Fresh off the boat – 1

Hm, what should I do first.

[She pondered to herself, looking around outside the complementary hotel. While she was certainly not quite as lost as she had first been after pulling herself out of the lake this was still a brand new city she had found herself in. Idly she popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth, she was going to have to hold back; a difficult task considering the stress of being ripped into a different reality! Silently Belgium considered her options for a moment longer before spotting another person.

Well may as well start networking!]

Hello over there! [She waved at the other person, calling out and walking towards them, a friendly, almost cat-like grin, on her face.]

Do you mind if I ask you some questions?

Network Post [Video]: un: Chasseur – 2

Good afternoon everyone! Many of you don’t know me, but my name is Belgium and I just arrived not that long ago.

[Her face is smiling and kind, though she looks a tad bit confused with her hair slightly ruffled. The was a rather lazy lion laying next to her as well that let out a rather large yawn.]

I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me how alchemy is supposed to work. I know what it is, but it isn’t quite the alchemy that I’m familiar with back home. [At that she looks a bit sheepish.] Any and all help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Shopping! – 3

[After spending the last few days getting herself settled in, and earning a bit of money off on the side, Belgium decided to upgrade her lifestyle a little. No matter where you went, cities usually most of everything you could ever want or need. And newer places always held even newer experiences and things to try. That said the woman was currently attempting to find items that were more familiar with her, flour, herbs, fruit, and vegetables. While she was quite grateful to the resources given to her for free from her place of residence, she still wanted to make things herself (and in truth she thought that she could do it better).

Currently her dress shoes clicked along the road as she walked along, several overly full bags hung from either of her arms as she walked between shop to shop. She was stronger than she looked, but those said bags of hers looked quite heavy even if she wasn’t breaking a sweat and seemed to only be growing in energy.]

Wildcard

[Feel free to hit me up with whatever else you might be able to come up with!

[ There's really not much to do in the hotel outside the privacy of your own room, but Karma's out in the lounge sitting on one of the couches, a book opened on his lap and a drink balanced precariously on the arm of the couch without so much as a coaster or anything to stabilize it. ]

Hi! Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

[ He doesn't even look up from the book... ]

[resistetmords]

[She laughed a little at the boy's quip, but really doesn't miss a beat in her step. Perturbed she is not!]

If that's how you greet everyone then people might think you are up to something. Though, if you are on the run from trouble, and trying to look cool and calm, I can make this quick.

[Young boys usually like to act cool right? That's why he was sitting there like he was.]

[intrapid]

[ He sure likes to think he's cool! Sitting there with a textbook on his lap and paper cup of hot chocolate by his side. There's even a candy cane in there as a stirring stick. So cool.

The response at least gets him to laugh and finally look up, finger pressed to the pages of his book so he doesn't accidentally lose his place. ]

Shh, don't give me away! If you're gonna ask anyways, what's with the pretense? Just ask.

[resistetmords]

[So cool!

But hey, he's actually looking at her now. He'll be greeted with the face of a smiling woman peering back down at him in return wearing for all the world a military uniform. So stylish!]

Well I would hate to keep a young man from reading his obviously riveting textbook. [A small playful wink was inserted at the end of that sentence.]

I was wondering if you knew of any nearby clothing stores.

[intrapid]

Oh. It's that sort of question.

[ He gives Belgium a bit of a look, because the clothes he's wearing isn't any more stylish, changed out of his uniform and into what he considers comfortable: a button up shirt, with long sleeves underneath to keep out the cold, and plain pants. It's stay-at-home-and-read-all-day clothes. ]

What sort of clothes are you looking for? 'cause, honestly, what you're wearing now's going to serve you much better than most of what you can find around here.

[resistetmords]

Mm, that sort of question.

[Or at least one question she had. There was others, of course. But one thing at time for now though. She really wouldn't have to worry about the basics for living, at least for now.]

Nonsense, clothes can only last for so long. And wearing the same thing every day can become boring.

[intrapid]

[ Maybe she isn't the troll hunting sort, which in that case her clothes are going to last much longer than what Karma projects. He picks up his drink and takes a sip, trying to figure out why it's come to him giving fashion advice... ]

You have enough money to go on a small shopping spree? I'll show you around, for a little compensation.

[souris_keteer]

Excuse me, miss? Do you need any help with those bags?

[ She might have to... look down to see the gentleman offering his aide. ]

[resistetmords]

[Insert a confused blink here.]

Hm?

[She looks around a little before glancing down. It's a mouse? A talking anthropomorphic mouse. She really isn't as shocked as she might normally be. It was kind of hard to be given everything else that she's experienced so far.]

Well now aren't you a gentleman. But I would hate to burden you.

[souris_keteer]

[ NGL he's pretty pleased her reaction is so calm and casual!!! ]

Aw, it's not a burden at all! We should all do our best to help everyone out!

[resistetmords]

[As near as she was concerned there were other things to be shocked about.]

Haha, yes we should, shouldn't we?

[She looked him over for a moment before holding a bag out for him to take.]

I suppose I wouldn't say no to the help. Though can I get you name first sir~?

[souris_keteer]

[ Polite introductions are a must! He does a sweeping bow and takes off his hat. ]

My name is Mickey Mouse, ma'am! It's nice to meet you!

[ With that, he gingerly takes her bag, like a true gentleman! ]

[resistetmords]

[Oh no, that's too cute! She gives him a curtsey in return, smiling amused.]

And I'm Belgium, it's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[whatsamada]

I’m sorry, I must have misheard you but did you say Belgium?

[No really, did he hear that correctly?]

[resistetmords]

Yes, that is correct. My name is, indeed, Belgium.

[whatsamada]

[That’s interesting but...]

Any reason why your parents named you after the country?

[Unless her parents just loved it that much.]

[resistetmords]

Ah, no I am Belgium.

[She laughs, knowing that... probably sounds super strange, but what else could she say?]

Think of me like... a spirit I guess.

[whatsamada]

[Ken really shouldn’t be surprised by this. There are various people from other worlds here. Why would having a spirit as a country be so shocking?]

I see. That’s a little hard to believe as I didn’t know countries can be spirits.

[Hear the tone in his voice? He wasn’t too sure as he didn’t know if he should believe her.]

[resistetmords]

[Her own tone takes on one of a gentle big sister telling a younger brother "that's that".]

Well now you know. As hard as that might be to believe. I am the country of Belgium.

[Though she does have to wonder how spirits work in other worlds a little.]

And who might you be?

network; un: ruffestrabbit

[zunge]

Another country, I see...

[He has nothing to say about alchemy. But at least she's got one person she doesn't need to explain personified countries to.]

[resistetmords]

Another country? What do you mean?

[She treads a little lightly here, as near as she was concerned she was the only one here.]

[zunge]

I've met a few of you in a different place from this.

[resistetmords]

Oh? And who might those have been, where did you meet them?

[zunge]

Italy, Germany, France, and Vietnam.

Camelot isn't the only place people have gotten sucked into from their original worlds. It was another place like that.

Before you ask, I don't know if there are other countries here.

[resistetmords]

Somehow I'm not all too surprised. They did say that they took people from many different worlds after all.

[She probably would have known if any of the other nations had arrived by now. France and Italy especially. Of course with that in mind there was no real telling if it was the nations that she knew from her own home.]

Honestly it's enough to give a girl a headache.
