Graveyard - Week 5 - Tuesday - Jack & Newt
Sep. 6th, 2017 01:12 am[Listen it's very sad that almost all of Prussia's friends are dead, but. Prussia couldn't wait til Austria was dead to make plans with out her! Which was rude and callous and rude. Prussia's always excluding her from everything important!
Now it's Austria's opportunity to exclude.]
So.
What exactly were you two doing with Prussia where I couldn't see?

Graveyard - Week 4 - Saturday - Yato
Sep. 4th, 2017 01:22 am[It's late, most people have gone to bed, and the television has been flicked off for a while... Even this late into things though, Austria and Yato have still managed to keep their claim to their respective couches.
Austria idly plays with the pages of her book, not really being able to focus much on the pages even with her reading glasses.]
...
Were you really so offended when I lied to you about my parting words?
[She's had a lot of time to dwell on things with Prussia now and spent a lot of time here with Yato. So. Maybe she finally felt poorly about the whole thing.]

Prussia,
If you're reading this note then I must have been executed. How disappointing. I had truly wanted to find justice for Joshua's murder. It's more than a little egregious that things turned out this way. Although not unexpected.
I do have some things that you will be taking care of as well in my absence:
You will ensure that Dr. Geisler receives my piano after my execution. It's better that it is utilized and cared for rather than left to rot in disuse.
You will ensure that Herr Jacopo is allowed to use it as he pleases once a day as per our verbal binding agreement. The rest of the terms shall not be disclosed or the agreement is null and void.
Attached is also some sheet music titled 'Lacie' I've transcribed for Herr Vessalius which you will ensure is given to him. He has no one here who is aware of his preferences in music and he was particularly fond of this arrangement. He does not play himself so he will have to find someone else to play it for him you are not obligated to make those arrangements.
Under my bed you will find three coconut shell cups I attempted to carve designs into. I only finished two. You are to leave them with Frau Yona and Frau Jinah. You will not ask them what they are for. You will not follow either of them to find out what they are for.
You may have my hair brush. Use itoften. every day. You fool. You're welcome.
I would like to specifically note that none of these things mean that I had any particular feelings one way or the other for anyone here. I don't want you misconstruing anything in my absence. It's important that people are able to proceed about their lives as normally as possible.
Please give my regards to my bosses and inform them of my demise whilst abroad. I regret there is quite a bit of work I had neglected to finish. I assumed I would have infinitely more time given what we are and what we have been for centuries. Hopefully, Germany will not be overly put out by picking up my extra slack until something suitable can be arranged in my absence. I'm sure once the novelty of the situation wears off, my people will ultimately be fine and proceed as normal.
Unless some one made an excellent argument for some one else, I will have chosen you to do the honors. I know you would never forgo the request in the presence of others.I apologize for making yo
Ultimately my demise by your hand was likely not as 'awesome' as you have probably dreamed it would be. However, I tried to oblige a previous request of yours in my final moments. I suppose it was the least I could do after you made an effort to stay with me when I was most desolate.Even though I had specifically requested that I be left alone.
Again. I am. . . . apologetic that I made you incapable of keeping your word. If we both die, I will be most cross with you for eternity so do make it back home so that you may get my affairs in order.
Regards,
Austria

Monday- Evening - Hut
Aug. 14th, 2017 11:09 pm[Austria gently drums her fingers against the top of her piano, occasionally sparing a glance towards Joshua's side of the room.
It's been a while since Austria's lived with someone else, let alone a teenager. Joshua seems to be more of a handful than Italy ever was. Not to mention insufferable. A brat. Generally disliked by everyone who talks to him...
Where was she going with this train of thought again? Oh right. She's supposed to be the adult regardless.]
I apologize for voting for you at the trial.
Part of it was curiosity as to whether or not it would count as breaking a rule. Part of it was because I was unconvinced of Herr Yato's guilt and didn't want to be complicit in his framing.
And you're correct. Part of it was that you are genuinely infuriating to interact with on practically every level.

