Evelin
is
out and about. She might of taken a bit of a long walk though... Oh well, maybe she'll see someone she may know along the way.
Finland
has
been walking around too, thinking of hitting a bar after a nice sauna >w<
would think that spending a day like that would be nice. She puases in walking noticing the fimilar looking male.
notices her too, a little shocked, "E-Eesti?"
... takes a moment to process that. "Soome?" It's only a moment more before she attacks him with a hug. She probably figures he knows of the
counterparts by now...
squeaks a little, he's still getting used to the counterparts things. "A-Ahh hello, female.. Eesti, right?"
nods. "Yep~" She releases him out of her grasp and takes a good look at him. "You're defintly Aura's counterpart." He's even shorter than_
her... even if by two centimeters. "It's very nice to meet you."
smiles too, as weird as that is. "It's nice to meet you too. You look a lot like Eduard, if he was a girl. Aura, that's her name?" He had_
yet to formally meet his counterpart.
"I guess I have to look somewhat similar to him is people can just guess, and jah, that's her name." She pauses a moment. "Oh, my name is_
Evelin."
"Evelin, it's a pleasure, even though I'm still getting used to all this." He tilts his head as he looks around. "Where are you headed?"
"It's alright. It takes a bit to adjust I guess." She wouldn't know though. She was more enjoying this than questioning it. "I've been just_
walking around. I didn't have anywhere in mind."
can't really go to the sauna with her, that would be a little weird. "I was just heading to the bar for a few drinks. Would you like to join
me?"
wouldn't think it's weird, but that's just her. "Of course, I would."
smiles. "I know a great bar just up the road. Want to head there? Unless you know a better place?"
nods. "Sure, that sounds good."
leads the way then! "So how re you and Eduard getting along?"
walks next to him. "Ah well, we haven't really met yet."
blinks. "Really? He's going to be really surprised. He's not all that good with girls actually. Take it easy on him."
takes her turn to blink at him. "Seriously? I would have thought-" She pauses. "No, I guess I understand that. I'll be easy on him then."
laughs. "He interacts with a computer more than others these days. It's so cute to see him busily working."
Evelin
thinks
about it and sighs. "Yeah, I guess we do. A computer is much easier to work with than a person."
nods. "I can see how that can be. Sometimes I don't know what to say to Sweden since he's so quiet."
nods. "Silence isn't that bad as long as a comfortable one. He's pretty nice though. It's somewhat easier to talk to him and then other_
people." Like Russia, she barely can say anything to her. Unless she was in one of her moods.
smiles. "Yea, Sweden is very nice. I've known him for such a long time. Eduard as well. Oh here's the bar!" He opens the door for her, all
smiles. "Grab a good seat."
thanks him. "It's the same back home." She takes a table for two close to windows. She didn't want to be too close to the counter. It was _
more likely she would flirt with someone if at a counter.
would probably get drunk at the counter. "So what will you be having?"
Evelin
thinks
about it. "I'm not sure."
Finland
will
go with beer since he can handle a lot of that and be fine "Mmm they have a lot of good beers."
"I guess I'll get one of them then." Getting her usual high proof drinks didn't seem to be the best for now.
orders some strong beers for both of them. "These are really delicious."
wouldn't disagree if he said it. "Well, I'll see how good it is then."
grins when the beers are delivered. "They're pretty good!" He sips, sighing in bliss.
takes a sip of the drink. "It does taste rather nice. It's been a while since I had beer though."
takes a rather long sip. "Me too, you have to stay very sober to do paperwork after all."
nods. "I suppose that is true."
sighs. "But I can't drink too much tonight, I think Sweden worries I'll get drunk, go in the woods and be attacked by a bear."
raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment on that.
Finland
has
yet to do that though so no one should be worried! "Ahh this beer is delicious~"
Evelin
thinks
'has yet' isn't quite the same 'will never.' She nods slightly.
smiles at her. "What do you think? Finnish beer is pretty good."
"It's preety good even if I don't know too many other beers to really compare it to."
tilts his head. "Oh, what do you usually drink?"
"I'm more for spirit varities like vodka and such. This is probably the second time I've drank beer in recent memory."
