[Video - Open]

[Live from Prussia's apartment, it's ill-advised video call time!]

You know why so many names are on this Null hit list right? Cuz we're not stupid. We're not falling for their shit. And if you are, then you're just as dumb as they are. Doubly so if you're the person who's been selling us out.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of you guys, or the Null, or the gods! So if you plan to come after me, know that I'm armed and I'm awesome.

[He gives the camera a confident grin and a wink.

Prussia looks down at his phone for a moment and looks over the list of names. It keeps getting bigger and bigger.]

...Is there really someone here named "Taako Taaco"? [He forgets he actually met this person.]



[Action - semi-closed to Yukari and others]

[Prussia really does have all the confidence in the world about his survival, and maybe too much faith that no one here is actually going to start murdering each other. But just in case, he takes up his duty as a Guard member and heads out to make sure no one is trying anything funny. He's carrying his broadsword nonchalantly over his shoulder, and is even whistling cheerily to himself. What he doesn't know is that there actually is someone who's out to get people, and they have some unsettled business. Thanks to Prussia's casual strolling, Yukari has a good chance of getting the jump on him, too.]

[[OOC - other people can jump in to the Prussia/Yukari fight, but keep in mind that A) Prussia is losing, B) let Yukari tag in this first and C) please keep it all to one thread. Thanks!]]

... you realize there's no actual need to go all heroic and instigate potential killers to go after you, right?

[occupiesvitalregions]

I'm not instigating, this is a warning. Don't try anything, or you'll be sorry. It's that simple!

[outofthefire]

I'd never even heard of the Null until they posted. So far, I'm not impressed. If they're so scary, wouldn't they do their own killing instead of trying to get someone else to do it?

[occupiesvitalregions]

They might be mentioned in that newbie document on the phone, I'll bet. They're this race of robot people that wanna wipe out the gods. And since they're encouraging us to kill each other, you can see how much they care about us, too.

[outofthefire]

[she laughs a little] From the way that list grew? No, they don't seem to care about us at all.

[occupiesvitalregions]

There was a lot of people on it? That's good to hear. I wouldn't like to think that we actually had too many stupid traitors in this group.

[outofthefire]

Yeah, a lot. But what's this about traitors?

[Hey, he’s not dumb. And also tooootally not considering the Null’s offer anyway.]

I am curious as to your definition of “falling for their shit”.

[occupiesvitalregions]

Killing each other off??? Like why should we listen to or trust them at all? We have zero reason to

Video

[utulien_aure]

You do have a partner with you, right? Someone you trust?

[Because if you're going to dare people to come after you, you'd better have a second set of eyes around.]

[occupiesvitalregions]

Don't need one. Everyone's better off babysitting someone who doesn't know how to fight.

[utulien_aure]

Then at least be careful. Dying would be giving the Null what they want.

[occupiesvitalregions]

I've got no plans for dying anytime soon. [Once here was more than enough, thanks.] Do you really think that many people are gonna fall for this?

Action!

[Oh, that Network taunt made Yukari's intentions easier. That moment he decided that Gilbert would be one of the first he'd have to go after. After all, it was practically an invitation.

And when he finds the armed and awesome former-nation, it's almost too easy. With the mercenary Yukari is, he has every movement pegged, moving silently at first. But attacking an unsuspecting victim isn't very beautiful, is it? When he's within paces of Gilbert, he finally taunts him, starting with clicking his tongue in mock disapproval.]

Well, then, Gilbert-chan~ Would you prefer a swift death? Or will you fight with everything you've got? Don't hold back, now~

[And he barely finishes the sentence before charging at Gilbert, swinging his blade with a forceful grace, straight Gilbert's chest.]

[occupiesvitalregions]

[Prussia barely has time to turn and pull up his sword to block the attack, and he staggers back, looking shocked. Once he sees that it's Yukari, though, he immediately gets into a fighting stance, sword out in front of him.]

Damnit... C'mon, don't tell me you're going in on this Null bullshit! Or are you just in a homicidal mood or something?

[fracturedbeauty]

I side with the Null, clearly. But the homicidal mood is there as well. You can choose whichever you like~

[And it isn't long before Yukari is pulling out his trump cards. A wave of Electricity charges in a wave at Gilbert, with the strength to bring him to his knees for a solid few seconds should he succeed.]

I plan to find the God Killer, Gilbert-chan. Why you would oppose the access to the Door that the Null promised is foolhardy on your part. Tell me, what did you really hope to gain? Last we spoke, you wanted to overthrow the deities.

[occupiesvitalregions]

What?! Why is anyone on their si--

[No time to finish that thought. He doesn't have enough time to dodge that electricity attack fully - he's hardly faster than light. It makes him curse out Yukari in German and stumble to the ground, dropping his sword. He's immediately reaches for it again.]

Just because I'm not on the gods' side doesn't mean I'm on the Null's, you idiot!

[pocketspa]

Dude, my name is awesome. Should be on the top of that list, really.

[Just... ignoring the rest of the message, I guess.]

[occupiesvitalregions]

[You'd think that a guy who was actually a country, who hangs around with a bunch of other guys who are countries would understand things like the cultural differences in names. But not this dumbass.]

I didn't know if it was a typo or not.

[pocketspa]

Actually, they spelled my sister's name wrong the first time? So I got to tell them to double fuck off. It was great.

[A small pause.]

Also, I'm like, pretty certain we've met before.

[occupiesvitalregions]

[Prussia squints and leans into the camera. What an old man.]

Oh yeah! I met you in the coliseum. You're a wizard or something, right?

[restinglichface]

[Lup, like her brother, ends up ignoring the rest of the message to give the other man a skeletal stare. If she could frown, she would.]

It's a family name, my man. Don't be rude.

[occupiesvitalregions]

[A talking skeleton?! Awesome! On rare occasions, Hadriel is a totally cool place.]

Okay. But if your last name is already "Taaco", why name the first name the same thing?

[restinglichface]

Like I said, family tradition. We have a Taako Taaco every ten generations, okay. It's important to us and I don't appreciate you shitting on our elven culture.

[occupiesvitalregions]

Hey! I'm not shitting on it. There aren't elves where I'm from, okay? This is all new to me.
