Sudden worries. New game.

[kartoffelstampfer]

That frown on your face. It hasn't been there ten minutes ago. You rarely worry. Well... Openly. If you think you said too much, remember that for the future in case a second chance appears. Though don't count on it. Few things are going to turn out the way you may wish for them to go. Get used to that. Adjust.

And don't make that face. The first of your applications got approved, so you have new responsibilities to take care of! I am even inclined to approve of the place you chose even. It's small, but the setting is much more acceptable than that island. I am merely criticizing the day you decided to pick me from. Again. May I request that you go with a date a couple of years earlier than that in the future, mundane? I do not appreciate being taken from a point where I am at my weakest. I see you understand. Danke.

Now go. You have responses to type. Neglecting those duties you burdened yourself with is irresponsible.

I'm sure your mun will have no problem. It's a usual worry but I'm sure they'll do wonderfully.

I do hope you ah- feel better as well.

[kartoffelstampfer]

You seem optimistic, Ungarn. But I guess we will have to see about that.

I know how to look after myself.

[edes_virag]

Is that a problem?

I know, but a little encouragement can go a long ways.

[kartoffelstampfer]

Maybe not a problem, but optimism doesn't always work for all of us.

[And no comment on the encouragement.]

Here have a mythical creature from Germany xP

[beautiful_nightmare]

Perhaps I am presuming too much but are you from Germany?

Hmm... I may have to read up on that one...

[kartoffelstampfer]

I would be Germany, indeed.

No clue how influential the "Alp" myth was back then but it was the basis for Nightmare on Elmstreet

[beautiful_nightmare]

You are Germany?

[That sounded odd even to her. She thought about this as she adjusted her black trilby hat.]

If that is true, what am I?

At least nowadays they're hardly known anymore. Too bad Germany cares so little about his own myths

[kartoffelstampfer]

Hn. You would be an alp. Though I'm inclined to ask what brings you here.

[beautiful_nightmare]

Hm your memory is good then.

Well I came here at first curious if there was someone from my home country. I have been mostly living between America and England.

If you have to ask I've been terrorizing their filth. Murderers and such.

[kartoffelstampfer]

You're welcome to terrorize America and England to all your liking. They deserve no less.

[beautiful_nightmare]

Oh what year are you from?

[That certainly didn't sound like the current Germany's stance.]

[kartoffelstampfer]

[Nope. It's not. But he doesn't get along well with his older self.]

1945.

[beautiful_nightmare]

Oh that would explain your feelings then.

[End of World War 2? Definitely some mixed feelings could be felt by Germany if he was looked at as a person instead of a collection of people.]

Well I do go to other countries you may be more friendly with.

[kartoffelstampfer]

...if you say so.

[Mixed feelings may be putting it lightly. If it's not the war getting to him, it's how torn he is with himself, really.]

There is hardly any need for you to terrorize my allies. [But of course he can't keep her from doing what she wants to do. Aside from... Well. Yelling at her.]

[beautiful_nightmare]

I'm not terrorizing your allies, I'm terrorizing their criminals.

[kartoffelstampfer]

For what reason? Aren't you supposed not to be discriminating?

[beautiful_nightmare]

Is a person ever that simple? I was human once after all.

...and then I suddenly fell asleep.

[kartoffelstampfer]

So you consider everyone a criminal?

S'fine I slept too xP

[beautiful_nightmare]

[She's just going to facepalm.]

No. What I mean is despite the fables common to you, there is no way a thinking creature is that simple to not discriminate.

[kartoffelstampfer]

But aren't there rules you have to follow?

[Oh, yes. He's going there.]

[beautiful_nightmare]

Well yes to a certain degree. I have leave the same way I came in, and I'd do anything to get my hat back were it to be stolen.

[kartoffelstampfer]

Hn. Those hardly regulate anything. Maybe some revisions may be in order.

[beautiful_nightmare]

You can't exactly revise the rules of a being that just exists. We might be myths but that doesn't make us less real.

[kartoffelstampfer]

So? Why not? My own laws change all the time. And those count for my people, who are living beings just as well.

[beautiful_nightmare]

Yes but you don't change the laws of nature. Humans still have to breathe just as much as I can't exit and leave through two different locations.

[kartoffelstampfer]

I'm not talking about changing the laws of nature. I'm talking about installing set regulations. Without them, there will only be chaos.

[beautiful_nightmare]

If you can set laws on your nightmares then by all means.

[kartoffelstampfer]

I can at least... Suggest it.

[Because the final say is still with his boss after all.]
