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! ]

Dunno. I don't go around checking out horses' junk. But chances are you're right.

[Jean's gonna go back to grooming his horse while they chat. He's not being rude or anything - it's called multitasking.]

Whoa, don't be gross. I'm just saying, like, if I'm stuck here for years like some people are, that means I have a backup plan!

[Lithuania would be so proud of him, actually making a plan instead of just, like, doing stuff. That, or amazed and horrified at how his first conversations keep somehow involving junk.]

[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.

[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?
