[He's sure he's heard this voice somewhere before, but he can't place it. But he tries to be helpful either way. Someone from his world, he's sure--who else would directly address Austria and Hungary--but...]

Ah, Miss, I don't think you can change where they've assigned you...

I've been told so, but it is most definitely no option. I also am a married woman already, which renders this farce of a marriage void.

Well of course none of the marriages here count, Mayfield just randomly assigns them, I believe. Have you just arrived?

Yes. The situation has been explained to me for the most part. That does not mean that this match up is acceptable in any way.

I'm sorry I can't help, Miss... I do believe you can spend most of your time outside whatever house you've been assigned to as long as you sleep in it every little while?

Is this only about sleeping in the house in general, and do we at least get to choose a different bedroom?

I believe it's just the house.

That is something, at least.

I will require help moving things, I guess. You don't happen to know whom I would have to ask, since there seem to be no servants in this house?

May I ask what year it is for you? This is supposed to be 1950s America, so servants aren't common, no. But if you know Miss Hungary and Mister Austria, I'm sure they would help?

That Evil Man mentioned that they are here, but I haven't been able to contact either of them yet.

...It is the year of our Lord 1745.

Ah, my apologies. [She tries to calm down, this strange little box seems to make her forget all her manners. And if this person knows about nations, he is either a king/duke/etc or a nation himself, and either way should be treated with some respect. Even though he does sounds more polite ...humble might be the right word... than she's ever heard any other nation talk.

Either way, if he knows Hungary and Austria, it would be better if they both knew whom they're dealing with. Even though introducing oneself is strange and she is not completely sure if she's doing it right.] I'm Maria Theresia of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Croatia. May I inquire your name?

[Oh, that explains why she seems a bit familiar. Proper introduction, then.]

I'm the Republic of Lithuania--though of course just Lithuania is fine. Ah, but in your time I would be half of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. It's 2011 for me. ...You probably have heard more about Poland. [For many reasons, but perhaps chiefly because... He's Poland.]

...

It is nice to meet you again, Lithuania. Would you mind explaining to me how relationships between you and the other nations work in this place?

Everything seems a bit confusing, I'm afraid, as so many of us are from different times, and are nursing different grudges...

[His automatic thought is to dealing with the Cold War issue again, although of course this wouldn't be something she would ever realistically have had to deal with. But now...]

I haven't been here terribly long, but there seems to be a bit more neutrality here. Though it's not entirely neutral, of course... We're all interpreting it in our own ways.

I, for my own part, have no real interest in fighting battles that have already taken place for me.

I understand.

...The best way to go about this might be to seek out those that might pose a problem and come to an agreement, should any issues be relevant in this place. [This includes first and foremost her not!husband.]

Easier said than done, really. ...I'd consult with Miss Hungary and Mister Austria before interacting much with Russia. I haven't spoken much to either of them, but Russia is... Often difficult. [Understatement.]

He always seemed like a well-mannered young man to me, but I will do yo, thank you.
