Schöni Wienachte, Joyeux Noël, Bung Nadal, e Buon Natale. Whether everyone celebrates it here or not, I hope that, at the least, today has been a good day for everyone.

Also... thank you to everyone who has given me gifts. They are much appreciated.

[offhandedly:] This would be... the first without Liechtenstein, since that day.

[everyone in the world is getting Swiss hot cocoa (yes, made with melted Swiss chocolate!) and homemade ringli (a doughnut, basically), left in the kitchen for anyone to find with a note reading simply "Merry Christmas" with no clear indication of who left it there]

I suppose Liechtenstein really is gone from the mansion. I couldn't help but notice that Othello, as well, has not been heard of as of late.

It's... a bit of an ironic coincidence, all things considered. What with his very forward and blatant attempts at courting her, and her kindness forcing her to overlook his advances.

Besides, it's not as if he would... kidnap her or. Anything.

I don't have any... reason to-- SUSPECT ANYTHING WHEN I FIND HIM I WILL SHOOT HIM WITH EVERY SWISS GUN EVER CREATED I DON'T CARE IF HE'S SOME KIND OF PRINCE FROM HELL I'LL USE SILVER BULLETS IF I HAVE TO I BET BOTH PARTIES DON'T HAVE TO BE INFORMED OR CONSENTING TO MARRY IN HELL

[The rest of the recording is just the sound of generic destruction and more enraged ranting. No gunshots. Yet.]

[The video starts up with a nearly fullscreen view of Switzerland's face. He looks, in short, absolutely furious.]

Where is my sister!?

[achoo! Switzerland's voice comes in stuffy, the telltale signs of a cold.]

I didn't expect it to get cold so quickly, but--

[achoo! sniff.]

...I hope the banks are alright.

This event seems to be purely cosmetic. The... limited wardrobe is a little inconvenient, but nothing substantial seems to be a negative result of the changes.

As for the upcoming ball, I will be accompanying my sister, The Principality of Liechtenstein. I'm sure there will be no problem with this.

[locked to other nations]
What do you plan to do about Prince Belphegor? Or do I have to do something myself?

[video - backdated to yesterday evening; sorry for being late!]

--know this is your doing!

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU WISH TO BE SHOT!?

[~*~Someone~*~ wished for Switzerland to be in this dress. Yodeling may or may not end up being involved.]

What the hell is the queen trying to do!?

The music room, the first floor hallway, and the library are the dangerous places I've heard of so far. Unless it's an emergency, I wouldn't recommend going to any of those places. Not even for a piano. The... ghosts, though, are all over the mansion.

It had to be something I can't shoot.

Liechtenstein, don't leave the room without me.

I wonder about that punishment. Alice's.

Somehow, I doubt that tyrant is going to just kill the girl's cat. For whatever reason, Wonderland's Queen hates her and went through everything she could in order to set her up as an example for the masses. None of those trapped here are meant to do more than what is expected: sit in our rooms and accept whatever happens to us. We're to disregard where we stood in whatever social hierarchy we used to live in and become Wonderland's uneducated mass of proletarians.

...Just how literally can I take the phrase "losing everything"? In a place that inherently lacks logic, trusting common sense is probably the worst thing one can do.

Saving Alice is likely in the best of everyone's interests. But, at this point, it's impossible. More important is escaping this place. That priority always comes first. Allowing oneself to become idle and simply wait to be freed is falling into Wonderland's trap.

[bang!]

That was your warning shot. You might notice the hole I've considerately left for you in the architecture. The next one will be between the eyes of the next person I find.

This is a violation of my long-standing neutrality. Surrender now and I might consider letting the UN try you over my rifle.
