( text; ) dated some time after the name-fiasco

[starspangledhero]

So... I'll say right now that, no matter what Denmark said, I'm okay if you call me Alfred or America or both or like, "Almerica" or "Amerifred" or whatever you like! I'm both. I ain't human, but. You know, maybe I'll explain it better some day, but I don't want to right now because Denmark's pissing me off and I don't want to think about things like this when I'm upset, and besides, I've got more important things to talk about right now!

LIKE THANKSGIVING.

I'm gonna have a dinner tomorrow! Miles kinda just reminded me so I know it's kinda short-notice, but I've got a box of instant mashed potatoes and other canned things that can somewhat resemble a Thanksgiving dinner if you tilt your head and squint! Anyway, all Americans are invited, and if we hang out and you're not American you can totally come too! Yes, even you, Little England, are allowed over. Try and bring food if you do show up though, because I will be hungry.

Everyone who's chipping in to help with the whole hot water thing, let's start after Thanksgiving, okay? Oh, let's finish before Christmas! It'll be like a present to ourselves!

...Okay, so I have no idea to lock something to someone who's dead, so if you're listening in Phantom the Kid: I dunno if ghosts eat or what but I guess you're allowed to stop by after everyone else has gone home. It must suck to be dead on the holidays. But I'm a nice guy and even though you scare the piss outta me, I have a sworn duty to you and therefore you can have some potatoes too!

... Amerifred?

Is Thanksgiving one of your holidays?

[ACTION YEAHHHHH]

[starspangledhero]

Like "Ameri-", and then you tack on "fred" to the end!

Yeah! It's a celebration of when the Native Americans helped the first settlers not totally die of starvation, so now I celebrate every year with a feast!

[ACTION AWWWWW YEEEEAH]

[dustedsunlight.livejournal.com]

Like... Ameri-fred? Why was Denmark so worked up over it, anyway?

Native Americans...? But aren't all people that are born there natives?

（　his voice is quiet and totally hoarse from all the yelling.　）

Just don't trick him.

[starspangledhero]

What?

[kongeriget]

England.

[voice]

[sceptered-isle.livejournal.com]

[He sounds a little flustered. He's not used to being invited to parties.]

Really? You.... you want me to come?

[voice]

[starspangledhero]

Sure why not. Everyone knows you don't have any friends except for me, and I'm not such a bad guy that I'd leave a friendless... uh, little kid... to spend the holiday alone!

[stealyourlines.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. But I think "Mr. America" sounds better than "Mr. Amerifred".

Thanksgiving? I don't know how to make cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie [PLEASE CORRECT THE MUN IF SHE MAKES A FAIL MISTAKE she is not American] but I'll think of something to bring!

[starspangledhero]

Whatever suits ya, I'm alright with! But you really don't have to tack on the "Mr." to it, it's not like this is any kind of formal situation or your my subordinate or anything.

That's fine! I have canned cranberries and I'll figure out how to make the pie somehow! Bring, I dunno, whatever suits ya for dessert or something!

[ NO YOU'RE RIGHT. Strangely, it's like tradition to get the cranberry sauce straight out of the can so that it looks like the can. I have no idea why. ]

...I think...

It's kind of nice... when people call me Heracles... especially from attractive women. Being called 'Greece' then is kind of.. peculiar, I guess.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah! I mean, there's more to it for me, but... yeah. Hey, I didn't know your name was Hercules!

[ yes, he pronounces it "Hercules". WHO PUTS THE "GLAD" IN "GLADIATOR"? ]

and then i remembered text.

[terrorizedafu.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, but why do you have a human name? Meriken never had one, nor any nation which I had known back home.

texxxttt

[starspangledhero]

Who's Merikan?

[ridingabicycle.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thanksgiving...

[starspangledhero]

Yeah! It's not exactly the same as back home, especially without Black Friday, but eh. Better than nothing!

[click-reload.livejournal.com]

That time of year already...It's been awhile since I've been able to celebrate the holiday.

[starspangledhero]

I know what ya mean! This is my second Thanksgiving here, which really blows because I've never found a turkey here, ever, and how can you have a real Thanksgiving without turkey?

[subject-17.livejournal.com]

Thanksgiving, huh? God, I don't think I've celebrated that... my entire life. And I grew up in the States.

...

[starspangledhero]

...How are you alive?!

Amerifred is perfectly acceptable! It combines the best aspects of me, I think.

[Sometime much later, America might be able to hear a rather pointed and sarcastic knock coming from the ceiling.]

[starspangledhero]

[ Probably cleaning up a bit at this point, but it still causes him to jump. He stares wide-eyed at the ceiling, wondering if God has come a-knockin'. Then the horrifying prospect that there's a ghost there enters his mind, but luckily, he remembers that it's probably the Phantom.

...It's not much better, but at least he was expecting him. ]

Why d'ya always come in through the ceiling?
