Dual Post 001 ⚜ Video ⚜ The boat

[paysdelamour]

[The scene that appears seems to be inside one of the Navy housing units. To the right is a man that seems very familiar, one ridiculously fashionable Frenchman. To the left, off in the background, is Portugal, who is busy scribbling on something with his back turned to the camera. France smiles a bit before speaking.]

Allo, mes amis! We are busy working on the finishing touches, mais, with a little help from all of you, Afonso and I just might have a plan to leave this island.

[France turns to look over at Portugal to see how it's going along. Then, he turns back to the camera.]

We are planning on making a boat, in the dead of night, and then sailing off the island. It will hold all of us here... that much has been taken care of. What we need is your help to complete this plan.

Would you stop with the dramatics?

Oh, very well then, spoilsport. [Francis may have just given the camera the teeniest bit of a pout.

Portugal pokes his head up from behind Francis for a moment--he's carrying the blueprints to the the boat in his arms, and despite his tone, he can't hide his smile.]

Allow me to describe what is going on, without the Shakespearean touches. I have been informed that every person here can simply wish for the things they want, so we are going to use that to our advantage. Each person is to wish for one part of the boat, as to not arouse suspicion. I have my plans, here.

[He lifts the blueprints, holding them up.] But as for who is wishing for what, I am not completely sure.

[Suddenly, Francis' head pops up in front of the blueprints, his charming smile having reappeared.] And this is where I will come in, mes chéris!

The Rose district, to the North, is closest to the docks. This means that to avoid as much interference from the Rulers as possible, we will meet at the Rose district, use someone's home to summon the parts, and then send them through town to the docks. Ah, if anyone in the Rose district is listening, let us borrow your homes, s'il vous plaît! The sooner we wish all the pieces into being, the better.

From there, we'll all come together and build the boat in the night. I will be supervising the building, and I need to speak with those of you that have any experience in working with this sort of thing. I tried to make the prints as simple as possible, though.

As for any other issues, I will be the captain of the voyage. Needless to say, I have a little bit of experience sailing off the end of the Earth. [Now Portugal's smiling like an idiot.] Does that make sense?

Perfect sense, mon ami. [He gives Portugal a little bit of a smile, before turning back to the camera.]

Alors, to sum up: this will all be happening tomorrow night, into the morning of the 24th. Everyone will meet in the Rose district, and those that are building can take the big pieces to the dock first to get started. Then those that are imagine the parts and bring them to the docks will stay. The rest will follow Portugal. And of course, when it is complete, we may all leave this island.

I suppose this is all we need to say about our plan... mais, if you have any questions, please ask! We will be more than happy to help you. Meanwhile we should continue working, to make sure everything is perfect. Au revoir, mes chéris!

[the screen goes at an odd angle as Prussia fumbles the compact. France is treated to a view of blond hair before it focuses back on Prussia]

Oi! Not like you had any better ideas!

[paysdelamour]

Of course I did. It is the plan we are working with right now.

[awesomemich]

If you were thinking of it then why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends! That's not awesome!

[paysdelamour]

We are, mais - I wanted to make sure all of the details were finalized! I had to make sure it could work.

[awesomemich]

Oi! You should have told me first! You announced it to the whole island before you tell your friend!

[paysdelamour]

[He lets out a soft sigh.] Need I remind you, Prussie, that I told my best friend at the same time I announced it to the island? Yours and mine are not the same thing. You are making it sound as if you were the last one to know, and you weren't!

[awesomemich]

The point is you should have told us first before everyone else! [he meant himself, Spain, England, and America]

[paysdelamour]

Told you first? When all of us can never agree on anything? It was a miracle convincing Afonso to help me in the first place!

[awesomemich]

We know we all want to get out of here!

[paysdelamour]

And that is what I am trying to do, find a way out of here for all of us! Yelling at me is not going to make it go any faster, Prussie.

[awesomemich]

Keep it secret until the last minute from your friends isn't going to make it go any faster, either!

[paysdelamour]

It is not the last minute! If it were the last minute, I would have told everyone else to build the thing before I told you anything!

And as I said before, you do not need six people to design a boat! We only needed two, more people would have just held up the process! Do you want to get off this island, or not?!

[awesomemich]

Of course I want off this island! And it wouldn't have held up the process, Frankreich, it just lost valuable input! [he makes a grunting sound that sounds more like something England would make]

[paysdelamour]

Je m'en fou! Valuable input? It would not have been valuable anyway, it would have been nothing but wasting time and arguing! [He's done arguing, as he simply huffs, and looks away from the screen.]

If you want to help, fine, if not, you can create your own escape plan, Prussie.

[awesomemich]

We're only arguing now because you're stubborn about not getting assistance!

[paysdelamour]

If I didn't want assistance, I wouldn't have asked for it in the first place, imbécile! What's done is done, Prussie! There is no way to change the plans now, so you yelling at me for something I can no longer change!

[awesomemich]

Maybe it will make you think in the future! [was he the only one who thought of cooperating with other nations? Probably something to do with the thinking his brain has been doing lately]

[paysdelamour]

[Considering France cooperated with Portugal on this boat design? No. No he wasn't.]

You are one to talk, Prussie. You are not normally like this; you are as impulsive as Angleterre sometimes.

[awesomemich]

[he was usually... he pauses, he needs off of this island, it was affecting his awesomeness]

Oi! I'm just awesome enough that I always know my ideas are the best in the world!

1/2

[paysdelamour]

[He may have been usually with others, but his relationship with France was different. They rarely cooperated unless Spain was there.]

Then make your own damn boat, if your ideas are so "awesome"! [I worked hard on these blueprints, the least you could do is appreciate the work I've done, the glare in his eyes is saying.]

2/2

[paysdelamour]

[But, he's quick to calm down, even if he is still a bit huffy.]

Or, you may help Afonso et moi. Your choice.

[awesomemich]

[he watches the outburst and the huffy act. His lip curls a bit]

Oi! Stop acting like a girl! I already said I'd help!

[paysdelamour]

Then I will see you at midnight tomorrow, Prussie. I expect you to be there on time.

[If he was acting like a girl he wouldn't have such a desire to punch Prussia. Either way, he scowls before he disconnects.]
