23:30:00
Silent dormitory rooms are lined with bodies--not dead, just sleeping. Throughout the tower it is pitch black and silent. At the base of the tower, countless shining eyes, watching.

23:45:00
The tower hums to life. Lights blink on in one by one; only the dormitory rooms remain dark. A small army of blank-faced humanoids appear and spend the next ten minutes taking various positions around the tower.

23:59:00
An order given. The dormitory room lights blink on.

00:00:00
You are awake.

00:00:30
You can move.

[She's glad, really glad, to see Norway, but it will hardly show. Maybe in the way in which she relaxes for just a moment. Until she notices that this Norway really has the wrong physical appearance. Hair and chest and waist and... but it would be very rude to address that right now, maybe one of Norway's magical friends got angry or he accidentially got in the way of one of the British brothers. Let's talk about something else first.]

're you alone?

[Usually Denmark and Iceland are not that far away when she meets Norway, at least as of lately...]

[ She nods. ]

'n you're the same. [ She doesn't relax, but she gets more comfortable--at least being around Sweden had become fairly normal for her even if it's not her favorite thing. ]

Ya look for them but not Den 'n me? [ She at least thought that Sweden and Denmark were on better terms lately. ]

Denmark and you can t'ke care of yerselves.

[She thought that was obvious. As much as she will fight and yell at Denmark, she also thinks that the other woman is the most capable of protecting herself out of the other Nordics. And Norway does not only have Denmark, she also has a mind sharp enough to avoid trouble if they should arise. Well, one day when she will have managed to get Norway to live with her, she will take care of her, but. That is not yet.]

[ It's not that Norway wants someone to look out for her, she likes that Sweden thinks she can do things on her own because that's what she's been trying to prove for a while. She's just a little bothered by the Sweden's lack of interest in their union that she pushed for. But at the same time-- ]

So ya don't care? [ Not in an offended way, but more of 'are you accepting my independence' way. ]

[What is Norway getting at? More importantly, how does she make him change back to normal, this is becoming seriously creepy.]

's Denmark's place r'ght now. [As in, the person who is allowed to care is her sister, but only until she can have her neighbour live with her.]

What are ya talkin' about? Den's got nothin' to do with this.

[Just giving Norway a look that asks "why not?!"]

[ Norway is equally as confused, but if she is giving Sweden a look, it's not obvious. What, does Sweden want Denmark involved? ]

... Don't tell me ya like the idea of bein' unified with Den again. [ Scandinavism is on the rise... ]

Only 'f I lead.

[Without missing a heartbeat. It's not that unthought of; with herself still going strong, maybe even going to expand more depending on how the current peace talks go, and Denmark's star threatening to sink lower and lower...

She'd like that, but is also aware that no house would really be able to survive them living together again at the same time, at least not for long. But before someone else makes claims on her sister....]

[ Norway frowns a little at that. She's definitely not into the idea. ]

Ya know it won't happen. Den's too busy on her own 'n ya can't make that decision without me.

You both m'ght need it soon.

[If Denmark-Norway looses more and more strenght and someone gets interested in them...]

[ She doesn't understand why Sweden keeps referring to her and Denmark together--it's a little annoying. ]

Den can take care of herself 'n we've no need for it. [ But she doesn't want to argue about that anymore so-- ]

Ya think it was destroyed?

[She does not really understand what Norway is trying to say, but agrees that Denmark can take care of herself - and about the destruction...]

What do you th'nk?

Doesn't make sense. Can't live without our people. Then why would we be brought here?
