Muse revival! Wahoo!

[mostremaining]

Hey, hey, Mun! I'm so happy to hear you want the awesome me back! Who wouldn't want me living upstairs, huh? And you want the real me, not that depressed sham you had before! That's great! I'm not one to disappoint, so you can count on me to liven up the place!

...Wait, what's this? You're dumping me into a tower full of monsters because "I'm the only one you could torture that way?" What the hell's that supposed to mean?! You're going to put me in real, honest-to-goodness danger? ...Of course, I can handle it! It may have been a while since I've been in any real danger, but I'll shake the rust off soon! Yeah!

And what's this about "excusing technical difficulties while you try to get my voice back?" My voice is fine, thank you! You can hear me loud and clear! I can hear me loud and clear! So don't act like I've lost my voice. What? I'm missing the point? Whatever. The point's probably not important enough, anyway!

Well, that's that! I can't wait to go on awesome adventures again! This is gonna be great, monsters or no!

Brother, I am sure everyone here could hear you loud and clear. While it is fine that you're excited about this, please refrain from causing your mun unrequired headaches.

[He's not mentioning it, but hearing of a tower of monsters does leave him remotely worried. Yet... It may be a good way to keep his brother occupied.]

[mostremaining]

[Look out, Ludwig, there's an incoming Gilbert ready to glomp you!]

Weeeeeeeest! Oh my god, it's been forever since I talked to a... um... a "you" that's not in the headspace! And you're actually saying that it's fine for me to be excited about something! This is great!

Oh, I'm sure everyone can hear me! It's just that my mun keeps going on about "voice difficulties" and "difficulties getting me right," so I just wanted to assure her that my voice is fine!

[potatomasher]

[Oh, he doesn't step aside, but he will only endure your glomping for exactly six seconds before he will hurt you. Mental countdown starts now.

...five...]

It's always fine up to a certain degree, brother. If you are okay with your mun's decision to send you to that place than there is nothing that speaks against you looking forward to that experience.

[...four...]

Though I am to believe that your mundane was not referring to your voice in the actual sense of the term.

[...three...]

Much more likely they are referring to their own ability to portray you in a convincing fashion, as in having the correct feel for the way you speak, the words you use and other traits that make your voice your voice, brother.

[...two...]

[mostremaining]

[Gilbert knows better than to glomp his little bro for too long. Off he goes, then.]

Weeeeell... I don't know if I'm entirely okay with it, but it's the first real adventure I've had in ages, so I'll take it.

...Oh? I guess that makes more sense. But then I'll never be able to tell if I'm being done right, because that would just be weird and meta, or something!

[potatomasher]

[Not being reckless is a good choice.]

No, brother, you yourself probably won't be able to tell much of a difference. Though, you may rest assured in this case. You appear rather true to yourself.

[He would be pretty weirded out already if that wouldn't be the case.]

So... Be careful on this adventure. It would be bothersome to hear about you having gotten into trouble at that place.

[mostremaining]

I appear true to myself? That's good! I wouldn't want to be a pod person or something! Man, you should've seen the old version of me that my mun used to keep upstairs. He was a wreck.

Bah, I'll be fine! I can handle myself when there's trouble! There's probably going to be lots of fighting anyway, what with the monsters and all.

...and then I accidentally closed this tab. orz

[potatomasher]

...lots of fighting and monsters, huh?

[Nope. He doesn't sound too thrilled about that.]

I'll repeat myself: Be careful.

[mostremaining]

Weeeest, don't worry your pretty little head about me! This is me we're talking about! I'm good in a fight! And besides... my mun says we come back when we die! People there die all the time and come back, or something!

[potatomasher]

That's... Hardly a calming thought at all, brother.

[You know he will worry just moreso now. Darn, Prussia...]

[mostremaining]

Huh? How is that not calming? I mean, it's not like I'm looking forward to dying or anything! But it's nice to know that there's a safeguard of some sort in place in case something goes wrong.

[potatomasher]

It's still death, brother. The experience remains the same and still should be treated respectfully. Saying that dying is very common, just as it is in those video games you tend to play so much is not how you treat the loss of a person's life respectfully.

[He doesn't say it out loud, but, heck. You of all people should be aware that he's remotely paranoid in regards of the fact of one day finding his brother to be gone for good.]

[mostremaining]

That's true... I guess it just gets weird when there's a possibility of coming back. It's not like seeing someone else die won't freak me out or anything. Maybe I'm just a little less concerned for myself because there's a safety net for me?

[potatomasher]

Ja. It seems to be rather common at these places. Even though our nature as nations makes actual death in its more traditional sense less of a worry for us as long as we don't end up getting forced into a mortal body. My mun has my younger self at one of those places and... Hnn. Frankreich died recently. It was admittedly disturbing.

[mostremaining]

That's also true. As nations, we don't really worry much about true death unless something serious is going on... I wonder if I'd revive while the resurrection people were doing whatever to me.

