[ GOOD EVENING, MARSHALL STREET. YOUR LOBBY HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A WILD WEST SALOON BY AMERICA AND MIRIA. Perhaps an elaboration is in order.

If anyone in the complex cares to come down and figure out what all the ruckus (get it? Baccano, ruckus, shush it's funny) is about, you'll find that America and Miria have gotten it in their minds that there should be a saloon in Discedo. It's 1881 for America, and Miria is... Miria. This makes sense to them. This does not make sense to anyone else. That is okay. This is normal. So what does this all entail, exactly? Let's find out:

→ Chairs and tables of a wide variety; most likely stolen or robbed (at complete random, though hey, it might be yours. YOU'LL GET IT BACK... EVENTUALLY.)
→ Likewise for cups, glasses, and any vaguely Western decorations
→ Discedo Red Eye. The normal stuff is made from alcohol, chewing tobacco, and burnt sugar. Do you really want to know what's in the knock off? Either way, it tastes like the fires of hell.
→ Poker chips and cards. By that I mean checkerboard pieces/wood chips/whathaveyou labeled like poker chips, and whatever cards America could find. Have fun trying to win a game with this deck.
→ Banjo tied up in the corner. America stole a cow like the outlaw he is. Too bad it's his own. No one ever said he was good at this.
→ An out-of-tune piano that once belonged to Austria forever and a day ago. Why I remember this, no one knows.

For the record, America's dressed in a cowboy outfit left over from the last time Isaac left, Isaac himself is in similar (though probably fancier) attire, while Miria wears something pretty. This is Discedo and they're both still dirty but WHATEVER. IT ADDS TO THE AUTHENTICITY. The two citizens are in the background setting up the last details while America beams into the camera. ]

THE SALOON IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS! That's right folks! Located right on American soil on Marshall street, brought to you by none other than me! Oh, and Isaac and Miria. They helped a lot.

I have no idea what to call it yet, but I've got alcohol and cards and... aw heck, we don't have a sheriff. Well, I can fill that role 'til a real one arrives! Dunno if that means I have to keep an eye on myself or not, but I'll get to that bridge when I cross it.

...also, England, gotta talk to ya. If you care to. That's it! Come drink and stuff!

[ He apparently thinks he shut it off. That is a lie. The video is still rolling as he sets his communicator on a table. You get a nice view of the lobby ceiling while America shouts at Isaac and Miria. Did I mention that he's a bit imperialistic too? Not as bad as the 1890s but still. ]

So I was thinkin'! Can you guys steal a building? I want another! And I'm running low on bullets and I just got over that economic depression, so I don't wanna pay that much for one. Which one has the most Americans?!

[ It ends there. God help whatever building he attempts to claim.]

[ooc: Action log for anyone and everyone interested! Threadjack anything. Feel free to claim any stupid junk as your stolen item. Or just reply to his post and call him a freak WHATEVER WORKS.]

Oh! Well that's a given. I've got much nicer ones back home, but this'll have to do for now.

[brbmodernizing]

Ahh.. that is good to hear.

...I do not wish to get in the way, so.. [INCHING.. AWAY]

[starspangledhero]

You're not in the way! [ PULLING JAPAN CLOSER.] In fact, you're pretty much an invited guest!

[brbmodernizing]

Ha... [sob] That's very kind of you, America-san.

[starspangledhero]

Yep! But I'm a good guy, don't let the gun and gangs fool ya.

You want anything to drink?

[brbmodernizing]

I know that, America-san.

[PAUSE.]

I am going to politely decline that, thank you.

[starspangledhero]

You sure? It's Red Eye! Tastes like hell!

[ Big grin. It's like that's a positive thing. ]

[brbmodernizing]

I politely decline!

[starspangledhero]

[ He considers shoving the glass towards Japan, but instead, Japan lucks out and America downs the shot himself. Again he winces and smacks his lips after he does it. ]

Dang, what I wouldn't give for good alcohol.

[brbmodernizing]

[staring]

Perhaps you could ask the scientists.

[starspangledhero]

They never give me anything good.

[brbmodernizing]

I'm sorry to hear that, America-san. Ah, but at least there is any at all?..

[starspangledhero]

True.

[ shrug ] Though if worst came to worst, I think I could do without.

[ 1930s prove that to be a LIE. ]

[brbmodernizing]

I believe I am going to do that for a while.

[starspangledhero]

Bad experience?

[brbmodernizing]

[MORE THAN ONE..]

My tolerance is not so high.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah, mine either. I can only handle about seven shots.

[ The number of how much he can handle changes every once in a while. Mostly depending on how many drinks he's had. SPEAKING OF WHICH, HAVING ANOTHER. ]

[brbmodernizing]

[JUST GONNA NOD AND PRETEND HE CAN EVEN TAKE THAT MUCH

you see more than half of the Japanese population apparently are missing the enzyme that breaks down alcohol.]

[starspangledhero]

[ They should borrow some from the Russians. Also, now leaning on Japan a bit for balance. ]

I forget what number this is, but I think I'm still okay!

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, is that so?

[standing sturdy somehow. just no more weight on the japons. also, America drunk...]

I can understand you so I suppose it is fine.

[starspangledhero]

I'm a pretty good drunk. Don't act much different than normal... from what I remember. Sometimes I don't remember everything.

[ "Normal" America is crazy enough as he is, it's not like alcohol could add that much to his extreme behavior. ]

And I'm pretty good with speech! Uh-huh.

[brbmodernizing]

That is understandable.

[Japan apparently goes through different stages and levels up to different types of drunkenness and imitates Denmark if asked to. ...what is my playing of him]

[starspangledhero]

[ Hey at least you aren't basing half of it off your own drunken shenanigans. ]

Which part?

[brbmodernizing]

[HAHA BUT I KNOW NOTHING OF ALCOHOL but I bet I'd be a lightweight so. sob.]

..All of it, I think.

[starspangledhero]

[ I'M A DELINQUENT (not really) and yes I too am a lightweight. ]

I forgot what all of it was.
