Lithuania | Wednesday 7PM ballroom; Thursday 7AM library

[vytis]

Wednesday - Ballroom 7PM
[Not that Wednesdays aren't usually nerve-wracking here, but by the time evening has taken hold and dinner is closer to ending, Lithuania's stomach has rendered him entirely incapable of eating. He pushes his food around on his plate a little, nervously, and then counts the others in the room again.

This is probably the fourth or fifth time he's done so.]

Thursday - Library 7AM
[Morning doesn't bring Lithuania's appetite with it, but he isn't about to go wandering around somewhere unpopulated, so he decides reading will be the best use of his time this morning. Anyone else who happens to be in the room gets a vaguely uneasy "good morning" while Lithuania gathers up a few books.]

Wednesday

[teenspirit]

[ This is literally the worst thing. Sonia seems reluctant to leave her seat at the table. ]

Wh-what if we simply continue our meal into the night... and watch each other...

[ She hates that no one can trust each other here, but it is what it is. ]

[vytis]

There's plenty of space in here if we all want to stay... [Lithuania keeps waiting for the clock to go off; every noise that's even vaguely similar is making him a little jumpy.]

[teenspirit]

If we just... stay here... nothing bad will happen, surely.

[vytis]

...But if too many of us fell asleep-- [Lithuania feels bad for saying it, and almost tries to take it back, but it's too late and paranoia is probably the better option here.]

We just--don't go to sleep, that's all.

[teenspirit]

We... we frickin' stay awake, yeah! [ She sits upright. ] I make a mad refreshin' cafe au lait! I'ma pump y'all up with sugar!

[ If you weren't aware that Sonia's language troubles get worse when she's nervous......... now you do. ]

[vytis]

[Well, that was certainly a really weird way to put it, but Lithuania doesn't want to be rude.]

A-as long as everyone else agrees.

[teenspirit]

...E-eh... Somehow, I do not think so...

Wednesday

[godwhisperer]

Hmm.

[Looking around the ballroom suspiciously, glowering at everyone.]</small? Who will be gone by morn?

[vytis]

I'd like to think no one will be. [He sighs.] But--that probably won't be true. Guessing is a little morbid, though...

Thursday

[productions]

[There is sort of a strange smell coming from behind one of the shelves.]

[vytis]

[Behind one of the shelves? Lithuania only knows of one behind-the-shelves, and he feels his stomach knot and twist even worse than before. After a moment, though, he puts his books down and pulls the book to open the room behind the shelves in the library.]

[productions]

[No, there's nothing in there. But there does seem to be what looks almost like dripping blood on the ground.]

[vytis]

[Dripping? Lithuania looks up, and tries not to think too hard about his lack of shock at the sight. If there isn't anything, though, he'll try to pinpoint the source of the smell--maybe there's something behind the books on the shelves?]

[productions]

[Sorry, I meant drops of blood. Anyway, there is nothing up. But behind the stack of books, there does seem to be something very bloody, although it doesn't look like a body exactly, it's too small.]

[vytis]

A-ah... [Lithuania takes a moment to put on a pair of gloves before he picks up the bloody whatever-it-is.]

[productions]

[Oh.

It's a woman's leg.]

Wednesday

[humanic]

[Stiles isn't exactly looking like he's in any better shape.]

You know that idea Susan had about tying us all up in the ballroom? Let's do it. Hundred percent serious here.

[vytis]

We'd have to pick someone to do the tying up, though.

[hollowheart]

[well]

[humanic]

[glances at her and shrugs]

Sure, Annie can do it. Why not? It's not like she'll be able to gain anything from killing us.

We should probably keep her away from Poland though.

[notyetlost]

[Guess who heard that.] No way!

[hollowheart]

Why not? I tie excellent knots.

[notyetlost]

Do me a favor then and tie yourself a nice noose.

[humanic]

No way as in you're fine letting her near you, or no way as in there's no way you'd be cool with this plan? [not that...it isn't super obvious....]
