[There's a huge bonfire in the yard, next to the fountain. It isn't hard to guess the nature of it since there are many pieces of burnt paper dancing in the flames, and you can still see letters burning; not to mention the baskets with letters that are waiting to be thrown into the flames

(Ivanova showed up, carrying a basket of her paper letters at least, most were on her computer and would have to be deleted.

At least burning this crap would be cathartic.)

[Lithuania noticed her and turned slightly to look at her. The smile on his face looked a bit strained, as if there were a lot of things on his mind, but still sincere and warm.]

Good afternoon.

[alwaysaboom]

Good afternoon, I think I spoke to you on the network about burning these abominations.

I'm Commander Susan Ivanova. (She added, by way of greeting.0

[watchful_knight]

Are you from Eastern Europe?

[Which, to him, is East of him. Or rather, his and Poland's mainlands.]

[alwaysaboom]

I was born in St.Petersberg actually.

(Although she wondered if this man was from the same time period as Poland. He certainly dressed like it.)

[watchful_knight]

I've never heard about that place, where is it?

[alwaysaboom]

It's in Russia. What year are you from?

[watchful_knight]

The early 15th century.

[alwaysaboom]

I think that's before my city was around, actually.

(She's throwing handfuls of letters into the fire.)

[watchful_knight]

I guess so... will it be large?

[alwaysaboom]

Yes, it will be a huge city by my time, with rouchly 13 million people and a space port.

[watchful_knight]

...A space port?

[The future really is a strange place. And he really wonders... okay, brb getting a stick to draw a map of Europe into the snow.]

[alwaysaboom]

For ships that fly to other worlds.

(She watched him curiously, still feeding letters into the fire.)

[watchful_knight]

[It is a rather well drawn map, especially the area between the Polar, the Baltic and the Black Sea is very clear and correct.]

Where is it?

[alwaysaboom]

(She'll point to the spot.)

There.

[watchful_knight]

I think that is Novgorod's territory. How large is Muskovy -Russia?
