niepokonany | Third Uprising [Video and Action]

[Video]

[Poland is dangling from one of the structures on the playground in a position that's far more comfortable than it looks, the urge to try and talk to people having struck him during his morning walk.]

Okay, but no, like, here's what I totally don't get. Did they like, just kidnap us to hang out and play house or whatever? 'Cause for all I've heard about some war, I'm only sure this isn't some weirdo Russian plot to bore me to death 'cause he'd never be able to get Fryderyk in on something like that. And I guess 'cause Siberia is way more boring than here, not to mention there's a ton less food.

So I was thinking, like, I'd check out the rest of the enclosure. Has anyone found anything awesome out there? Like, how far can we go? Is there anywhere nobody's been to yet? 'Cause I so wanna see it if there is!

Also, I was thinking and stuff... Like, if dead people can show up here, pretty much anyone can, right? So... Like... I mean, the other nations could, too. Which would be hella rad if it was like Hungary or Italy or someone, but, um...

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm super bored anyway, so I wanna start training again!

[Also that he doesn't want to get his ass kicked if Russia or Prussia turns up.]

[Action, open]

[In the morning, he's wandering around the village, looking for anything to keep him amused, when he spots a small structure he'd overlooked before, probably because it's between two residential buildings he rarely has any need to go to. Once he gets closer, though, he recognizes it--and just stops in his tracks for a moment, staring at it with intensity. There are stables. Which means in all likelihood there are horses, which means he will goddamn well get one somehow. A Pole without a horse is like a body without a soul, right? Maybe if he asks someone inside, they can help him figure out how to get one...

After the stables, he goes about his errands in town, dropping by the grocery store for vegetables and cheese, the bakery for some hearty, grainy bread, and then the clothing store to see if there's anything he likes. Maybe today will be the day he tries out some of those future-clothes! ]

[You're the one who wants to talk about horse sex, man.]

You're weirdly serious about this.

I'd say to just bring it up with the stable owner. She could help you figure something out. Spring is only a few months away, after all.

Isn't that what NATO is for though? [Because you can't just...kill off other nations. Or pull crap like that without some kind of retribution.]

Like, what's a NATO?

[He's from nearly a century before the League of Nations, to say nothing of the UN or NATO. The only attempts at justice he gets are his own uprisings, which sometimes seem to just serve as a reminder that he's still alive, and are met with harsh crackdowns.]

[Uh, how does she explain this.]

It's an organization where essentially nations sort of watch each other's backs so stuff like that doesn't happen. [She's not really a huge political gal, isn't that what it does?]

You mean like a political union?

'Cause I had one of those, until Russia kidnapped my partner.

[He really doesn't feel he can overemphasize that point right now.]

[Only in the context of how to get more horses!]

Um, 'cause horses are badass? If you don't think so, I'd be happy to take that one.

[Idle words. Mostly.]

So like, where can I find her?

Hell no! I earned him. [BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS. Sort of.]

[--Er...] ...I never got her name, actually.

That's right. Out in the opening.

Yeah, only this one has military power too, and more than one nation. Then they could get your partner back from Russia, and you wouldn't have to kick his ass yourself because it wouldn't be okay with everyone else.

[Sounds like Russia is a huge jerk from that point of view.]

[It takes Richard a moment to realize he's being spoken to, but once he does, he turns to face the other man with a smile, still holding the shirt up against him.]

You think so? I admit I hadn't been looking for pants today, but then again, it isn't as if you can have too many of them. A good pair of pants is one of the most versatile items of clothing one can own.

Yeah, I so thought --

Wait seriously?

Ugh. Do you at least know what she looks like?

Good pants are like cavalry--you can like, never actually have too many, and anyone who doesn't think so is probably kind of a loser.

Oh, so like, a mutual defense treaty?

Yeah, I think if anyone was gonna honor one of those, they would have done it a couple decades ago.

She has...brown hair, and it's kinda short. Uh... [He trails off, trying to think of anything else he can add.]

Spoke with a weird accent, too.

Well... Like, better than nothing, I guess?

[It's a start. It's something he can work with.]

If you keep coming back, you might run into her. Dunno how often she stops by.

[That earns him a laugh from Richard.]

A man after my own tastes, I see.

[Then, smiling, he holds out his hand.]

I'm Richard. And you are?

[Poland takes it, with the most impish of little grins.]

The kingdom of Poland! Feliks, if you're weird about the nation thing.
