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! ]

[Richard is no stranger to the clothing store. In fact, he makes a trip there about once a week just to check out what's new-- it's hard not to when there's a constant influx of new items from all sorts of different worlds. (His wardrobe at home might have expanded beyond the bounds of his closet because of this, but that's beside the point.)

And oh, that striped top on the rack there looks nice and comfortable... he'll take it off the rack and hold it up to himself, as if pondering whether or not it will look good on him.

Care to offer an opinion, Feliks?]

[Feliks is nearby, turning over a corset in his hands. It looks like it's designed as outerwear, which seems impossibly scandalous until he thinks about how half the women here dress. There's a similar one on a mannequin nearby, worn over a short-sleeved shirt with a comfortingly high neckline and a knee-length skirt with a tantalizing amount of ruffles... He's just about to start looking for something similiar to try the corset on with, when he spots another shopper.]

[He might have seen him around the clothing store once or twice before, and maybe that gives him the little boost of confidence to speak to a stranger.]

You're thin enough to pull off the stripes. I guess it'd look kinda good with the pants on that table?

[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.

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.

[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.
