[video] 1st grievance.

[unnoticeable]

[Highly unamused and definately more than just a tiny bit wet, there was a rather unhappy Canadian sitting on the edge of a fountain in the Plaza. Admittedly, he had nearly knocked his SFC into the fountain, but after fumbling for a few moments he had recovered and managed to activate it.]

S- so. This is a bit s- strange, I do have to admit... and I hate to be imposing, but can someone please tell me what's going on?

Don't play dumb America, you know perfectly well what's--

[Wait something's wrong. That is America, right...?









...Oh wait. No. No it's not.]

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

Oh bollocks.

[Who's looking momentarily upset? Canada. But it's okay. He's smiling briefly again and gently correcting him.]

I- it's Canada, Sir. not America. [There's at least a consolation prize for being on the right continent.]

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yes. I...realized after scolding you. Terribly sorry, Canada. You just look so similar, it's hard to...to tell you apart.




Erm. So did you just arrive?

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

But he's the l- [Nevermind. It won't do any good complaining and pointing out differences. He knows this, at least, and is willing to save him the pointlessness of the effort.]

I would say that, yes, that's a safe assumption to make.

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

And has anyone explained this mess to you?

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Not really. But then again, I really haven't pressed. I s- sort of figured the answers would somehow come.

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

Well, I could explain things if you'd like. Though I don't know everything, I've been here a good couple months.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

That already qualifies you as a good person to recveive answers from, then. Besides. Can one say that they truly know everything, anyway?

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

You're quite right on that. Hm. Well this is Vatheon, and as you can see it's under the water. There's no way out, though so I wouldn't suggest looking. Wasted a whole bloody week...

Oh yes, and there are these strange things that happen every couple weeks. Curses, I believe they call them. They cause raining ducks and body switching and such.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

No way out? [There was a soft sigh.] I suppose that's to be expected. If I was running a place that could pull people in, I wouldn't make getting out easy, either. [Logic! Or something like that, anyway.]

Is there- is there any way to avoid these things or do they eventually find you one way or another, anyway?

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried. Avoiding them, that is. Though it doesn't seem there is, since most everyone is effected.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

...I'll let you know how well it works then. [He tends to have better avoidance skills, but for some reason he sees it as mission: impossible. Doesn't mean it won't hurt to try though. One never knows.]

[taxationwithout.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to hear of it. Though do be careful. This place can be quite the mess.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

I'm always careful. [Unlike others they know.]
