[To Mihail, and generally most of the Romanian population, twenty years has not been such a long time. In fact, it's still very recent for most. Twenty years ago, the Romanian Revolution took place in Bucharest in a period of three days of street warfare in order to bring down the dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu. At the time, he had paid off all of Romania's debts to the world, but at a cost that the money used to pay debts was all the money Romania had. Τhen, he decided to build the biggest building in all of Europe for his palace, which left most of Romania poverty-stricken and miserable. At the end of the Revolution, he and his infamous wife, Elena, were executed for all of the Romanian people to see. It was a moment of victory for the Romanian people, and it was the only violent overthrow of a ruler in modern European history (aside from the Russian Revolution).

However, questions have been raised since if it was truly a revolution or another political party's coup d'état. Ceausescu's children have been some of the loudest leaders of this questioning, and thus have wanted DNA testing done to their parents' bodies to see if it is truly their remains in the graves. If so, they plan to have a large funeral for the dictator, in which a good portion of Bucharesters are not pleased with.

The Revolution and the dictator's regime are still fresh in Mihail's memory, and just as well, this news infuriates him. He would have much rather had Ceausescu stay in his grave and rot there than be dug up just so there can be some extravagant funeral for someone who had nearly ruined the city. So he's now in his room, nearly steaming over the news and trying to take deep breaths to keep himself from throwing a fit.

Will overheard Atlanta mentioning something about Bucharest being upset, so, being the nosy individual he is, he decided to check in on him.

He knocked on the door, waiting for the other to answer.

[ooc Atlanta is one of Bucharest's sister cities. and if that doesn't work Athens has Iaşi, Romania and Columbus has Bistriţa.]

Oh, I've just never really eaten anything other than...what might be considered 'normal'?

He nodded.

He pours up the two glasses before going in search of the oil he needs.

He nods, gesturing to his glass of iced sweet tea on the counter.

Cold tea? Sounds unusual.

Bit too hot at home ta be dealin' with hot tea. Cold tea's much better.

From: [identity profile] cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com
I've never had that, honestly. I've always drank it hot as long as I've been drinking it. But that does make sense.

Date: 2010-07-29 07:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] devilwentdownto.livejournal.com
He nodded.
Ah think i's good. Ya can try some if ya wan'. He's found the oil now and is prepping it for frying.

From: [identity profile] cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com
Oh, you wouldn't mind?

I'd prefer it warm and milder, I think.

From: [identity profile] devilwentdownto.livejournal.com
He shrugged.
Ain't everyone's cup a' tea.

He then proceeded to laugh at himself.

He waved his hand.

and he drops the gator into the frier.