Friday - Beach
Aug. 11th, 2017 10:05 pm[Prior to the crowd dispersing in its entirety, Austria discretely signals to Prussia that she would like to talk. She can’t assume that there will be any privacy in her hut at the moment and Austria would rather not limit her ability to converse with Joshua’s personal itinerary. As much as she hates the ocean, she’ll eventually start making her way to a secluded spot on the beach for some privacy with Prussia.]
…Quite the display, wasn’t it?
[Austria’s legs buckle thinking about it again. This time she’s sure it’s not from the walk.]

Dear Kuzuryuu,
The last thing you must have wanted was someone laying down their life in order to protect you. Forgive me for causing you that pain again.
However, it wasn't just about wanting to protect those forced to kill from killing or protecting the mastermind.
There's nothing dangerous about being labeled dispensable in this house. I'm sure that I probably could have made it to the end of things quite comfortably if I didn't stir the pot. But I didn't want to stand idly by as the game continued. I didn't want to sit by and be helpless any longer.
I have no understanding of what a nation really is or what exactly I was supposed to do in the event I got home, but I knew that there were people here who deserved a better life than this. I did something terrible by ending Spain's life and I don't expect to be forgiven for it-- but I didn't want anymore lives to end in vain as the game rolled on.
Follow your heart, believe in yourself, trust in your friends and do what you think needs to be done with your head held high.
Peko and I will watch out for you.
With love,
Austria

Austria > Maribelle
Jul. 22nd, 2014 05:01 pmMaribelle,
I'm sure you're quite angry with me, which is perfectly fine with me. Because you're alive to be angry with me.
I don't expect you to agree with what I've done or to like that I acted on your behalf.
However there's no changing what I've done now so you might as well make the best of it.
The fact that you're listed as dead weight is because they view you as a threat. You're talented and clever
and in the face of oppression you stand tall and resolute. They fear you and the things you can accomplish alive.
They want to be rid of you because you are the kind of person who alongside everyone else can end the game.
Crush our enemy under your heel. Trust in the friendships you have made here and believe in them.
Show the producers no mercy for the lives they have destroyed here and the pain they have caused the living.
And keep that damned butler and Herr Apollo from ruining everything.
With Love,
Austria
ps - I've entrusted you with my apple strudel recipe. I'd like you to make it for Lissa when you get home.

Austria to Iceland
Jul. 22nd, 2014 04:00 pm Dear Iceland,
Thank you for always making an effort to try to get me to see what I didn't want to see.
I've never been the easiest person to deal with. Worse so when it comes to telling me things I don't want to hear.
I appreciate your persistence and how you were always looking out for my best interests.
Herr Apollo doesn't know what he's talking about. You're one of the most caring individuals I've ever known.
It's obvious to me that your people are very fortunate to have someone like yourself looking out for them.
Please don't blame yourself for any of my choices. I'd already decided what I thought needed to be done.
I'm sure you wouldn't have been able to talk me out of it anyway given how stubborn you knew me to be.
Enclosed are a few words for other members of the household. If you could deliver them as my final request I'd be indebted.
Please look out for Wriggle in my absence... I left a piece of music for her. If you could play it on the violin for her I'd appreciate it.
Thank you for being my friend, even if I wasn't a good one to you.
With love,
Austria
ps. -- But in the interest of looking out for one another: I still very firmly believe that no one needs to drink that much coke.

[Written on the back of the letter, Austria has transcribed Wriggle's song that she hummed to her in the gardens, to sheet music for the violin.]
[Today's gathering with be featuring sachertorte paired with einspaenner coffee.]
I don't see why you find this sort of thing so embarrassing, really.
There's nothing shameful about partaking in my baking.

Danke for joining me, I hope this isn't too inconvenient. [Lunch is probably Nanami's breakfast with her sleeping habits... not that Austria's are any better by comparison.]

Week Six: Monday - Music Room - Morning

Guten morgen Herr Iceland.
Would you like to join me for a slightly later breakfast?
[She prepared some desserts and coffee for Maya's picnic. Lots of desserts. Too many desserts so she brought some with her in the event he might want to eat something while they talk.
Everyone really wants sachertorte for breakfast right?]
