prismatica | 001 | ( VIDEO. )

Wooaaaah, dude. Chill the fuck out!! It's a simple question.
I mean, with all these aliens, I'm just asking!! It's okay if it happened to you, buddy! I just wanna know how it all went.. for science reasons!

On that note, I wonder if any of them have laid eggs in anyone's stomach...

[ France is used to America being weird. America is used to France being weird. ALL IS NORMAL HERE ]

We're technically the aliens here, don't you think? We did come to their planet.

If anything, you should be asking if any of the so-called Moonblessed have probed any of the locals yet. Please... resist the urge.

[ Hmmmmmmmmmm... ]

I have been more hungry than usual... Interesting.

[ Don't encourage him, France. ]

Dude, shut up. People keep saying that we're aliens or whatevs but I don't think so. Like.. they're the funny looking ones. So..

_{[ Says the one with the fox ears. He gestures to absolutely nothing to try and prove his point. ]}

Haha, really? I mean.. are you gonna find any weird snail food here?

_{[ America is always hungry anyway, so he doesn't notice a difference. ]}

To be fair, they seem to have similar ideas on civilization and recreation as we do. They've been quite kind to us considering the fact we've interfered so spectacularly.

[ Is he leading a TED Talk on the Prismals now or something? Maybe after further investigation. And by 'investigation' I mean getting rich. Making cheddar. A strained sigh is caught by the surprisingly CLEAR transmission (god this is the good stuff here). ]

You know that I eat other things beyond escargot, Alfred. I've prepared many foods for you! Why are you so stubborn?!

Didn't you ask about Dennys? What a joke!

[ No honey he worries about you and your intestines. ]

Bro, I didn't interfere jack shit. We got brought here, totally brought here. I ain't falling for this fluffy bullshit where we are guests arriving here. Something bigger is up 'cause I had no say so in this! Abducted, dude. A-B-D-U-C-K-E-D.

So, yeah, no. As per usual when we argue, I'm right yet again, moving along..

Denny's is better than your snail food. Looks like I'm right about something again!

[ God, if only America hadn't multitasked shoving burgers down his gullet and sprouting nonsense he would advise the younger nation to go eat lunch or something. But no. They're doing this. ]

While I agree that this is rather suspicious I do not believe the average citizen has any knowledge of any ulterior motive. Whoever taught you how to spell, however, is doing you a great disservice. Is that how you really spell 'abducted' in all of those propaganda memos you send out? I tend to just delete them without looking...

[ Latin didn't deserve to be bastardized into English to again be reamed by this poor, poor child. ]

You're right. Denny's has primed your stomach to be like steel. After all, you can tolerate that bile and still ask for dessert. What a treat. [ there's a pause, and maybe he might be considering being CIVIL. for two seconds. ] I'm shocked it wasn't McDonalds that you were searching for. Have you moved on?

_{[ Just gonna skip over that first part cause he still doesn't agree, but fine. ]}

No.. I haven't.

But I haven't been able to find one of those either... and the fact I have this.. _{[ he holds up his unused voucher, lips curling into a small frown ]} .. I don't know, since it came with my stuff I was hoping I could use it.

_{[ Look at that pitiful face. ]}

Edited (you love my edits) 2019-04-10 02:54 (UTC)

[ Oh not the kicked puppy dog face... America why do you do this to him? ]

What is... is that a voucher?! What a strange thing to have. What else did you get from back home, if you don't mind me asking?

[ Listen, he'll get drunk and make some trashy food for you. Inebriation is the only way. ]

The variety was rather eclectic on my end. I don't know why I ended up with half of the things that I did. I got a blow torch... Could be useful...???

Well.. I got my awesome alien pal, like you saw.. and a Beretta 9mm semi-automatic!! With some extra ammunition! My sick vintage bomber jacket, some casual clothes from home.. and then this coupon.

_{[ A pause. ]}

A blow torch? Holy fuck, can I see it?!
_{[ NOPE. And just like that, the pouty face is gone. ]}

[ He's actually scrunching up his nose a bit in confusion at the list America rattles off. ]

It sounds like one Keith Urban CD away from a fuck yeah starter pack. How bizarre.

