[video] Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride

[ciao]

[ now that the video feed has stopped showing slow cinematic shots of gelato you get to be greeted by a certain nation just smiling and waving as happily as could be. sanguis season is here again and this time around he seems to simply be sporting the fluffy ears, the littlest fangs and what looks to be an excited wagging tail in the background ]

Ciao, cia~o~!

How is everyone? Doing well I hope! It's been a very active time recently, hasn't it? The weather also seems to be warming up a little more, so doesn't that mean it's time for a certain something to help you relax?

Although, I guess any time is a good time for gelato for me!

[ he laughs, waving it off quickly enough ]

I'm always making gelato and other sweets, if anyone ever wants a taste you should definitely ask! I'm always more than willing to share, and it makes me happy to see people enjoying things. But that aside, I did have a question in mind.

[ he brings his hands together, looking thoughtful for a moment before perking up once again ]

What sorts of flavours make you think of home? Or even, what kind of flavour would you like to look for in gelato? I'm always experimenting, so having the opinions of others is always great to work off of! Since we have so many people from so many different places, it seems like a great chance to try something new and exciting!

[ hands planted on the counter-top he playfully pushes himself up on it, leaning in excitedly to the camera ]

Also! Do you think gelato affects moonblessed the same way it would affect other animals? I've been thinking of making a gelato safe for dogs for Berlitz, because I feel bad enjoying it in front of him and not sharing--Do you think that would be beneficial for everyone as well?

Let me know what you think! I would like everyone's thoughts and opinions, maybe make a little something everyone can enjoy!

[Oh, all interest lost in dairy products in favor of lingonberries?? Yes. He perks up a little, impressed someone... noticed...]

I'm Swedish, so yes, that's really north. [he's proud of this for reasons unknown] Do you even have lingonberries? I didn't think they'd be in a place like this.

[You know, a place with seasons, and regular day/night cycles.]

[ciao]

Ah! I didn’t want to assume, there are so many places that far off but you just have a look... Sweden has a very nice home, it’s always a treat to go and visit!

As for lingonberries... I’m not sure if they have any here or not, but I would imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult to attain the seeds needed. I’ve been thinking for a while that maybe it would be good to set up a greenhouse to start growing and nurturing ingredients that would be difficult to attain otherwise. It’s a bit of work, but such a big pay off!

[ italy couldn’t help but laugh a little ]

I have so many ideas of what I want to do, my biggest one requires too much starting capital though and is not realistically attainable at my current level. But a gelato cart and a greenhouse are certainly things within my budget!

[That's so many words, and frankly, not enough are about him, so Emil only half-listens. Sorry... that he's like this...

But first,] Sweden is a very nice home, you mean. I know, I live there.

And I don't know anything about gardening, but if you want someone to pick berries, I will do it for a fee. [A beat.] The fee is free berries.

[ciao]

Ah... No, no... it's definitely right, he does have a very nice home. Let me see, I have an informative video about this, let me send you a link to it!

[ and he does, he's sending emil this ridiculous video ]

He doesn't mention Sweden in the video, but I promise he does exist! He and Finland are pretty close, they're a couple of fun nations to go and visit at any point~

[ this is normal, totally normal... ]

Oh well, you would be able to have access to the berries if you'd like no matter what. So it's okay, you don't have to pick berries for anyone else other than yourself~

[illequipped]

[Hey real quick, what the hell? Does Emil watch this video? He sits through about half. Does he believe any of it? Jury is out on that one. Country spirits... like... gods?? But, no, that's dumb.]

Finland, really? That makes sense.

[This is the Cosmo "are you compatible??" quiz equivalent, as far as he's concerned... Never mind.]

You're just going to give away berries? To anyone?

[ciao]

[ kind of like gods, only like in the eternal way probably. like he doesn't have magical girl powers or anything ]

Oh yeah, they're always hanging out at meetings and stuff. It's pretty refreshing to see others get along the same way~

[ it's okay emil, you can think about it all you want ]

Yeah, I don't see why not? I mean, I don't think they're in very high demand for people that aren't super familiar with them. It's a shame, because there's so much you can do and pair them with.

I'm going to be talking to the merchants at the market, so if there's anything else you're curious about just let me know and I could look into it!
