001 | ( VIDEO + TEXT. ) | APRIL 25TH

_{[ Behold, the device reveals.. a familiar and arrogant face that hasn't been here for awhile! He's been here before, and with his confidence, it seems like he's remembering quite a few things. That's kind of a relief, right? ]}

WASSUP ALL YOU COOL CATS AND DOGS!! _{Hahaha, get it? 'Cause this is like.. furry planet.} Nobody even bothered to give me a welcome commitee for coming back to this place 'cause you're all shy? Hahaha, _{fuck you too!}
Oh, also! If you don't know me, my name's America! If that doesn't make sense to you, well, get the eff over it, man. I'm sure you've met the rest of my colleagues here and if you haven't.. well. Good thing you get to meet me first! I typically try to keep this on the d-low, but since everyone else is just throwing out their code name all willy-nilly, guess I will too! How about that, boss?! BOOYA.

ANYWAY, MY DUDES!! I just wanted to say what is up and also.. what you think about those BTSBoys? Maaaaan, they're far out. I've already had their songs on like.. repeat over and over. Anyone else feeling it? Did anyone else get a ticket for their concert already?

_{[ America stands there as the doors open and his arms even swing apart, intending to hug his employee, but then he goes forth to— what— organize the office. Alfred tilts his head, but his smile lingers as he walks on in. He slaps his hand on the desk, barricading Iida from further tidying it. ]}

Y-ELLOOOOO, BUDDY..! I haven't seen you in, what, it feels like a millennium?

_{[ He'd say century, but in nation time, that's not very long. ]}

C'mere, doofus..!

_{[ Oh. Iida better move or he's getting an American hug. ]}

Guess I'll just have to call you Toyota then..!

[Tenya is... Uncertain about affection in the workplace, maybe? But when America just moves directly into his space so easily, he doesn't deter him. He shakes his head, stooping so his arms loop under his and actually hoisting him off the ground for a moment.]

[He missed you, sir.]

I would prefer my name, but I suppose if you must. It's good to have you back.

_{[ Woah. Woooah. Such strength! And so solid. America bursts into laughter, steadying his hands on Iida's shoulers until he's placed back down on his feet. Iida earns a firm jab on the shoulder. ]}

HAHAHA!! Oh, man. I mean, that's just kinda like me, you know? I make a come back and I want to make it even greater than the first time..!

_{[ He places his hands on his own hips and takes a look around the office. It does look tidier than when he was in here. ]}

What'cha got? Anything else you needa lay on me about this place? I mean, like, the business of course, but anything else on this planet that I missed?

[Listen, if there's one thing Tenya excels at it's neurotic organization. His own apartment is littered with books, but they're in neat stacks around the edges of the room only after they stopped fitting in shelves. He doesn't flinch to the jab at his shoulder, pondering the question.]

There was a gentleman who brought up marketing with me when I addressed assuming general ownership of McDenny's-- I turned him down, solely because it had never been an issue before, but I'm not certain if it's something you would like to pursue. Beyond that... [He looks a bit scolded.] I'm afraid I pay far less attention to the goings on of this place than I ought to. [And on top of that he's been living inside McDenny's for like a month.]

Oh yeah? Marketing is a big deal..! It wouldn't hurt looking into it, but you gotta make sure it's gonna benefit you and the company. It's easy to get roped into something you didn't mean to if you miss the fine print.. but I'm sure you knew that already! Did you at least get his contact information? If not, no biggie. There's some pride in being responsible for all of the marketing and management responsibilities.

_{[ America chuckles a little bit. ]}

You probably don't know to happenings since you're working so hard. I mean.. both Klaus and I disappeared around the same time.. so.. this place kind of ended up in your hands without you planning on it.

_{[ There's a slight frown at that, but he forces a smile. ]}

No news is good news, really. Thanks.

That is a lot of why I didn't go for it-- I'm not familiar with the field at all, so I figured it best to do some research independently...

[He frowns at a few books and stacks of papers piled neatly on the edge of the desk. He was literally researching marketing to figure out how the fuck to do it, and if it was something he should look into. Iida people take literal college courses on this shit why are you so square.]

[But anyway-- he turns back to America, shaking his head and waving both of his hands.]

No trouble, I didn't want to see the place fall to waste, it wasn't like I had to pick it up. I wanted to.

[A beat.] Oh, and I believe the man's name was Draper.

Draper. Hahaha, woooow, sounds hot.

_{[ He's opening up his Prisma device and putting in what seems to be a note. He can be organized when things are important and need to be. He pushes his glasses further up the bridge of his nose before sliding his device back in his pocket. ]}

I can check'm out. Give him the whole business dude look over. I can usually tell when people are slimy when it comes to this stuff.

_{[ Hard to know if he's actually good at that or not. He seems to struggle to read the atmosphere. ]}

Welp. I guess I'm just gonna pick up where I left off. That puts you second in command. Think you can handle that, broski?

[Alfred why are you like this. His eyebrows climb for the sky and he blinks a moment, fidgeting with his own glasses an nodding, seeming embarrassed.]

I'm afraid I can't speak for the state of Mr. Draper's attractiveness, I don't... especially pay attention to that. [Like at all, ever. He's a weird teenager.]

As for second in command, if that's how you'd have it, I'd be honored.

_{[ America leans on his desk, hearing everything that Iida is saying, but zones in on one particular thing: ]}

You telling me... you don't... check out butts once in awhile, dude? Like on chicks, like on guys... it doesn't matter.. any of them?

[He looks at him, clearing mulling the question over, and his eyebrows crease together in a frown.]

