[Post 009] Video/Text/Action From Violet City

[France is huddled underneath his new comforter, clearly believing that the incoming storm means it's time to be in a continuous state of cold. He looks pleasant enough, though, and Marianne can be spotted stretched out happily on the radiator on the far right of the screen.]

It looks like a big storm in coming in. The locals were really adamant on stocking up their homes for disaster which isn't entirely reassuring.

[He snuggles underneath the comforter a bit more.]

I love winter weather, but this is a little too much even for me. I'm staying inside.

[His expression shifts into a worried one; this is probably the actual reason for this post.]

I hope no one is seriously trying to travel in this...



[Private Text to Envy and China]

Have you made it safely to Goldenrod, or are you still traveling?

That's the truth.

[France shrugs.]

I think... I really have no idea how this is all working. A couple people I know who are here are currently five hundred years back, and Canada is three hundred from me. It's confusing to say the least.

The difference is that great? Remembering what everyone knows and does not know must be an absolute nightmare.

[France grimaces and nods.]

The hardest part is figuring out how to act around them, especially when I know how certain things they reference actually turn out. It's difficult not to react inappropriately.

It would be unfair, dashing their hopes and dreams with future knowledge.

Pretty much. The damage control would probably not be worth it, and they might not even believe me.

It must be hard to deal with. Is there anyone else from your time in this world?

Prussia is from the same time period that I am, at least judging from the way he acts and his appearance. I would guess that China, Italy, and Germany are as well, and perhaps Lithuania. The problem with Nations is we don't age noticeably except over long periods of time and sometimes--like with China--not even then.

Couldn't you simply ask them? Or would that be considered insulting?

Why didn't I think of that?

Decades of being told that asking about people's ages is rude and ill-mannered?

And it's not like it stops a person from being curious, nor does it make it any easier to figure out how to properly address people.

[France sighs and shakes his head.]

I guess it would be better just to ask in this case. It would save me so much grief.

And if anyone feels insulted, you can always tell them that you do not wish to spoil an event they were looking forward to.

That's an excellent way of putting it. Thank you so much.
