vatheon, re: "cold to the touch" event

[savemegermany]

V-ve mundane.

Could you give me more layers to wear? I-it's really really cold! I bet this is how Antarctica feels! But I'm not Antarctica. I'm Italy.

Baking isn't really keeping me warm anymore. Maybe if Germany and Japan were here, I'd hug them and make things better. That's how it works, right? Maybe my new friends will hug me or some of my cute girl friends, like that sweet Tohru.

Please send help! I'd even hug England or America right now. Or even.......... Russia.... Scary.....

... u-um, do you really need to hug someone else to keep warm? [Have a tiny Japanese girl, Italy! Please don't mistake her for Kiku, even if the haircut's similar.

She even looks as easily flustered with the idea of such displays of affection.] Maybe... you could collect warm clothes or blankets? They're very warm! I'm sure... I'm sure if you had a bunch of them, you'd be able to keep warm.

[savemegermany]

It's the only way to fight the curse! Blankets aren't working. I'm wearing 5 layers of thermal underwear! And a fleece coat!

Ve, you look a lot like Japan~

[1/2]

[petitejaponaise]

[She blinks, then smiles.] Because I'm from Japan! Even though I work in Paris now...

My name is Yune. It's nice to meet you! [She dips into a formal bow.]

[petitejaponaise]

Really...?! You wear that much and it doesn't work?

It sounds so cold! Even colder than winter in Paris.

[savemegermany]

Nice to meet you, Yune! I'm Italy~. I'm always happy to meet one of Japan's people.

Ve, it's really cold! I can't warm up at all.

[petitejaponaise]

I'm happy to meet you, Monsieur Italy!

I, also, like meeting people from other countries. Since your name is Italy, you're Italian, right? [Poor Yune's in for a shock.]

If it's really that cold, maybe... oh! Would holding hands work? It's always your hands and feet that get cold the fastest, right?

[savemegermany]

Si, I am Italian.

Ve, that might work. I haven't tried it yet.

[petitejaponaise]

Wow, I've never met an Italian before!

Then, please try!

... say, how do you say "good luck" in Italian?

[savemegermany]

Ve, I sure will~

You say, "Buona fortuna!"

[1/3]

[petitejaponaise]

[She listens intently, eyes wide in complete focus, before her hands ball up into fists with determination.]

[2/3]

[petitejaponaise]

[Her eyes narrow and she proceeds with utmost seriousness to make sure she will not fail!]

Bu...

Buona fortuna, Italy-san!

[petitejaponaise]

[Wait, "Italy-san"?

She blinks, then looks disappointed and fretful at the same time.]

Ah, I switched to Japanese at the end— I'm sorry!

Was that bad? Should I do it over? [Like it's some magical incantation she needs to get just right for it to work.]

[savemegermany]

[ he simply smiles and laughs. He's used to that sort of talk from Japan and every time he visit's Japan's house. ]

Ve, it's alright! It soundedf good to me!

[petitejaponaise]

Really? I'm glad!

I hope it brings you luck, wherever you go.

I don't want you to be cold anymore.

[savemegermany]

Thanks! I really need luck~

Thankfully curses only last a week and it's halfway over.

[pomodorolove]

Who'd want to hug that big bear?

[Or anyone in that list?]

[savemegermany]

I don't really want to hug any bears.

[pomodorolove]

But you just said you were willing to hug Russia!

[savemegermany]

I-it's really a last resort! I'm really cold!

[pomodorolove]

What's this nonsense anyway, requiring hugs?

[savemegermany]

That's how to reverse the cold, apparently.

Ve, Romano! Hug me!

[pomodorolove]

That is impossible and not tru..

[He backs away]

W...why?

[savemegermany]

Ve, so I can be warm again~ [ and he likes to hug anyway, so why not? ]

[pomodorolove]

[He maintains the annoyed expression but extends his arm side ways.]

[savemegermany]

[ yay hugs! He hugs his bro. At first he feels cold but quickly warms up! ] So warm....

[pomodorolove]

[Not like it's the first time they hugged, but it still feels a little awkward, so he tries to squirm a little]

Don't get too comfortable

[savemegermany]

But I like to hug you~

[pomodorolove]

...

you like it?

[savemegermany]

Si, I do~

[pomodorolove]

[Short moment of contemplation and blushing]

Well I don't!

Get off me!

[savemegermany]

[ he releases his bro, a bit disappointed that brosef doesn't like hugs too. ]

Sorry.

[pomodorolove]

[Now he feels guilty. He rolls his eyes.]

Don't give me that look.

[savemegermany]

Sorry! [ D: ]

[pomodorolove]

And stop apologizing for the things you do!

[fuck_potatoes]

How would hugging those dumbasses make anything better?

[savemegermany]

It's this curse! The only way to reverse the cold is to hug someone!

[fuck_potatoes]

That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard!

[savemegermany]

I don't make up the curses! I just suffer through them!

[tercio]

Romano, don't worry! I'll make sure you never get cold either!

[ Prepare yourself for the hug to end all hugs! ]

[tercio]

I'll hug you, Italita!

[ He's so sunny that it's IMPOSSIBLE to be cold upon his glorious hug. ]

[savemegermany]

Spain! Spain! [ here, have a hug. Italy likes hugs. He's very cold to the touch at first. ]

1/2

[tercio]

[ omg why is he so cold, this is not normal or pleasant!! ]

[tercio]

...this is a more serious case than I thought.

[ Hugs heroically. ]

[savemegermany]

This curse makes me feel like Antarctica! [ cling ]

[tercio]

If it makes you feel better, you don't look like Antarctica.

[ HE SHALL HAVE TO HUG YOU HARDER TO MAKE SURE ITALY'S SELF-IMAGE DOESN'T GET ANY LOWER. ]

[savemegermany]

[ he might need more than a hug for that. ]

Ve, that's good. I don't want icicles growing from my hair!

[tercio]

[ You know Spain is always there for you, bro. Fear not. Hug-kuna matata.

Though the image with Italy with icicles in his hair was somewhat cute, Spain prefers his Italy to be warm rather than chilled.

Hug hug hug oblivious curl-twang hug hug. ]

They would hang off of here, wouldn't they? Hahaha!

[savemegermany]

[ oh dear. ]

I-i'm really warm now...