[ He would sigh but he doesn't want to ruin the sunny optimism brought on by the mention of fire. It's meant for kitchen use but a torch is a torch. The portability makes it dangerous... He has to consider. ]

Inside???? [ UM. ] I mean... why not. What harm will it bring? That's to say, if you burn what little belongings I have I will be quite upset...

[ he might be muttering about famous last words right after but shhh ]

Hahaha, I know, right? It's cool, isn't it?

_{[ And without missing a beat: ]}

Dude, really? You'll let me? I'm coming over right now!!

_{[ Do you hear that door slam? And those feet running down the hallway? And now, there's banging on France's door. ]}

[ France gawks at his device with a dumbfounded sense of dread. A quiet what have I done? is heard by absolutely no one beyond Pierre, who is quite used to witnessing his owner's Poor Decisions and seems rather uninterested from his perch.

He shows a particular spryness in how he goes to answer the door before the younger nation's enthusiastic knocking gets the both of them kicked out of this place, tugging it open and sidestepping to avoid the very real possibility that America would continue to pound even without the door being there. Sure, he tries to smile in confidence but there is certain disaster looming in the corners of his conscious. ]

It isn't a flamethrower, America before you get your hopes up... [ Resigned, he stepped back and let the door open further to usher him inside. Regert. So much regert. ] I use this for cooking. It's in the kitchen.

_{[ Upon stepping inside, France can see he's obviously sniffing the air, but he doesn't make it known what he's smelling just yet.. a brief, perplexed expression crosses his face before he looks right at France. ]}

You cook with a flamethrower? _{[ but he just said-- ]} Oh, man, sick. I didn't know you were hardcore with your cooking! That makes you like.. 1% cooler!

[ The poor kid wouldn't know subtility if he asked it to sign his yearbook and it's obvious that something unknown has caught his attention. Now that he's closer, he notices the scent that seems to be coming from America. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that he is also pumping out the pheromones.

The question catches him off and he has to chuckle, distancing himself by going into the kitchen(ette sobbing) to fetch the torch. An eyebrow quirks and he smiles over at the younger blond. ]

Only 1% See if I make you a Baked Alaska.

[ WHAT CHEEK. Carefully setting it aside, he shrugged. ]

It's good for achieving a certain depth of flavor in some meals. You see, the purpose of it is to react to the sugars in the food, not burn it within an inch of its life. I imagine you get some mixed signals.

[ His fingers tap anxiously as he tries to process some rather troubling... troubling thoughts that seem to be brought on by that scent. It definitely reminds him of America as much as that worn bomber jacket. Breathing deeply doesn't help, so perhaps distracting would do good. ]

I'm starving. Do you want to have lunch with me? I don't mind the company...

_{[ Pretty much everything that France is saying goes completely in one ear and out the other. He looks perplexed, his nose crinkling up as he very obviously whiffs the air and pays no attention to what France is saying. He curves his fingers around the collar of his shirt and sniffs there-- he certainly smells different, but it's nothing like the certain scent that's really catching his interest. He watches France for the longest time-- wordlessly-- then finally he grips him by the collar and yanks him forward, burrowing his face right into the other nation. His chest rises and falls as he takes in a good inhale and then he rears back. ]}

Holy fuck.. you usually smell like wine and defeat!! What's with the cologne, man?

[ France's tapping goes from steadily drumming to somewhat erratic the longer he stands there waiting for an answer. There is an openly confused stare shot in America's direction when he plucks at his own collar. In truth, the scent coming off of America was perplexing to the senses. They make eye contact and a brow raises in silent question. A what in God's name are you doing, child wanting to pour from his lips.

America has been insanely strong since he was a small boy, so when he grips France by his shirt and tugs, there really is no resisting, though his hands fly up to grab the younger nation's arms while he sputters in French -- which is a lesser extreme of crying in French. He can't be blamed for how his pulse picks up to a bright staccato when the blond rather boldly shoves his face against his collar. The experience garnered confusing results. He's aroused and indignant (Austria would tell him to step off his brand), giving America a rather blank stare when he has to open his mouth. ]

I'm not wearing cologne for once. I just wanted to relax today! You, however... You smell --- [ Insert a moment's pause where his eyes drift a little south. Cursing, he tried to gently pry America's fingers from his poor abused collar. ] kind of like you rolled around in a field?

