COMPUTERS ARE HARD.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

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...

He didn't know how to switch it on. Computers and him do not mix. As he watches him go to the other computer, he tries not to act like he does need him to do anything. But he does and so he'll just stare at him like a lost puppy.

Suzaku began to look through the computer finding the network quickly and moving through to the first post to see what he could learn.

After a moment he realised the other man was staring at him. Suzaku stood and moved over, "Here," he pointed at the button and pressed it. The computer whirled into life.

Poland kind of jumps at how easy that is as he watches it load up. It hits him a moment later that this man must think he doesn't know how to use a computer.

"Um, I knew how to do that! I was just tired."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded once, "This place is a little disorientating, have you been here long sir?" He waited while the computer loaded up and then showed the man how to get to the network which seemed to be the only useful thing on the computers.

Poland has to wonder why people keep calling him sir as he sees him get connected to the network. At this point Poland's just going to shut up about supposedly knowing how to work this computers because he just doesn't at all and he doesn't want to sound dumb. "Um. I guess over a month..."

Suzaku nodded, "I've been here a couple of days," the fact that people were being brought in all the time made it seem less likely that the world or worlds had actually ended. "From what I can work out these posts here are made by others like us in the tower, to reply you press this," Suzaku hovered the mouse over the correct button, "button."

The whole thing seemed easy in retrospect though he wouldn't have been able to figure out at all. But he guesses he should try to be polite. "Um...I guess somebody would say thank you. So. Thanks." The last word is said quietly.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku blinked at the strange phrasing and nodded once, "Your welcome." He went back over to his own computer, "I'm Kururugi Suzaku by the way."

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

"Um, Poland. I'm Poland." This guy seemed helpful and so Poland would try to remember his name. Poland wasn't even sure if he wanted to do anything on the computer right now anymore.

"Poland, part of the EU," he muttered mainly to himself, "You're from the world where countries are people?"

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Poland's glad somebody knows who he is and especially with such a title like that. "Yeah! You totally know who I am."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded, "There is a Poland in my world as well; the country," he clarified, "but I'm not sure if there is a person who is Poland," he hoped not. That was a frightening thought because if every nation had a person who was that nation, that meant there would be a person who was Britannia.

"I assume we are of different worlds, is there a Britannia in your world?"

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

"It's probably me!" He doesn't really understand how the world is different and how he's probably notn-existant in other worlds.

But at the mention of Britannia, he shakes his head. "Never even heard of them."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

"If you were from my world you would have heard of them, Britannia owned half the world," he paused and then added, "Not Poland though, or any of Europe."

Poland looked pretty proud. "Then that Poland is totally like me!"

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded, "Probably sir," he said not really knowing how to answer. He picked up on the pride though and noted it. He clicked through some more of the network, "So do you believe them, that the world has ended?"

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

That question makes him roll his eyes. "No way. I'd be dead. I like, can't live without my people."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

"That's good to know," Suzaku said filing away that information, "Though would all those who consider them self Polish have to be dead before you could no longer exist?"

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Poland nods at that. "Or like, they start identifying as something else. Until then I'm alive and I'm totally alive right now."

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded, that was less reasuring though, "Have you checked if there are any people here that consider themselves Polish?"

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Poland shook his head. "Nobody here's Polish." That was a little disappointing, but he still had high hopes.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku nodded, "Right," well at least that meant that there must be Polish people somewhere which would mean the world was still intact. Or at least one world, somewhere.
