things is. [Will never forgive you for lying about your childhood, ever]

Mmm. Such a round about dare, they should have asked me directly. How will I know which one they are? [Fiddles with her headphone wires, shrugging]

I had work to get done. [Read: this place scared her and she retreated to her happy place]

You- !! Th-That!! It was just a little white lie! A tiny one!! So West wouldn't have to hear about how shitty things were before you were old enough to contextualize it!! And then you never asked again!

[And, you know, never hear about her trying to look up Poland's dress! But if you think that's bad, just wait until you actually meet the little shit.]

I told them to ask you! If you can't find them then it's no big deal, their lesson for not listening to the cool me.

You always have work to get done!! You barely even showed up for Christmas! When was I supposed to thank you, huh dummy?

[femany]

A thousand little white lies! I've had to adjust my every opinion on your younger self since then! And now that I'm asking again, you change your story each time! I know! I've been taking detailed audio notes secretly! [Headphones with a built in microphone come in handy. If she meets your younger selves she's publishing an accurate book on your experiences]

You probably frightened them away from it. You needn't meddle in everything the eyes.gif do. They're like children, Schwester, just let them play. I can handle it. [folds her arms, picking at her clothing. She doesn't like it when you start criticizing her!]

It was chaotic. I slipped you a proper thank you note under your bedroom door. [when she can't function all communication with her dissolves into notes and texts and voicemails and emails]

[On instinct a hand goes up to her face, gently half-brushing half-covering the scar there. Because that's the thing she's lied to you the most about, but she's lied to everyone about it to be fair! Only the people who were there (and a select few who have managed to deduce correctly) know the real story behind it. If giving such an obvious tell isn't enough to indicate how shocked she is, maybe the fact she's completely silent will be. It's not something she'd expect from you to do, let alone bluntly admit to, especially now of all times. She's feeling a bit betrayed right now, and it's only because thing have been relatively good between them this last decade or so that's she's not blowing up right now.]

If West is so interested in what I was like as a kid, here! A once in a life time opportunity for you, courtesy of the meme!!

Oh, and she keeps saying God stole her voice so good luck with that!

[And from the depth of hammerspace Prussia pulls out....

2/2

[princessknight]

...A Teuton! Congratulations Germany you have your very own grimy angry temperamental 13th century knight!]


[Prussia takes off to go sulk and glower and suppress bad memories about the Secret Police. But you can handle children right?]

Re: 2/2

[femany]

[She doesn't consider it to be Statsi of her because it was a conversation she was privy to! She was only recording childhood stories you told her! It was not an invasion of your privacy at all in her opinion! In the modern age, is there ever a moment where you aren't be surveillanced in some way? But your reaction cues her in to something being wrong and her heart leaps in her throat. Oh no.]

Schwester--[there's a yelp of surprise as you shimmy a CHILD out of your pocket from seemingly thin air and hand her over, and then another one as all her senses react to how filthy she is. Puts her on the ground!!]

Ah--Ah--Oh no--Er...[PANICS! She is unprepared and even worse, slightly upset and sad now. She didn't mean to set you off. Oh dear, Oh my. A..A child. Who can't speak. That is not helpful!]


H-Hallo?

Re: 2/2

[princessknight]

[Even if it's a conversation you're privy to it was recorded without her consent! She'll probably be mostly over it the next time she sees you, but you're not the only one who was wire tapped by America you know! So you're not the only one feeling extra sensitive and touchy when it comes to privacy issues.

As for Teuton, she doesn't mind being dropped and she just brushes herself off and watches her big self leave. Luckily Prussia did provide her with a notepad and pen when she realized she couldn't talk.]

[Writes: HALLO! YOU'RE BIG ME'S BABY SISTER!!!]

Re: 2/2

[femany]

[There's a difference! That sort of things falls under bonding and memories! She didn't consider it any worse than her sister constantly taking candid pictures of her!]


I am.....[She's at a loss for words. What does she do with a savage little dirty knight?]

