Arrival~ [Video] Or ~ [Action for those in Dissimulo]

[A close up of a pair of clear blue-grey eyes can be seen as the camera clicks on. At first Gellert doesn't realise that the video is running as he's not used to such a modern device. He can be heard speaking to himself and can be seen properly after a moment when he pulls the communicator back.]

[In German]

What is this...

This is very peculiar indeed... Some kind of Muggle communications device, perhaps?

Can anyone hear me? If you can then maybe you are the ones who brought me here and I demand you return me at once! I do not know what kind of game you are playing but when I find you, you will certainly know you are dealing with no ordinary wizard.

..... Hello?

[He taps on the screen then laughs - the sound strangely bright given the circumstances.]

I feel like I am talking to myself...

[He looks up and around himself. Behind him the Dissimulo church can be seen and probably some Christmas decorations too. His eyes turn to the screen again.]

Hello?

[In English.]

Hello? Is anybody hearing this?

Germany, though I'm also referred to as Ludwig. Either is acceptable.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Germany...? I am from Bavaria.

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

Is that so! What year is it?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It is currently 1905 - or was.

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

So a few years behind myself. You'll want to keep in mind that many of the citizens here originate from different points in time--some not even from the same world as you.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

But you are?

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

Well. You're part of me, you might as well be.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Because Bavaria is now part of Germany that somehow makes me... part of you?

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

You're my citizen, no?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Is that how you think of it? I suppose you could say that... but I'm not sure if I understand this country personification. Enlighten me?

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

Enligh--...

Hrn. Well. I'm not very good at explaining this, but more or less I'm the human representation of the landmass you know as Germany. I suppose, if I put it in terms that made sense, I "represent" ever aspect of German life style: political, cultural, economical. There are a number of us, one for each country, and even more considering colonies out there. If there wasn't one of me, idiots like France or England would over run the nation.

Is there a Bavaria around here then?

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

No, alas, the only other Germans I know here are my brother and sister: Both are Prussia, but Gilbert and Anna accordingly.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

There are two named Prussia? I did speak to a lady by that name earlier.

[brotundbier.livejournal.com]

That was likely her. She's a good, strong nation, as is my brother.
