[closed] Trapped in a World That You Never Made

Characters: England, Prussia (both Nyotalia)
Format: prose
This log is: closed
Location: Conquest dorm, white 2-B, Week 6 Saturday mid-morning (or whenever the train arrives)
Summary: After their first week in Rakuen, England and Prussia decide to recollect and form battle strategies.
Warnings: light girlxgirl probably

The sound of the train pulling into the station made England pause in her trek back to her dorm. She turned her head to watch and frowned. New people being brought into Rakuen already? Fresh meat, nervous and wondering how they suddenly got there, why they were there. England still didn't understand what the purpose was. She hadn't gotten into the routine yet, but all she knew was that she didn't want to be punished, and so she was forced to play the game. The Powers that Be wanted her to. Without knowing who or what they were, she couldn't possibly fight back.

She finally returned to her room and dropped herself face first on her bed. It had been a trying week. For the most part, England let Prussia read the manual and explain to her what was going on. To be honest, England was too frazzled to read anything, to do anything. She was scared and she wanted to go home. Even this was a test for a country who was over 1000 years old.

It's a few minutes later before Prussia comes in. She slams the door open exuberantly and comes in laughing, "Kesesese~ Britannien!"

She's holding her pillowcase in one hand and it looks quite a bit lighter than when she took it to the shop. Of course, everything was out of it now. "Worship me for I brought you gifts!"

The loud noise made her jump. England swiftly pushed herself up and turned to see Prussia bound into the room. She frowned deeply when the other country stopped talking and threw her pillow at her.

"Keep it down, idiot!" she snapped. "You scared me!"

Gets hit in the face with the pillow. "Oi! Is that anyway to treat your benefactor?" She picks up the pillow and then walks over to England. Once she's close enough she plops the pillow on England's head and sits on the bed.

England grunted when the pillow hit her head. It didn't hurt. In fact it bounced right off of her and onto the floor. But she still didn't like the gesture. She scooted over a little to make room for Prussia.

"What do you mean, my benefactor? If anything, I was the one who benefited you by helping you get through that annoying dungeon. Without a weapon, you wouldn't have been able to do anything!" Of course, England failed to mention that, had she refused, Prussia would have found another weapon, but she didn't want to think about that.

"Your benefactor because I brought you things!" she ignored the comments about the dungeon, she knew she was awesome and England had begged to be her partner. Not really, but this is how she thought of the situation.

"Things?" Repeated England. She gave Prussia a skeptical look before reaching for the bag-pillowcase and tugging at it. "What for?"

"They'll help us while we're here," she said. She reached into the bag and pulled out five blank power rings. "Put these on, they're upgrade rings. They'll help us in any future battles."

England studied the rings. She was a bit hesitant to put them on. What would they do to her? She gently took them from Prussia but placed them in her lap for now. She would find out more about these rings and upgrades before testing them out.

"Put them on, come on! They're not going to hurt, just make your weapon form stronger!" she said. She looked excited, but when wasn't she excited?

"I'll do it later," England said quietly. She just wanted Prussia to continue showing off whatever else she had. Her eyes were now focused at the gleaming rings in her lap. They were supposed to help in battles... So they weren't really gifts at all. They were just for making their team stronger. England sighed in disappointment.

She pouts a little, but then moves on to the next item. "Got us both PDAs with the video and audio upgrade so we can talk even if we're not together!"

The next item was certainly useful. But, again, only because it made their stay here more comfortable. "You're really settling in here, aren't you?" England asked as she took one of the communicators and looked it over. She did not sound very impressed.

"We might as well, we don't know how long we'll be here, but we should make it as comfortable as possible. We could leave next week, tomorrow, a year from now, who knows," she shrugged, not really caring, either way.

That did not sound good at all. England finally put on the rings, two on one hand, three on the other. They didn't do anything now, but they didn't look horrible. England rarely wore jewelery, but Prussia bought these for her with her own money, and so she would try to enjoy them.

"So, what else?" she asked, still feeling upset.

She notices the rings and thinks back, "Oh, those all need to go on the left hand, one per finger."

