[There's a huge bonfire in the yard, next to the fountain. It isn't hard to guess the nature of it since there are many pieces of burnt paper dancing in the flames, and you can still see letters burning; not to mention the baskets with letters that are waiting to be thrown into the flames

[And in time Renee moseys her way downstairs, following the signs of fire. When she arrives she glances around a bit...because of the audio of the feed she honestly had no idea who she was looking for, but hey! At least she looked cute in the outfit she picked out...

Now that her hair, nails, and make-up was fixed anyway.]

[watchful_knight]

[He turns around to greet the newcomer.]

I'm glad you could come.

[nailsareawesome]

[The blond waves a bit before walking over to him.] There's nothing else to do at this hour... So I might as well get out more.

[watchful_knight]

I guess there really isn't. [He laughs softly and offers her one hand for a handshake.]

My name is Lithuania, by the way.

[alwaysaboom]

(Ivanova showed up, carrying a basket of her paper letters at least, most were on her computer and would have to be deleted.

At least burning this crap would be cathartic.)

[watchful_knight]

[Lithuania noticed her and turned slightly to look at her. The smile on his face looked a bit strained, as if there were a lot of things on his mind, but still sincere and warm.]

Good afternoon.

[alwaysaboom]

Good afternoon, I think I spoke to you on the network about burning these abominations.

I'm Commander Susan Ivanova. (She added, by way of greeting.0

[watchful_knight]

Are you from Eastern Europe?

[Which, to him, is East of him. Or rather, his and Poland's mainlands.]

Action!

[reckless_eagle]

[Poland has burned most of his. There are a few, though, that he can't quite bring himself to--ones from his citizens in the time the Major spoke of.]

[A pitiful, worthless failure of a nation. You couldn't protect us. All dead, because you were so weak.]

[...He's starting to almost miss the ones that called him a sexual deviant. At least he knew for sure that they weren't true. He stands out near the fire, letters in his hands, trying to convince himself that they're something he should destroy.]

Action!

[watchful_knight]

[Liet walks over, standing next to him, and then reaches out to softly cover one of Poland's hands with his.]

You know that they aren't real.

Action!

[reckless_eagle]

[Clasps Liet's hand]

...I totally know, it's just...

[He hasn't shown these ones to Liet, or said why they in particular upset him so much.]

Action!

[watchful_knight]

Shhh

[He pulls Poland softly into a gentle hug.]

What is it?

[helena_campbell]

Wow, you even made a pulley...

[watchful_knight]

It seemed to make sense, there really are a lot of those letters, it would have been hard to carry all of them down to this place via the stairs.

[helena_campbell]

Yeah... except I really feel like getting out of my room right now, so I'll probably pass by.

[watchful_knight]

I'll be down here, if you want to talk, or you can just stop by and watch the fire for a while.

[jesusing_clown]

[Throwing handfuls of hatemail into the fire with a smile on his face, burn letters burn.]

[watchful_knight]

[Walking a bit around the fire, stopping a few feet away from Allen.]

Are you alright?

[jesusing_clown]

-Oh, hello again. Yes, I'm fine. Just getting rid of these.

[watchful_knight]

You ...look very happy.
