●　Action ; 1333 Benny Road

[He didn’t know what happened. The whole world went crazy and the thoughts in his head kept conflicting and cancelling each other out.

How could he have travelled the world without ever leaving town? Carry millions of people on his shoulders while never being responsible for anything more than a dog? Slowly the cracks began showing through; nightmarish visions sneaking around in the memories of his comfortable life in Mayfield, hundreds of years from a country far away.

Raivis had tried his best to ignore the voices that seemed to materialize out of nowhere and lock himself in his room from the erratic events of outside. There was only so long he could hide away from Mayfield though and this was pretty hard to ignore. The shards of glass tore small incisions in his clothes as he clumsily climbed in through the broken window and tripped on the brick he’d thrown in there moments earlier]

T-Tolys? Koharu? Is anyone there?

[His voice was shaking as hard as his hands, clutched tightly around a kitchen knife. No matter how much his mind fought it his body kept pressing on and the knowledge of what it was trying to do made him feel sick. The least he could do was warn someone, or beg them to make it all stop]

[Lithuania hadn't really been particularly involved in--well, anything, really, since the revelation none of them were who they thought they were. If he was just a copy, well, what was the point? That he could still feel the tug of his people in the back of his mind was now added cruelty; those were never his, they were the real Lithuania's, and what was he?

Of course, the smash of the window at least startled him out of his thoughts, and what was Latvia doing breaking in? For the moment more confused than anything else, Lithuania walked downstairs.]

Latvia? What are you doing?

[balzams]

[Almost as soon as he spoted Lithuania his eyes went wide and his body grew tense, like a deer in the headlights. Taking in a deep breath his body lurched forward, stumbling through Lithuania's house like a dog being pulled along by a leash]

I-I'm sorry! I don't know!

[Never mind the fact that the name 'Latvia' seemed so foreign to him now. In his subconscious he knew it has a deep meaning but on the surface he could barely remember that it was once his name at all. At the bottom of the stairs he slashed out, aiming for Lithuania's ankles]

[vytis]

Eh--What are you doing?

[Not that Lithuania, jerking back up the steps on instinct, thinks he's going to get much out of asking Latvia again, but he can't help but say it in the hopes Latvia's behavior will somehow become reasonable. It doesn't seem like Latvia is in control, though, they way he's apologizing.

Lithuania's second thought is that Koharu and Madoka are upstairs. He stays on the staircase, then.]

[balzams]

I said I don't know!

[He fell pretty hard on the stairs, knocking his cheekbone against the edge. The knife fell from his hand with a clatter and Latvia slowly scrambled back up with a few hiccuping sobs]

I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I can't stop it...

[The hand he wanted to bring up to nurse his slightly swollen cheek inched back towards the knife of it's own volition]

[vytis]

I-it must be Mayfield again...

[Lithuania winces, watching Latvia fall like that--then, of course, he sees Latvia going for the knife and instead decides to grab for Latvia and try to yank him out of reach. He's got to jump back down the stairs a bit first, though.]

[balzams]

No! Don't-!

[Before he could finish his warning the knife was back in his hand. Wildly he slashed at Lithuania's face with a terrified shriek. He didn't want to hurt him, he didn't want to hurt anyone and yet it was out of his power. Latvia had never once been able to stand it]

[vytis]

[Lithuania raises a hand to block his face, at least--his arm gets slashed instead. That Lithuania's hesitating should be pretty obvious; he's normally quicker in a fight than this, but fighting Latvia wasn't exactly something he was keen on doing.

He grabs for Latvia's hand, though, trying to stop him from moving. His other arm is bleeding, but it's easily ignored.]

[balzams]

[Despite the fact his wrist was restrained, he still clutched onto the knife until his knuckles hurt. Thrashing and struggling he began to cry]

I-I'm sorry, Tolys I'm so sorry!

I just want it to stop!

[When his body realised that it was unlikely to get out of Lithuania's grip it tried a different approach. Latvia's arm lashed out to grab Lithuania's and dig his fingers into the fresh cut]

[vytis]

[Lithuania doesn't even have the mental energy right now to correct him--can he really be asking anyone to call him Lithuania when that's not really who he is? Of course, he's quickly knocked out of his momentary distraction by Latvia's insistence in digging into his arm. The pain, as it usually is with Lithuania, is distant, but it's pain enough to snap him back to reality. He can't be zoning out right now, not when Latvia is apparently attempting to murder him against his will.

He pushes Latvia forward, using the hand he's got a grip on, and tries to grab the younger nation's other arm.]

Can you control yourself at all? [It's a genuine question; he's not sure if he's going to have to tie Latvia up or what.]

[balzams]

I-I can't! I don't know what's going on.

[To be accurate, he has no control from the neck down but he's far to overwhelmed and frankly, terrified to be specific about it. With both his arms restrained he resorts to kicking at his shins in attempt to free himself]

[technophiling]

[Now that the truth was out, Estonia wasn't sure how to feel. He mostly can't even focus on it, his brain fighting the memories of two thousand years of hard work and nearly consistent suffering.

In any event, when the urge to kill starts, he knows who he doesn't want to be around, and that's pretty much everybody. But maybe, if he avoids everyone else and just gets to his old friend, gets to Tolys, things will look up. He ignored the fact that he'd brought a handgun with him, as well as the broken window, and instead tried the door. If it's locked, the doorbell should surprise the two Baltics inside, at least.]

[balzams]

[At the sight of Estonia the knot in his stomach grew tighter]

What are you doing here? Get out! Now!

[One of his friends was bad enough and if it weren't for the fact that Lithuania was restraining him he would have lunged at him already. Then again... maybe it would be better. Two of them would be more than enough to overpower him]

[vytis]

[Lithuania's grip tightens on Latvia when the door swings open--apparently for good reason, the way Latvia attempts to lunge for the other nation.]

A-ah, maybe a bad time...?

[It occurs to him, a moment later, to wonder if Estonia is in control of his own actions at the moment. If he isn't, things are going to get a lot more difficult, especially since Estonia might be more paranoid than either of them and therefore more likely to have a gun at any given moment.]
