and then a liet landed on your floor

[justaszabla]

[There's a trail of destruction running down the halls of Headquarters. Every door in a number of hallways has been destroyed: slashed in half, broken off its hinges, or splintered to pieces. The rooms beyond these doors are overturned: bookcases tipped forward onto the floor, sofas and mattresses flipped over or ripped apart, closet doors torn

Both!

[forgottenation]

Canada had been rather quiet in her room, but when the door came crashing down, she let out a startled "Maple!" and dropped the book she had been reading. At least Kumie wasn't with her or she probably would have gone after both Ivan and Toris.

"What's going on here?" the soft spoken nation asked, getting out of her bed. At least she was still dressed.

[justaszabla]

Toris was rolling around on the floor, arching his back and clutching his fingers against the small of it while grimacing. He looked up at Canada's voice and his eyebrows shot up. "S-sorry!"

[snowymadness]

"Any way I want is okay~ Ah,"

Well then. This time there finally was somebody?

"Looking." That would be about the right answer, even if lacking context.

[forgottenation]

"Looking for what?" she asked before she offered Toris a hand up. Her violet eyes went to Russia for a moment. The other nation scared her, but she could still defend herself. She really didn't want to get into a fight with Russia.

Russia!

[Eduard has spent the last few days happily tucked in a corner of Headquarters reading, surfing the internet, and sleeping in a king-sized bed in a room with a jacuzzi. Yeah, lap of luxury~

So when he's on the way to a kitchen, and he sees Ivan down the hallway, he freezes.]

[snowymadness]

[He's laughing a bit at how Toris fell, but, oh. He can do that later, right? Maybe this Eduard's the real one!]

Heyy~

[Ivan will be running over to greet the hopefully non-nation.]

[ballisticbaltic]

[crapcrapwhatdoeshedo. Should he run for it? This place seems to be infinitely huge. Ivan won't find him for a while--

OH LOOK AT WHAT HE'S DONE TO THE HALLS ALREADY]

... Hi.

[he is going to take this like a man. A man who hates his life.]

[snowymadness]

[Yes, yes, look at what will happen to the entire building if Ivan can't get what he wants.]

Kept thinking I would find one of you eventually~ I am glad.

[He should test him, though, huh?]

Ah, I need Eduard to transform for me just for a bit, now, okay?

Both would probably be good.

[freddygetyergun]

[Guess who else is down one end of a long hallway, standing with his coat out and open like a cowboy ready for a Mexican standoff.]

Ivan Braginski!

I think Liet-mun fell asleep. Your call if we still play a little or wait until morning.

[snowymadness]

[That's as good a reason as any to follow after Toris and hide in that room. Even if that means he's getting himself cornered. Maybe it's a bit of a shame that the door's gone now.]

sorry~

[justaszabla]

[Toris is wiped out on the floor, rolled onto one side and arching his back in agony. He hears Ivan approaching.]

I'm done! I'm not breaking down any more doors with y--

[Oh, he looks nervous. Sitting up with a wince.]

What is it?

np!

[freddygetyergun]

[Wait- god damn it, stop being such a coward, Braginski! Alfred runs after.]

Stop running!

Both, I guess!

[korova_kiev]

[She was just minding her own businesses! Seriously! But then she saw you guys-- what, did that szabla turn into Lithuania?]

What's this? L-Little Russia, Lithuania, what are you doing?

[snowymadness]

[Ah, that voice...]

Сестра?

[Ivan looks excited as he turns towards her.]

Searching~ ... For you, if this is not another trick.

[justaszabla]

[Lithuania crawls to the doorframe, dragging himself upright by it, and sees a girl that looks like Ivan's big sister.]

Katya?

[korova_kiev]

[He called her Katya instead of Ukraine? Okay, that confirmed they weren't from the same "universe". Let's see what to do... Let's get info first!]

Why are you searching for me? And I asked you what happened, and neither of you have told me!

Both, either, doesn't matter~

[evenburnssouls]

[Just a simple assignment, right? Find Alfred and Toris and drag both weapons back to Shibusen whether they liked it or not. Easy. Fast. Except he doesn't think this is Braginsky's house, where both of them had last been reported as being seen near.

He is not wholly familiar with the building, but he is reasonably certain that all the destruction is recent. Not done by Alfred, though. He's only slightly relieved, but immediately returns to full alert when he rounds the corner and hears what sounds like Toris' voice, whereas the only person in sight is Braginsky.]

Ah, Mr Braginsky. What a pleasant surprise.

[No, not really, but it's the gentlemanly thing to say. The only thing pleasant about this is that he now knows where half his objective is. And that likely the other half isn't far behind.]

[snowymadness]

Kirkland~

[It's mocking. Only copying the greeting style. It's given away well enough by the tone and then the fact that he hasn't even looked yet.

He'll turn to do so, now, though.]

Even an old friend [Yeah right] like you is here?

Whenever Liet wants to jump in is fine <3

[evenburnssouls]

[Two can play at passingly polite.]

So it appears. Perhaps you can answer a few questions for me, if you aren't too busy destroying this place.

[He's still being pleasant, but the edge to his tone suggests that if Ivan decides he is too busy, there will be a fight.]

[snowymadness]

Mm, well, there's a lot of it to get through...

[He moves to guard the doorway.]

But we can see~
