Benny Road

[vytis]

[Lithuania wasn't going to get involved. Really, Europe--especially the western half, in Lithuania's opinion--was just ridiculous about things at times. But when he heard about England running around trying to claim other nations for the British Empire, well, a country has to protect their territory, right?

That's why he's hammering a sign into the ground on either end of Benny Road stating the following:

Attention nations: this street has been claimed by Lithuania. Attempting to claim it will be considered an attack and will be responded to as such.

Short and to the point. So what if Poland happens to also be living on Benny Road? He can just deal with it.]

[When Poland came across one of the signs he wasn't sure what to make of it really. It was certainly worded like something Lithuania would write, but... it didn't seem very Lithuania-ish.

His other thought was, "Why didn't I think of doing that?" To which he eventually concluded it was because it was kind of a dumb idea and he'd probably end up droned or something worse over it. Plus Benny Road was pretty lame and not worth claiming really.

So in Lithuania's best interest Poland yanked the sign out of the ground and went to go dump it on Lithuania's porch. Also maybe scold Lithuania for being the one with the dumb idea for once.]

Hey Liet! What's the deal with this dumb sign?

[vytis]

[Lithuania bristles and snatches the sign up.]

You can't just remove it! No one will know I've claimed the street.

[He goes to put it back where it was. FOLLOW IF YOU WANT TO KEEP TALKING.]

[likesottlyfab]

Hey!

Wow Liet, way rude. [He follows Lithuania anyways.]

You can't just claim the street you know, you're totally going to piss someone off.

[vytis]

I wasn't going to, but England's been going around claiming other countries in the name of the British Empire. If everyone else is going to I don't want to be the last one.

[Putting the sign back.]

[likesottlyfab]

Since when does anyone care what England does-- wait what do you mean claiming countries?

[Lithuania this better not mean what Poland thinks this means what with you claiming the street he's on and everything.]

[vytis]

He was going to countries' houses claiming them! I don't want him setting one foot on this street.

[Doesn't seem to notice the other implications in what Poland is saying.]

[likesottlyfab]

Well, maybe I want this street.

[vytis]

I've already claimed it.

[As if there can be no argument here.]

[likesottlyfab]

So what? [Digs around in his purse for a marker to mess with Lithuania's sign.]

If anyone's laying claim to anyone on this street It's me, okay.

[Seriously who ever heard of Poland becoming part of the Lithuanian anything? YEAH RIGHT.]

[vytis]

No.

[To anyone who doesn't know Lithuania well that would sound like Lithuania being serious but otherwise his normal calm self. To someone who knows him as well as Poland, though, there's a definite threat in that tone.]

[likesottlyfab]

... [Poland quirks an eyebrow at Lithuania's tone, uncapping the marker anyways to call his bluff.]

[vytis]

[Hand resting on his sword.]

[theboytwin]

[Walking by.]

.....is this a common thing you do?

[vytis]

When certain other nations are in town it is.

[Also when certain candy is going around.]

[theboytwin]

Is there a reason why this is happening now?

[vytis]

England decided to start claiming other countries. At least, that's why I'm doing this. I don't know why he started it.

[theboytwin]

I see.

I'm guessing that isn't normal for him?

[He's really guessing, he has no idea what they're like.]

[vytis]

Not anymore. When he was younger it happened all the time. I think most people from places like Earth would have heard of the British Empire.

[theboytwin]

Yes, it seems a lot stranger when you're talking about people.

I meant for him in this town.

[vytis]

Well, I think he's only arrived again recently, but before today no one was claiming any streets at all.

[theboytwin]

Strange.

....is there any reason to claim the street? It doesn't seem...legal either.

[vytis]

We're countries. Countries should have territory.

[This makes sense to him today.]

[theboytwin]

Yes, I understand that. But you do realize we're currently living in a town where we don't even know if the land is...real.

[vytis]

Yes, but I don't want to be the only one without territory if we're going to be splitting it up all of the sudden. A lot of Europe is here, after all.

[Therefore if you blink you could suddenly be missing every inch of land and ninety percent of your valuables.]