[ why is he still holding on to America again? he swore off chocolate fountains after the festival! ]

_{[ They're both confused. America could blame his weird scent on his triangular ears he has sprouted for him smelling like a pleasant field. Naturally, he hardly paid attention to anything having to do with moonblessings that occur in this place. It was quite traumatizing for him to grow these things without knowing what was happening since he wasn't listening.

Even worse, he was too prideful to consult with anyone he really knew about what was happening for comfort.. but he won't talk about how much he cried about this.

Nevertheless, he stays closer to the other nation, taking in his scent in a much more animal-like nature, rubbing the side of his face all the way up France's neck until their noses touch. When he opens his eyes, he looks.. intoxicated to say the least. ]}

Ooo-kay, well.

_{[ He takes a singular step back, swatting at France's hands if they're still gripped on him. ]}

I think-- you seriously need to stop that.
_{[ Whatever that is. Smelling good? That's what he means. ]}

[ He doesn't remember the last time America has found any joy in curling into him. France would wager well over a century had passed and truthfully it was probably even longer than that since he's sought him out for so much as a hug and those were considerably more innocent than what seems to be brewing between them -- intended or not. Definitely not.

There's nothing like a lungful of pheromones to remind France that America is definitely not a cherub-faced colony. He's also not the young teen that he supported for liberty. There isn't a great deal of innocent intent behind his stare when he pulls away from France; he looks dazed off of gross French fumes.

Some of the urge to react in a huffy manner is forgotten while he tries to make sense of America's demands. Really, one step back hardly puts any distance between them at all, but he does release his hold at the slaps, brow furrowing at the sharp sting that blossoms over the backs. ]

America, you grabbed me first...

[ Excuse him while he goes to slam his dick in a door. Or at least, heavily contemplates it. Instead, his gross, autopilot hands go to stroke America's temporarily gained fox ears. ]

Ah! They're so...cute! They fit you.

[ Unintended puns and flirting, go. ]

Have you touched them? They feel like silk.

_{[ Several things are happening here. Mostly, America is quite unaware of just how heated France might feel right now. He's a little too busy with how his own body warms, especially between the legs. It doesn't help that the Frenchman goes forth and caresses his sensitive ears without permission. Red looks mighty fine on the younger nation, and it spreads all the way across his face from embarrassment, frustration and arousal.

The sound he makes is a squeak, but he can't help but allow France to caress him because it does feel nice, but after a few seconds, he stammers out: ]}

D-Dude..!

_{[ Oh, he's batting at those hands again and this time taking a few other steps backwards. ]}

Just--! I don't know!! Go cook something!!
_{[ He's mad he likes it. ]}

[ He's admiring the fox ears in an almost trance-like state. A brief, mildly thoughtful trance that seems to be broken when America startles and swats at him again. To his credit, the older nation seems apologetic and lets his hands drop. Two steps backward become five and so on until he's put enough distance between them that there's no chance of accidentally touching. ]

I apologize... I don't know what came over me. Why don't you go sit on the couch and I'll make us lunch?

[ LIKE HE OFFERED TO BEFORE YOU HAD TO GRAB HIM, AMERICA! ]

I could always pretend that I am a line cook and make you pancakes, but it's a bit late in the day...

[ He tears his eyes off of the blond to open his refrigerator, peering inside. Honestly, it's a good place to take a few nice, deep 'don't fuck your ally who is significantly younger and packed enough baggage to tour the planet' breaths. Oof. ]

Or we could just order take out because I've been a bit tense lately and stayed inside the past few days and don't have much that I think you would enjoy. I really should probably fix that...

_{[ By the time France invites him to the couch, America is already there, hiding behind the back of the sofa, fox ears poking up, completely not hidden. Eventually, he peers over once he feels like the red has died down off of his face. He observes France. He's fairly certain this is observing and not letting his eyes graze over the older nation's body. Jesus. He's never observed France of all people this way.

I mean, sure, they got along rather well enough, but it's just a little weird when France as just a kid and he was a baby.

