You have been chosen to recieve an invaluable gift.

It is neither returnable nor exchangeable.

Apologies for an iconveniences.

America frowned. Huh?

There was a loud crackling noise, and America glanced around momentarily for the source.

But then the pain started.

A merciless burning in his throat.

America scrabbled at his neck, as though he could tear away whatever was paining him.

The letter lay forgotten on the floor.

England blinked twice. Was this some kind of a joke?

France came to mind, but he didn't possess that kind of vocabulary.

There was a loud crack and England spun around.

But nothing was there.

France frowned.

Whoever had written the letter was strangely cryptic.

There was a massive boom, followed by an uncomfortable heat running up his spine.

It wasn't painful exactly, just hot.

France released a pained hiss as the feeling spread to his limbs.

Norway read the letter over Iceland's shoulder.

"Odd," he said quietly.

Iceland nodded.

There was a crash, and both nation flinched at the sound.

Suddenly, Iceland inhaled sharply.

It felt like someone had driven a large ice shard up his spine.

He clenched his teeth as the sensation tore throghout his body.

"Iceland?"

"Who's it from?" Sweden asked.

"I don't know, they didn't leave a name..or a return address," Finland replied.

There was a sound like thunder and Sweden merely glanced out the window.

There Finland cried out, the letter falling from his hands as he held his head.

Sweden rose from his seat.

Japan was not used to unsigned letters appearing on his doorstep.

Nor was he expecting thunder to erupt as soon as he finished reading.

He certainly didn't foresee the white-hot pain in his eyes that made him scream.

Russia wasn't fazed.

Not by the mysterious message.

Not by the crackling sound.

Not even by the unexplainable tremors running rampant up and down his body.

BOOM

Italy shrieked and dropped the letter, grabbing onto Germany's arm.

Germany swore.

"GET OFF!"

After several minutes of coaxing and tugging, the Italian stopped screaming, but the iron grip on Germany's arm didn't budge.

Germany sighed in annoyance and scanned the words on the letter he recieved.

BOOM

China glanced up momentarily, hoping to see whoever had delivered the letter somewhere nearby.

But no avail.

There was an odd cracking sound, and then China felt like someone had driven an ice pick through his skull.

Canada was shocked.

Someone had sent him a letter.

A nice letter, with flowy script and expensive stationary.

The message was unexpected as well.

The assurance of an invaluable gift, followed by an apology.

A sound like thunder, and then Canada was sure someone had lit his skin on fire.

Hehe, someone had sent the awesomely awesome Prussia a letter.

Didn't they know about email?

It was weird, but after a moment, Prussia wasn't thinking about the strange tint to the paper.

He was too focused on the blinding pain.
