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?

[herocomplex]

the knowledge of my nature??????
like i knew what i was or what i was gonna be???

i mean sort of
i was a colony first so i guess i was really excited about life and finding out who was gonna take care of me!!

is that what u mean??

[kiritin]

Yes, in part. Though I'm surprised to hear that you were... born knowing that you're a colony.
We have more similarities than I thought.
Thank you for explaining your nature to us.

[ He'll find someone to inquire about India one day... then... Vietnam come here. ]

[herocomplex]

uh
yeah man ur welcome!!! anytime.. i just knew it would probably come up in conversation and i wanted to lay out the start of it so ppl don't get confused..

are you sort of the spirit of something else too??

[kiritin]

Yes, that would be right. In simple terms, I'm the spiritual form of who I, Arjuna, once was.
Those like me are called Heroic Spirits. Our spirits exist in a specific place until we are summoned with a physical body to fight for our Master.
Likewise, we do not require sleep or food, but we still feel pain and bleed.
In a way, we're quite similar.

[herocomplex]

HEROIC SPIRITS???? LIKE SUPERHEROES???
_{[ Sorry. He honed in on one thing. ]}

[kiritin]

[ * Mental note: America has no brain cells whatsoever. Do not forget. ]

... I suppose we could be seen as such, yes.
In a way, many of us exist to protect humanity, and the world itself.

[herocomplex]

that's REALLY cool!!!!!
who is the strongest???

[kiritin]

Such judgment varies depending on the quality of the Master that leads us, but I pride myself in holding power that many of my kind cannot possibly compare.
In a way, I suppose I am the mightiest of them all.

[herocomplex]

ur the mightiest of all...
AND...
AND U MAKE GREAT BURGERS

omg ur *my* hero <3

[kiritin]

[ Hm............................................................. ]

... I'm not anybody's hero. There would be no point to show possessiveness over someone who has sworn to protect any and all.

[ HE DIDN'T GET IT... ]

But I'm pleased all the same that my actions and deeds are of your tastes.

[herocomplex]

yeah man u should be pleased af
cuz like
nobody can probs make a burger like u do
and then u said ur pretty mIGHTY
so yeah

imma bit starstruck here

_{[ He really has no basis for Arjuna's heroism other than just what he knows about him, but somehow he's fanboying. ]}

this is just a shot in the dark cause ibr
i don't know much about other country's stories
mostly just AMERICAN ones
u belong to india
don't u??

he's a chill af guy btw
really good dancer

[kiritin]

Ah... Yes, I'm an Indian hero.
Is that so? Dance and song are very popular in our culture.
I would be honored to meet him, one day.

[ But!! Arjuna really doesn't want to learn about India from America of all people. So it's time to change the topic. He has seen a couple of American Servants in Chaldea, and they all seem to be... really... egocentric, so: ]

Though my place of summoning varies depending on my Master, I have been to the United States, once.
Admittedly, I was then sided with the Celtic Army, but I have met a few Heroic Spirits that hail from your country.
Would that information be of your interest?

[herocomplex]

his hair is nice too!!! maybe he will show up in weird vaporwave space
lmao damn i wonder what his fursona will be...

_{[ Stop. ]}

yeah sure lay it on me!!
did u have spirits from america like batman and superman??
did they hate each other

or nah
different heroes?

[kiritin]

[ PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS COUNTRY LIKE THIS?????? This is why he's asking Vietnam about India. Shut up, America. ]

I have never met one named 'Batman' or 'Superman', no.
But I have fought against heroes named Billy the Kid, Geronimo, and Thomas Edison.

[ Thanks Chaldea for providing the names of his enemies after they all fought against each other??? ]

Are you familiar with any of them?

[herocomplex]

_{[ America has got stars in his eyes. The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas. Or something. ]}

HELL YEAH I KNOW OF THEM!!!
did they kick your ass?? they kciked ur ASS didn't they!??

_{[ He's very excited. ]}

[kiritin]

I killed them.

[ Two of them, short and straight. ]

1/2

[herocomplex]

2/2

[herocomplex]

oh

[kiritin]

That's why I told you I'm the mightiest Heroic Spirit. They stood no chances against me.
However, we are allies now, under the same cause, if that brings you comfort.
A Heroic Spirit's death is only temporary until their next summoning, after all.

[herocomplex]

ohmmmygod ok
yeah
yeah ok i think i understand thats a relief

wait
do you think i could summon good ole tommy or billy here
how does that work
do i need a virgin sacrifice

[kiritin]

You do not need a "virgin sacrifice", no.
As per my nature in Lunatia, though unsure, I do believe us Heroic Spirits can be summoned in this place by the usual means.
There are steps in which you must follow, which I do not believe to be accessible to your person.

[ He's just?? not??? going to let America summon a Servant?????? ]

[herocomplex]

i can't just go through the Heroic Spirits R Us drive thru???
roll on up there and be like

yo
gimmie an extra large tommy eddie
extra inventor creativity
hold the diabetes

[kiritin]

[ What the Fuck is a 'Heroic Spirits R Us drive thru', my God. Why does he talk to this kid. ]

No.

[herocomplex]

ooohhh
ohhhh daaaaaamn
maaan
ur good
ur real good

ok
we'll raincheck the tommie eddie

for now
i think ur cool
best hero spirit thing i've met yet

_{[ The only one he's met yet. ]}

[kiritin]

[ Your attempts to win Arjuna's good side won't work only because you're stroking his ego, America. ]

That goes without saying.
I am pleased to know that my actions and efforts suit your tastes.
