day seven

[vytis]

[Lithuania drags Poland into the cabin and punches him in the face as hard as he can. Ideally he'll send Poland to the floor. That's definitely his intent. He's careful to avoid Poland's nose, though--he doesn't want to break it.]

[Lithuania pulls Poland into a hug and smooths down his hair.]

What happens if you win?

[notyetlost]

I don't even know.

[There's no hidden morality, no great plan to save everyone like there was last time.]

I know what happened in this camp and I know the ranger wanted me to fail. I don't know if I'm on the right side of things.

I didn't want to die.

1/2

[Lithuania pets Poland's hair in silence.]

[vytis]

I don't think you're going to die today.

[notyetlost]

[Poland looks at Lithuania wearily.]

I made things really easy on everyone last night, despite that clue.

I don't see why they wouldn't just lynch me.

[vytis]

Athena is going to try something in regards to the vote. Voting for the true killer, she called it.

[notyetlost]

What does that mean?

[vytis]

The one the Ranger mentioned--from the murder involving the children.

[notyetlost]

The paper just turns stuff like that into a name of whoever is currently playing though.

I don't think that will work.

[vytis]

That's what she wants to try, at least. I suppose we'll find out.

[notyetlost]

What if it fails?

[vytis]

Don't worry about that.

[notyetlost]

Lietuva.

3/3

[notyetlost]

You're an idiot.

[vytis]

As if you haven't been one, too.

1/2

[notyetlost]

[Lithuania's so stupid he doesn't even know the depths of how stupid he is.]

You probably don't remember this either so.

2/2

[notyetlost]

[Poland kisses him.]

[vytis]

[It catches him by surprise, but he only freezes up for an instant before his hand clutches Poland's shirt and he kisses back, his affection making his tangle of emotions even more obvious.]

[notyetlost]

Listen to me, idiot.

I don't need you to like fall on your sword for me. Do I want to die? No.

But you don't either. Just because Naoi came back doesn't mean you will.

[vytis]

With enough luck, I won't have to. [Lithuania knows the implications in allowing himself to trust his luck, though.]

You've said I have a knight in shining armor complex.

[He was never upset about Poland killing people, of course--so gentle teasing comes easily now that his anger about other things has faded.]

[notyetlost]

Liet, I'm like totally being serious!

[Somehow plotting Lithuania's execution behind his back was way more tolerable than Lithuania just giving it up for him.]

I don't even know if I'm on the right side of things, maybe my brain's so warped at this point I just think doing things that make the ranger pissed off is a good thing!

Don't you want to go home? Don't you like, want to see your people again?

[vytis]

You didn't think I was just going to keep doing more or less what you wanted the entire time, did you? [Lithuania does return to seriousness now, at least.]

Just because I don't remember everything from last time doesn't mean I don't remember anything. I wouldn't trust the Ranger any more than I'd trust Critter. I think voting for Garfield is worth a try.

[notyetlost]

Well it'd be nice if you did.

...Yeah well. [Poland purses his lips.]

It's not like I've had much luck with abstaining voters anyways maybe if it doesn't work I'll get lynched regardless.

[vytis]

Your luck is better than mine, don't say something like that.

[He pauses.]

Although, if you really were a wolf in Prayer's Pass, then maybe that doesn't apply to these sorts of situations?
