towerofanimus | [OPEN] ANXIETYYYY

Characters: Poland and every last person ever.
Setting: Room 1-18, stairs, cafeteria
Format: Action.
Summary: Poland is new, Poland is shy, and Poland is confused. Sure are a lot of strangers in this here tower, but his search to figure out where the hell he is has him going all over.
Warnings: Poland being very shy.

['Your world has been destroyed. I saved you. Let's all be happy here'

That made absolutely no sense. If his world had been destroyed, he wouldn't even be here now. And who saved him? Those burning questions are pretty much gone, though, once he realizes that in the room he's in.

And that there are people he does not know. It takes him a few moments (moments filled with quivering and very obvious stranger anxiety) before he makes a run for it. He has no idea where he is and it kind of pisses him off. Was he kidnapped or something? Kidnapping is lame.

He gets lost a few times before he manages to find his way to the cafeteria because he smells food and hey, food. Food is always good.]

[He can't miss someone talking to him and he glances over to Lithuania. If it should stand out to him that this is another Lithuania? It does not and he just runs over to him, hiding behind him as he grabs onto his shirt. This has always been his favorite hiding spot.]

[Lithuania only noticed because his Poland is a girl. Having Poland behind him now causes a stinging sense of unhappiness at how only a little off this is. Also, how is he going to explain this?]

Um... You just got here right?

[He nods and keeps himself hidden behind Lithuania.]

Liet, this is so weird. I don't even know where I am and like...people are here that I don't know and I was like "Oh my gosh, what is this?!" and...

[Grabbing his shirt more.]

And it's all "Your world has been destroyed!" But I'm alive and you are too, so...it wasn't, right?

[All said only loud enough so Lithuania can hear.]

[Lithuania just looks increasingly pained. He ended up at home for a little while after arriving in the tower, and everything was gone. Here was another Poland, but Lithuanja's was--

He can't bring himself to answe in either direction about the state of their worlds, but it can't be fair to lead him on.]

P-Poland... Has anyone told you about the different universes here yet?

[He shakes his head and this feels a little weird. Lithuania really isn't acting himself and in most cases, he'd never notice. But everything is off-kilter right now and so Lithuania acting different is just...also very wrong.

But he's not going to say a word because maybe he's wrong. Maybe he's just being weird and thinking Lithuania's acting weird. Or maybe he's just going into his little world of denial.]

W-well, this place can bring people from different universes, even different versions of the same people, and I'm not--you're not--

We're not from the same world

[He hasn't seen anyone from his since Estonia and Sweden vanished. Not that he spoke to them terribly often, but it was lonely. And getting worse now.]

I-I'm sure your Lithuania could be around here somewhere! I mean, it's possible! L-lots of people show up here.

[He thinks about this and he's only confused. Something kind of hurts to hear that, like it's some sinking truth that maybe this is not his Lithuania.]

What? But like, you're definitely Lithuania and you know who I am, so--

[He starts laughing and lets go of his shirt, trying not to look nervous.]

Liet, you're still really bad at joking! Gosh, you seriously need to stop trying. You'll never tell a good joke!

I'm not, I mean I can tell jokes, I mean-- I mean I'm not joking. I'm sorry, um, you look a lot like my Poland but you're not her.

[Maybe referencing the most obvious thing will help. But nothing is really going to help this.]

I-I don't know what's different between our worlds, maybe just genders or maybe something in history, but--um--

[Whete was he going with this, he needs to not let his mouth run away with him.]

I'm sorry.

[Okay, Lithuania would have reacted differently to that line and...

'Her'.

He takes a step back and tries to act calm, putting his hair behind his ear as now he's very lost. He's in a place he doesn't know and apparently this Lithuania, who seems exactly like his Lithuania, doesn't really know him. That's pretty disheartening.

But it's not like Poland's the type to let this bug him (even though it very much does) so he smiles.]

Woops, I guess! Um, I'll like...go. Now.

[Yeah, he is trying to hurry his way out of there now. Probably one of the most embarrassing things to happen to him in a long time. Also pretty sad.]

Ah, wait! [He takes off after Poland without knowing why he's doing it. Even If it's not his Poland--]

If--If you go back up to the dorms there are names next to the rooms that list everyone. I'm in 1-04, but if you check you might be able to find your Lithuania in a different one.

[His tone is apologetic and a bit depressed all at once. This isn't fair.]

[He looks at him, trying his hardest to keep smiling which he does succeed at. He's very good at smiling even when the situation is tough to smile in.

But he does have one burning question:]

You like...know me as a girl, right?

[He's feeling kind of shy and he looks down. He should really just leave and forever avoid this Lithuania.]

[Lithuania looks uncertain--or moreso than he has been.]

Y-yes? I've lived with her for four hundred years.

[Yup, that long.]

Seriously?!

[Because this sounds like...Did his female self have his dream come true? Wow. There is some jealousy over this.

And he's so damn curious. But this is so awkward.]

Seriously what?

[Did he say something weird?]

That you've lived with me...her...whatever! For that long? Liet and I only started living together again.

[Most would know this is not a good subject to mention, but this is Poland and he is horribly curious.]

You stopped? [Confused.] My Poland and I have lived together since the Union of Lublin.

Ugh, so lucky.

[Yeah, he actually looks irritated at this.]

Did something happen in your world?

Yeah, um. Stuff.

[And now he's realizing that oh, he really shouldn't be talking to this Lithuania anymore. Even if he looks like his Lithuania and still sort of like him. He acts awkward again and looks away.]

Guess I'll like...go look for my Liet and stuff.

[Lithuaia looks away as well, realizing once he sees Poland's reaction that wasn't something to ask so casually, and again reminded that his Poland was nowhere to be found in the Tower.]

Good luck.

[He gives him one last look before he walks away.

This has been sufficiently embarrassing and depressing!]
