[ The feed turns on and is faced on Spain sitting in the common room of his apartment building. He's looking rather official and important but it's all a facade so don't be fooled. Considering the short amount of time he's been here, he has already mourned being ripped from his home and come up with a buenísima idea for how to bide his time while he is here. ]

Good afternoon citizens of-- [ ...this place has a difficult name to remember... ] --Hugville! Are you tired of being tired because you didn't get a hug today? But you're also tired of seeking out a hug or befriending people enough to earn a hug? Well, I'm here to tell you not to be tired!

[ He holds up a sign that he painstakingly and lovingly made himself. ]



That's right, amigos! Isn't it cute? I will give FREE HUGS to anyone who needs one! They work every time!

[ He smiles at the camera, hoping that a couple of beautiful señoritas or cute little kids will jump into his arms! It'd be worth the free price if Spain could rescue them from low energy! After a second of seeing his stupid, smiling face, the camera turns off. ]

Comments

Sorry I'm so slow...I should have SLOWATUSED.

[tercio]

Not that I'm saying you should cry because your smiling face is very cute! However, sometimes don't you need to? It can be hard to be positive all the time.

It's all good! I'll backtag to eternity.

[missleadingquestions]

Maybe, but I can't cry for long!

I want to have fun! And I have to keep smiling for Pearly and Nick, or they'll get sad too.

...Even if they aren't here right now.

I'M GLAD. (tears)

[tercio]

Well, you can save all your smiles for them for when you see them again!

Though I get sad when I think of my friends who aren't here...and the...friends...who are here...

[ Germany...England...Switzerland...America is here TWICE too!! Why his life?

Tear. ]

also because yes hetalias

[missleadingquestions]

Are your friends here really that bad?

No Hetalias to him.

[tercio]

I wouldn't exactly call most of them friends, Maya. More like neighbors who you have to hang out with sometimes.

[ A small laugh just to fill space. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Oh-- yeah, I have a few friends like that...

[She's not sure she's thought about Franziska Von Karma so many times in one conversation before.]

But at least they're here for you, right?

[tercio]

They're mostly all right now!

[ Except for a few lingering bits of bad blood... ]

But I'd probably be better off finding new friends. Like you, huh?

[missleadingquestions]

Of course!! You can't ever have too many friends, right?

And it looks like we'll need a lot of friends here.

1/2

[tercio]

Yes! Find friends or die!!

[tercio]

...I'll be on the lookout for you, by the way.

[missleadingquestions]

It's kind of an emergency when you put it that way...!

[She settles quickly, though.]

Huh? What do you mean?

[tercio]

We've only just met but I'll be on the lookout to make sure you don't die!

Even if it means all the touching.

[missleadingquestions]

...It does sound pretty weird when you say it like that [Not to mention scary-- dying in some weird world?! It's a possibility, but not one she wants to think about.]-- but I guess you're right.

[tercio]

So...buddy system?

[ Flawless idea is flawless. ]

We aren't exclusive or anything, we can hug other people. We just will be Friends with Hug-Benefits.

[missleadingquestions]

Well, wouldn't that be every friend we make here, though?

[tercio]

[ Aw, he wanted to be special even if just by name...... ]

Well, not really....

[missleadingquestions]

[Oh-- why is he sulking? She doesn't really get it.]

But it's important because you're one of the first friends I made here, right? So looking out for each other is natural.

[tercio]

[ Because he's mostly an idiot. ]

Right! And I will do my part to make sure you are always looked out for!

[missleadingquestions]

Great!

--Oh, right. Does everyone call you Spain, or should I just say "Antonio"? That's what you said, right?

[tercio]

Yeah, that's my name too, I guess. [ He shrugs. He usually prefers being called Spain. ANTONIO IS HIS SLAVE NAME. But not really. ]

Though I'm just a human here so I can be Antonio! I think. Wouldn't it be funny if I wasn't actually?

woops I took a hiatus too SORRY

[missleadingquestions]

Uh... wait. What do you mean not... human?

[She's a little confused. Well, more like a lot.]

NO WORRIES.

[tercio]

[ ... oh yeah, people around here don't usually meet up LIVING PERSONIFICATIONS OF COUNTRIES. Makes perfect sense to him. ]

Well, I am human. [ HERE. ]

I'm sure you've heard of me! I won the World Cup a few years ago and that was probably all over the news. But I've done more than that too.

[missleadingquestions]

Well I mean, you explained that a little but, you mean--

Wait, on TV? I've never seen you on TV. And I watch the news all the time! It's 2019! Everyone has to stay updated on the news!

[Even if Nick was usually busy washing toilets instead.]

[tercio]

[ ...2019? ]

Wait...you don't?? Do I exist in 2019??

[missleadingquestions]

Well, I mean, I've never been to Spain. But it's still there.


--Wait, you mean you're from the past, too?
