♕ 1. But he doesn't have a flag

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?"

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?"

"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."

"Um, I think we're having a misunderstanding. " She almost feels bad for the guy, even if his boasting is pretty out there. He clearly isn't aware of his lack of an empire right now.

"You're at the Tower, if it helps. Your empire probably hasn't come with you," she starts.

There is always a misunderstanding when it comes to Spain. "Hm? What do you mean--. . ." And then her final statement begins to dawn on him, but not completely.

"Of course. I doubt it would fit in this place."

"Ah," Wow Spain. She really doesn't want to be the one to explain this. "That's to say, it's gone, I mean."

[mercantilistic.livejournal.com]

"But I'm still here." Yes, that completely went over his head.

"What's the point of the leader being here if the empire is gone?" Saying that herself kind of hurts.

But it looks like only being blunt will work! "Um. I'm sorry, this is rude of me. The people who had brought you here say that your world is gone and you are a survivor. It might be best if you search for any others of your world."

"Ah, I'm not the leader. The leader is actually back at home and. . ." Spain pauses, her words finally meaning something, "You mean, you aren't from here?"

Mercedes nods, glad that it's possibly less likely that he'll use that sword now. "No one inside this tower is from here. We've all been taken to this place and are unable to leave."

"But if you aren't from here then how are you here?" Spain asks. Of course, the same could be said about him but it's not like he thought it through.

"Ah," she sighs. "We're not really sure. They say they took us to protect us but t'is all vague, really. I'm sure you can speak with them somehow."
