starspangledhero | [video] in which America will prove that he's right and YOU ARE WRONG

[ Something is amiss in Hetalialand. If you thought Italy!Japan was odd, you're in for something else tonight. Instead of America's usual bomber jacket/hippie clothes/nudity, he's actually cleaned himself up. The horrendous bowl cut is slicked back to be less... awful, he's clean-shaven, and he's managed to patch together a semi-respectable navy blue suit. (Kinda like the icon but way more dusty/moth-eaten/DAMN IT DISCEDO RUINS EVERYTHING AND HE'S TRYING.) Also, red bow tie. Of course. There is nothing to be done about the cowlick. Oh, and the bandages are gone yay! All that's left is a bruise around his left eye.

America had currently set the communicator aside to finish fixing his hair in the mirror. Even his apartment is cleaned up what the hell have you done to him, Japan. ]

Japan's love life aside, there's still a lot of other work to be done to Discedo. Things to be mended, repaired, restored, removed, explored. And I hope you know all know that I fully intend to do all that. As much as is possible for a world power, anyway, though I have to say that's a lot to look forward to!

[ He finishes combing his hair and, to the side of the screen, effortless hoists a washing machine onto his shoulder and moves it off-screen. Walking back over: ]

Doctor Whoever You Are, whenever you're free, I'd very much appreciate any help with this. I can move them all to the basement no problem, but I'm afraid I'm a bit lost when it comes to piping and repairs. Still, I'll do all I can!

In the mean time... I've decided to take everyone's advice and give myself a night off. I've already worked myself to death once; it wouldn't do anyone a favor to repeat that. Not when there's so much left to do!

Anyone is welcome to join me for a drink, or just to hang out-- er, socialize. Whatever. Point is, company's welcome. Otherwise I guess I'll... go fight my way through the library and hope they have one of my writers. Or something sci-fi!

[ America grins, winks at the camera, and bows slightly before moving to shut it off. Blame Japan. BLAME THE COMMUNISTS TOO IF YOU'D LIKE. ]

Hey, good idea!

Good luck not getting your head bitten off!

If I die, I'll just revive again!

Yeah, but it's still inconvenient.

And I'd have to get my chip out again...

You would? Why?! ...Would you be a sheep again?

I don't wanna be human! And I have no idea what was up with that sheep!

Neither do I! It's too weird, I'm not strong enough, and there's no real point to it if you're a nation anyway and have all your memories of being one. Kinda defeats the purpose.

But I do wanna turn into a buffalo...

Plus, it turns out being human is exactly the same, except wrong.

I don't wanna turn into a buffalo. Maybe a swan...

Wrong?

You can turn into a swan, and I'll turn into a buffalo!

'Cause we ain't human.

Yeah! Hurry and figure it out!

Yeah. Pretty sure there's nothing the chips could do to change that.

I'm trying! I've gotta figure out how to throw Russia into a black hole first.

We should have a meeting and get together an actual agenda. Serious, the last meeting was way too chaotic. [ LIKE THAT WASN'T ALL THIS FAULT. ]

We need a NATO meeting.

Who's in NATO?

Me, England, you, Canada, Norway, Greece, Germany, and Italy. At least, that's who's here.

... Works for me!

Awesome! Once we've recovered from syphilis, I'll get that organized!

Okay! Oh, also, when are ya gonna announce the end of my occupation!

At the NATO meeting! Seems like a good time, since it's a meeting of only the important people.

Wait, but I need Sweden to know about it, too. And that'll be longer than a week... [ I'M ALREADY A (PARLIAMENTARY) DEMOCRACY, YOU DON'T NEED TO LEAVE TROOPS TO ESTABLISH ONE. ]

You can tell him! [ I'M JUST MAKING SURE THE RUSSIANS DON'T GET TO YOU. IT'S A PRECAUTION, I SWEAR. ]
