Vehementcerebrious

Start

A million year old air-born parasite released from an ice berg that has melted near the Western Norwegian coast. It travels through your lungs to your blood stream and ends at the brain where it starts shutting down certain parts. The host is known to have frequent violent episodes, moments of distance, and internal bleeding. There is no known cure as of now and every host ends up a brain dead violent shell of what they used to be.

-

A mass parasitic plague outbreak in the Western Norwegian coast, hundreds of people being admitted to hospitals and crime rates are expanding.

-

Due to the air-born parasite that has been released off the Western Norwegian coast, the country has temporarily shut down. No cures have been found and hospitals are getting increased patients of hostile intentions.

Lukas sat on the sofa in the living room of the shared flat between the Nordics. He wasn't doing anything in particular, he couldn't do anything, he just stared off into space. He'd been really distant lately, with worries about his country and it's worst crisis in years.

Emil was sat by him, staring at his brother with some concern. It was dead silent between the two for a solid 30 Minutes before the door to the home fling open. Emil jumped at the sudden noise it made, Lukas stayed still.

"Honey I'm home!" Matthias called out, slamming the door behind him. He stood in the middle of the room. Emil looked up at him with a wave, Lukas once again staying silent and still.

"Well, aren't you two a lovely bunch?" He joked, not aware of the problem surfacing. Emil huffed and Matthias took the hint that he should continue on his way, which he did right into the kitchen where Tino was. "What're you making for dinner Fin?"

"I'm making Reindeer as a main course, potatoes and i haven't decided on a vegetable yet." Tino replied with his usually happy voice.

"Sounds amazing!" Matthias shouted, already pulling a beer out of the fridge. "Where's Sve?"

"Ber is out getting some things for the blizzard tonight." Tino never looked away from his work as he spoke. "This is supposed to be one of the worst in the decade."

Matthias nodded, "So i heard." He mumbled as he looked out the window, seeing some snow already starting to fall quickly. A good few minutes passed as Tino continued cooking and Matthias had blanked out, coming back to reality as he heard the door open and felt the icy air spread through the home. Then it slammed shut again. Berwald stepped into the kitchen, some snow falling from his hair.

Tino moved from his spot and helped the swede with sitting everything down, a warm smile on his face as he did so. Matthias felt himself smirk at them. Why? Because they were obviously such a sweet couple. Tino pecked Ber on the cheek, returning to his original station and shutting off the stove. Then the more feminine male went to the living room to tell Lukas and Emil dinner was ready. Berwald and Matthias exchanged a glance as Matthias got out the plates and Ber was putting things away. The two didn't talk much.

Tino came bouncing in with a seemingly agitated Emil and the usual apathetic Lukas. The Norwegian was almost always one of the first to sit down but this time he waited, you could tell right off the bat something was wrong, Matthias noticed it, Tino noticed it, everyone did. Lukas didn't though, he thought he was being normal which is why when he looked up he seemed confused to see the others looking at him. Lukas shook it off and got his portion and sat down next to Emil, like always.

The dinner was mostly quiet, the occasional request for something to be passed over and the thanking for Tino. That was until the Dane opened his damn mouth.

"So, anything going on in any of our countries? Something any of us might need help with?" He spoke, not directly to Lukas but anyone could tell it was pointed at him. Immediately an uncomfortable aura set throughout the room, it's source was obvious. Emil clutched his cutlery, knowing Lukas was already so stressed out and now this just added on. He side glanced at Lukas to see what his reaction was. Lukas was surprisingly calm on the outside.

"No." Lukas answered simply. "But you may want to get some help in checking the distribution of all the happy pills being prescribed to your people."

Lukas glanced up at Matthias, who had a shadow covering his eyes. Lukas let a soft smirk show on his face.

"Well at least they know how to get some help."

"My country is doing just fine."

"Tell that to the millions of people who want out of the place."

"They only want out because of-... they don't. I don't know what you're talking about."

The two were now glaring at each other from across the table. Lukas felt his blood start boiling as Matthias smirked.

"You don't want to tell the other's about your big problem? Afraid they'll start avoiding you once they find out why your borders are shut? Afraid we're all going to leave you like Mom did?" Matthias blurted that out without thinking. Scandinavia was a sensitive subject for Four out of the Five Nordics, but it always seemed to hurt Lukas the most. It wasn't long before the snapping of metal was heard and Matthias had realized what he said.

"N-norge..." Before he could finish Lukas stood from the table and stormed out of the kitchen. Nearly seconds after the door was slammed shut, sounding like it was close to falling off it's hinges. Tino cringed at the noise and looked at Ber, who seemed startled himself. Matthias stood up and decided to follow Lukas, to no one's opposition.

Matthias grabbed his coat and ran out the house, the blizzard setting in heavily. Even though the snow was thick, he could see the fresh sets of footprints that were already starting to be covered. Matthias ran as followed their direction.
