Locked to Murder Nations

[pasodoble]

( Sunday afternoon, after the incentives and lists have gone up, the nations meet.

The bed is unfixed and there are some clothes hanging around which gives it a cluttered appearance but otherwise, Spain's room in Emerald Wing doesn't appear to be in bad shape.

Closing the door behind them, he'll rush around the sitting area, tossing the clothes onto the bed and into the cabinet carelessly. He'll also leave the liquor cabinet open with several glasses on top. From the looks of it, he's been using it himself.

It only takes a few seconds for him to make his last minute preparations and then he cuts straight to the point. )

We need to work together.

You can trust friends.

The point is to act more like humans than not, right?

[mostlymarried]

...I'm amazed you can even say that.

[pasodoble]

I'm a rather amazing person.

( Elaborate, Belarus. )

[mostlymarried]

If being human leads to the same mistakes as today, I refuse.

I'm only saying that in this trial, there was a problem.

We're all from different worlds and I'm under the impression that in some of these worlds, there aren't people like us. Or, if there are, they simply haven't met them yet.

It isn't easy for everyone to understand where we're coming from and as we saw this week, it was even easier to dismiss our thoughts on the matter as no better or worse than the others. They had no way of knowing how many lives depended on us and we didn't know either. What they did know was everyone's life was on the line.

They might not be able to understand us because they don't understand how we, as nations, live but as nations, we should be able to understand people, right?

Humans aren't perfect and neither are we. We might not be humans but being human is a part of our nature.

( Awkward laughing )

Or at least, thats' what someone I know might say! I'm not very good at these philosophical discussions.

[mostlymarried]

...We come from a flawed base; is that your argument?

[she can't exactly argue with that]

Even so, we should do better.

[pasodoble]

I'm saying no one is perfect. Even me.

( Laughing at his own joke but then going back to being serious, )

Like I told Latvia, we can only do our best to stay safe and sound here.

[mostlymarried]

If you are asking me to forgive that murderous bastard, it will not happen.

Well, it is a bit much to ask now and I'll admit, I'm not quite ready myself but...

( This could turn into a religious debate but serious matters give him a stomach ache so he'd rather resolve this simply. )

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
