towerofanimus | COMPUTERS ARE HARD.

Characters: Poland and anybody dumb enough to get involved
Setting: Library, any time.
Format: starting with action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Poland figures maybe he should try out the computers, but computers are confusing!
Warnings: Poland is really bad with computers. Really. Bad.

[Almost everybody in this tower seemed to use computers. Poland didn't understand them, but he couldn't let that stop him! It was already on so that saved about ten minutes of trying to figure that out. He was doing good and he hadn't even done anything yet. This had to be a sign everything would be fine.

But Poland really wasn't sure what to do next. There was the keyboard so you typed with that. He did know that much. So he tried to type in hi. And nothing happened. Maybe there was some button he had to press somewhere else. Standing up, he looked around the computer, looking for buttons that could say anything, but there were none to be found.

So maybe if he just pressed a lot of keys? Trying that, he heard a beep and jumped, staring at the computer. Why did it beep?! Feeling confused, and he really hated that feeling, he pouted and looked down.]

I totally hate you...

Did you break it yet?

[Oh the cockiness in that statement was amazing, if Poland couldn't tell who it was through tone of voice he would once the Prussian strolled over to the computer terminal.]

[Oh good Lord. That voice.

Poland turned around to look at him, glowering.]

Did you break your face yet?

[It was a terrible comeback, but this was Prussia! Who needed good comebacks?]

Good one, did Lithuania think that one up for you?

[It doesn't phase Prussia in the slightest as he drops himself into the chair at the next computer and looks at Poland's monitor.]

If you want to make it work, use the mouse and double click on the net icon that says network.

No.

[Yep, that's all he says because he can't think up anymore comebacks before he does as Prussia says. Or tries. He's looking for the icon.

What's an icon?]

I totally knew that.

Its the picture here. [points to the icon that says Network]

Someone fell off the turnip truck, how do you even operate your phone to know when world meetings are?

[Poland clicks it and tries his hardest to act like he knew that all along. Which isn't very convincing.]

I was never even on a turnip truck first of all and ugh, like, phones are easy. You pick them up.

[That just makes Prussia laugh and grin.] Yeah, I guess you get Lithuania to show you emails and such. It's amazing you have a soild government.

[Actually, Poland doesn't have Lithuania show him emails!...because then Lithuania would know how bad Poland is with technology. He can't know!

But with that last one, he smirks at him.]

At least I have a government.

And who's made you cry for the last thousand years? [You get a dark look and a bit of a threatening tone.]

Am I supposed to say you or something? [Still only smirking.]

[He just leans in close to Poland with a grin even the devil would be afraid of.] You should. And here I was being nice and helping you out. You always were a smug little brat.

[Poland really does not like how close he is because hey, personal space. He doesn't let it show because if he can stand up to Russia, he can deal with Prussia.] And you were always a loser, so like, what's your point?

[Smirks and sits back like the cocky bastard he is, letting Polands insult roll off him like water off a duck.] Looks like you finally grew a pair Poland.

[Poland rolls his eyes and relaxes in his seat.] Why did you 'help me' anyway? I mean, I totally knew what I was doing so it wasn't really helping. [This is obviously believable.]

You're so full of shit your eyes are turning brown, you had no clue what you were doing. As for why I helped you? I was bored, not like there's much to do in this tower.

This tower is totally boring...

[He is just going to ignore that first bit.]

Yeha, just wait until the nasty shit starts happening. I wonder how Liz is doing...

[He zones out, don't worry Poland, he's mostly forgotten you're there.]

[Poland kind of stares at him before he grins.]

'Liz'?

What? [Raises an eyebrow at him.] Aren't you supposed to be pretending to log onto the network? Either that or go back to being as entertaining as furniture.
