I feel really bad that I missed the holiday stuff... [a pause] Maybe I shouldn't have went and wandered around the mansion for so long like that.

Though I wonder how everyone's doing. Anyone have some plans for the New Year?

I'd like to hear them if anyone's willing to share~~~

Oh~!! Gil also told me there's people here who are... [a pause as he thinks] human forms of nations or countries and said there's a lot of them here. I only wondered because I want to meet you all.

You'd make history seem so much cooler than what I learned in all of my textbooks!

Ah... they call it the Abyss. For me, I was only there for not even ten minutes but when I got out, it had been ten years..

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

O-oh wow. I'm sorry. That's...a lot to have to face, and you seem really young...

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be sorry, it's... fine.

As for me, my age? I'm fifteen~

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Fifteen isn't that old to a nation! But I guess you aren't a kid anymore.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Well... technically i'm twenty five. I just look fifteen still~

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

If that time didn't pass for you, I'd say you're still fifteen.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

I always liked thinking that I really am twenty five, since time passed for everyone else.

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Well what you think about it is what matters most!

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

I-It is?

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Well, sure! You're the one it affects, after all.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

You have a point~

If you don't mind me asking~~ How old are you?

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Weeeeell, that depends on how you look at it! I gained my independence in 1947 and it's 2009 now, so you could say that I'm 62 years old. But I existed before independence, so I'm really actually older than that.

And obviously my body is that of a child because I'm still rather young for a nation! So it's a little hard to say.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Whoah~ You're like my friend Break~

Nobody knows how old he really is either.

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Hm, but if he's a human, he should know, right? With nations it's a little less straightforward.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

He does, but he's been around for a while but he doesn't physically age.

[pakisunotpaku.livejournal.com]

Huh. Your world sounds really interesting!

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

It is~

There's a lot of unusual things that are in my world, actually.