Finland
feels
a little bad for ordering it then. "You can order what you want!"
shakes her head. "No, I usually let people pick for me. I like to see their tastes instead."
frowns. "Sorry, I usually just drink beer, my taste doesn't vary much."
Evelin
is
not one to like frowns unless it's in embarrassment from teasing. "It's alright. I really don't mind. It is very good."
perks up immediately, finishing his beer. "It's one of my favourites!"
smiles and almost laughs and notes the empty drink. "Are you going to get more?"
looks down, kind of shocked that it was all gone already. "I think I should slow down."
"Maybe, it depends on how much you want."
shakes his head. "If I start at this pace I won't stop till I'm passed out somewhere."
"Than slow down then." Not that she probably would try stopping him sometime or another... Aura has similar problems.
just likes the taste. "Oh when I was younger I would just drink and drink and get into fi- fun games! I would play some fun games."
Evelin
thinks
that taste may be the problem. "Fi-what? 'Fun' has no i sound in it." Slip ups don't get past her much.
Finland
thinks
quickly. "Fine weather. I drink and wake up to some fine weather."
Evelin
has
logic. "'Get into fine weather'?"
nods, blushing and laughing. "Yes! Exactly that."
stares at him for a moment. "What about the word 'fights'? That makes more sense then 'fine weather.'"
gasps. "I would never fight. I'm a pacifist."
"It still works way better than 'fine weather.'" Logic says it works better. "Just tell me then what it is."
looks away, turning red. "Fine weather."
nods. "Yeah, that's what you want me to think. Seriously, you can tell me."
blushes brightly, squirming uncomfortably. "I-I used to be a bit of a scrapper.."
nods taking another sip of her drink. She doesn't seemed to phased by that much.
Finland
is
so embarrassed by it! "Don't tell anyone!"
doesn't think it's anything to be embarrassed about. "I won't. You aren't comfortable with it being known, so I will not tell."
sighs in relief. "Thank you, I'm not a fan of my younger self. Oh, what kind of drink would you like next?"
can relate to that. Oh her pirating days... "Um, Vana Tallinn." She hadn't had any since... she met maleIceland the second time.
orders two of those when the waitress comes by. "What is it?"
"It's a liqueur. It has vanilla and cinnamon and such. It's rather nice."
smiles. "Sounds like Christmas!"
laughs a bit. "Yes, it kind of does."
Finland
is
pretty excited when they arrive. "Do I down it all like a shot or do I sip it?"
takes a sip. "Sipping it is better." For anyone. That's why it's in a small amount... just in cause people tried to drink it all at once.
takes a sip and grins. "This is delicious!"
smiles back. "Yep, it's one of my favorite liqueurs."
sips a bit more. "Where did you learn of this?"
shrugs. "Some guy or another. I try a lot of things by letting others suggest."
raises a brow. "Some guy huh?"
nods. "Yeah."
hums. "You seem a bit more social than your counterpart."
shrugs. "I wouldn't know. I guess I go out often."
Finland
is
a bit shocked. "You two are very different."
looks at him. "Maybe we just take things in different ways."
shakes his head. "Eduard doesn't go out with a lot of girls."
" I meant 'go out' as in leave the house. I don't really go out with guys.
"
stares. "Really?"
nods. "Yeah, I'm not entirely comfortable with that."
finishes his drink. "Then you're more like Eduard than I thought."
nods again. Though she does wonder... "Does he flirt?"
hums in thought. "I think online he has.."
... definitely has tried that a few times. She prefers outside of computer flirting. "Then we are alike in that way."
smiles. "You're just as cute as him, I can'twait for you two to meet!"
smiles back and blushes slightly. "Yeah, I hope we get along."
gets excited. "I want to be there for that."
nods. "Then Aura should be there too." Actually that sounds nice~
nods. "I better meet her first then."
agrees. "You should. She's somewhat like you, so I'm sure you two will get along."
Finland
will
probably run into her eventually. "Has she met Sweden?"
