 A. Action - 1332 Benny Road

[Poland didn't care much for nightmares, especially of the dream within a dream variety. One moment he was happily laying in the ryefield of his dreams, only to shift to a nightmarish one where he woke up in Mayfield.

Although he had to admit waking up in Mayfield again was one of the more vivid dreams he'd had in a while. The out of date pajamas he'd woken up in felt itchy to him. The set up of the master bedroom was exactly as he remembered. Even his assigned drone wife was there, chipper and unnerving as ever. If it weren't so terrible, he'd commend his rem state for it's attention to detail.

The problem with nightmares though, was that you couldn't do anything about them until they ran their course. Trying to force yourself awake didn't really work. No matter how much arm pinching or cheek slapping  or shouting "wake up" repeatedly at your reflection in the bathroom mirror one tried. All of which Poland tried regardless, to no avail.

Waiting to wake up, Poland got up and riffled through his closet. At least this nightmare was kind enough to remember the clothing he'd gotten back from home the last time he'd been here so he didn't have to wait while looking like a dork.]


B. Action - 1333 Benny Road

[Good morning neighbors! You have a vistor from next door of the equestrian variety, poking his head through the kitchen window and trying to snatch fruit off your counter.

You weren't going to eat all those apples yourselves. Mr. Pony is just making sure they don't go wasted. You can thank him when you wake up.]


C. Action - Around Town

[Reacquainting himself with Mayfield was not how Poland anticipated spending his day. It didn't take long to recognize everything and relearn his way around. Compared to finding his way around some of his larger cities it was relatively simple to remember.

His cities were definitely better though. There really wasn't much to like about Mayfield in his opinion. Hence why he decided to reacquaint himself while riding Mr. Pony around. Might as well make something about it enjoyable! Nothing brightens up stuff like including ponies after all.

Don't mind the less than bubbly blonde taking up half the side walk riding around on his pony. Or do mind. Up to you.]

[He pulls two glasses out of a cabinet and sets them down on the table.] Yeah, it's the stuff you gave me after we got back from the carnival.

Want some? [Liqueur and bacon is the breakfast of champions.]

[balzams]

What carnival?

But yeah, I'd really like some!

[Maybe living with Poland wouldn't be too bad]

[notyetlost]

There was a carnival a few months ago, back when we both were here. At first it was... okayish by like Mayfield's standards, but then the funhouse opened up. You and Liet and Estonia and Koharu and Hungary and me all got stuck inside for a week.

It was lame. And you broke your leg and almost got totally devoured by some weird monster thing with five billion pairs of eyes and almost died and... [and Poland actually did die. Which is something he'd really rather not remember.] yeah it was... yeah. Anyways. It's not important really.

[Poland pours some out for both of them.]

[balzams]

[When Poland started describing that, Latvia became extremely pensive. That was... it was familiar and he wasn't sure but he felt like he could just about make out memories. They were all messed up and fuzzy like a low quality VHS tape]

I think I remember you and Lithuania, you were dragging me away from somewhere...

...

I feel like I should apologize to Estonia for something. I worried him a lot again.

Oh, but who's Koharu?

[notyetlost]

Yeah. We totally can't take you anywhere without you getting eaten by something, be it sheep or weird billion eyed monsters or whatever.

You probably got yourself into trouble under Estonia's watch too.

But, Koharu's Liet's super cute wife!

[balzams]

I though Ukraine was Lithuania's wife.

[He didn't think about it, it just slipped out. Looking back it made no sense to him either]

But you're joking about the monster, right? You always exaggerate things.

[notyetlost]

Oh my god what. No way! Liet and Ukraine, have like absolutely no chemistry. I'd never let that happen. [As if he has veto power in their love lives.]

Koharu was living with Ukraine here for a while. But that was like, before she "officially" started dating Liet. Then Mayfield did something nice for once and moved her to be the wife lady in his house. You know like you were just randomly moved to my house. So Koharu and Liet are together next door. And unless someone else moved in while I was away, Ukraine lives alone now. That's okay though because she's dating Estonia who totally better being treating her right. I still don't know how she puts up with his weird pets though.

And no, I'm totally not joking. I totally had to try cutting off it's arms with a sword and junk to get you out of it's super wicked deadly grip, and even then it still broke your leg so Liet had to carry you around like a potato sack when we finally got away.

That whole thing was all Liet's fault by the way.

[balzams]

O-of course...

[The sudden information dump leaves him a bit stunned but at least things are starting to sort themselves out in his head. Yes, Ukraine was dating someone, not married and Lithuania was together with a woman with blonde hair. He couldn't picture the face but that's why he'd gotten them mixed up. Any feelings of romantic despair refused to manifest has he tried to wrap his head around almost getting torn in half by some kind of monster. Was that really how it happened?]

Are you sure it was my leg...?

[notyetlost]

Yeah, I remember you were on crutches and everything.

[balzams]

I feel like it was something else...

[He tried musing on it for a while but nothing else came to mind. Normally he wouldn't trust Poland's stories but he seemed to be giving him more information than anyone else]

[notyetlost]

I totally wouldn't put it past you to injure yourself more than once, Łotwa~

[balzams]

[He couldn't really argue with him on that so he just looks away and says nothing. The crick in his neck still hadn't completely gone away but it was getting better]

I just really hope I can remember soon... I hate not knowing what everyone's talking about, especially when they talk about me.

[notyetlost]

You'll remember. [He'll top off Latvia's glass with some more liqueur and finishes his own.]

Be optimistic for once! [Poland reaches over to ruffle Latvia's hair and then hops over to the counter to put together some breakfast for Mr. Pony.]

[balzams]

[With a grumble Latvia downs his liqueur. If he was going to go about remembering things then he couldn't just sit around here all day. Maybe another walk around town would help him find something useful. The chair squeaks slightly on the floor as he gets up]

I'm going out. If I don't come back I've found somewhere else to live.

[notyetlost]

Mmm... yeah okay. I don't care, just don't come back droned. You're bratty enough as is, I don't need you pestering me to play a game of catch or whatever. [Poland waves Latvia off, not bothering to turn from the counter.]
