[ 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. ]

i'm so sorry for him...

[it takes awhile for Germany to formulate a proper response]

How are you so easy going as to believe in this sort of illogical situation? You should be more skeptical and look into researching our situation. [yes, he's in lecture mode, feel free to tune him out]

Not only are you easily believing in this, you are happily going along with it and helping the situation to perpetuate itself. Instead of offering some form of resistance, you are offering hugs of all things.

And why would you think that free hugs are some sort of deal? Unless you normally charge for them. [yes, Germany just went there] Is this normal behavior in your home? [and he went further] Or is this some sort of trick to sexually harass innocent and gullible bystanders? In which case you must cease and desist at once. You are not representing us as nations very well. [someone needs to stop him, please, he just keeps going, and he's going to embarrass himself]

You should be assisting me in formulating a way of solving this city's energy crisis in an environmentally conscious and morally dis-ambiguous manner, so we can go home and back to our problems. Do I need to remind you that you needed to work on your economy?

[and here he pauses to draw a breath, Spain could try and get in a word edgewise]

[ omfg what is this? ]

[tercio]

[ Well now he's just offended by half of the stuff you're spewing out!! ]

Re: i'm so sorry for him...

[tercio]

[ And now he's just bored.

Is this really going on for this long? ]

[tercio]

[ Seems like a good time for a mental siesta... ]

[tercio]

[ Oh wait! Is that complete silence??

NOW'S HIS CHANCE!!

Spain snaps awake! ]

DONE

Hey hey, Alemania!

You're not sore about the free hugs, are you? I'm just making the best of the situation while trying to help people out! No need to bring my economy into this, that's kind of personal, don't you think??

Are you feeling low on energy? Do you need someone to touch your back or pat you on the head?

...maybe it's for the best if you're feeling less energetic than this...

It became my problem when it began to effect the Eurozone as a whole. No nation is an island, except in the literal sense.

I am fine right now. [and he's sure that Italy would come over and hug him regularly, if it was actually necessary]

[tercio]

[ It isn't fair to have Italy give you all your hugs! Not fair to Italy and not fair to Spain, you selfish selfish German. ]

I don't think I'm doing anything negative. If anything, this should generate tourists and promote my economy!

[ There's nothing countryly to do here. ]

[vereinigt]

If this has any effect on things back home. [always such a Devil's advocate]

[tercio]

Are you being lazy?

[vereinigt]

Nein! I am being practical!

[tercio]

Why are you so angry all the time?

[vereinigt]

I am not angry. [there is that look] I am confused how ridiculous and unprofessional you can be.

[lies. He really is angry at Spain, but is trying to be polite, trying to show he doesn't have to be yelly]

[tercio]

So mean, Germany! I'm very professional, you're just crazy!

[ Well, now Spain's yelly. ]

[vereinigt]

I am not crazy. I do not understand how this business venture is professional.

[tercio]

Supply and demand! You should know about that with your good economy! People demand hugs, I can supply them.

And coffee.

[vereinigt]

I do not believe you understand what Supply and Demand is. If Supply is low, in this case people willing to hug, and Demand is high, in this case people that believe not hugging will cause illness, then you are supposed to raise the price of the supply you have.
