Forty-Eighth Entry [Accidental Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[The camera catches Poland standing by the broken pieces of his mirror, staring at them in shock. There are faint sounds coming from the shards--fire and cannon blasts, gunshots and the clash of steel, the roar of something distinctly inhuman

[There are three probable outcomes to all of this shaking about. One, Wonderland dies and everyone inside dies with it, in which case Elaine would like to say goodbye to Poland. Two, Wonderland dies and spits everyone out back into their worlds, in which case she still wants to say goodbye. And three, the shaking stops and things return to normal, in which case she'll have had an excuse to at least talk to him.]

[Not so bad, if you think about it.]

[Except he's uhh, praying, and she doesn't know how to react to that. So she's going to cough politely and hope he notices the little blinking light on his communicator.]

[reckless_eagle]

[It takes a little more than a polite cough to distract him from his prayers, darling.]

...Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et...

[demiurgos_girl]

[Well... She's going to listen to him for a while, at least until he finishes that one prayer. After all, she doesn't have much against religion, she just doesn't follow it. And listening to someone pray is actually quite soothing.]

[But when he finishes that one prayer, or at least when he takes a long enough pause that she thinks he's done, she speaks up softly.] Hey, Poland.

[reckless_eagle]

[The "Amen" is usually a pretty good cue that he's finishing one and moving on to the next. He looks up, keeping his crucifix in hand as he turns to face the communicator.]

...Hey. Like, what's up?

Isn't it exciting?

[reckless_eagle]

[SHIT, someone's looking, look carefree :D]

What, like, the idea that someone's finally giving that bitch the Queen reason to be worried? Tch'yeah, for sure~

[Voice]

[skater_lynx]

Actually~ I was thinking if she goes down what happens to us? What if the mirrors die? What happens to us? I think there's more chance of us all dying here together than being saved or going home.

[Voice]

If there's like, no one holding us here, we'll find a way home. And even if we don't, the ground's fertile--we could totes take care of ourselves here.

[A short while later, Lithuania enters the room and stops by the door when he sees Poland kneeling there, waiting for him to get up and explain. The red liquid isn't visible form where he stands.]

[reckless_eagle]

[By that time, he's singing quietly, still holding his crucifix tightly. Liet should recognize the song he's singing (rather higher than that recording) as a hymn that he's used before battle before.]

Bogurodzica dziewica, Bogiem sławiena Maryja,
U twego syna Gospodzina Matko zwolena, Maryja!
Zyszczy nam, spuści nam.
Kyrieleison!

[watchful_knight]

[Lithuania will join him and sing along, letting Poland lead him through the lines.]

[reckless_eagle]

[Poland glances back at him, without stopping singing. When the hymn is finished and the air is still, the faint sounds of the chaos of battle can be heard from the mirror pieces again.]