D-Do you always live in Schwester's pockets...[Asking the pressing questions]

Re: 2/2

[princessknight]

[All you had to do was ask and she'll chat into a microphone for hours!! It's the sneakiness that bothers her!

Most people try to give her a bath, but that's not really recommended.]


[NO! BIG ME GAVE ME A ROOM AT HER HOUSE. BUT I LIKE LIVING WITH GILLY OR MUTTER BETTER WHEN I'M HERE.]

[Here being the meme, and Prussia's house obviously meaning yours! This is why you need to get out of your office more Germany!]

Re: 2/2

[femany]

[That is not a controlled sample!! Informed consent skews results! She had a disclosure form drafted up and everything!]

I see....[She does not want you in her home this dirty and it's too cold to suggest playing with the hose.Tackling a bath alone feels beyond her, Mutter already formed a bad opinion of her so that's out...leaving]

Do you know where "Gilly" is? Can you find him by yourself? [She hopes her Schwester forgives her for setting her little self free from her pockets but she has not a clue what to do! Their home isn't child proof, is it? She certainly isn't equipped for it. She doesn't even have a schedule drafted up for a child! The meme is mainly indoors as well, isn't it? It should be safe. This child seems self efficient anyway.]

Re: 2/2

[princessknight]

[It's the principle of the thing! Not everything is a science experiment.]

[GILLY LIVES IN BOY WORLD. BIG ME SAYS I CAN ONLY GO THERE WHEN I'M INVITED. IF LITTLE SISTER GIVES ME CANDY I'LL GO!]

[Even if their house were childproof, Teuton carries a sword on her at all times, it wouldn't stay that way for long. And she is fairly self-sufficient, enough that Prussia herself tends to leave her alone except for some very basic rules. Like no candy. Because she's from a time before sugar came to Europe and it crashes her system like crazy. But she's a manipulative little shit so of course that's what she asks for first.]

Re: 2/2

[femany]

[then she should scold her on the spot, not run off in a mood and leave her with a pit in her stomach and a burning throat because her doing that is really upsetting to her and she doesn't quite understand and she wasn't even given a chance to explain herself]

I'll write you a note, but you have to promise me you'll go straight to him. A Big sister promise. [gently takes the notepad from her, explaining things for Gilbert in perfect script. Before reaching into her pockets and handing her a 2 Euro coin]

I don't have candy, but if you hand this to a cashier and ask for candy, you'll get some. [You didn't come with a care sheet so she doesn't know any of that! Sorry, Gilbert. She's curious about you but too distracted to really soak in the reality of you being in front of her. Too reserved and shy to give in to her more maternal instincts of scooping you in her arms and feeling your hair and counting your fingers like you're a baby and not a young girl just out of fascination.]

We'll talk more when you've got your voice back, yes? [offers her a small smile]

Re: 2/2

[princessknight]

[She should have, perhaps, but even your super awesome big sister isn't perfect! They'll make up when you get home, but not before she teases you for reeking of Austria and ensuring you haven't called her big sister on your little dinner date!]

[Teuton nods, watching with interest as you write. She's used to new siblings popping up every day, so combined with already acclimating to the whole future idea, your presence doesn't really bother her. But you have been marked as someone who is easy to manipulate in her mind, let's see how that changes once her voice is back and they can interact properly...

She takes the coin, placated because she knows money when she sees it and she knows how it works. Then she takes back her notepad.]

[THANKS LITTLE SISTER! WILL YOU BYE BYE!]

[Whatever she was going to ask, she decides to wait. Waving with a big 'kesesesese' kind of grin she runs off. Yes they'll talk lots when she has her voice back!!]

<3

[femany]

[You two make the "Schwester" word all too stressful.]


Ah....[the half written question gets her attention but you're already running off. That smile is hauntingly very much her older sister and for a moment she wonders what she's done to earn it. Naughty...is what she can only think. Oh well. She'll find out soon enough]


Take care...Behave! [Back to the bliss of her headphones for a while at least]
