Video Log 1

[kivaember]

 [The screen flickers and buzzes before focusing on a thoroughly soaked and annoyed looking albino. Gilbert, the albino, is dressed in what seems to be a black tank top and a dark blue pair of boxers. It is obvious that when he arrived here, he was either in bed, or dressed for it. He scowls down at the screen, and rakes his slim fingers through his hair, slicking it back before ruffling it in obvious aggravation]

Alright, this is some sort of...video thing. Great. Guess who ever kidnapped me was nice enough to stick a starfish camera on my face. Thanks for almost giving me a fucking heart attack. Jerk!

[Gilbert lets out a loud huff and the screen jostles, briefly peering at the floor when the albino moves to stand up. The screen remains staring at the floor, but Gilbert's voice is audible] 

What the hell is this place anyway? Looks like I'm in an underground Sea world. And what the fuck is this...tattoo thing? Tch, it's dark... 

[The screen is moved to view the dark mark on the underside of Gilbert's wrist, the faint glow from the SFC letting the albino have a better view of it. After a moment, the screen moves again to focus on Gilbert's angry face]

I'm usually a pretty cool guy, but if the freak who kidnapped me is watching this, you better damn well hope I don't find you! You better send me home soon, alright?! There's a case of beer in the fridge and if I don't defend it, Bruderchen will drink it all without me! That and...and I was in a middle of a raid! My character's probably dead now...dammit... 

[Gilbert frowns contemplatively at the screen]

Does this function as a phone too? Can I send SOS videos on it? Although I don't think the coastguard can help me unless they pack a submarine underneath their tower chair things. Hellooooo~ anyone out thereeeee~ or am I a crazy person talking to a starfish?

Good. Now you won't get sick.

[He hasn't moved from the door. Shopping was Dolores' thing, not his. He just felt weird in stores that didn't have cigars.]

Let's get out of here, you need to ind a place to stay too. I didn't drag you this far to have you bum on the sidewalk.

[Still grumpy but...he really is a nice guy very deep down.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

Eh? [Gilbert seems surprised, staring at Valerie blankly] Some place to stay? You letting me crash at your place or something?

[Action]*cough* wrong account....

[used2btoonpi]

Hell no.

There's apartments you can look at and stay at. Most stuffs free here, includin' space.

Re: [Action]*Mistakes happen <3*

[kivaember]

Oh. [Gilbert seems almost disappointed. He hated being in a house or apartment by his lonesome. It was why he still lived with his brother even though Germany no longer needed his guidance.]

Re: [Action]*Mistakes happen <3*

[used2btoonpi]

[Eddie likes being on his own. The only person he'd let live with him isn't here and he's not expecting him anytime soon either.

He's noticing the lonely thing steadily.]

There's communal apartments too, if you're too lazy to make your own food or something.

Re: [Action]*Mistakes happen <3*

[kivaember]

[Communal sounded better] Hmm...I think I'll find a friend... [says this slowly] I know Can- Matthew is here somewhere. [Canada was used to Gilbert randomly crashing at his place - well, back home, but here isn't any different, right?]

[Action]

[used2btoonpi]

You got someone else here from your world?

[He nods. Good. This Matt guy can get a Gil shaped headache.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

Yeah. Talked to him on this creepy starfish thing whatever.

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

Just call it an SFC. Makes it easier on everyone.

If you know he's here, then I'll let ya find him.

[He's got some lovely jelly beans waiting at home for him to drown his sorrows in.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

[Yes, let Gilbert wander about all alooooone~ well, Gilbert'll manage. He was good at finding things.] Hrn. [suddenly looks a bit uncomfortable, and he kicks at the ground before turning to Valerie with a slight scowl, his cheeks a bit red] ...hmph! Well, thanks for helping me, I guess. Even if you punched me, you asshole.

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[Hey, he doesn't know that's a bad idea yet.

Course he does notice that kick and pout (because scowl is too manly) and he sighs to himself. Why was he so gullible for pitiful idiots?]

Look, I'll punch you again if you're gonna end up getting lost after all this. Do you know where this MAtt guy exactly?

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

[Gilbert takes too long to respond] ...I can find him.

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[And...Eddie just stares flatly at him.]

Really.

[He sighs to himself again.]

What's he look like.

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

[Gilbert huffs a little.] I can! But...if you're offering help, he's blond, got glasses, and is Canadian.

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

Sure, kid.

[...]

Canadian? What the hell kinda description is that? He walkin' around in a hockey mask or somethin'?

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

No! [Snorts.] He's just...y'know, Canadian! [He's Canada for fuck's sake! Although he supposed that not many people could get 'Canada' vibes from someone by a glance.]He has a pet talking bear!

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

I'll just stick to blond with glasses. How tall is he?

[Yeah, not everyone is strange like that, Prussia.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

I dunno. He's like...maybe an inch shorter than me? [Gilbert isn't the tallest of the nations, and he knows that Canada is the same. So they're about the same height? But Gilbert was obviously taller. Yes.]

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[Tiny blondes.]

Okay.

That should work. I guess.

[Geez, how was he supposed to look for someone so...nondescript
in a place he barely knew?]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

You'll spot him easily [Nevermind that most of the nations completely forgot Canada's existence on a daily basis - even his /brother/. Gilbert always remembered Canada though, because he made awesome pancakes and he fed him lots of said awesome pancakes.]

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[Wait until he learns the whole 'country' thing. That will be the first thing to weird him out in a long while.]

Yeah, yeah...why am I takin' your word on that?

[Come on chump, let's find not-America.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

Because I'm awesome. [Gilbert gives a little smirk, and starts off in a random direction] We'll find him eventually!

Re: [Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[Why is he following? Oh well, this could be annoyingly interesting.]

Yeah, right.

[Okay...maybe just annoying.]

Re: [Action]

[kivaember]

[Gilbert doesn't like silence, so don't mind him as he chatters] So Valerie, what does a grump like you do, anyway? Unless there aren't any jobs in Kidnapping Land and you do nothing but grumble at the horse tracks every weekend.

[Action]

[used2btoonpi]

[Glaring.]

I'm a detective and I don't go to the ponies.

[He has another vice to fund, pal. No horse collars for him.]

Wait...kidnapping land? The hell does that mean?
