on the date.

[mounties]

A hundred and forty-five years isn't that long, relatively speaking. Besides, I don't think it's entirely nice to call someone an old lady on their independence-dominion-birthday thingy. It's actually sort of rude, if you don't mind my saying so.

You're not really that old compared to a lot of countries, right?

[mounties]

No, I'm not, you're right.

[achromous]

Happy birthday, though! Even if it's your "independence-dominion-birthday thingy".

[mounties]

Thanks, Hilda, I really appreciate that.

[HEY LOOK she can still do notmom hugs. Come here, squirt.]

[achromous]

[Hugs are still awesome! Hugging back.] At least you don't have to have your birthday in Mayfield.

[likesottlyfab]

Wow, it's like totally rude.

[Especially since he's something like ten times Canada's age.]

[mounties]

I guess, yeah, even if I'm definitely worried about everyone there. Especially you and Holland.

[mounties]

I'm glad you agree with me, Poland.

[achromous]

...He is stuck in some sort of weird carnival.

[pledged_to_me]

[AUNTÍN FROM ABOVE! With birthday hugs.]

Breithlá sona, me beag amháin!

[mounties]

... I should have know. And you?

[achromous]

I'm stuck outside of the carnival because my player sent someone else in. Well, I kind of expected that anyway, but I'm worried about Holland.

[mounties]

[Yay! Hugs!]

Go raibh maith agat, aintín!

[mounties]

Hopefully he'll be alright...

I've been hearing things about your headspace-mate's adventures in there. At least he's with his brothers?

[gezellig]

Hardly a nation.

[He'll just be hiding a smirk behind his hand.]

[achromous]

Yeah, but he seems to have terrible luck, so I don't know how long he'll go without getting hurt or having to watch someone--die or something.

[likesottlyfab]

Even if a lady is totally super old, you don't say it to their face. [He's watched Hungary slap the stuffing out of Prussia enough times to have this lesson engrained in every fiber of his being.]

Oh yeah, Happy Independence day!

[mounties]

The Baltics are stupidly resilient, though, they'll all be fine. Just keep yourself safe and... well, hope for Holland.

[mounties]

Nation enough to save your behind, Nederland.

[achromous]

I hope everyone stuck there ends up okay, but... Well, you know Mayfield. If I could get over there I'd definitely go find Holland!

[mounties]

I feel like there's some good old fashioned Central European wisdom at the root of that statement. [She can't help grinning, though.]

And thanks.

[mounties]

I know you would, dear. But look out for yourself, most importantly.

[achromous]

I'll be okay, but they need water over there, and Samurott can make that. I wish I could help.

[pledged_to_me]

Goodness, so young. And callin' you an old lady; what would your lass be sayin' 'bout me I'm wonderin'?

[likesottlyfab]

Like, duh. [He assumes she's talking about his wisdom. Which he's entirely happy to boast about.]

It must be nice to be home for your birthday, huh?
