Action: A
[It's a deceptively pleasant afternoon. The weather is cool just enough for a stroll, and robins are chirping in the background. And there's a flowerbed. There's not much in it, but it extends from the porch outward toward the curb.

But if you get too close to the freshly planted bulbs and bushes you'll have a piercing shot with a near terrifying accuracy--or close to it. It's mostly a warning shot. Or is it?

Action: B

[You're going about your errands, work, walks, what have you. Perhaps peacefully, perhaps groggily considering the latest event. Don't mind a speeding motorbike skidding impatiently at red lights, short of running poodles over.]

Phone

Haha... Ahaha. [A choked sob, followed by a shaky breath.] I knew it would happen. I knew it.

[OOC: As an after effect of the surgery, Hungary's hair has gone completely white. Her brain was modified to induce extremely violent tendencies.]

...Ungheria? What.... what happened?

[balaton]

Oh, Italy dear.

I'm cured.

[tomatatas]

...From what? [Oh you called her Italy ohh...]

[balaton]

[Well, she is Italy...] I always knew there was something wrong with me, that I wasn't like everyone else.

But now everything is just right.

[tomatatas]

[That doesn't stop most calling her Romana...] Un...gheria, I don't know what you mean. Si, you're a nation, that would make you different to humans I guess...

[balaton]

Oh, silly! I meant among our kind.

No man will ever belittle me now!

[tomatatas]

...What? [So. Confused.]

[likesottlyfab]

You knew ...what would happen?

[Poland sounds slow, lethargic and just not himself over the phone. Previously latent radiation poisoning came back full swing for him once that machine in the dairy was destroyed... but talking to his gal pal should totally take his mind off the clump of hair that pulled off his head and onto his hair brush this morning.]

[balaton]

[She doesn't notice the sluggishness in his voice as adrenaline takes over]

It grew! I finally have one!

[likesottlyfab]

Grew what? [Rests his face against the table.]

...Like. A new flower... or something?

[balaton]

[Ok, she can only be sympathetic for so much] A cock, you dumbass! What else?!

[likesottlyfab]

... [There is an incredibly long pause.]

Um...?

[balaton]

About time something good came out of this infernal place. [can you hear the butterflies and flowers in her voice yet?]

[likesottlyfab]

I thought you were over that whole penis thing-- wait what?

...You grew one?

[Nina's heard this woman's voice over the phones before. Seen her around a few times, too. She doesn't know what she can do, but she's worried.]

What happened?

[balaton]

Something most wonderful!

I'm finally a man!

[thegirltwin]

You're what?

[balaton]

It's about time this damned town did something good for me.

[technophiling]

What happened?

[balaton]

I am cured!

[technophiling]

Ah... that's wonderful news, Ungari. Congratulations.

[He had no idea she was sick, and now he feels bad. This is now helping with his general confusion and distress this week.]

[balaton]

Now everyone's going to pay for ridiculing me.


I need to find Russia.

[technophiling]

Wait, who was ridiculing you for being sick?

[Does this have to turn into a defending-a-Uralic-friend's-honour type of deal? Because he really doesn't have time for it, but he can, if he has to.]

[balaton]

I never said I was sick, silly.

I'm finally one of the boys. [Proudly, Estonia] And no one will push me around for being a "woman", least of all that big oaf.

[technophiling]

But you're... [He's so confused. This feels like that moment he realized she was actually physically female. Which was a confusing moment itself.]

B-but you said you were-- Ah. I see.
