♕ 1. But he doesn't have a flag

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

Characters: The Spanish Empire and you
Setting: The cafeteria
Format: Starting prose, matching you.
Summary: This tower is now claimed by the Spanish Empire.
Warnings: Spain is armed! And this is also a reminder that Spain is reset and from Imperial times now.

Of course Spain didn't panicwhen he woke up in a place that wasn't the last place he remembered. Okay, perhaps he panicked a little bit but not too much because empires have nothing to fear, especially when you're the most powerful empire in the world. After reading the letter several times over, he wasn't sure if he believed what it said. In fact, he was quite positive that the letter wasn't true because, well, the end of the world simply was not meant to end that way, at least, not according to his Church. This was a hoax of some sort-- a conspiracy set up by those Protestants-- and while he had no idea where he was, that only meant he had some exploring to do. In his opinion, this tower seemed much more harmless than the Americas. Really, this place was lacking when it came to the poisonous trees, toxic frogs, and hostile natives (or so he thought).

Armed with a sword and dagger, the Spanish empire began to explore. There had to be other people present. There were always people around. After some exploring, he eventually finds himself in the cafeteria. Maybe you're enjoying a meal or maybe you're just socializing or just walking in behind him-- Spain isn't going to pretend to know what you're doing. In fact, that isn't even important right now because Spain has a much more important announcement to make.

"Ay!" Spain yells when he sees people, "I am the Spanish Empire and I claiming this tower for myself! Do you understand?"

Canada sipped her juice, watching what she could only assume was Spain standing over there. With a sword. Huh. . .Oh gosh, was he really from the past or had he ate a bad salad and gone a bit off?

"...I don't think the dozens of other nations will take kindly to this."

So the first person to speak up was a woman? Spain wasn't sure if this meant she was incredibly important or simply very brave but either way, it meant he should have some respect. Spain smiled charmingly at her, "And who would they be, miss?"

[America is tired, frustrated, and sick of this stupid tower and the stupid food and all the stupid lies! So much so that she barely even cares that Spain is a man, calling himself the Spanish Empire and whatever the hell else. She's pretty much just tuned that part out.]

You can have this stupid goddamn tower! God, I sure as hell don't want it.

Now, if you'll just listen to me, we can get alo---. . .

( ( woah what ) )

Really?

( ( It never happens that easy. ) )

[tomatatas]

"Take it, idiota. Nobody wants it, and if it means we can leave, you can have it." Such a bitter voice for such a small woman. Not to mention that glare. "But put down your sword before someone gets hurt. Like yourself."

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

Spain can't believe how easy this is going. He looks to see who spoke,"Then I'll make it mine and-- Roma--. . ." Wow, this woman looks so much like Romano, he can almost feel himself getting homesick. "I mean! I'm not going to hurt myself. I know how to use a sword, miss!" And Spain waved his sword around in the air a bit as if that was going to prove his point.

[champagnedelis.livejournal.com]

Francisca glances up from her coffee and stares for a bit. Had Spain been hit too hard over the head with one of Romana's Bibles or something?

Still, she was happy to play along and called out in a sing-song voice, "Does that mean you will claim all women for yourself as well~?"

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

Spain wasn't hit on the head at all! At least, not recently and Romana would never throw a Bible. . . would she?

He completely misses what she's implying and replies simply, "Of course."

[pchaaair]

[He is just. So confused.]

Um... what is, the Spanish Empire, exactly.

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

( ( That's okay. Spain is used to people not knowing him! ) )

Me! And I'm the greatest empire in the entire world!

[froghunting.livejournal.com]

Mercedes jumps at the sudden yelling man and makes an attempt at a poker face at the strange man. She's thought herself getting used to strange characters about but, really, that will probably never happen.

"Spanish Empire? One person can't be an empire and I've never heard of it," she mumbles, wary of his sword. "Have you taken the time to wonder where you are first?"

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

"Sí, the Spanish Empire!" Spain repeats and he smiles at the girl. So this one didn't know how nations worked. That was fine! When it came to numbers, the people always had the nations outnumbered and it wasn't very common knowledge in some places so he's glad to explain, "Oh, not everyone can be an empire. There are only a few and I just happen to be the greatest of them all."

As for her second question, he nods, "I did! It's a trick but I'll find out what this place really is."

[thisclinchesit]

Shoutarou just stares at the man, lowering his coffee cup.

"Oi, what's gotten into you?"

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

And Spain only smiles back, "What does it look like?"

