A Harsh Slap in the Face

[oilandtinderbox]

"There has to be something...." Arthur mumbled to himself. He opened any doors he came by, but none seemed to hold what he was searching for. "One would think a place that generates any type of room at random would at least have something of a market or the like. I wanted to find a birthday present for-"

Your AU sounds intense. It's awesome though. Hope you don't mind me tagging.

[Spain is just making his way through HQ, exploring as usual, when he suddenly hears a scream. Startled, he looks towards the direction it comes from and quickly goes to investigate. He finds nothing amiss down the hallway he searches, but he does find what looks like a collapsed England]

[Concerned, though also wary, he crouches down before the other] Arthur? Are you all right?

[si_espana]

[Spain doesn't know how to answer that question] I wouldn't know... What is this Shadow anyway?

And I apologize. My name is Antonio. [Smiles to him, hoping to set the other at ease somewhat]

[oilandtinderbox]

Antonio... Arthur Kirkland.

[He sits on a nearby bench, looking at the ground.] I'm not exactly sure, myself. It's this... [He searches for words to describe it.] haunting, deadly presence that is following me. I thought I had lost it when I arrived here, but...

[si_espana]

Antonio Fernandez Carriedo. It's nice to meet you, Arthur.

[He listens and moves to sit beside Arthur] Where is it from? Is it dangerous?

[oilandtinderbox]

Very. It protects this strange orb I found in my world. I don't remember much more than that... There are many things I don't remember.

[si_espana]

Is there any way to escape it?

You must have had a challenging life.

[oilandtinderbox]

I think that was what I was trying to find out.... I can't think of any other reason why I would go to Prussia. [Rubs his forehead.] Ngh, headache....

[si_espana]

[Watches him and sighs] Maybe it's better to not think of it now?

[oilandtinderbox]

Perhaps... But it will have to be addressed eventually.

[si_espana]

[Smiles a little and nods] Of course...

[oilandtinderbox]

[He sighs.] All I wanted to do was find a present for Felicia...

[si_espana]

Maybe I can help.

[oilandtinderbox]

Ah... would you mind? [He hasn't really bought a gift for a woman before. Er, he thinks. He made one but that might be different...]]

Sorry for the lateness ^^;

[si_espana]

Not at all~

Not a problem~

[oilandtinderbox]

R-Right, then. [He clears his throat.] I was hoping to find her a necklace, or something of the like...
