Just in case any of you actually care, that fat Russian guy that's been living in my house since I've been here has been "droned". Good riddance anyway, who cares about Communism anyway? Everyone else getting equal treatment without doing the right thing or knowing the right people? What a stupid idea!

I'm glad to live in a world where you have to actually do something in order to get something. Well, most of you anyway. Too bad you weren't born rich, huh?

B-brother is droned?

[gotmorbucks]

Brother?
I guess, if you're really related to that hulking land mass that lived here.

....

[Tears now....]

A-are you s-sure? I-is his things gone?

M-maybe it's j-ust for a while.....

[gotmorbucks]

If you mean that tank that's been in front of the house forever, yeah, that's finally gone.

[.....oh....the phone just drops to the ground. No. No. No.

Not brother. It couldn't be brother.

Why did you leave. Brother you made me promise never to leave....

Just....crying now.]

[gotmorbucks]

...

H...Hey. Hello?

[It takes a moment but Ukraine manages to get the phone again. She's sitting on the floor now because she doesn't think she can stand at the moment.]

I-I'm s-sorry....

Is....just.

....

[She sniffs and tries to stop the tears from running down her face.]

...th-thank you for t-telling me.

[gotmorbucks]

You're welcome?

Jeez, it's not like he's gone completely. He looks the same, he's just... well, a little creepy.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

That's not brother.

[gotmorbucks]

Isn't it close enough?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

No.

It's worse. Th-that thing. Just looks like him.

Is disgusting.

[gotmorbucks]

You should be lucky that it even looks like him! He could have been replaced instantly!

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

I would rather he didn't look like brother. Because he is not.

[gotmorbucks]

Then maybe you should complain to someone about it.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Who, the people running the town?

[Dull, dry voice.]

Should know by now they don't listen to us.

[gotmorbucks]

Yeah yeah, I keep hearing that.

Have you considered that maybe they want something in return?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Of course they want something.

They want us to act like we've always lived here.

[gotmorbucks]

I don't see what's so difficult about that.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Because it is not the truth. And because acting that way will not get everyone home.

It will only trap us even more.

[gotmorbucks]

It's called bargaining. If you provide someone with something they want, then obviously, they may become nice and give you what you want.
