001 ❆ Video

[mengee]

[The video feed begins with a shot of a somewhat perplexed looking nation, though he’s quick to break out into a wide smile upon realizing that the video is recording correctly and gives a quick wave to the camera.

He’s outside and looking particularly flushed, damp, and apparently shirtless, though the camera is only showing him from the head up. Those familiar with the area may note that he’s sitting on a bench outside of one of the wooden saunas in the Freya district.]

Moi, this is Finland!

Even though these Gods are different from the ones I’m familiar with, it’s still nice to see that there’s a real Finnish sauna here, and an electric one too! I wonder what the other kinds of saunas here are like? They may not be vasta branches, but I took some of the tree branches here and tried to—

[But as he moves his arm further away during his rambling to show the branches he’s holding, a scary looking man that may or may not be familiar reaches around Finland and wraps a towel around him in an attempt to cover him appropriately. There might be females watching this! Also nobody is allowed to see this much of his wife where he cannot monitor them. When the camera has moved away far enough to show some of the younger nation's upper body, the towel is successfully wrapped around his body twice and then tied over one shoulder.]

Um.... Swe? What are you doing?

[Yes, this sure is the “wife” that Sweden’s already made three posts about, and he flinches and smiles all too nervously (or would that be leaning more toward 'completely terrified'?) toward the camera before switching the video feed off.]

((ooc: Replies will be coming only from Finland unless Sweden feels the need to comment on something!))

[You can see the face of a teen with green eyes, dark skin and light purple hair, Finland.]

I've never been on a sauna. What's the purpose, sir?

Are you Mr. Sweden's wife? I hope you don't mind me asking, he's very fond of you and mentioned your name to me before.

[mengee]

Saunas are sacred places! They're good for cleansing your mind and spirit and alleviating illnesses, as well as--

[VISIBLY FLINCHING]

You misunderstood too?! No, I'm not his wife--!

[aeterno_arma]

Sacred places? People pray there? [Poor man. Laurent looks confused.] Oh, you prefer the term husband then? My apologies.

[Laurent actually suggested Sweden to call Finland that and not 'wife', but the taller nation didn’t like the idea.]

[mengee]

Not quite, but they're the second most sacred place after the church.

[And now he's putting his hands up in defense.]

I'm not his husband either!

[rules_the_north]

's video.

[He went back to sitting just far enough away to definitely not get into the line of the camera.]

[mengee]

Yes, I realize that, but....

[Plus they're between sauna cycles!]

'veryone can see 't.

[He perks up when he sees Finland's face on the feed. Familiar faces are always good to see! Especially if they are members of the family!] Finland? Hey, first time I've seen ya--

[He cuts himself off as Sweden interrupts with the towel, frowning in confusion before his expression takes on a flatter, more sardonic demeanor. His tone is dry and maybe a little antagonistic, though that's not aimed at Finland.]

Now why are ya doin' that, huh? Finland, don't let 'im do that, ya got nothin' t' be ashamed of.

[mengee]

[Finland, of course, lights right up.]

Denmark! You're really here after all!

[However, his expression only takes a few moments to shift toward insecure. He really shouldn't turn away from something that Sweden did for him as a favor (?), but....]

I thought it was fine too, but Swe seems upset for some reason.

[Or at least his face looks that way. As it often does.]

[gesta_danorum]

That's because Sweden's stupid, ya shouldn't let 'im bully ya like that.

[He says all this pretty cheerfully.]

Why don't ya just strip down all th' way an' call yourself king've th' mountain, that'd teach 'im.

[volcanoes]

You look like a girl with the towel like that.

[Iceland is not that helpful.]

video

[mengee]

That's why I didn't want to wear it!

video

[volcanoes]

So don't if you don't want to.

[unionjackass]

Oi. [Scowling.] Dress yourself properly if you're going to broadcast, yeah? [Not voicing that some time in the sauna sounds wonderful...]

video

[mengee]

I didn't think it was something to worry about, but I guess not everyone here is familiar with sauna etiquette.

video

[unionjackass]

It's not a matter of sauna etiquette. You may be in a sauna but the rest of us aren't.

...

[This is a dumb argument and even England knows it. He actually doesn't have a beef with you bro. 8( ]

[naicha]

Finland should put a shirt on first before he says anything, you know!

video

[mengee]

[Why is she so miffed....]

I'm sorry. I didn't expect anyone to be upset about it.

video

[naicha]

Anyone would be upset if they accidentally saw a thingy.

[amant]

[Just have a Frenchman, raising a brow... looking vaguely amused.]

It looks like he is keeping you from prying eyes, cheri. The Freya district is rather nice though, is it not?

video

[mengee]

Prying eyes?

[But it's a sauna, why would anyone be thinking about something like that? Of course nobody would dare to tarnish its sacred reputation (?).]

I'm more excited than anything that they have facilities like these. I try to visit at least twice or three times a week! It would be nice if I had my own, but I don't mind other people being here either.

video

[amant]

There are prying eyes everywhere, mon cher. [Oh he would know, but darling, you aren't Austria-- not that Austria is muscular, either so HEY.] However, you do have a very protective companion there to help mend these things.

[because they'd be looking at you, pretty boy; not the saaaaauna. Which he needs to visit sometime. Sounds relaxing B|]

I bet if you bat those lashes at the right person you will be able to reserve your own for whenever you want.

[Video]

[mistakenidentity]

I think he's just trying to make you a little more presentable. [A chuckle.]

You're kind of..broadcasting to everyone..

video

[mengee]

I can understand that, but I tried to keep the picture above my shoulders.

[Video]

[mistakenidentity]

Well..yes that's true but..[Pause.]

He's only looking out for you I suppose. Wouldn't want to offend anybody now would you?

[That's totally what it is..sure]