...Wait, hold up. Your younger self died?

[potatomasher]

It probably depends on the regulations of the place your mun chose for you.

But, nein. I said Frankreich died. My younger self avoided having that happen to him so far.

Sorry for the delay- got lost in my pile of tags. X_X

[mostremaining]

Ohhhh, right! Sorry, got my wires crossed. ...Can I ask how Frankreich died? Do you know?

No worries, happens to me all the time.

[potatomasher]

I know, ja. Actually he got badly wounded by a giant, rabid wolf. There was nothing anyone could have done against that bloodloss... Aside from showing some mercy.

[mostremaining]

Ouch. That sounds... bad. I just saw two people get killed where I am... it was really kind of freaky. This girl was on the video screen, then suddenly WHAM! She's hanging from the ceiling, along with this other kid! Apparently, I'm getting a crash course in how my new place works...

[potatomasher]

Eh. [Frown.] Are you sure you will be okay there, brother?

[mostremaining]

Actually, no, I'm not so sure anymore! My mun is talking about trying to get me killed! I'm totally screwed, man!

[potatomasher]

What? Already? That's anything but appropriate! You should have a word with her! What is it with this place she has you at and there being that much death around?!

[mostremaining]

I don't know, man! Apparently, I got in during this event where people are dying and turning into monsters who want to kill other people... There's way too many opportunities to die! Apparently I've got my mun's mercy for now, as she just passed up, like, three different opportunities for me to die...

[potatomasher]

Brother, that's terrible! If you can't depend on your mun to spare your life, then you need to ensure your survival yourself! You fought severe battles before, so you sure should be able to get through this one just as well! Just keep your eyes open and give it your best!!

[mostremaining]

Er, well, it's kind of weird because I come back even if I lose... But yeah, believe me, I'm going to fight to the end! If someone tries to kill me, I won't just let them mow me down! I'm too good for that!

[potatomasher]

For a change I actually want to believe that, brother...

[Because what else can he do anyway?]

[mostremaining]

...Believe what? What are you trying to say? Hmm?

[potatomasher]

That you are as good as you always claim to be, of course. I haven't seen you fight in a while.

[mostremaining]

Oh, please, West! Of course I'm as good as I claim! That's not something I'd lie about, you know?

[potatomasher]

I never said you ever lied about it...

[You merely tend to perceive things differently from others. Germany knows that much by now.]

[mostremaining]

So your point is...?

[potatomasher]

Well. In order to actually lie you would have to be aware of the fact that what you're saying isn't entirely true, brother. So my stance remains: I hope you can live up to your claims and remain victorious.

[mostremaining]

Aww, c'mon! You can believe in me, West! I'll totally be victorious! Nothing's killed me yet!

[potatomasher]

...yet.

[Sigh.]

I'll just wish you luck, brother.

[mostremaining]

Awww, thanks, West! I wish you luck, too!

[tis_art]

Monsters?

[mostremaining]

Yep, monsters. I don't know what type, but apparently they're there.

[tis_art]

Hm....Monsters....Battling one would be....SO COOL!

[Go for it Prussia! He'll be watching you! ]

[mostremaining]

Yeah! It would be, wouldn't it? My mun says she'll try and sneak one of my old swords in with me if she can. That way, I can battle whatever nasties try to sneak up on me!

[tis_art]

Can Austria do that too? He doesn't seem like he could....

[mostremaining]

Oh, hell no. Definitely not. I don't think he'd last for a second in a tower full of monsters. He'd be mincemeat in a second. Did something make you think he could do it?

[tis_art]

He takes care of me though....How do I make him stronger?!

[mostremaining]

I'm afraid I can't answer that. As far as I know, he'll be that weak little pianist for life. Too bad, Austria!

[tis_art]

He's an artist! Art is powerful....So he just needs to be bigger!

[ Bigger is better right? ]

[mostremaining]

Art has its own power, I guess, but in a fight, a paintbrush isn't gonna get you anywhere! You need actual skill to handle yourself in a fight!

...Now you have me imagining the Attack of the 50-Foot Austria. And that IS scary. I don't want him crushing me! Gah!

[tis_art]

50 foot.....Big is...art......THAT WOULD BE ART!!

[ MUST DO IT. ]

Austria would be perfect if he was that big!

[mostremaining]

OH HELL NO! Don't even go there! Let's seriously consider what he could do if he were that big! He could accidentally level his own cities or something, and that'd be bad news for everyone! Think of the civilians, man!

[tis_art]

Austria isn't reckless though! Our citizens would be fine! He'd be a perfect tourist attraction too!

[mostremaining]

It'd still be so easy to accidentally step on someone though, and think of all the trouble that'd bring! But you're right. Get him a giant piano and he'd be one hell of an attraction. Throwing of rotten vegetables optional!
