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.

[pysankya]

[Ukraine will stop and blink several times before setting his hands gently on her shoulders.]

They are boys? Someone told me earlier that the Ukraine they knew was a girl... do you think that there is connection?

[He honestly does NOT was to think of his little sister as a boy. Not a chance, she was good as she was and having another brother wouldn't be terrible but it would be incredibly strange.]

[independencesong]

[She shrinks a little bit under his touch, probably a little more typical from her as a reaction.]

Was it another nation?

[pysankya]

[He'll flinch fractionally and pull his hands back, putting a solid wall of distance between them as always.]

Yes, is country I heff never heard of before. She seems okie but... do not understand where she gets facts from. They are so strange.

[independencesong]

It must just be another variation on existences. Same as with Lithuania, or the time difference between us.

[pysankya]

I guess you are right. It is...different and mebbe is good thing, but is headache. Not knowing what you know and heff seen in the past 78 years and when I em sure Britannia knows and what your... brothers know. It's all so strange. I do not like it.

[Ukraine will look away and continue on walking, not looking at her and avoiding any physical contact with her.]

[independencesong]

I can't imagine you would, no. I don't like it, and I have those years ahead of you.

[pysankya]

Yes...I em almost afraid to ask what happens from your reaction earlier.

[independencesong]

... I won't say 'nothing', because it's not nothing, but it's also nothing you need to know about right now.

[pysankya]

Ah, okie. Mebbe another time then, once everything here is... explained and settled.

[he'll sigh and look up at the sky.]

Apparently I em to be teaching horticulture here. I like plants but I do not know what they are expecting me to teach students. Heff any ideas? I do not.

[independencesong]

I don't know. Answer their questions, I suppose? Maybe have them grow a vegetable garden. People like vegetable gardens.

[pysankya]

Is something I em good at. Or mebbe can get them to do some sort of school flower garden? I like vegetable idea, very useful and will help them if they ever need to grow food.

Wish I had more ideas. Oh well, will think of something to do. Thank you for the idea.

[independencesong]

Of course. [She nods.] If I can ever help any, let me know?

[pysankya]

Of course. Although, things will be very strange while we are here. Feels... very unlike home, yes?

[independencesong]

Incredibly unlike home. At least there are some familiarities.

[The brush of her arm against his is probably accidental. Probably.]

[pysankya]

yes, but em glad that you are here. Is very comforting to see familiar face.

[Certainly accidental, but that won't stop him from gently bumping his arm back against hers.]

[independencesong]

And one that is actually the gender you're expecting, at that. [She gives him a little smile, although he should pick up on her continued unease at the whole Lithuania situation.] I'm glad you're here, too. We'll find a way out together.

[pysankya]

Yes, even if people who should be girls are boys and countries I heff never heard of exist. Is very odd, I em very glad you're here Reeta.

[independencesong]

It'll be fine.

[Her arm bumps his again. She really ought to walk further from him.]

[pysankya]

[He'll laugh and gently put a hand on her shoulder. It's different but nice, he likes being able to touch her without having her move immediately away from him.]

Good.

[independencesong]

[She may not be perfectly at ease with contact, but on days like this, when things are stubbornly determined not to make any sense at all, she'll take his touching. She'll take anything familiar.

Out of things to say, though, Estonia will simply walk in silence alongside Ukraine for a while, before grabbing his hand to wordlessly pull him into an interesting looking shop. Books seem to have caught her eye.]

[pysankya]

[Of course it's books, he's glad to know some things have yet to change in her personality.He'll follow gladly, looking around the shop and poking at a few books on the top shelves.]

[independencesong]

[Estonia will be in here a while, unchanging with her affection for books, but consideration for her companion kicks in and she'll wander back to purposely look at things near Ukraine, to judge and see if he's getting impatient yet.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine has the patience of a saint. Having gone looking on books about plants within this region he'll be thoroughly engrossed in an encyclopaedia of various flowering plants. He hasn't even noticed they had spent so long in the bookstore.]

[independencesong]

[After a silent moment of appreciation - complete and utter enamoured adoration, actually - for him, Estonia turns to the bookshelf behind him and continuing her slight love affair with the book collection here.]

[pysankya]

[Ukraine will take the book, holding it carefully and wander over to where Estonia had likely stuck her head into more books. gently, he'll tap her on the shoulder.] Heffing good time looking?
