[embedded video - Conquest; Seeking]

[Lithuania appears on the screen, looking pleased that it's on--he's had to do this a few times to get it to work right, though the other attempts were all deleted before they ever had the chance to hit the forum. Honestly, he's been trying to post this for hours, but PDAs are a bit more confusing than he thought. Still, he's smiling.]

Hi! I'm Lithuania, one of the Players this round, so if you need someone to vow to, you can come to me if you want! I'll give you permission to do whatever you want. If you have a sword, that would be nice--um, I can work with any kind of sword, I think, as long as it's not especially large. But I can use other weapons, too. Even if you don't have a good weapon, you don't have to be a Discard, I'll let you do what you want and won't use you in a fight.

Um, I'm in room 1-A, or you can find me around the school or town.

[He waves, and the clip ends.]

A magical girl?

[Lithuania turns the rifle over in his hands carefully.]

[shootingforpeace]

It's...complicated. To put it simply, I fought witches in exchange for the fulfillment of a wish. I fought them with my powers and my weapons.

[duchy]

You were like a warrior saving people.

[shootingforpeace]

I--um. I suppose? I wouldn't have put it like that. That noble-sounding... I didn't have much of a choice, Lithuania.

[duchy]

It's still a good thing to do. But why didn't you have a choice?

[shootingforpeace]

Well--I could fight or I would die. It was one of those situations.

[duchy]

I think it's still brave, even if your only other option is dying.

[Very serious about this for someone so little.]

[shootingforpeace]

...Thank you. [She bites her lip and smiles thinly]

So do you think you can use my weapon?

[duchy]

You just pull the trigger, right?

[Lithuania has asked someone about guns, luckily! He holds it up--he's stronger than he looks.]

I think so.

[shootingforpeace]

Yes, you aim and shoot. It may just take a little practice, but I'm sure you'll get quite good at it.


[She watches him, fretting a little inside] Is it too heavy?

[duchy]

[Lifting it up and testing how he'd hold it and pull the trigger, though he doesn't.]

It's okay.

[Smiling!]

[shootingforpeace]

Alright dear, if you're sure.

[duchy]

It seems like a lot of people got weapons like this.

[Future weapons are weird.]

[shootingforpeace]

Guns are common weapons...Don't you have theme?

[duchy]

Not yet, it's 1200 when I'm from.

[At least the explanation was getting more automatic.]

[shootingforpeace]

Oh, I'm sorry--wait really? That's just so long ago. Several centuries...this place is strange.

[duchy]

It's really odd... Everyone seems to be from a later time than I am, though.

[shootingforpeace]

Well I'm sorry...I didn't mean to come from later than you.

[duchy]

It's not your fault. You might not even be from the same sort of place.

[shootingforpeace]

I suppose...It still must be upsetting.

[duchy]

The future seems really interesting, actually!

[That and culture shock doesn't usually set in until a couple months in.]

[shootingforpeace]

Well I suspect the past is just as interesting! A lot of history is lost.

[duchy]

Yeah... I don't really know anything from before I was born. Only some things get told nowadays.

[Thenadays?]

[shootingforpeace]

Even less things will get told later. You never think something is important until after it's said and done and half-forgotten.
