"That's a good boy," he scruffed the top of his medicated head, "Now come on all of you, sit down and face back to back, we will vote tomorrow. Today, we try to improve and mend our relationships," he glanced over to Maeve and then to the others in the classroom. Someone coughed in Min-jun's general direction with the word "Suck up," followed by a low chuckling of the class.

Sadness flown over Alexi like a plane, he just let that dumb teacher scrub his hair like he was 5 years old, he wouldn't have done that if He never tooken any pills he never wanted to take his pills, but it would be unfair Not too. fracking psychiatrists, His face frowning but not very much, his pills were giving too him to Remove his feelings and freedom, He wanted to speak about it but he couldn't He had no mouth and he must scream, but only if he could. he sat down on a chair and sat there, his posture still good as he hid his emotions

"Da, run away like coward." Katinka mumbled under her breath. She'd get him. Eventually. The Warsaws never forgot and never forgave, unless they were really poor at the time. But nevermind. The teacher clearly had some obsession with international arbitration, and felt the need to stop what was only the natural progress of socialism throughout the world's nations.

Alexi heard her sister mumble under her breath again, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't like always. he felt like he was failing her, He wished the drugs would wear off, what his Psychiatrist didn't know was that the drugs only lasted 2 hours, and he had to take the pills every 3 hours so he had 1 hour of freedom, that 1 hour of freedom was all that he had, how much he would give for another hour of freedom, heck. isn't that what everybody wanted 1 more hour

Ada listened as the activities were named

• Human spring - standing up with elbows locked
• My eyes your hands - one draws a shame the other explains without saying what that shape is
• Smeeling - both are blindfolded, one can smell an object, one can feel the object and they have to guess what they are

With a groan she shook her head and offered to her Irish buddy, "Maybe if we sit here long enough he will get distracted and go back into his cupboard. Do you think the desk could hold him?" she chuckled and sighed, reaching her arms back to connect their elbows.

Alejandro was busy not listening to the teacher like he did last year, he would lay his down and try to look like he was listening. Then some people got up and got together in pairs or groups but they were either gossiping or arguing. Then everyone sat down after the teacher told them to which still he doesn't what just happened. He doesn't like getting in any arguments since they are all kind of dumb to him. But if somebody messed with him he will not back down but start throwing hands right then and there. Alejandro kind of stared off into space he doesn't know what's going on at the moment. Then the teacher was talking about activities which Alejandro was wondering what they meant. Because in order to do these things, you would need a partner.

How was this a team bonding exercise? Weren't team bonding exercises either supposed to build trust or force people to work together to accomplish a goal? These were just guessing games! "We could try being still. Depends if he's watching the class or whether he won't notice if we're not doing anything." Maeve bit her lip, obviously thinking about the second part of Ada's idea. "The desk could probably hold him, if he isn't superior-ly strong underneath his complete absent-minded professor act he's got going on right now," she mumbled finally. "The problem wouldn't be moving the desk though, the problem would be not getting caught. And the Dictator Gang over there would probably turn on us just because they could," she finished, still whispering.

Min-Jun stood and glared at all the countries in the room. " I don't have a partner yet ,so anyone willing to form an alliance with a country like me just ask." He was about to sit down until he herd someone speak poison through their mouth. Min-Jun didn't like it when one of the countries shouted profanity out towards Russia while he was defenseless. Attacking someone while they're at their weakest was a sign of true cowardness and Min-Jun wasn't to fond of someone who shows disrespect to a persons honor. Even though Min-Jun didn't like Russia that much , he had to at least stick up for the guy. " Who ever called Alexi a suck up is a true coward! Picking on a man while he's weakened is the greatest sign of cowardence." Min-Jun hated speaking like that. It made him sound like China giving one of his life lesson speeches. But none the less he couldn't help it , literature is very admired by him and his siblings.

