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?

[ateaist]

In any case, you're only speaking with the most important person in Japan's entire history! [or so she says.] Nobunaga Oda! The demon king of the sixth heaven! The one who unified the country!

He'd have to be grateful, after all!

[herocomplex]

....

Oh! Yeah okay!

_{[ He still doesn't know (or really care.) But he certainly will act like he does. ]}

That's, uh, cool I guess. I guess if you did something like that he probably did appreciate it.

[ateaist]

Well, he'd want to be. Otherwise I'd have to kick his ass for making me waste 50 years on it.

[Spoilers: she would not.

Well, maybe consensually behind closed doors but--]

[herocomplex]

Wow. That’s a long time to blow on a country.
Is Japan really worth it to you? I mean, his porn is cool and all, but even I wouldn’t spend that much time on him.

[ateaist]

Well...I suppose it isn't something a country can understand.

[She saw the world was wrong and she moved to fix it. It wasn't any harder than that.

She doesn't regret dying for her country, but admitting it would involve being sincere which she just ain't about.]

50 years is a blink of an eye to you lot anyway, I'd say.

[herocomplex]

That's true! But it's quite awhile for a human.

_{[ Or.. ]}

Wait, are you one of those weird spirit hero things?

[ateaist]

Hoh? So you've heard of us, huh?

Indeed, I am! Japan's greatest weird spirit hero thing!

[herocomplex]

Yeah okay, but I also heard that Arjuna dude has an 8 pack. That Arjuna is shredded.

[ateaist]

Arjuna...? Tch, nobody cares about that inferior Nobunaga Archer! The only one that matters is the Nobunaga right before your eyes!

[A lot of people care. So many.]

[herocomplex]

Yeah but.. he said he was really strong! Like the strongest.
Also he cooked for me once and it was amazing.

[ateaist]

Oh, that.

I don’t really care, so I suppose I’ll concede. Trying to hold onto a title like “the strongest in the world” is a lot of work, you know?

[Like, given her skill set is fairly niche but he happens to be one of the people vulnerable to it, she might be able to beat him? It’s less Rock Paper Scissors and more Two Extremely Powerful Rocks.

But as she said, effort.]

As for cooking, it’s the age of connivence! Who cooks for themselves anymore in this day and age?

[herocomplex]

I mean, I don't, but that's why I need guys like him to cook for me.
So he's sort of important.
