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?

He's a bit juvenile, but I'm sure he'll get around to growing up eventually.

Then he might even enjoy your southern fields as much as I do.

[herocomplex]

S TOP THIS IS WEIRD

[menphina]

it's just an adult conversation. you're an adult too, right?

[ This is probably like watching your mum and dad flirt, huh. ]

[herocomplex]

well YEAH
but

D:

[amant]

While I believe everyone should enjoy my southern fields...

NO. I fought with England over earning a spot as a brother to him. I might have failed, but that doesn't stop the fact that I've known this guy since he looked like a toddler.

Even for nations that comes with a little hesitation...

[ He'd rather simmer on Cordis UST forever. Please Megumi, save him. ]

[menphina]

[ That's what she's here for, husband. ]

Understandable, but you're not really his brother and you didn't raise him, right?

My husband knew of me since I was running around naked as a babe trying to scare him.

We still got married twenty turns later.

[ As long as both parties are of age and consenting.. ]

[amant]

[ (oh yes, I keep telling myself that every time I ship France/America. just keep swimming through the river Styx, self)

Valid points, Megumi. Still, he's stubborn. ]

No, but I think that there is a mental barrier nonetheless.

I like your story better. You still run around naked trying to scare people. ❤️



[ Twenty moons. HA. Oh, he wishes there were only twenty moons between them. Maybe America would be more chill like he is then. ]

[menphina]

[ Every Hetalia ship is a good ship but I still draw the line at Sealand. ]

I can't deny that, but you have to admire his youthful enthusiasm? It's something to experience firsthand.

And I imagine if you really were scared, you'd shrivel up. Unless you're into being frightened?


[ She can always tackle him when he doesn't expect it and scare some years off him. Besides, it'd be the equivalent of going to a scary movie and clinging to your date when scared. ]

[amant]

Dare I even ask if you've experienced his 'youthful enthusiasm', as you so seamlessly call it? Actually no. Don't answer that one. I love a good mystery.

Or ignorance. Yes.

HA. Shrivel up with such a beautiful sight? Hardly... Please, I'm old. Don't say shrivel. I might have a crisis.

[ Traumatizing America, one flirt at a time. ]

[menphina]

I'll leave that to your imagination, but only if I'm the one in control. But you wouldn't have me any other way, aye? ♥

Oh, and about that...

Well, we still have to work on jogging your memory. At your age, who knows if you've started to forget important details.

As a doctor, I have to be thorough!

[ Yep, medical reasons. ]

[amant]

Listen only I can call myself old. It's a personality flaw of mine...

I think you're using my memories as an excuse to forego proper wooing, personally. They tell me that I am forward, and yet you prove time and time again that I am merely floating on reputation while you are the true deviant.

I do take my mental health very seriously though... Perhaps we could do dinner first?

[ France setting dinner dates where it's easily visible. No class. ]

[menphina]

But I like my men... well, you'd know my tastes best, chéri.

[ She's dying laughing now. ]

At least I'm not ashamed of my deviancy. But it's all for a good cause.

You are cooking, aren't you? Unless you'd like to take a break and let me treat you.

[ Not with something she's cooked though. She thinks France deserves far better. ]

[amant]

OH, I see you are gaining from my beautiful French essence. Look at you. I'll have to teach you some more later!

[ Unsavory. Unsavory heathen. ]

Perhaps I could cook for you and then you could treat me as thanks for a good meal?

[herocomplex]

stOP IT FRANCE

[amant]

All I'm doing is catching up with a dear friend of mine, America. Arranging a nice dinner date... Is that so wrong?

[ Dinner dicking but hey, innocent until proven guilty. ]

[herocomplex]

i don’t like it

omgthaticonissocute

[amant]

What? Why?

Do you want me to sit alone at home all night? That's a bit cruel, don't you think?

perfect for manipulating

[herocomplex]

i want a french dinner

ruins. PRIVATELY.

[amant]

You do not want the four courses I am planning on.

[ It's not him hitting on America. We've established that. HE KNOWS YOUR GAME. This is a deterrent. ]

[herocomplex]

probably not lmao
i just like the starting course
like i could eat a whole baguette
in one go!!
it wouldn’t last long with my kind of appetite

_{[ France might be thinking dirty, but America is too naive to see the difference. Therefore, he’s genuinely talking about food. ]}

[amant]

[ Keep feeding into that filth pit. ]

Rude, America. I assure you that I have great taste when entertaining a friend for the evening.

Oh my God! Why?!
There are so many more flavors to savor.

Not to say that my bread isn't a nearly religious experience but it is good to enjoy the entire presentation. Just like you to only read the footnotes!

[ Near religious experience, alright. Someone's getting praise. ]

[herocomplex]

ok well
im willing to try everything once
u just have never offered this four course thing to me
so whose fault is it really

but if i see something gross im calling the police

_{[ he’s still?? talking about food. ]}

[amant]

[ alas, the bemoaning sigh is not easily conveyed in text, so please let america be totally oblivious. ]

A four course meal takes time and consideration.

You eat cereal for breakfast and devastate carefully crafted plates.

So, why should I? Is it my fault that you wouldn't appreciate it?

[ GOD HE'S... not even sure what he's talking about anymore but it might be food as well. ]

[herocomplex]

woah

are your four course meals as salty as your attitude right now???
because if so no thanks
yeah maybe ur right

_{[ Why does he hone in on people's reactions when they're negative? ]}

[amant]

...

WHY DO YOU ONLY READ THE MOOD IN CERTAIN TIMES?
It's mind boggling, America!


I suppose you could come over anyway.

[ Not to say he's making a four-course meal but maybe a snacc will do. ]