Evelin
thinks
. "I'm not really sure. She probably has, but I haven't asked her."
frowns, he feels uneasy by that. "Well if she's my counterpart I hope she's nice."
smiles. "There's nothing to worry about. She is really nice. She'll probably be happy to meet you."
smiles back. "I'm still getting used to all this stuff."
nods. "It will take awhile, but you'll get the main things soon enough. I'm still getting used to where things are placed in the house."
tilts his head. "Huh?"
"My counterpart's house. I've been living there since I got here. We place things in the house differently even if it is the same house."
tilts his head to the other side, more confused.
"What don't you understand?"
blinks. "You have the same house, where?"
"In my world?"
Evelin
has
no idea what he's confused about still.
stares. "Your world..?"
"Yes. It's a world almost exactly the same as here." Didn't someone tell him that?
tilts his head even farther. He's lost.
tries to think of how to explain it. "Think of those movies where there is an alternate universe. Think of one where there is a world_
where all the nations you know are the opposite gender. That's my world."
staresss. "Am I drunk?"
... thinks. "You might be?" Vana Tallinn was 40% to 50% alcohol.
orders another beer. "So you're from an alternate world? Are you an alien?"
Evelin
asks
for another glass of what she already had. "In some ways, I guess. That would make you an alien to me then if you use it that way."
raises a brow. "So how did you get here?"
shrugs. "I don't know. I just came here. For all I know I could have stepped into some random wormhole or rip in time and came here a split_
second later. Due to the fact the worlds are similar, and I might have blinked at the right moment. I never noticed the change in my_
surroundings."
Finland
is
still finding it hard to believe. "Are you trying to go back?"
probably needs to stop watching science fiction movies... "It's hard for me to find my way back if I have no idea how I got here in the_
first place. For now all I can do is hope those I know are safe."
sips his beer. "Do you want to go back?"
nods. "Yes in some ways. I worried about what's going on there; however, it's been interesting to meet the counterparts. I'm also not sure_
if all the people I know are even here, and if I go back, I may be leaving them behind unknowingly, and that is not good."
nods in understanding. "If I get sent to a new world I wouldn't do anything until I knew Sweden and Hanatamago were fine."
smiles a bit at that. "Yeah, that's what I've been kind of trying to do. I know Aura's okay, but I've yet to find anything about Latvia or_
Lithuania. I'm kind of hoping they are just back at my world at least and not lost here. I know Lithuania can take care for herself_
though." Latvia... she was a little more worried about.
nods. "The Latvia here makes me extremely worried too."
frowns. "Yeah, I got that from meeting him. Those two seem to be very a like in that manner."
gasps. "Really? A girl Latvia.. so cute.."
smiles. "She is just as adorable as the Latvia here~"
pictures the two of them together.. too cute! "Was she bullied too?"
nods and won't say much about that, but yes, the two together would be so cute~
frowns. "Russia..?"
... nods again. "Like I said you world and mine are very similar. The past is probably similar too."
frowns deeper. "Girl Russia too?"
"Yes, there we have Miss Russia instead."
Finland
wonders
if she got here somehow.
Evelin
hopes
not but kind of thinks there maybe. She tries to turn the conversation around. "It's been rather nice since I got here."
smiles. "Isn't it, I'm glad the bad weather is gone! The snow will melt soon!"
smiles. "Yes, that's good. The snow is nice, but I rather like warmer weather."
Finland
thinks
of all the things he's going to do. "I can't wait to go camping or swimming."
nods. "Yes, and the some competitions are coming up." Wife carrying, mud volleyball, and such~
Finland
is
so excited for wife carrying! "Sorry I'm going to wipe the floor with you."
laughs a bit at that. "Yeah right, I've won plenty more times. I'll beat you this year."
snorts. "Not happening, I'm starting my own streak."
"You've only won twice in a row. That's nothing compared to what how I've done."
tilts his chin, all proud. "Then this year, and the next, and the next..."
waves her hand. "You just got two lucky chances. This year will be different."
smirks. "Not happening."
"Just you wait and see. I'm going to win."
laughs. "I'm on top of my game, been training for years!"
"I've been training too you know."
raises a brow. "With who?"
"Do I have to say who?"
nods.
drinks a bit. "Someone."
sips his beer. "Who?"