She looked in the bag to get the next item out. "How about this?" She pulls out a pretty green cloak the same style as her own.

The same hand? That was a bit much. But England did as she was told, frowning at how weird her hand felt. The left hand, like a marriage. A marriage between two partners? Perhaps that was why.

"What is that for?" England nodded her head at the cloak.

Prussia smiled, "It's a gift! I wanted you to have a cloak like mine!" It was green because it looked better on England than the blue did.

"But it doesn't have any powers?" England reached for the cloak and held it up. She liked it. It had a hood. This would do well for her class, especially if it was imbued with magic.

"Nein, just a cloak to keep you warm," she said with a smile.

Oh... Well, she supposed that was alright. And it matched Prussia's, so England knew some thought had been put into it. She sighed, but finally smiled back gently. "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" she looked at her bag and noticed a lump. "I thought I got everything out."

She reached in and pulled out the scroll they had found in the dungeon and remembered that she had decided not to sell it. What if it led to buried treasure.

"Kesesesese~ I haven't looked at it yet," she said.

England rested her head on Prussia's shoulder, mostly so that she could get a better look at the scroll. That was something she was interested in. "Did you get someone to look at it?"

"Not yet, I wanted us to look at it first," she said. She unrolled the scroll, not noticing anything different at first.

That was a little dangerous, but then, England should not have expected anything else from Prussia. She leaned closer to look over the scroll, trying to read it.

"Prussia, I'm not so sure this is..."

"Igram?" she asked, reading the message. She looked over at England, "I wonder what it means."

England thought about it for a moment. She seemed to remember the word from somewhere, but it had been a while since she had heard it. Was it an incantation. "I wish you hadn't opened it--"

She stopped speaking abruptly once she looked Prussia in the face. She seemed rather horrified for some reason.

Prussia pouted and said, "I thought it would lead to..."

She stopped when England did and looked at her. "What? What's the problem?"

Prussia was only answered with a quivering finger pointing right at her eyes. Even England was too freaked out by the outcome. Was this because of that scroll?

"Hm?" she reaches up to touch her face. "Is there a spider on me?" She didn't think England would be afraid of a spider, but it had to be something scary, right?

It was still difficult for England to answer in words, so she stood up and dragged Prussia over to a mirror. Then she turned the other country's face towards the mirror so that she could see what happened for herself.

Needless to say, she's shocked. She stares at her eyes in the mirror. She lifts her hand to the mirror, rubbing to make sure it's not a prank on the mirror, not that she thought England would prank her.

When nothing comes off, she lifts her hand to her eye. She's used to looking the mirror and seeing her two toned pink and purple eyes, but now, the bottom half of her eye was completely red, as red as blood. She wasn't bleeding, though.

"My...eyes..."

"It must be because of the scroll!" England said shakily. At least she found the voice to speak again. After looking once more at Prussia's eyes, she turned around and grabbed the scroll off the bed. She did not know what IGRAM meant, but she knew it would not be a good idea to open it. She had felt the magic. Quickly, the shorter country rolled it back up tightly. "We need to get rid of it!"

"Do you think that would fix my eyes?" she wondered out loud.

Purple wasn't a common color, so she didn't know if anything else is affected.

England paused for a moment. She squeezed the paper in her hands. "...I am not sure. We should probably look for an antidote at the shop. There might be a chance they can help us."

She considered it, "Ja, but we should hang on to this until we know for sure what will fix it!"

She put one of her hands around England's on the paper.

Hang onto it? Was that wise? England's shoulders dropped and she turned away. For now, she would just keep the scroll in a drawer, out of sight. At least, then, maybe it would keep some of its powers contained. It was dangerous not knowing what magical properties were being used. That was part of the reason England hated this place so much. She no longer had any power.

"I've grown weary of this place, Prussia," she sighed as she sat down on the bed again. "These constant surprises are getting annoying."

Prussia approached her. "Ja, I know what you mean," she huffed. "It's fun to play a game like this, but it would be better with the others. You really acted strange in that ship, too."

"Strange?" England lifted her head to look at Prussia. "How?"
