Alternate Continuity Fun

((Set right after these comments, ignore the collapsed ones.))

[Avoiding eye-contact when you stand up again, staring intently into the fire.]

Just, like, move the wood closer to here.

[Going to grab the other can then, and try to stand up, wincing greatly and quickly shifting the weight over to the other foot. Trying to decide if getting closer is worth it, but in the end just deciding to throw from where he's standing.]

[lietmeupinside]

[...good job. You got him in the injured leg. o/]

[That'll be an unpleasant awakening- especially since it fit the dream just a little too well.]

Nn- aaah!

[lietmeupinside]

[Panting a bit, not really fully awake yet, staring wildly around at the darkness.]

[polemyname]

[Making a face at you from where he is standing, not making any signs to move.]

Stop that!

[lietmeupinside]

Stop... stop what...?

[Hand's going to grope cautiously down to his leg to see why it's so warm all of a sudden- and come away sticky.]

[polemyname]

Dreaming about him. I totally don't wanna know what you two do together!

[Still watching you cautiously from here.]

[lietmeupinside]

[Suddenly very still and very quiet.]

...

Did- did I say something?

[polemyname]

You were being way loud, y'know.

[lietmeupinside]

W-was I?

...

Sorry.

[polemyname]

-That's all you're, like, gonna say?! You're making me listen to your stupid moaning in that language, and you keep being all "c'mon, Poland, it's so not like that"? I seriously hope he comes back for you again, then! And he can, like, take all the Baltics for what I care.

[lietmeupinside]

[Ow. Ow. Ow.]

[lietmeupinside]

My brothers have nothing to do with what he-

With what-

With what happened.

[polemyname]

That still means you're, like, admitting it! And you're totally betraying them too then. I knew you were totally strange, but you're, like, plain wacko about that. Don't you realize that's way disgusting? I should so never have come over to you after we got our independence back!

[lietmeupinside]

Poland- stop it. Just- just stop. You don't- you don't know what you're talking about.

[polemyname]

Or maybe you should, like, never have started it, y'know? And 'course I'll never understand, cuz I would never subjugate myself to something like that! But if you, like, enjoy being some begging puppet, fine go be it! Cuz you'd just ignore me if I tried to stop you, wouldn't you?

[lietmeupinside]

[Sits stock still for a moment before he rises, slowly, and turns to face you.]

I won't... I won't go back to him. Not ever. Maybe you missed the last twenty years, but I'm not his anymore- or yours. You can't just tell me where to go or- or- or give me away when it suits you!
