A: between 1332 and 1333 Benny Road

[After the last mess Mayfield had subjected them all to, Estonia found himself in the possession of one very old box of books, in more than a few languages. He's read them all before, of course, and they're some of his favourites, even one particularly worn Russian one he doesn't recommend to anyone, just because it's in Russian. After they arrive in Mayfield, he reads them all again, then decides to do the nice thing and share them around.

This is why he's headed over to Benny Road with an armful of books in Lithuanian and Polish. He slides some of them, with no note, into the mailbox of house 1332. He's halfway to the mailbox of 1333 when he realizes he got the address wrong, and doubles back. Somewhere between trying to switch out the stack of books and get the appropriate ones in the right nation's mailbox, most of the books wind up on the lawn, with one very frustrated Estonia trying not to make a scene.

It's probably not going so well.]

B: 5270 Cunningham Lane

[Hi, Ukraine. Estonia comes bearing a few books for you, as well as some pre-made food and cuddles. Enjoy.]

C: phone

[Estonia clears his throat awkwardly before starting, and a few times more during pauses while he presents his question.]

Not that it's... um, of any great importance, but I was wondering if there would be anybody here interested in a choir of any sort. Just for curiosity's sake. [Ahem.] I don't really have anywhere with a piano to suggest meeting, but I'm sure something could be worked out, if... people were interested? If not, that's fine, too.

Count me in! I love to sing.

[Of course she'll be the star.]

[technophiling]

Oh, excellent. It's good to know we have a few voices potentially interested...

[virtualdiva]

Mm, we can use the music room. There's a lot of instruments there.

[technophiling]

So I can count you in, once I get something organized?

Phone

[balzams]

That sounds... nice. When they're not torturing out there isn't much to do in this place...

[Latvia hopes this doesn't start a trend of one of them dying and then not talking to each other for a profound amount of time]

How have you been?

[technophiling]

Ah, yeah... And I've been alright, mostly. Enjoying not having much to do besides work. How about you?

[balzams]

To be honest it's been a little boring lately. The library never has any good books so it's not like I can pass the time reading or anything.

Oh! But you'll never guess what they sent me in the mail after we came back from that weird carnival place. I was going to share some with you the day I got it but you were kind of ... off.

[Lithuania saw Estonia out his window before he stepped outside--it had seemed like Estonia was having trouble with something involving Poland's mailbox. By the time he's on the porch, however, it seems like Estonia's losing a fight with a book cart, or something like that.]

Er... Estija?

[technophiling]

[Estonia doesn't even turn around at first, just swears in Estonian under his breath and gives up, dropping all the books onto the grass. Then he turns to Lithuania, looking terribly frustrated, but forcing a smile anyway.]

Hi, Leedu.

is it okay. if I just. leech in here.

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland is just hanging out the front window of his house. It's 1332 by the way Estonia.] Awww. Why'd you interrupt Liet, it was really funny to watch him use his noodle arms to hold all those books.

If you're looking for a decent area to practice, I suggest the music room at the elementary school. The piano isn't of excellent quality, but it's decent and there's ample space. Breaking in is fairly easy, as well. [and here he was almost starting to sound like a good samaritan...]

[technophiling]

Space and a piano is really all I need. Any tips for this breaking in?

[encored]

The school is an excellent choice for you, then.

As far as breaking in goes, all damage is reversed at the end of the day, so feel free to be as messy as you wish. A crowbar or something equally heavy to the windows often does the trick.

[She opens the door and smiles when she see's it's him.]

Estonia! Hello.

[technophiling]

Hi, Ukraine. [He holds his stack of food containers and books off to one side as he leans in to sneak a kiss in greeting.]

Would you care for some company?

[motheringnation]

I'd love some.

[Aw, he get's a kiss back before she moves back into the house.]

Come in!

[kinship]

There's room in the school to hold a choir practise, as well as several instruments that could be used. There'd be nobody there to interrupt now, especially now it's the summer vacation.

[technophiling]

Can we actually get in over the summer? That's what I was thinking about initially, but I didn't think we could. And I'd rather not be droned for breaking and entering.

[kinship]

I think so, the cleaners are still allowed to go in and out, so I don't think we'd be stopped.

[roadroller]

I didn't know you liked singing, Estonia! ♪

[how did this never come up...]

[technophiling]

Oh, well... It's only in choirs, really. I don't do it on my own, or anything like that. But I could certainly use a voice like yours, if I can get a choir started up.

[roadroller]

Sure, sure, it sounds like fun. ♪

[She's more of a soloist or duet-ist, but hey. There can't very well be singing going on without her.]

I have a keyboard too, you know~ It's not exactly a piano but it'd work in a pinch. ♪

[pasodoble]

Ah, there's a piano at the elementary school. ( He remembers hearing Cain play there. ) Is anyone interested yet?

[technophiling]

A couple of people, yes. And it's good to know that the school music rooms seem to be popular options. Thanks, Spain.

[pasodoble]

Ah, that's good! Do you need anyone to play piano?