Li couldn't help but crack a smile. For as much as Jun seemed to hate him the two really did have a lot in common, it was a real shame he didn't want to join their little group. Still, the whole classroom situation had gotten a little out of hand. The first order of business would be to marshal his classmates, the rest of the 'dictator group', over to their own little area so as not to mix them with the obviously volatile ideologies of the other students. "Perhaps the three of us should relocate? it looks like there's better territory on that side of the classroom." Li motioned with his hand, making sure Katinka most of all got a good view of the area he was pointing at. The girl always did have a weakness for imperialistic expansion and would likely jump on the opportunity to 'claim new territory'. This done Li began trying to mend whatever bridges had just recently been burned. Moving over to Jun, the taller male nudged him gently towards Ada and Maeve, addressing the two females as they approached. "My friend Jun seems to be without a group, perhaps you wouldn't mind taking him in?" Again, the coldness in Li's speech and expressions was shocking, eerie almost, but it was something he really couldn't help. He was actually a nice guy. He swore. As for the teacher, well, the man's interest in the class seemed to be waning by the second. The sooner Li got everyone working on their respective group-building projects the better. Obviously the teacher was no longer interested in actually doing his job so someone was going to have to step up. With the worksheets dispensed Li regretfully moved himself back over to the 'dictator' corner. He was regretful because he wasn't able to make a good first impression on the majority of the people in their class, at least, that was how he viewed it. Still, there would be time for damage control later; as Confucius once said, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." He would apply this philosophy directly to his actions and seek to continue courting the favor of the other countries later. As for the 'dictator' group's endeavors in their group project, well, things didn't exactly go as planned. Although he, Katinka, and Alexei were principally all of the same mind the methods by which they engaged the activities presented were radically different and therefore a number of humorously bungled attempts at solving the three puzzles were launched and ultimately, through a great deal of difficulty and whispered bickering, completed.

Min-Jun stood and glared at all the countries in the room. " I don't have a partner yet ,so anyone willing to form an alliance with a country like me just ask." He was about to sit down until he herd someone speak poison through their mouth. Min-Jun didn't like it when one of the countries shouted profanity out towards Russia while he was defenseless.

But none the less he couldn't help it , literature is very admired by him and his siblings.

Wow, that is unexpected. Alexi thought, This was pretty much the first time anyone ever stuck up for him, Alexi Smiled, Thanking Min-jun Thank you very much Min-jun

Maeve smiled politely at Li. Li was going out of his way to be polite, so she may as well do the same. Most people thought Ireland didn't play politics, as many times when dealing with a situation she lost her temper, but living with England, Wales and Scotland forced her to deal in politics. It was forever a game of politics with those boys, especially England, trying to be independent and free while also not angering them or getting on their bad side. "Yes, of course, Min-jun is welcome if he chooses to join us. Thank you, Li."

"No problem , Russia." He said not moving from his corner. When Li moved Min-Jun, he was ready to pounce on him.......until he realized the direction Li was moving him towards. He looked back at Li and said. " Xièxiè, wǒ ó, nǐ 1." Which means thanks I oh you one in Li's language. Min-Jun reverted his attention towards the two feminine countries. He bowed in their direction to show his sign of respect for the two and said. " hälsningar (Swedish) , Beannachtaí.(Irish) " Which means greetings in both of their languages. He stood and spoke in a very friendly tone of voice. " Its a pleasure to be forming an alliance with two lovely countries like you two. I'm South Korea please don't confuse me with that gaejasig(Son of a bitch.) North Korea."

"Beannachtaí," Maeve replied with a smile. "I'm Ireland, but it appears you already knew that. Or you can just call me Maeve if that pleases you. Thank you, a pleasure to make an alliance with you as well. You're a lot nicer than North Korea, I'm pretty sure I won't get you mixed up." She checked her watch. "This class feels like it's gone on longer than it has." She then thought, trying to remember what they were supposed to be doing again.

Ada smiled at the sweet gesture, "Hej hej!" she offered a reply back. He sounded like he was from 1940, but the effort was too sweet to complain about it, she appreciated the try. She patted the spot next to her, just planning to talk the rest of this waste of a day, "Such a shame that they should use school resources so unwisely, it's so inefficient! The first day is always for the birds," she sighed and shook her head. __________________________ Mr.Turtles had made his way back into his strange little cupboard again, being unnoticeable part from the occasional shattering of glass.

Alexi walked up to Katinka's group, bowing his head and offering to join, Sorry about What happened earlier, but can I still join this group?, Alexi asked,

Maeve shifted a bit as she fidgeted, all this sitting still was beginning to get to her. "For some reason I remember last year's first day being a bit more...less boring. Not that either of your company is dull, you're fine, I like you guys," she hurried to reassure. Her feet twitched. Maeve was used to moving, whether that would entail football, dancing, riding her horse Epona, drunken brawling or something else. Henry (England) always called her and Scott (Scotland) ADHD, though they weren't really. They were just more active than Henry (England) and Evan (Wales).

Ada "When is school anything but boring?" she chuckled, "Either way, it's almost lunch, so maybe it won't be so bad" she shrugged and picked at some chipping paint on the desk leg.
