002 | ( VIDEO + ARTWORK?? ) | MAY 5th

[herocomplex]

_{[ The feed clicks on to show America in a suit for a change. He looks super official! His video post is going to be a lot more wordy than his last one since he's gotten his bearings here. Congratulations if anyone bothers to hear what he has to say. ]}

Heya Lunatia!

_{[ Looking formal and acting formal are two completely different things for him. ]}

My names America-- well, that's one of my names, I guess! Some of you who have met me and some of my other colleagues may know us by different names, but I'm here to clear some things up for ya! Take a second and look at what I have to say. I drew a kick ass lit AF graph for you guys to follow if you get confused! <sub>[ actually the graph is more confusing to look at.. ]

[ He turns around a notepad to show off his artwork. Such beauty. Such.. close minded thinking. ]</sub>



Hahaha! So, yep, I learned how to draw when I spent a lot of time in New York, but hopefully you can see everyone here. I tried to draw him as accurately as possible!! So yeah. Some of them aren't here, but it felt weird leaving them left out when we used to be divided up into these groups long ago.

Anyway, moving on.. you may have met me as Alfred, but my real name is America, or the United States! We're sort of, hmm.. spirits of our representative country? Basically, history is our lives-- we're very connected to our culture and citizens. We've been through it all from beginning to present, so that kind of means.. we're a little bit different than average humans! We can't really die-- kind of-- and we don't really have to eat to survive, we're supes-dupes strong, but we feel pain. Oh my god, we feel a lot of pain. It hurts sometimes! But we help aid our country back home. It's a lot of hard work, but it's a really rewarding job even if we're sometimes forced to do things our bosses say. We age differently, too.. I'm actually..

_{[ He pauses, visibly counting on his fingers. ]}

242.. even older than that. Also, the whole birthing thingy you guys have? Yeah, it doesn't really happen! We just kind of appear out of nowhere in case you were curious about that. So, I celebrate my birthday on July 4th since it's important to me! That's coming up soon! Start thinking about presents for me, hahaha! _{Fuck, my existence is weird.}

Anyway, I hope everyone can understand! If you have any questions about us, let us know! We're here to protect our citizens and anyone who needs help! That's all I wanted to address to everyone, thank you for listening!



_{[ A brief pause as he shuffles through his paperwork and.. artwork, and then he glances up at the camera. ]}

Any nations listening to this presentation, just letting you guys know, we should organize some world conference meetings together monthly, just to make sure we're all on the same page of thinking while we're here in a different world! After all, I need all of you to be my sidekicks through this, okay?

Thanks man! Just taking charge here. You know, it's what I do.

_{[ He lifts his eyebrows and tips his head. Honestly, he doesn't understand how Italy is so close to someone who is parental figure, so he doesn't get it. ]}

Yeah? Maybe so. I'm gonna be real for a second and say there's really not a lot of stuff I know about you guys when it comes to history, so all the old guys are totally foreign to me.

_{[ Hmm. ]}

I guess it would be cool to learn sometime.

[ciao]

Really? I thought Germany was the one in charge of meetings at home...

[ he never even considered the idea of anyone else taking charge ]

I'm sorry England dropped the ball on history, he could've at least gone over this since he used to be an underling to grandpa.

Well, you can ask him personally now since he's here--Though it seems he came from the third century, so that's pretty far back. But consider this, he was on the forefront when it comes to the things we take advantage of, such as irrigation and plumbing.

[ a pause. ]

Maybe... be careful about what you say when it comes to Germany, he's not in the best of moods lately.

[herocomplex]

I mean..

_{[ America rubs the back of his neck. ]}

I'm sure.. he talked about your grandpa some? It's just..

_{[ His clicks his tongue. ]}

Yeah, I don't know. I sort of don't like thinking about living with him. It's sometimes really hard for me to remember much before I became my own person. I find myself remembering things once my memory gets jogged, though. Maybe if I did sit down and read some of your grandpa's stuff I could remember more about what England said if that's true.

_{[ A beat. ]}

Huh? You think he's sensitive about this stuff?

[ciao]

Ah, I could understand that... I appreciate everything that Austria had done for me growing up. But sometimes, it gets a little difficult, but I try and cherish all the memories I have because I don't want to lose the good ones.

[ another pause as he looks away some, suddenly very distracted by something off-screen ]

Well, you know, the dicking part... I may have said something unnecessary to him recently that put him in a mood about that stuff. I think. It's hard to tell.

[herocomplex]

Is that why he's extra bitchy?

_{[ Hmm. ]}

Hey, are things going okay with you? Or like.. you both, I guess, since you live together.

[ciao]

Austria had to mature a lot faster because of his situation back in the old days, he used to be very different as a child... Like friendlier and carefree. I'm pretty sure that's still in him, but it's harder for some people to be open in that way I guess~

[ a smile and finally a perk of those wolf ears before waving a hand ]

Everything is okay, we're okay--I made some baked ziti and tiramisu in the communal kitchen, do you want to come down and eat some?

[herocomplex]

Yeah, I mean. I can eat. I can always eat.

_{[ Hm, maybe he was wrong. ]}

Tiramisu is like.. the bomb diggity. I could go for that. Are you there right now?

[ciao]

[ he wasn't, but italy has a hard time with that kind of openness ]

That's good to hear, it always makes me happiest when others could enjoy what I make~

I'm down here right now, I probably will be for the rest of the evening if you don't mind some company.

[herocomplex]

Nice, niiice. Okay! I'll be there in a jiffy and probably eat the rest of it cause I deserve it.

See you in a few!
