[ The amount of sweets on the cafeteria menu was okay with Lithuania at first. He didn't particularly enjoy a sugar overdose, but every once in a while was alright. After the second meal of apple pie, ice cream, and root beer, he'd had enough and have taken it upon himself to make his own dishes. This proved difficult though when the kitchen was filled with mostly sugar, ice cream, and other ingredients that didn't really help him in making anything that wasn't a cavity waiting to happen. Apples, however, were a familiar fruit, and one he knew he could do a lot with.

In a small cloth sack he'd retrieved from his trunk, he'd packed a small lunch consisting of what he could make; apple kompot, a few apple sandwiches with sauteed oatmeal in a kind of sugar glaze, some of the pre-made apple pie, and then of course just the plain fruit itself. It proved to taste a little better than what was on the menu, he found, though he had made more than enough for one person.

Because the cafeteria proved proved dubiously filled with loudness, Lithuania had decided to try someplace else. After scaling nearly a dozen floors, he found Floor Ten, filled with water and fish floating around. It was magnificent and he couldn't help but marvel at it. It was quiet, though, and that was all he wanted. He sat on the base of the stairs, eating, wondering if the fish were hungry as well, since he knew HE couldn't eat all this food by himself... ]

Fish can't breathe anything BUT water. It might kill them. [ And no one wants a bunch of dead fish hanging around. He takes another sandwich half from the sack, noting the glaze should be thinner next time. ] These need more dill, I think.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland's not paying much attention to what he's saying now as he watches the fish.] Do you think the fish are trapped here too?

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ Lithuania wonders very briefly if Poland is serious. Better safe than sorry. ] I think the water has them more trapped than the tower does.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

But if the fish are like, in an ocean or something, they're not trapped, right? They're home. So maybe this isn't their home. Maybe they're kind of like us? [He takes a sandwich half as he ponders that random deep moment for a moment before he frowns at the bite.] Wow, Liet. These need more dill.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

I just said that! [ He sighs. ] ...I don't know. I don't even recognize a lot of these fish. I guess you could say they're like us, though...We are both here and we can't get out. We don't have water to worry about though. I feel sorry for them.

[ Lithuania throws a whole slice in this time; a school of smaller fish close to the edge going after it now. ]

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

I guess I didn't hear! [No big deal, it's just about dill anyway.] But I totally feel for them too. They're fish and like, being a fish has to suck. They don't seem sad or anything, though. Maybe they're weird fish and they like it here.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ It's the principal of the thing. ] The fish don't know anything other than being in the water. They have food and a place to swim so I think they'll be okay. They are just fish.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Maybe. [He's silent for a moment as he just munches on the sandwiches before he speaks up.] So like, I think Hungary's gone?

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ He hadn't known Hungary was there or he'd at least have said hello. Lithuania needs to get out more. ] She couldn't have gone anywhere. We can't leave.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

France told me that people can disappear from the tower and junk. So I guess she's like...gone. [Which is actually a pretty big bummer.]

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ That's really nerve wracking to say the least. He's suddenly not that hungry. ] If that's true, something like that might even happen to us.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Nah! I totally wouldn't just let us go away. [He gives him a grin because okay, let's not get worried here.]

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ That isn't an option, really. ] I doubt that's something we can control ourselves!

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy, here we go. Lithuania worrying. Good thing Poland's used to this.] Wow, talk about a lack of faith here! I've totally got this. I won't let you disappear.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ He will never get completely used to your mentality, Poland. ] You can't just control who leaves and when , Poland. Either of us could vanish and we can't do anything about it!

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland sighs and holds out his pinky.] It'll be a Polish pact that neither of us will vanish, okay? And that's a totally serious pact.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ He stares at his pinky. ] What if one of us does, though? It's completely possible and your pinky can't do anything about that.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland pouts and shoves the pinky into his face almost. Just take the pinky already.] My pinky won't stop it, I'll stop it! I'll protect us and stuff like that, duh.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ He could go into a lecture about how fate and whatever powers that be in the tower weren't going to care much about that, but he's learned it's really not much use. He takes his pinky and links it with his friends, squeezing it gently. ]

Just...be careful.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland's pleased with that and he smiles, still holding his pinky as he grabs another sandwich to eat.] And these aren't too totally bad.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ Poland can let go anytime. ] Really? I hope so. They don't really have much to work with in the kitchen at the moment, so I did what I could.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[He's not letting go.] You need to cook more. I am so sick of cafeteria food and France won't like, cook for me every day.

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ Neither is he, mostly because he doesn't really notice all that much. ] I wouldn't mind if it wasn't all so sweet. Everything I made was sweet too, but there's not much I can do with just sugar and fruit.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Then there's no reason to let go.] I miss pork. [He misses meat.]

[gandras.livejournal.com]

[ If you say so. There's more important things to think about right now anyway. Like food. ] Even with meat, there isn't much to season it with here. Simple meatloaf and bacon would be easy, though. Making dinner here would be a little difficult.

[ Mentally going through what all he can make with bread and apples right now. ]