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

That voice . . . as much as he wanted to ignore it, he never seemed to be able to. He held Poffertje a little closer and looked towards the entrance to the cafeteria, the rabbit still munching on a leafy carrot top.

And then his stomach clenched a little. That wasn't the Spain he knew. It was obvious that he was younger, and his hair. . .what was going on?

For now, he's going to ignore the other nation and simply watch.

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

Well, all seemed to be going well so far. Of course, it could always be better but compared to past adventures, this one was much easier. Spain is beginning to think that everything is going to go well until his eyes cross a certain figure in the cafeteria, "You!" Spain yells, "What are-- what are you doing here?!"

Romano came close to spitting out his milk when the nation spoke. He'd been wondering where Spain went, and seeing him now was a huge relief, but right now he felt nothing but embarrassment.

"Spain, what the hell are you shouting for?" He disposed of his carton and came over to the self proclaimed 'empire'. When he was closer, his expression softened, for once not even bothering to hide that he'd been worried. "More importantly, where have you been?"

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

For the first time since Spain has been in the tower, someone approached him. He isn't really expecting it as Romano gets closer, Spain only stands taller and raises his chin just a bit. First there was that woman and now there was a man that reminded him of home? When Spain speaks, his voice is loud, confident, and lacking a sense of familiarity, "I've been everywhere. From the Americas to the Pacific Islands to the tip of Africa and back to Europe. And who are you?"

[So Rose was just minding her own business walkin' along, when suddenly this new guy decides to be obnoxious. SO, she decided on the best course of action for a situation like this.

By blasting a hole in the wall right by Spains head with her wands, face still neutral.]

What was that?

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

( ( SCREAMING and scrambling to get out of the way, ) )

I said this place is mi-- what did you do?!

[vanavanushka.livejournal.com]

"Chto...?"

Ivan paused a moment, blinking at the man in front of him--Spain, it was Spain. He smiled at the male, at his peculiar outfit, vaguely recognizing the clothing from a long time before, tipping his head to the side. "Ah, Ispaniya. I am supposing you can be having this silly tower--if you can be getting us out, da?"

He paused another long moment, squinting at the empire in front of him, puzzled. "Why are you being dressed in such old clothing? Ah, they are being very nice though...."

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

What.

What.

What was Russia doing here? When Spain sees the other nation, his face is obviously confused and surprised, "What are you doing here?" He asks, "Ay, don't say you already claimed this place."

No flag, no tower. You can't have it. : | Those are the rules.

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

"... Ah."

There was quite a few things he could say to that, of course. Sarcastic, mostly. But Minato absently reminds himself that he rather wouldn't like a fight, however silly this sounded to him at the moment, even if he was armed--his weapons were generally out of sight--he would rather get along with those he was stuck with than fight with them. That in mind, he looks down at his MP3 player quietly, entirely unperturbed by Spain's loudness.

"Go ahead, if you'd like."

He could claim the tower if he wanted to. Why should he stop him? Minato had med Prussia, anyway, and ludicrous as it sounded he's... heard stranger. He summons a manifestation of his psyche by shooting himself in the head. He didn't particularly believe he had room to judge.

"... But would you mind telling me your other name, if you have one?" After all, 'The Spanish Empire' didn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Why does everyone keep asking if he has a flag

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

There were so many different reactions to Spain's declaration. It wasn't like the reactions he normally got in the Americas and Pacific. Those reactions were typically uniformed, all alike in one way or another. But this place was different it was almost as if these people. . . weren't he same?

Slowly, he returns his sword to his side, still debating if it's the right thing to do. "Spain." He replies finally, coming closer.

Romeo blinked at the man who walked into the cafeteria and announced that he was claiming the tower. He was a little, well very, scary and had a sword and looked just like a noble man so Romeo hid a little. He thought he had maybe seen him before, but never looking like this and really it was silly, the tower belonged to no one except the bad kidnappers and he didn't even know why anyone would want it anyways.

But there was something else, Spainish Empire, Spainish meant from Spain, Romeo frowned, was he another country person? He knew sometimes there was a girl and a boy of a country. "But miss Spain is kind," he muttered, more to himself and Piccolo than to anyone else, "And this man looks mean and scary."

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

Of course Spain would be dressed rather nobly. Certainly, he wasn't dressed in his best but his naval uniform would have to do. After dealing with some of the people in the cafeteria first, he gives one last look around, seeing Romeo. "Hm? You don't have to hide, chico."
