The Tales of Gustafvus

Feb 21

majikthise asked: The space time continuum swirls around you and burps you out somewhere in Europe 1803. What do you do? What are your survival chances?

I hope you realize how difficult of a question this is right now, because I’m such a nerd there are SO MANY possibilities. HOWEVER….(BTW this is going to be a very nerdy post, so I suggest you all run away right now :P) So the first thing I’d do (assuming I’m in shape) would be to go and convince the Czar’s court that I’m actually a descendent of one of the Imperial families (probably some foreign Finnish/Swedish/German/Dutch name that had Russified themselves) that owned land and join up the Imperial guards to fight against Napoleon. (Probably the Finlandsky Guards or the Cavalry Guards) (Fortunately for me I can get around enough in Russian, Finnish, and German to sound convincing….I think…)  I would get to see so many places (Vienna, Prague, Dresden, Berlin, Köningsburg, St. Petersburg, Paris, Warsaw, etc) I would probably survive assuming I survived in battle…but the cavalry guards were used sparingly because they were the best, so I’d assume the chances were good.

PS I so can’t believe I’ve admitted this in public. *DIES*
