A - 1447 Mitchell for
achromous
[Canada had been back for a few truly happy weeks for Holland. He was just so glad she was back, and Hilda too, and he'd tried to spend a lot of time with both of them, even if he was incredibly bad at telling them directly how badly he'd missed them. He supposed it could look really pathetic, the way he enjoyed living like a human being, and not a nation. Good thing he never really gave a damn about what others thought.
This morning, a good-morning kiss from Canada had him waking up, again, happy. As happy as he could be in Mayfield.
. . . that is, until she called him by that human name the town had given him. It wasn't her. She wasn't there, again. After literally pushing the drone away, he'll go down the hall, long and purposeful strides giving away how worried he truly was.
He'll stop at Hilda's door, knocking a bit too loudly, a bit too fast - desperate, really. Please be there.]
B - The Pharmacy
[Glad, at least, that Hilda was home, he didn't want to stay in the house with Canada's drone. While he doesn't stay at work, co-workers will notice Holland come into the pharmacy, prepare a prescription of very high strength barbiturates, then leave with them. He will not say hello.
He'll be using them to sleep tonight, hoping the sedative will do it's job. Falling asleep alone in the house had been hard, when he thought of his housemates being droned. But Hilda was there; he reminded himself of that often, now.]
C - anywhere in town
[He'll visit a few places today, walking by himself. The flower shop, the hardware store, and he'll stop at the pet store to get a new toy for his rabbit. He'll also look at all the other pets.
Anything to make him feel better. It wasn't as though he weren't used to people coming and going; he was a nation, he'd been alive for over a thousand years.
He just really, really, really hadn't wanted Canada to be droned. What if she didn't come back?
If it's any indication of how much he's been affected, and how he's feeling, Holland actually looks sad and upset. It's plain as day, right on his face, the neutral expression only trying to surface now and then when anybody talks to him.]
D - for 846 Goldberg
[There is a tall, irritated-looking nation sitting on the porch. He hasn't knocked on the door yet.]
