Come on, Teuton- you've been acting weird all week.

I don't like that nickname, Gary. Please call me Gilbert.

See! That's totally wrong! You said please! And those aren't our names!

[ The two "siblings" are walking home from elementary school together, both dressed for once in time-appropriate clothing. But while Hungary has gotten better at ( Read more... )

[ Outside of her house on Beaver St., Hungary seems to be putting together some kind of lemonade stand. A card table, a chair, a large mixing bowl of water, a wooden cross likely stolen from the town's church, and a banner made of Japan's living room curtains, hanging limp in the lack of breeze and strung between a broom and a mop (both buried ( Read more... )

Hello? Can everyone hear this? This is Hungary. I just thought that since Teuton is outside, now would be a pretty good time to explain things a little. I know he can be pretty annoying.

See... I'm a pretty young country. I have a nice house, but because I'm young, my neighbors are always trying to steal it from me. Especially the Cumans. But I made ( Read more... )

[ Hungary has gone to the library again, and, in a rare moment of logic, she and Teutonic Order are attempting to educate themselves about the future. Because Hungary is mildly more literate than Teutonic Order is, she's the one reading out loud-slow and halting as it is.

So, uh. Hey, everyone.

[ Little trap thing in mail and tunic and with a hand-lettered sign-her drone mom helped-sitting on the curb.

The sign reads:

He's acting weird...

[ Sigh. She rubs at her chest idly and ( Read more... )

If everyone's done acting weird, I had a question.

Where do all these spices come from?

Hey, I got a weird box. This better not be-

... [ Stabbing sounds as she takes a steak knife to it. Pause. And then Hungars sounds overjoyed. ]

H- hey! That's more like it! Thanks a lot, whoever!

[ CLICK.Hungary got her Crusader outfit back-leggings, tunic, leather jerkin, chainmail shirt, belt, boots, everything nice and 1220s and clearly ( Read more... )

Ugh.

What the heck is everyone yelling about? What's going on? ...Why was I acting so weird?

[ Half-heartedly: ] Probably some kind of sinister Cuman plot. I guess.

[ BRIGHT & EARLY Friday morning, a young chap with longish hair but tidy clothes and a red, cleanly scrubbed face, can be found out on the porch of 1763 Beaver Street, backpack firmly on his back, on his way to school. He yawns and calls a good-bye to his family-well, mother, at least-before heading down the walk, looking a little sleepy but mostly ( Read more... )
