Silent dormitory rooms are lined with bodies--not dead, just sleeping. Throughout the tower it is pitch black and silent. At the base of the tower, countless shining eyes, watching.
23:45:00The tower hums to life. Lights blink on in one by one; only the dormitory rooms remain dark. A small army of blank-faced humanoids appear and spend

What... Poland?

Testing out his limbs to make sure nothing was harmed (not that he couldn't heal himself), he turns to the other person who woke before him.
"This is not Heaven, Earth or Hell."

"Ah, it's not Earth...?"
Where else could he be, if not on Earth? Space travel wasn't that advanced yet.

"Let down your hair?" She laughed a bit bitterly before she moved away from the glass. Seeing the world around was useless when it was all featureless.

"Hey, is this your place?"

"No...And I assume it's not yours. I don't think we've met."

If anyone else happens to be around, she'll be that petite young woman with her hair pulled back and a look on her face like she's trying to read everything in here today.

If Lithuania sounds more worried than usual--and he does--it's because he's on his way back up the tower. Only five floors, all of which he searched thoroughly except this one, which he'd glanced over and assumed no one would want to linger on. No sign of anyone from Poland-Lithuania, and his bias toward his partner and sister was becoming increasingly obvious.
He ignores the people in the infirmary who seem to be working there--at least after ascertaining that they're decidedly unhelpful in helping him--in favor of his search.

It's on the second floor that she finally spies another person, one who looks just as lost as she is. "You there," she calls out. "Do you know anything about this place?"

"I'm afraid not, I've only just woken up and it's fairly obvious the note is a lie. But it seems there are a few others in the same situation. I don't suppose you've seen anyone called Poland or Latvia?

Luckily, the long trek down a few floors was a fruitful one.
Now in the cafeteria, there seemed to be an assortment of things...er...an assortment of oatmeals and cereals. What a bland breakfast. Whatever, he couldn't well starve could he?
Bowl of cereal acquired.

Instinct somehow led her to where the other man was, and she tilted her head questioningly.
"Ah, hola, señor. I hope I'm not intruding."

Unfortunately, Romano hadn't discovered that there were things belonging to him in his trunk, as he'd fled the room before exploring it as he should have, so he was still in the... strange suit, and slightly embarrassed for it.
"Oh, ciao, no, you're not intruding, signora. I was just--" He sets the bowl aside, appetite lost for now. Couldn't eat in front of a woman who wasn't also eating. "..uh, exploring. Found this place."