Evelin
is
going to remain vague. "who would you think?"
hums in thought. "My counterpart?"
nods a bit. "Sometimes. You know until actual date of the competitions starts coming around. Want to leave a bit of surprise of who may win,
you know."
pouts. "But who else do you train with! Latvia is way too small."
smiles. "I have my ways."
whines. "You're just as mean as Eduard to me."
chuckles a little. "I'm not being mean. I'm being vague."
nods. "Just like Eduard. You two are the king and queen of vague."
just smiles wider and takes another sip of her drink.
finishes his beer. "Oh no.. Sweden isn't going to like me drinking this much. I'll have to order water."
Evelin
thinks
of her drinks she has had. "I guess I should stop to then." Even though she only had about a half the amount she drunk in a regular bar_
night.
just doesn't want to worry anyone. He orders a round of waters for them. "Oh don't stop on my account."
shakes her head. "Ei, I really should drink less."
pats his stomach. "I'm starting to put on a few pounds from it."
looks at her own stomach. "I can't tell if that's doing the same to me... but I know I should drink less at least."
laughs. "Before someone thinks we're alcoholics!"
nods. "Yes, before that happens."
blinks. "Wait, does that mean we are?"
nods. "I don't know about you, but I at least qualify for one of the symptoms of it at some point of time or another."
looks away. "Me too..."
tries to say something at least a bit lighter but can't think of anything. She'll just try drinking the water instead.
sips his water too. "Oh Evelin, are you going to be Eduard's partner for the wife carrying if you can't go home?"
Evelin
thinks
about it. "If he agrees to it... and then you and Aura could be partners for it too."
nods. "I guess she'll have to, especially for the one race where you can only have one representative per country."
"Yeah, I'm sure none of us want to just sit and watch."
laughs. "I never sit and watch. Especially when I win."
smiles. "Same here, and I'm sure that Aura and Eduard would agree as well."
grins. "So did Aura win the past two years like I did?"
smiles turns neutral. "Yeah, but I'm going to win this year for sure."
gasps. "So everything is exactly the same?"
nods. "Basically, you are still shorter than I am."
sighs. "I've tried everything."
smiles. "Just stay short. You're cuter that way."
blushes a little. "But I don't want to be cute!"
giggles. "But you are cute."
forces himself not to pout. "Does everyone call Aura cute?"
hums a bit. "I know at least I do since she is cute too."
leans in so he's quiet. "What is girl Sweden like?"
"Astrid? She's really nice."
motions for her to continue. "And..?"
"Well, she's a lot like your Sweden here except she has long hair."
laughs. "Did she used to call Aura her 'wife?'"
nods a bit taking another drink.
laughs harder. "Oh, nothing changes. But at least Aura is a girl so it works."
nods again. "Doesn't mean she still didn't like it."
gets a little pink. "Oh, how are they?"
notices the blush questioning it in her mind. "They are both doing well."
frowns. "I really need to meet Aura soon..
"
"Well, I'm sure she's somewhere, but if you don't mind me asking, why do you need to meet her soon?"
just needs too. "In case people mistake us and she does something weird!"
"I don't think anyone would mistake the two of you unless they think one of you got a sex change. What is something 'weird' you are worring_
about?"
shrugs. "Like a fight, or says something I wouldn't or does something I wouldn't."
Evelin
thinks
. "I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about her getting into fights. And like I said, I think people will understand you and Aura_
aren't the same person."
frowns. "If she's cute like me and wearing baggy clothes they might!"
shakes her head. "You are both similar, but you two are still different. I'm sure no one will confuse you two."
*...you two for each other."
sighs in relief. "That's good. But it still would be a good idea to meet her soon."
nods. "I could probably find her fast if you want me to."
nods. "Send her my way then! I would feel so much better meeting her." He finishes his water, smiling. "Does everyone have a counterpart?"
nods back. "As far as I know, yes."
gets her phone out and types out a quick message about how Finland wanted to meet her and sends it to Aura. Hopefully, Aura had her phone on
her.
leans forward. "Who's counterpart is completely different?"
tilts her head. "Well, I haven't met too many counterparts so far... but so far it's hard to tell whose the most different."
nods. "But from who you met!"
Evelin
thinks
for a while on that one. "France, I guess."
stares in disbelief. "What is she like?"