And yet, he doesn't seem to be looking away. It's very obvious he is.. observing. His ears fall flat against his scalp at the conclusion, though, and he pushes himself up on the couch so he's more visible. ]}

The fuck?! Why not!?

_{[ Weren't you just complaining about his cooking earlier? ]}

Pancakes are just fine! Don't you make crepes or something too?!
_{[ Seems like he's getting some drive out of ordering France around-- indulging in the fact that somebody would put so much effort into something especially for him sounds more pleasing than just ordering something now. ]}

You're France! All you do is cook and go on strikes! Why don't you have anything here?

[ They hang out fairly often. They've even experienced feelings of friction throughout the years. What's transpiring between the two of them is foreign to them, but France is thankfully more experienced trying to gracefully navigate the rocky terrain.

The abrupt response makes him straighten and shoot the younger nation a confused look, complete with a nose scrunch. Clearly, he hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the American. ]

Excuse me? I didn't think you of all people would be offended with ordering in. How many pizzas have you made me eat? What was it? Papa John's? [ He makes a face and clucks lightly, the urge to seduce his guest temporarily set aside. ] I would hate to be that man's child!

[ The set of his lips doesn't necessarily loosen but he does open the cabinet that had his beloved baking ingredients. As he is France, it is a rather organized process. Flour fears the idea of spraying everywhere under the nation's critical eye. He feels like he owes the blond an answer but it doesn't come sans sass. ]

I do many things, America. It's true that I spend a great deal of time in the kitchen but... I don't know. These moon blessings have strange consequences. [ He can see the fox ears out of his peripheral and shrugs, dividing his ingredients as he talks. ] I may have gotten short with a complete stranger and was later informed that while you are only given one moon that there are some residual mood swings tied to the other two you may experience.

So. I stayed in...

[ Huffing, he takes a pause and gets the first crepe out of the way. Always ugly. ]

I must say that I'm mildly curious to see what happens the next time around. It's a relief that it is only temporary. Did you know that?

[ France only approaches the couch when he's armed with two plates filled with savory crepes. It as a creative (which is the polite term for 'cobbled and rustic') blend of ham and cheese. This is more of a distraction, in truth, but he'll make sure to be better prepared for any future visits. If that happens. For the boy's sake, he settles beside him with a cushion's worth of personal space. ]

_{[ While France makes him crepes-- it seems to be crepes-- it's hard for him to tell and he's too nervous to venture any further-- he's as a typical hormonal teenager would be, his mind fogged with distracting thoughts that actually make him cringe in disgust. Fortunately, the smell of food has him sniffing the air-- again, very animal-like-- but he is patient and crumbles back down in his seat to continue to be angry. France won't see it from where he's at, but he's tucked his hands in between his legs.. it's only briefly to adjust himself.

He doesn't respond to the string of words that France gives him, but he does respond to the question. He whirls around to sit properly when the plate is delivered to him and hesitates no longer to dig in. Before his mouth is completely full, though, he does answer: ]}

Mm! Yeah! My bro Klaus said it would be temporary, so whatever, I'm cute like this so it doesn't bother me anymore.

_{[ He seems a lot less mad in such a small amount of time. ]}

[ He's found that feeding America -- for how much he complains and jokes about the snails -- is the easiest way to get him into a more agreeable state. It is probably one of his more noteworthy observations regarding the younger blond. His manners are still regrettable, but there's no changing that now. France gives him a look of mild reprimand but doesn't voice it. The name he mentioned was oddly enough one he'd heard since coming here.

Although he'd been flirting with Klaus -- which France also chooses not to speak of. ]

Well, I'm glad that someone informed you. I'm sure that it was quite alarming even if the ears are quite charming in their own way...

[ Even now his fingers itch to stroke them. If he was being honest it didn't just stop at the ears. He busies himself with cutting into his own crepes, stubbornly eating them. He then mourns that he barely notices the taste because he's too focused on how disarmingly cute he finds the younger nation beside him. Was a couch cushion really enough space. Swallowing, he rolled his shoulders and tried to glance at ANYTHING else.

God, he needed to redecorate...]

How are they? Did you want anything else?
