(Ja, I'm sorry, Rain; I'd play Germany if I could. X'D I've already got more characters than I should, though...)
(There is a great benefit to talking to the person who plays Prussia over Skype. X'DD)
{ Austria I Roderich Edelstein }
Austria paused, gazing down the long, gravelly road with a look of disdain. Rumors about the house at the end of the road aside, it appeared rather eerie, in any case. However, being the stubborn nation he was, Austria found himself beginning to walk, arms folded tightly across his chest. He was moving slowly, but he told himself it was for the sake of conservation of energy; he wasn't sure how long this walk would take. This was all that d**ned Prussian's fault, knowing full well Austria couldn't refuse a dare for long. Not without losing all of his dignity. The Austrian muttered something under his breath, sharp violet eyes narrowed behind his glasses, and tried to ignore the fact that he was alone. He was easily lost, but if he just kept going ahead, he'd be fine, right? As long as there weren't any turns or curves... Austria silently snapped at himself for worrying so much, but he couldn't help it. His worries were well-grounded, and he didn't exactly want to run into ghosts. Releasing a soft sigh, he shook his head gently and eyed the ground, attempting to clear his thoughts as he felt the overwhelming urge to play music, an urge he felt in the most inconvenient situations.
{ Russia I Ivan Braginski }
Russia made his way down the path with surprising speed, judging on the speed he was actually moving; his large strides made up for it easily. One hand hung at his side, holding his metal pipe loosely, while the other clung to the end of his scarf, lightly toying with it. He eyed the his boots for a few minutes, listening to the crunching of rocks underfoot, before looking back up, a faint smile on his lips. His gaze skimmed the area ahead as he absently hummed a soft song, accidentally lulling himself into an unusually calm state. The Russian's eyelids drooped for a moment until he realized what was going on, causing him to chuckle quietly at himself, shaking his head around. He didn't need to sleep now! The mansion sounded much too interesting~
{ Japan I Kiku Honda }
Japan nodded lightly in agreement as he caught back up with Italy, slowing his pace down once again. "I agree. I don't think there's anything there to worry about, though we should probably keep our guard up in any case." He mumbled thoughtfully, taking a quick glance around before turning his gaze back to Italy. "Someone may be trying to pull a trick, so be prepared, okay?" He added with a small frown; he wasn't sure why someone would do that, but this sounded like the perfect circumstance for it.