Evelin
thinks
more. "Much like your France. I was kind of surprised he didn't do the weird things my France does sometimes."
blinks. "Wait, what?"
doesn't hear him much. "Well, I guess they are still the same, but he was such a gentlemen... But I've only met him once, so I'm not sure_
what my opinion means."
tilts his head. "So she flirts just as much?"
nods. "Yep."
Finland
is
shocked. "Wow, I thought she would be a lady!"
"She's that too. A flirting lady."
"Hmm, I really just want to travel around and see all these counterparts, maybe welcome them!"
just nods. "You could do that." She's now a little distracted due to the tangents in her mind though.
tries to make the glass make a noise. "What's a matter?"
blinks at the noise. "What?" She looks at him. "Oh, sorry about that."
hums. "What are you thinking of?"
waves her hand a bit as a distraction from her face turning a bit red. "It's nothing."
grins. "You're blushing~"
frowns. "I'm not."
nods. "You were!!"
still is blushing and is more red since it's being pointed out. "I was not."
coos. "You are~"
pouts. "I'm not."
Finland
thinks
she's so cute and pokes her cheek. "You are!"
tries to move back a little. "I am not!"
sighs. "Fine, don't tell me~"
just kind of frowns feeling a bit bad. She didn't want to tell him much though. "I'm sorry. My mind was just somewhere else, okay?"
smiles. "Maybe I should get going, to leave you with your thoughts."
frowns more. "If that is your reasoning to leave, it's not good. I'm not thinking of the lady anymore, so it shouldn't be a reason for you_
to leave. Though it might be good to leave the bar at least."
tilts his head. "What lady?"
looks down feeling that her face flared once again. “Just a lady.”
sighs. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I just wanted to see if I could help."
shakes her head. “It's not something you can help with. I was just thinking back a bit at something pleasant.” She looks up at him and_
smiles. “Thank you for wanting to help though.”
smiles back, putting some bills on the table. "It's on me tonight. Thank you for the company."
nods making a mental note to pay next time they go to a bar. “Thank you for the company as well. It's been nice to meet my best friend's_
counterpart.”
grins. "Me too! We should do this more often."
nods again. "We should. All four of us if we can find the time."
Finland
thinks
that would be a great idea! "I'll walk you home, a lady shouldn't walk by herself at night."
Evelin
thinks
it would be too. "That would be nice if you don't mind."
shakes his head. "It's no problem at all. Just lead the way."
smiles. "Alright then." She gets up from her seat pausing for him to come with her.
falls into step with her. "How far are you from here?"
Evelin
thinks
. "A bit away. Not too far at least."
smiles. "Don't worry, I'll protect you!"
laughs a bit. "Then I'm sure to get home alright."
keeps an eye out just in case. "So you're home by yourself?"
isn't as worried about walking at night. She does it almost every week. "No, my pets are with me as well."
smiles. "What kind of pets? But make sure you lock your door!"
"I will lock my door. As for my pets... well... I'm not quite sure what they are but..." She places her hands in front of her in about the_
size of one (just a bit over a foot). "They are this big and round. They are almost a white color, and they are soft... most of them at_
least."
blinks. "A cat?"
shakes her head. "No, more like moving round pillows."
stares. "Are they from your world?"
"I have no clue if they are... They could be aliens for I'll I know... But they are really cute~"
isn't too sure he wants to see them. "They're.. safe?"
"Yep, they are rather friendly for the most part. After having the first one for a while, I couldn't help but get more of them."
laughs. "I feel that way about salmiakki, can't just have one piece!"
nods. "I feel like I'll have my house overflowing with them before too long though."
laughs. "Don't get too carried away, you'll have to take care of them all. That's gotta be pricey."
nods again. "I'll try not to."
Finland
is
curious about them. "What do they eat, dog food?"
"They eat lettuce mainly. They have it differently though... And two of them love ice cream."
stares. "Should animals eat ice cream."
shrugs. "They don't seem to be affected by it. They seem to be able to eat what most people can."
Finland
thinks
this is really weird. "Have you taken them to a vet to figure out what they are?"
nods. "Yeah, he didn't know either."
