[video; english] WRONG KNOWLTON, AMERICA
[ Unlike just about everyone else in Discedo, America's looking pretty excited right now. And sick. Not too bad, but he didn't make things better with self-medication, so he'll be breathing a little heavily and probably pausing for breath every once in a while. ]
Why didn't anyone tell me Thomas Knowlton showed up?! Well, okay, Japan just did, but I mean before that! It's one thing to miss running after a plane because I'm busy dying of food poisoning--seriously, I'm never eating foreign food again--but I would've grabbed a bucket and sprinted if I knew he was here! Ya hear that Thomas?! Not even smallpox would've stopped me!
[ COUGH okay he has to take a minute here to recover. ]
Or... or the flu. Whatever. I hate colds. Hardly ever get 'em back home, which is good, 'cause even when it's not the economy, human meds don't do jack for me, last like, ten minutes... ah.
Yeah! So you guys know how I'm all awesome at espionage and stuff? You have Knowlton to thank for starting that.
[ America sighs wistfully, staring off into space with a stupid grin on his face. ]
He's one of those types that wouldn't order men into battle; he'd lead. Always in step right along beside me. That was only in battle though; he was even better undercover! Got a good amount of dirt on England with his help. Even at the end, he didn't falter.
[ His eyes snap back into focus and the guys looks even more elated, if possible. He's practically wiggling in his seat from sheer excitement. He's like a dog who wiggles half of its body when it's wagging its tail. ]
Been 193 years since I've seen him! I lost a lot of good men in the Revolutionary War, yeah, but now I'll actually get to see one again! I never thought I would! Hope more of my people of the past show up. More importantly, I gotta show Thomas a good time. I can't let him think his country isn't gonna go out for a drink with him after he died for me. It's the least I can do to honor his contribution to my Intelligence and independence.
I'll... [ Another long pause to breathe. America shakes his head. ] Deal with the washers and... everything else when I'm not welcoming a patriot when my head feels like it's full of cotton and my stomach's doing cartwheels.
Thomas, if ya hear this, make your way over to Marshall Street!

...that doesn't make any sense.
no subject
Makes total sense. He died in the heat of battle, shooting and yelling, adrenaline going full out. Imagine being plopped down here in the midst of that. Might take a bit to calm down to figure out what's going on.

Then it's your responsibility to keep en eye on him also. It's only fair.

...did you get sick also?

[ TROUBLE BREATHINGGGG but that's more his fault than the illness. ]

...you're not the kind of person that likes to just sit and rest when you're sick, are you. [Notice that is not a question.]
no subject
Not at all. [ he literally worked himself to death this winter when he had pneumonia. IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WHEN ENGLAND'S TAKEN. ]
no subject
Y-Yeah, better to try.
Just be careful. Somehow.
no subject
I will! Don't worry; chip's out, remember? That'll help a ton.

And it's all mainly antibiotics. [...] I'd rather not give specifics because I noticed some people pay too much attention to the medicine we have, and for wrong reasons. [coughdenmarkcough]
no subject
Oh. Yeah. That's uh. Something. [ NOT TELLING ABOUT HOW HE "FOUND" MORPHINE SULFATE HAHAHAHA... ha... sob. ] Are antibiotics workin'?
no subject
They seem to be working for most people, at least the ones that aren't feeling that bad. Yagokoro and I are still trying to find something better for the people that are worse off. Hopefully it won't take us that long.
