Can't be tamed! // 4th Wall [Video &/or Action]

[fierybluebird]

[You know normal people when things get them down drink, carouse, carry on, lock themselves in a tower and cry for ten years... Okay well maybe not "normal" but people other than Marco do that. Marco on the other hand, grabs a piece of chalk and makes a hopscotch set out in the middle of the most open non-plant infested piece of pavement he can find. And then of course he shows off, because when you can fly and do backflips like nothing, hopscotch is really easy.]

Oi oi, for the life of me I can't remember if there's a rhyme that goes with this, eh?

[Yes, completely showing off with a few backflips.] Anyway, someone want to come play with me?

[Feel free to mock him, yell at him for showing off, try to push him over... you know whatever.]

[Sweden doesn't pull away from the hug and actually hugs back, neither desperately nor distantly - a good manly brohug is always good. Especially when it has been a while.

But he doesn't immediately answer to the question, and when he does it is with a minute shake of his head. It is still too fresh, hard to talk about it, and then he has never been good with words...]

[fierybluebird]

Ah... It's okay matey. I'm glad to see you again.

[rules_the_north]

How long has 't been here?

[It has been roughly 70 years for him. Nothing compared to his own age, but a lot of things have happened, and humans are born and die in that timespan...]

[fierybluebird]

Well, it's May... a little under a year or pregnancy term? I lose track.

I can count, don't mind me.

[rules_the_north]

It's been 92 years fer m'.

[Things have... gotten worse. By a lot. Yet in the married respect, they just have stayed awful, more or less.]

lol no worries, I can't count *at all*

[fierybluebird]

[Eeeek D: Noooo not awful ;;]

Whoa... Ah that's... quite some time, eh. Wait, what year are you from if you don't mind my asking?

[rules_the_north]

1940.

[Aka Europe and Asia are going to hell in a handbasket and his boss disallowed him to come to his w- Finland's aid, so he had to scrape together what little aid he could get. Which was not nearly enough. And then there is Norway and to an lesser extent Denmark who accuse him of being a coward, a disgrace to the family, a traitor, an opportunistic bastard. But what is he to do? His first duty is to keep his people save, and if using the situation to their - his advantage ensures that, he will do it.]

[fierybluebird]

World War 2.

Understood.

Hey. [Pats Sweden's head.] It'll get better, okay?

[rules_the_north]

Th' war will.

[How things will go with his family, and with Finland...is completely unknown. Too much history, and this only adds to it.]

[fierybluebird]

I think the rest too. [Even the stuff with Denmark he's told.]

[rules_the_north]

How do y' know?

[He lets go and will take a step back as soon as marco lets go as well. Not so much to distance himself from him as to be able to look at him properly.]

[fierybluebird]

I had a chance to talk to the others before, eh?

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden nods after a moment - he is not particularely forgetful or anything, but it HAS been almost a century. Some connections he won't make as quickly anymore.]

Who's h're now?

[fierybluebird]

Only Norway. And his troll Odin.

Japan and Ace left -- though I saw them both today, different Ace though, so that's... confusing. America and Tatsumi are still here, and both female and male England. America exchanged his hand for a chainsaw recently. Karkat and Terezei are here but that's it for the trolls. Flandre and Cube are still here. China, Stocking, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Hungary, Cynthia, Little Washu and the rest I'm not sure you ever had a chance to meet.

[rules_the_north]

[Sweden has no idea what a chainsaw is, but that sounds crazy enough for America's antics. He still thinks that there must be Danish blood flowing strongly in the boy's veins.]

...Finland?

[fierybluebird]

[Shakes his head.]

Sorry.

[rules_the_north]

...Good.

[He wouldn't want the other nation to be here alone.]

[fierybluebird]

Ah... right. I always forget most people have better places than this to be, eh?

[rules_the_north]

H' will.

[Not in Sweden's time, but in the future that he is from, he will have it better than here.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm glad. I'm sure you will too, eh?

[rules_the_north]

'm hope so.

[He's about as isolated as one can get right now, at least in the social aspect, but at least his people are as safe as they can be at times like this.]

[fierybluebird]

[Pats his shoulder.]

I'm sure of it Ber. Have a little faith in your people, eh? The rest will fall into place.
