001 Ciao, sono Feliciano Vargas!

Action: 340 Brady Lane, Morning

Good morning Brady Lane! It's yet another day in Mayfield, with the birds cheeping, the sun shining, the fresh milk provided by the milkman in bottles at the front door...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~!! GGGEEEEERRRMMMMMAAAAAANNNNNNNYYYYYYYYY~

...and yet another new resident in the house. Patchouli, Meiling and Koakuma, say hi to the new dad of the house. He's currently running around the place, freaking out and throwing his arms in the air in his panic.

Around Town

There's someone new in town, and he's looking absurdly lost and frightened. When drones address him, all he does is give a frightened yelp and squeak out something that goes along the lines of how he has family in America.

Phone

P-p-pronto? Ciao, this is I-i-italia Venezi-zi-ziano. Is, is Germany there? Or my fratello, or M-Mario...?

phone;

[extraordinarily]

You're new, aren't you?

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

Ah! I'm sorry I promise I won't do anything wrong so please don't get angry or hit me!!

[extraordinarily]

Huh? I'm not mad.

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

You aren't...?

[He sniffs on the other side of the phone.]

So I didn't get sent here because I did something wrong?

[bread_goes_bip]

[Deaht smiles at him softly]

You look a bit lost.

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Oh, the lady seems nice. Italy nods very sadly.]

Si. I woke in this strange town, and I'm far away from my family and friends, I don't know what to do.

[bread_goes_bip]

[Death nods]

It happened to all of us, at some point. Don't worry about the people who say you've always lived here, they only know how to say what's in their script. The rest of us know something strange is going on.

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

But why did I wake up here then? I don't remember flying to America's place, and my boss is pretty strict with me so I can't go and visit all my friends as much as I want because I'm sick.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Have a not!drone not!wife reaching out of the kitchen door to grab the man by the collar. She stands tall, and her bright red hair is tied back to not get in her way. The intimidating stance and strength is at odds with her pink frilly apron and smudges of batter on her cheeks. ] Stop shouting! [ She looks more startled than angry, but still, gotta question the intruder. ] Who are you?

This is just like the first time Italy met Germany.

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[He stops shouting, but now, he starts wailing. And in Italian which probably makes things harder to understand as it is...]

[not_so_great_wall]

[ That is not one of the three languages she knows, so she just starts talking louder. That totally compensates, right? ] Listen! You need to calm down, or you're going to wake Patchouli up! [ Don't make her put you in a headlock. If that's what it takes... ]

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Oh, he'll be waking someone up from a siesta? That's bad! Feli immediately quietens down, but he still emits whimpers and sniffles.]

Around Town

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland's taking his lunch break when he swears he totally heard some familiar blubbering. In Italian no less. Of course there's only one way to know for sure so he'll just follow the sound of terrified squeaking while snacking on his lunch.]

Italy?

Re: Around Town

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[There is no mistaking that accent.]

POLONIA~!!

[Have a charging Italy come running right at you.]

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland's eyes light up, quickly swallowing his paluszki stick. It really was Italy!]

Italy~!

[He'll charge at him right back with arms outstretched, because this is how grown teenage men greet each other.]

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Feli gives Felix one great big bro hug, with happy reunion tears. It's the EUROPEAN WAY.]

Polonia, I'm so happy to see you!! It's been horrible here, I don't feel like myself here, and everyone says I've been living in this town but I've never even been to this part of America's house, and I have a scary lady living in my house and she's like Germany because she's really strong and big just like the women at Germany's house, and I can't feel Venice, or Milan, or any of my people at all!!! I just want to go back home and eat my pasta, but I don't know how because I don't even know where this place is and I don't have my mobile phone with me so I can't call Germany or Romano or Mario to help me out!!

[ around town ]

[outlandished]

[ Cue Ambrosia staring at Italy as if he's already lost his marbles.

Cue her going over to help the poor sap out. ]

Oi, love -- what seems t' be th' problem? First day here or somethin'?

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

S-si. Someone told me that I was kidnapped here, and I don't want to be kidnapped or hurt. Usually my best friend Germany comes to rescue me, but I haven't seen him yet and I don't know whether he's coming or not.

[Sniff]

[outlandished]

...wait, wait - hold yer anchor. Did ye say Germany as in th' country Germany? Ye know, th' landmass?

[ Yeah, that was the only thing she got out of that mess. ]

Around Town

[kinship]

[He's not exactly Germany, but he IS German, so the accent might be comforting at least.]

Hey... are you okay? You look a little lost.

Re: Around Town

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[Oh, one of Germany's people. Yes, it does cheer Feli up a little.]

I'm just sad because I can't go home, and the people keep saying I'm American but I'm actually Ita...lian. I don't want to be American, they don't have nice culture and art and their foods full of grease and it's not very healthy...

[kinship]

Ah... please don't look so sad, there are people here from all over and nobody will think you're lying to say you're from somewhere else.

[Poor man, he must have a lot of national pride to be upset at that.]

[in the house] ohgod I'm late the last few days have been busy irl D:

[littlest_devil]

[It's loud. Very loud. Loud enough, in fact, to startle Koa awake and— THUD. That was her falling out of bed and hitting her bedroom floor, and fairly hard I might add.

Even for anyone presently downstairs, the remainder of the girl's reaction can be heard pretty clearly, and might be loud enough to wake Patchouli if the panicking didn't already do so:]

W-what was that?!

Ha ha, no prob!

[pastapasta_i_love_pasta]

[When Koakuma comes down later, she'll see Feli happily cleaning up and singing a cheerful Italian song to himself.]

[littlest_devil]

[That would be the first thing she notices when she makes it downstairs.]

Um... [Cough.] E-excuse me.