Finland
wonders
where these things came from. "Well as long as they don't turn on you sounds like a fun pet."
Evelin
is
sure even aliens have no idea. "As long as they don't surprise me, they are rather great pets."
sighs. "Why couldn't yopu havde something normal like a cat.."
*you have
"A cat might be nice too... but I'm more curious of my pets. I can even talk to them, and they can talk back. I don't think a cat can do_
that yet."
gets wide eyed. "They talk?!"
"Yes. Sometimes a bit weirdly, but yes."
Finland
has
to see one of these one day! "Sometime will you let me meet them?"
"Of course. I'm sure they'll like meeting you."
Finland
wants
to take pictures. Maybe they're mythological creatures. "Then maybe we can have a drink together and hit the sauna, wait no, not that."
Evelin
is
sure they aren't that... even if that would be cool though. "Why not go to a sauna?"
gets a little pink. "You're a girl."
shrugs. "So?"
turns red. "I go in the sauna naked so I can't go in with you!"
Evelin
thinks
it's funny that he's embarrassed. "I really don't see what's wrong with it."
stays calm. "Naked. I can't go in the sauna naked with you. People will get the wrong idea."
"Wear a towel around your waist then if you are bothered by it."
shakes his head. "But I'm still naked!"
shrugs. "If we aren't going to do anything but enjoy time in the sauna, why should what other people may think prohibit that?"
shrugs. "I've never been naked in front of a girl.."
"There is a first time for everything."
blushes. "Y-Yea I guess so.."
smiles. "Plus it's only me. I really don't care if someone is naked or not."
does, he's so innocent. "Al-alright, so next time, sauna and drinks."
Evelin
is
pretty shameless when it comes to the human body. Not that she isn't innocent on different levels. "That sounds good."
smiles. "Just call me up, do you have my number?"
shakes her head. "I don't think so." She pulls out her phone and starts typing fast before stopping. "I never did get your name."
laughs. "Tino, it's Tino. Here, I'll put in my number."
types that in before handing him her cell... which may be a bit on the nice end. She likes multipurpose phones... "Tino... that's a nice_
name."
smiles. "I like it too." He puts his number in and hands it back. "Here you are."
slips the phone back in her pocket. "Thanks."
points ahead. "Just up here?"
nods. "Yep, unless the house moved."
shrugs. "We may have passed it?"
"I probably would have notice if we had."
laughs. "I wouldn't have after a few drinks."
smiles. "I wouldn't notice if I was drunk, but I'm no where close to that." The house comes into view just a block away from them now.
smiles back, "When I'm drunk I have no idea what I'm doing."
nods. "I'm somewhat the same... though I usually don't remember anything while I'm drunk."
laughs loudly. "The places I wake up at! It's always an adventure."
laughs a bit. "Well, I still end up in the same place I got drunk at. Where do you end up?"
shrugs. "Forest, alley, strange home, bush."
laughs a bit more. "It definitely must be an adventure then."
nods. "Getting home is an adventure too!"
"I would suppose it is." She took out her key as they were only a few feet away from the front door.
Finland
will
make sure she's inside and locked up before he leaves. "Just give me a ring whenever."
nods. "I will." She opens the door... to be attacked at the feet by a hyper white pet with what seemed to be glasses markings.
stares at it. "What.. is that..?"
just picks the mochi up. "One of my pets."
staressss. "What,,"
just looks at him. "It's one of my repeats." As if it would help, her pet goes "It's okay! I'm American!"
jumps back. "What!?"
looks down at her pet and then back to Tino. "He does that."
keeps stepping back, this is a little too much for him. "It's.. cute?"
notices him retreating a bit. "Are you alright?"
just stares at it. "I'm a little weirded out by it truthfully."
"Oh, sorry, they take time to get used to, but they are nice." Which is helped by the jumping blob in her arms. "Well, this one is a bit_
hyper."
nods, taking her word for it. "I better get going, Hana needs to go out. You alright from here."
*
?
nods back. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll see you later then?"
smiles. "For sure, I can't wait!"
grins. "Me neither."
waves to her as he walks away. "Bye byE!"
waves back. "Bye~" She closes the door before turning around looking at her pet. "Why must you surprise people?"
