zestien - Destruction

[gezellighe]

[A] - 1447 Mitchell Rd.

[Holland is slowly, slowly waking up amidst rubble.  Once he gets past the disorientation of not waking in bed, of not feeling rested and realizing he'd passed out . . . he's going to look for others.  Canada, he knew, was droned, and he feared the worst for her, unable to really defend herself.  He knew Hilda was much more

Hey, is anyone out there? ( ( Spain is yelling into the chaos, trying to find someone. Up ahead, he sees a familiar shadow (or two) and runs towards them, reaching out to catch their attention, ) ) Hey, wait, a minute! Hey, it's me--!

yay

[gezellighe]

[No way that Holland could forget that voice; he turns around, watching Spain rush up to them.]

You survived.

[It's more of an observation than anything.]

/sneaks in too

[welljustwatchme]

Spain! You're okay! Have you seen anyone else?

Re: /sneaks in too

[pasodoble]

I did! I am! I'm. . . ( ( Too much is happening at once. He has to wrap his head around them a moment before he continues. When he begins to list the people he's seen so far, he'll also list the two of them. ) ) I-- yes. Romana is well and so is Cuba and both of their families and. . . Canada and Ne-N-N--

( ( Staring at the Netherlands definitely has him remembering someone. He was going to find her next but, ) )

Have you seen Belgium?

[gezellighe]

[Don't mess with him, Spanje.]

Did you hit your head?

[Suddenly inspecting Spain's head for injuries.]

[welljustwatchme]

Is he here? [Panic mode, even if she's glad Romana and Cuba are safe. Belgium is another one of those high on her list of people she'll do anything to help.]

Or... her, I guess. Either one of them?

[pasodoble]

No, no, well, I did but I'm fine. ( ( He pushes Netherlands away and shakes his head, ) ) You didn't know. . . ?

( ( That Belgium was here? He looks at the two of them for some sort of sign that says otherwise. This isn't how anyone should find out about someone. ) )

[gezellighe]

[He looks at Spain, then at Canada.

. . . then back to Spain. It has to be a head wound, so he'll reach for the other again.]

There's no way she's here.

[welljustwatchme]

[Canada stares dumbly at Spain for a moment, then reaches out to tug at Holland's sleeve.]

Stop that. We need to find her.

[pasodoble]

( ( The color runs out of Spain's face and he lowers his voice some, trying to speak calmly. For the most part, he succeeds, but the tone is uncharacteristic of a cheerful person like him, ) )

She hasn't been here for very long. I thought you knew, I'm so-- Canada is right. We need to find her. We can split up to find her faster.

ooc: if they decide to split up, Belgium-mun has a post you can use to find her. . .

[gezellighe]

[It's the look on Spain's face that finally gets him believing, and he looks at Spain in some shock, eyes widening. The idea of Belgium out there without him is enough to set his temper, and he steps closer to Spain, angrily. ]

How could you know she was here and not say anything to me.

[He's not yelling, but it's clear he's very upset.]

[welljustwatchme]

Nederland. Now's not the time! You can be upset with Spain later. After we make sure she's safe.

1/2

[pasodoble]

( ( He'd prefer it if they weren't upset at him at all but now isn't the time to address that. He looks down at the ground, almost ashamed for not telling Holland earlier. He understands how important she is to him and now-- ) )

I thought you knew! I'm sorry, Holanda.

[pasodoble]

( ( And he looks up, eyes serious and determined. Standing up straight he begins to speak in an authoritative tone. ) )

Belgica is still out there and we have to find her. If we split up, we'll cover more ground. When we find her we can argue later, understood?

[gezellighe]

Fine. We'll split up.

[Though if looks could kill, Spain would be nothing but dust right now.]

We can't leave Hilda and there's others too.

[He'll look at Canada pointedly.]

[welljustwatchme]

We'll get back. Hilda's safe. We need to make sure Belgium is, too.

[She's looking back just as pointedly. Spain may have her utmost respect in this situation, but she won't take Holland sending her away from him easily.]
