4th Battle ✙ [Text]

[cantbewalled]

[So Prussia has found out by today that he is kind of low on those things called 'friends' and he is still currently stuck with the inability to talk. He would really like to not have that problem anymore and from what the kedan have said, he's got one shot to do it.

If he can find sponsors of all things.]

Okay, so who else has heard from the damn kedan about fixing whatever the hell happened a few months ago? When people were turning into poltergeists all over town.

[Of course everyone remembers right.]

So tell me about yourselves! Everybody's got to have some similarities. I want to know how we're alike.

[Bother to explain why he wants to know? Explain what these two things have to do with each other? Of course not! Takes too many words. Although for good measure he does put the message up in English, somewhat old-fashioned French, and Russian, too, not just German.]

[An abrupt change of topic, but ah well.]

One. Older. Nikolai.

[cantbewalled]

Did all the little brothers end up on this turtle or what. Was he a good brother?

[justlittle]

I only knew him briefly. We weren't raised together, long story. But he's a good brother, I think.

[cantbewalled]

Lots of siblings aren't raised together, it's not a big deal.

So what else is there about you, kid? Favorite food. Book. Do they make you go to bed on time around here?

[justlittle]

Fruit, anything fresh. Military histories. No one tells me when to go to bed.

[cantbewalled]

[Now he's got Prussia's attention.]

Which militaries? How far back are you looking? Anything from before the 20th Century? Nothing beats the good ol' days when you used to get to fight man to man and sword to sword.

[justlittle]

[ugh pretend I actually remember what the book said Bean reads]

Any military, anything that uses new techniques to organize their troops for attack. European strategists mostly.

[cantbewalled]

Have you read any books about Frederick the Great of Prussia? He's one of the best strategists there was!

[justlittle]

I have. He was alright. He did well in uniting the disparate lands of Prussia.

[thank you, Wikipedia]

[cantbewalled]

He was better than alright! He knew what the country needed and wasn't afraid to take it or work to keep it. And he still kept us out of most of the dumb wars everyone else was starting.

[justlittle]

I take it you're Prussian, then.

[cantbewalled]

As Prussian as you can get. What's your name, kid?

[justlittle]

Bean. Or Julian Delphiki, if you prefer.

[cantbewalled]

Hah, Bean. That's cute. [Sorry all other names are going to be ignored in favor of that one.] Name's Prussia. What are you doing on Friday?

[justlittle]

[A Prussian named Prussia. Well, Bean isn't one to judge names.]

I have no plans. Why?

[cantbewalled]

[Don't ask Bean. He will not explain it well.]

The kedan said we need to find people who are similar to we are for some weird thing they need to do to fix the dumb shit from a few months ago. You passed.

[justlittle]

Alright. Fine. Where do I need to be and when?

[cantbewalled]

[He gives the kid the location the kedan gave him for the ritual.]

If it all goes well I'll take you out for some ice cream...or whatever the hell they have here that's like ice cream.
