video | shortly after Museum Director's announcement

[housenurse]

[Even if you have never personally had a mother, you can easily recognize this look: the Very Disappointed Mother Look.]

I am very disappointed in some of you!

[so disappointed]

It's bad enough that poor Belgium lost so many people in those terrible attacks! [CLOSE ENOUGH] Did you really have to steal from them? Stealing from healthy people is low enough; stealing from people who are dying or hurt or have legs blown off, why, that's the lowest of the low!

Wouldn't you be sad if you lost your leg and then you learned the Mona Lisa was missing? That would just make everything even worse! That's why Museum Director-san is so upset, even though he isn't missing any legs!

[AHEM] And so I ask, very nicely, that whoever stole the Mona Lisa and anything else from Museum Director-san return them immediately, with a note saying how very sorry you are for stealing from legless people!

... Ah, right! [sounding more cheerful] I've also gotten a nice card for Captain Holiday-san! [holds up card; it says GET WELL SOON and has an injured yet smiling sun on it] I hope everyone will sign it, so he'll know we all hope he'll feel better soon! It's pinned up right outside my door [actually nailed] so anyone walking by can sign it! Thank you!

[selfequipped]

Something tells me that if they really stole anything, it wasn't the Mona Lisa. That's not exactly your usual living room conversation piece.

[But she's doubting anyone stole anything.]

[housenurse]

Whatever they stole, they should return it right away! Stealing is wrong, even if it's not something important!

[selfequipped]

Look at it this way, what are the odds that someone stole something while saving lives, and not some looters afterward that they don't want to admit exist?

[nekked]

[oh my goddddddd.]

M-Mrs. Mankanshoku... I don't think it's a good idea to be posting something like this to the network- given all that's been happening lately....

[she doesn't want you being targeted for any attacks okok.]

[housenurse]

Ah, don't worry about me, Ryuuko-chan! I can take care of myself! [and who in their right mind would attack a sweet motherly type]

[brushoff]

Believe me, I would have taken something if I could have. [ DORIAN, NO.... ] But most of the items there were in too bad condition to be use to anyone.

[housenurse]

Of course they're in bad condition; it's a museum! If they were in good condition, they would be new, and new things aren't historical enough to be in museums, because they don't have any history!

-- Wait, don't steal things! Not even old things! Don't steal anything at all!

[brushoff]

It's a museum and they were set on fire. By the time we got there, a lot of the objects were already burned beyond compare.

[acclimatized]

I honestly don't know why I'm surprised.

[housenurse]

It's good that you're surprised, though! That means you think too highly of people to automatically assume they'll steal things!

[acclimatized]

I don't know about that, but... yeah. You'd think they'd focus on helping the injured, not looting.

[heartboxer]

Mona Lisa...? [ Armstrong is very clueless. ] I did not know this country of Belgium was attacked and for it great artwork too! What does the Mona Lisa look like? [ armstrong's art education when it comes to this world remains flawless at a fantastic 0. ]

1/3

[housenurse]

It's all over the news, Alex-san! [2clueless] And the Mona Lisa, she looks like...

[housenurse]

[intense look

Mona Lisa smile]

[housenurse]

Like that!

[animalage]

Not that I don't think stealing from Belgium is awful, but isn't the Mona Lisa in France?


...and wasn't it Bulgaria that was attacked?

[housenurse]

[waves hand] That's not important! What's important is that things were stolen!

[nadezda]

Bulgaria.

[ Because Belgium was so easily bribed by the U.S. to support its foreign policy and so the distinction is very important. ]

[housenurse]

What about her?

[video]

[acrobrat]

[This is Anita clapping a hand to her forehead and letting her hand slide down her face in a classic gesture of frustration.

To everyone who stole stuff, a 13-year-old girl is judging you.]

I can't believe this. [Headdesk.]

[housenurse]

It can be very hard to believe, but why would Museum Director-san lie about such a thing? [yes why would he]

voice;

[runningstart]

You're telling me. Freakin' dicks do that. [Not to mention that Wally is personally insulted by someone doing that considering he spent hours and hours trying to save stuff from the rubble of the museum.]

[housenurse]

Language.

[beat] Hey, Wally-kun, you went to Bulgaria to help, didn't you? Did you see anyone stealing?

voice;

[disrobes]

Bulgaria, Makanshoku-san.

[Corrected lightly, carefully.]

However, you are quite correct. Stealing from a nation in such a situation is deplorable and should be punished to the fullest extent possible.

[housenurse]

Ah, but that's the thing! I don't think they'll even get punished at all! The American government doesn't seem to think very highly of this Bulgaria place; they probably won't even care!

That's why I just had to say something. It's not fair.
