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.

Wednesday

[godwhisperer]

Hmm.

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

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.]

[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...

[productions]

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

[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]

[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.]

Sonia Nevermind - Various - Wednesday evening, Thursday morning

[teenspirit]

[ Everywhere Sonia goes today, she is accompanied by a tiny brown hamster, one that some may recognize as Sun-D, on her shoulder. Everywhere. Both she and the hamster seem to be very on-edge. ]

[ Wednesday: Music Room, 5:00 PM ]

[ Being a Super High School Level Princess involves mastering not only 30 languages, but 30 instruments (and also 30 varieties of military tank but we won't get into that). Like her language skills, she's got some flaws here and there, but considering how much she's had to learn, she's passable.

Playing old, traditional folk songs from her country, she'll switch alternately from the violin to the piano. When she's playing the violin, the hamster moves from her shoulder to her lap. When she's playing the piano, the hamster sits on her head and seems to sway along. ]

[ Thursday: Billiards Room, 8:00 AM ]

[ After breakfast, she goes to the billiards room with Sun-D, where she listlessly sits shuffling a deck of cards. Eventually she sets out and begins playing solitaire, but she keeps looking over her shoulder warily. Now and then she'll try giving instructions to the hamster. ]

If it looks like this, [ She points to a face-down card. ] with that pattern, it needs to be flipped over. [ She demonstrates. ] How about you try?

[ Sun-D looks between the cards and her. Sonia demonstrates again. Training hamsters is tougher than it looks, apparently. It doesn't help that she can't keep the nervousness out of her voice. ]

[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.

[productions]

[Sun-D isn't listening, and seems to be sitting there twitching her nose and running in circles, as though agitated.]

Latvia → Various

[balzams]

Wednesday → Topaz Wing → 6am

[Latvia paced nervously up and down the hallway with an expression of dread on his face. He had come to wait for Belarus, as per their agreement to stick together but how well their buddy system would work, especially with both of them on the dispensable list was yet to be seen. Somehow he can't shake a sense of impending doom]

Thursday → Garden → 9am

[Whatever system they'd had had totally broken down and Latvia was only growing increasingly paranoid. He thought a walk would help clear his head but he walked with strides that were better for escaping rather than leisurely walking. In his pocket he clutched onto his pocket knife, just in case.

Almost instinctively he headed towards the chapel, but as he did so he started to call out]

Miss Belarus, are you here? Please answer, I'm worried! Miss Belarus!

[teenspirit]

[ Sonia's expression softens. ]

Ah... I know, it is not exactly the time for games.

[ She tries to reach out to pet the hamster to calm her. ]

[vytis]

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

[teenspirit]

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

[productions]

[There's no response, but he can hear the sound of crows cawing loudly somewhere on the other side of the house.]

[productions]

[Sun-D slides out of her hands and runs towards the shelves at the back of the room.]

[productions]

[Oh.

It's a woman's leg.]

1/3

[teenspirit]

Oh! Shit!

[teenspirit]

[ ...checking to make sure no one heard her swear ]
