[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!

[He's silent for a minute, glancing down at the growing bowl of sugar as he adds to it.]
...I have actually been thinking about that, lately.

ACTION
Having my chip removed.
ACTION
Any time soon?
ACTION
[Closing the jar with the remaining sugar packets. That was enough. Now, how to describe his many worries..]
...
China-san...
ACTION
[ America makes a face; he's got a very limited knowledge of Asia, especially before WWII, so all he knows is that China is Japan's equivalent to England. ]
ACTION
With England-san, you have the revolutionary war, correct?
ACTION
ACTION
I stabbed him in the back when he was not expecting it. ... There have been many instances like this, and only recently he has had to deal with it in Discedo, as well. To do so again...
ACTION
[ America's face falls, and then he looks a little alarmed as he realizes, oh shit, he wasn't supposed to say that. He hurries to try and amend this. ]
Not that you, uh, I don't know exactly... Well, if you're worried about that, I can take care of it! Take care of you. I mean.
...
I'll help!
ACTION
...I have heard. Of many things from my future.
...
A-ah.. I am not sure...
ACTION
Yeah. ...Anyway, not the point now.
[ he quickly perks up! ]
I can take care of you when you're a baby!
ACTION
I am not so sure about that. Ah.. it is not an issue of trust, I assure you. Rather... I was very rude as a child, and.. ah..