...I. Not so much in the manner you are insinuating, I believe. I can appreciate a person in good physical condition, and I will certainly seek a positive attribute to point out if someone is feeling down about their appearance, but as a whole... I don't suppose I... check out butts. [He tilts his head with that last bit, almost like he doesn't understand the concept. A beat, and he quirks his mouth into a slight frown, raising a hand before America can interject.]

--now, part of that is because I had something of a poor introduction to sexual behavior, before you assume me a late bloomer. I have been there and done that, but it isn't necessarily something I seek. [He pushes up his glasses, frowning at nothing in particular. That... is sort of embarrassing to admit.]

Woah, really? I kind of used to be like that. Hahaha, talking about being a late bloomer or whatever.. try over 200 years before having sex..! Haha, no, really, it's okay, man. It just means you could be like, I dunno, more asexual. I can respect that.

_{[ hands on his hips.. he loves having discussions like this. ]}

Though, let me just throw this out there now we're on the subject. I'd totally bang you. Just like that. BANG.

_{[ finger gun!! ]}

So if you ever wanna, just tell me, bro. I can dig it. Screwing each other gives us money here and I'm all about that. You got it?

_{[ He really holds no precious value to sex anymore. Nope. ]}

["Try over 200 years before having sex" was possibly the strangest statement he had heard to date-- it was possible he'd had America's... strange constitution explained to him, but it didn't really make it make sense. He makes a wordless sound of vague acknowledgement, and shrugs his shoulders, aiming to double-check the stack of papers on the desk, and-- well.]

[He very nearly knocks them right off the desk, the entirety of his neck and ears turning bright pink.]

I-- suppose I should be flattered, though that is a bit out of left-field, I believe?

What'ya mean by that? You're hot, I'm hot.. together we're ssssssmoking!

_{[ Cue some boisterous laughter. ]}

No, man. I don't mean in like a romantic way if that's what you're worried about! It's just fun! But it's not a lifestyle for everyone. I get it. I wasn't really into it until I actually.. did it, right?

Just putting me as an option out there for you, buddy.

[He purses his lips and looks pretty sincerely alarmed for a long handful of moments, pops his lips and holds both his hands up, spatula-flat.]

I was certainly more concerned about the notion of me working for you, but perhaps I am being too strict? Given the realm we live in it isn't a terrible option but you'll have to forgive me for being a bit... staunch, and needing to consider it before I have any form of response. [Iida you're that way with everything.]

_{[ America's lips purse as Iida lifts his hands and makes them flat but then he cracks a smile and slaps his hands back and forth in between Iida's hands. ]}

HAHHA, SALMON!!!

_{[ Then, he settles both of his hands on Iida's shoulders. ]}

Take your time. No rush, man, but it seriously won't affect us being co-workers. I mean, my last assistant manager was my boyfriend when he was here. I understand if you're not interested either.

_{[ Though, his self esteem is pretty fragile underneath all of that robust, faux confidence. Without really paying too much attention, he brushes a bit of Iida's fringe out of his face and retracts both of his hands, lowering his voice to a softer tone. ]}

Just lemme know, 'kay?

Salmon...?

[He doesn't understand the gesture until America's hands are on his shoulders, and he makes a sort of baffled chuckling sound, because honestly, what the fuck, America? He hums, though, with the more serious tone of it, and starts to consider a reply when he just dusts his fingers through his hair and excuse you, that was tender and sweet, sir, what the fuck.]

[He purses his lips very tightly for a moment.]

It's less that I'm not interested specifically in you, and more that I believe I just struggle with most things tied to behaviors of a sexual nature. Given the Chroma it generates, it would be a wise business move, but I'm not... certain I'm ready for that sort of scenario.

[He swats one of his hands downward and claps it to America's, twice.]

...but if that changes I will be sure to inform you.

Yeah! You know.. like a salmon getting away.. they flop around like that, haha.
And duh, I know it's not that. People love me! I'm great! I bet a lot of people are interested in me but they have some other hang up about it. It's chill.

_{[ Keep telling yourself that, America.
Oh, what? Iida, baby, what are you doing. America laughs and grasps Iida's hand, tugging him forward slightly. He doesn't mean to settle his other hand on the other teen's waist. It just sort of happens. ]}

You just keep me in the know, buddy. Especially when those moons roll around, oh boy.

_{[ He winks, realizing he doesn't know what moon Iida (or himself, for that matter) are in, but surely it isn't Sanguis, right?
Right?

Alfred pulls away entirely, idly dusting off his desk (which seems pristine anyway.) ]}

You're a good looking fella, and I'm really proud of what you've done here. So, I mean.. you know.

[Tenya is sort of a tense person to begin with, but the hand on his waist makes him go particularly stiff, just because he's not... especially tactile, and honestly suddenly having your boss handling you in a way that isn't... Well, bosses shouldn't really be handling employees at all, from what he knows? But what does it matter, really. His head is full of fuck.]

[He idly smooths at his own shirt once he's released, fidgeting, and stares at his feet. It's... sort of startling how meek he can look with as large as he is.]

I-- thank you, in both respects. [Since when does being proud of a frenzied attempt to keep a diner from going belly-up result in sexual advances?? He surely missed something, somewhere.]

Haha, cute.

_{[ Ever since America got down and dirty here in Prisma, it's been a lingering craving he's had. Iida is cute and anyone who actually tolerates him is good in his book. It seems that way with Iida. There's not romantic attachment there, but America is very fond of his very square employee and that's all it takes for him to advance on someone.

So why not. ]}

If nobody has ever told you that, it's a shame, man. I respect you telling me up front about how you feel, buuuuut.. I'll be pretty lucky if you ever wanna get fresh with me.

_{[ Alfred, please. Enough is enough. ]}

That being said, I'll be working on some great things for this restaurant since I'm back now. So I hipe you look forward to them, dude..!
