Meet and Greet [Intro #2]

[utopiamods]

You are brought to your campus and shown to your dorm rooms before you are given permission to wander the campus and the town. Meaning Fortitude students can mingle with Conquest students, they can go visit the shop (shop post will be up later today), or speak to the headmistresses and mayor. Each student now has the Exaclan manuals, a uniform, a school bag with either a shield or a sword on it, and the glove used to pull weapons.

But make sure to come to the battle area later to see the exhibition match! 

Take advantage of the free day, the freedom won't last long. Sooner rather than the later the round will start, Players will be named, Weapons will lose their privileges, and the battles will begin. So you might as well go out and make friend or start rivalries, anything to help you along later in the round.

[countryofassholes]

Can you elaborate?

[Hopefully, Ukraine will be more helpful than Spain was. ... she's still not sure she wants to try talking to him again.]


[ooc: Okay!]

[pysankya]

America became independent long ago and not long after Canada did as well but kept loyal to England. It took some time but it worked for them. America had their revolution and England left them alone, Napoleon never made it to England and was defeated by Prussia. The Spanish never took over because entire fleet was wiped out by a summer hurricane. America and Canada have become world powers, Europe is divided in many areas and a major war just finished. Things are still very divided and I em personally trying to work between fending off Germany, Russia, and Poland. Is little complex right now and I think another war is coming very soon.

[Ukraine is incredibly stressed, not to mention he's worrying about what exactly his little sister Russia is planning with her government.]

[countryofassholes]

[Britannia listens intently, then pauses because... whoa whoa whoa- hang on a second. She knew this guy was Ukrainian but not actually-]

I'm sorry, are you claiming to be Ukraine the country? [Because the last time she checked...]

[pysankya]

Yes, is what I em saying. Ukraine. Accent is not give away? I can speak Russian, Estonian, and Polish if I must.

[He'll watch her for several moments. He's starting to get a headache and it was just going to be a huge mess he knew if she didn't believe him and thought he was crazy. Then again, she had said things about history that had been completely incorrect to him.]

[countryofassholes]

[Have a very, very blank look. Well sure, she thought he looked like Russia when she first saw him but distinctly less... mean. But Ukraine?]

No, that's not the problem. [A pause, then a shrug. More continuity issues, apparently.] The Ukraine I've met is a girl.

[pysankya]

[She'll get an odd look in return.]

Last I checked, em not a girl, nor heff been. Where ever you are from it sounds like is very strange place. But no, today has been weird. MUCH too weird, I do not, cannot be here I heff things going on back home and this is... no, just is not how it is.

[He'll put his face in his hands, fighting tears.]

[countryofassholes]

[BLINK BLINK.]

... are you crying?

[pysankya]

No.

[Not yet at least. He's just frustrated and since he arrived here not a single thing is making sense.]

[countryofassholes]

Hmm... well, whatever. I guess I'll believe you.

[pysankya]

[It'll take him a moment before he collects himself and sits up again. Now he's embarrassed at making a scene about all of this.]

I em sorry, is just... a great amount to think of. Especially when you talk of dates I heff not heard of. But, Britannia is interesting name.

[countryofassholes]

[It's alright, no harm done. ... except for Britannia thinking male Ukraine is just as weak and pathetic as his female self but whatever! Who cares about the silent opinions of an asshat?]

This is a very strange place, isn't it? [She says disarmingly and takes another sip of her tea.]

[pysankya]

Is not so strange as is different. Architecture reminds me of somewhere closer to Western Europe but is not bad. I heff feeling I will like it here better than I think I do.

[Or not, he's not convinced himself of this yet.]

[countryofassholes]

Like England? [She takes another glance around and has to agree with Ukraine on that. It's too... simplistic for her people, but lacks the distinct culture of some other civilizations found in the East.]

[pysankya]

Mebbe... was thinking Germany or Northern France. England likes copper roofs and brass embellishments on buildings.

[countryofassholes]

Have you been to those places before?

[pysankya]

Yes, many times. Has been while since I went last since the war broke out.

[Ukraine will fall into an uncomfortable silence. The war had not been kind to him and even after it had ended, it seemed he was still fighting a separate war of his own.]

Heff you ever visited such places?

[countryofassholes]

No, the farthest I've ever been from the homeland is Area 11. [A pause before she quietly adds:] You probably know it as Japan.

What are they like? Is it really different from North America?

[pysankya]

I heff not been to Japan but Kikyo is very nice from when I heff talked with her in meetings. Very quiet.

[Ukraine will muse for a moment.]

From what I heff seen of north Amerika is very different. Architecture is very old and is mostly of stone. The way people t'ink is different too. They really don't care much for North Amerika is like a footnote to their politics. Most nations are very self involved, others tend to keep to themselves... since war Europe has been in upheaval. No one is talking to each other very much.

[countryofassholes]

[Kikyo...? And why does Ukraine's version of her sound an awful lot like...? Oh. Oh.] Hey, does this Kikyo have short black hair and look really cute?

[She'll get to the second part in a moment, right now she wants confirmation that Ukraine is from a world where all the nations are... backwards.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine will blink for a moment then think on it.] Yes, she is very tiny with short black hair and very large brown eyes. Much like a doll I t'ink. Is always very polite too.

[countryofassholes]

I see. [What. A weird. Concept.] And Iv- Russia? Are they a girl too?

[pysankya]

Yes, Russia is my baby sister. Anya. She is very cute looking but terrible temper and we are not speaking right now. She heff much to apologize for before I em going to allow her to speak diplomacy with me again.

[countryofassholes]

[And, for some reason, Britannia starts laughing quietly.] Your world sounds really weird.

So you're all at war right now? [Yes, Britannia is going to act like the discovery that a second world exists out there were all the nations are genderswapped isn't that big a deal.]

[pysankya]

Is a bit complex right now. No, we are not at war, we heff just finished with a war but it seems that things are taking longer than usual to calm down. Tensions are high all across Europe... is not good.

[Ukraine's getting used to the idea that there are several variations on his own world. It's giving him a headache but he will deal as best he can.]

[countryofassholes]

Aren't they always high? You guys never really seem to get along that well. [Another sip of her tea as she ponders the possibility.] So which war just finished?
