( video ) America: Greet the new arrival to the embassy

[ America pops up, all smiles as usual. The camera shakes a bit as he moves up the stairs to his apartment. ]

Yeesh, usually I check in more than this, but you know how it goes: busy taking down vicious beasts, throwing birthday parties, saving the city, the usual! Ah, hold on...

[ He fumbles in his pocket for a key, opening his door... ]

So earlier I had this really good idea for-!

[ This is promptly cut off by a scream. It is the scream of someone who is now witnessing their precious pet dog(dragonwolfmonsterhellbeast) being eviscerated and eaten. Actually, here, have a quick view of the scene while America presses himself against the wall: ...why, it's only Nepeta enjoying a meal consisting of monster meat! What's so terrible about that?

Fucking everything, damn it. That blood splatter on the floor was his pet. How would you feel if someone ate your dog? Not too hot. Even if the creature eating your pet happens to be a cute little troll girl who, at the moment, looks a bit like a pet who just got caught doing something they shouldn't. The irony of this situation continues to mount. ]

PUPPY, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! OHMYGOD IT'S EATING MY DOG!

[ Cue more incoherent screaming as he grapples for his shotgun. Amidst his struggling, the communicator switches off.

If you are in Marshall, you can probably hear his screaming. ]

[this is fine. Japan is still proud over the fact that you anticipated his lie...

anyway long silence as he sits somewhere...]

...It is.. strange to say "no" so bluntly, in this situation.

It's okay to say no! I mean, I'm not okay. That much is obvious. But I'm gonna be okay.

[ sitting somewhere too I guess. ]

Wanna talk about it?

[watching. why was it that America could speak to him from this time period? was it that he didn't 'leave?' or make a stupid mistake... ...yet.

ahhh.]

America-san is truly willing to have these sorts of meetings? [he holds his cup to his mouth but doesn't look away] Despite my time?

[ wow you just had to bring that up didn't you. he fidgets and takes another slurp of coffee. ]

I'll be honest. That part still freaks me out. Kinda like that naggy little feeling in the back of my mind that makes me more... aware of things? I guess. I'm not as stupid or oblivious as people think, you know. I can notice things when I want. I just usually don't want to.

So... there's that. But still, you're my friend. I wouldn't have come bawling to you if I didn't think of you as a friend or anything. And since I'm pretty sure whatever problems you're having have nothing to do with the war and pretty much everything to do with "Kiku is having relationship problems," I can lend an ear.

[ He grins. HOPEFULLY HE SAID THE RIGHT THING. ]

[might be looking at you... rather fondly right now actually.

but then back to his. coffee.]

I did not tell him about my year because I feared he would react in this way. Denmark-san, that is. Though, it seems that such a thing caused even further damage...

After quite a lot of fighting, he still wished for me to stay. I declined, once more, to avoid conflict.

And yet it brought tension. I am not sure that I am doing the right things. [hnnngh how to even touch on more thoughts... he stops to sip his coffee]

He's from 1943, right? Yeah uh. I can imagine he'd be pissed.

Usually the right thing is rough. It's gonna suck for a while, there's no doubt about that. But, if he really cares, he'll get over it.

[ muttering not-so-softly into his cup "This is half the reason why I avoid getting involved with countries in the first place." And then drinking. ]

Give him some time to cool down a little. If he doesn't know about your year, he should bounce back in no time.

[EYING SUSPICIOUSLY.]

...He knows. Also, I knocked Norway-san unconscious through a rather reflexive action.

[. . .]

America-san, you do realize we were merely friends, correct? Ahh.. I certainly hope.. ah, well, all along, you know...

...

I wish to remain how we were before this argument. ... Friends. Do you understand?

Oh. Well in that case, good luck.

[ just. this face. ]

Kinda. Wait. I thought you two were shacking up. You know. After the whole baby thing, I just figured you guys kept doing it or... actually, I tried not to think about it all that hard.

[ have fun explaining your sex life to him. ]

[GFSDKLGSDF SO STARTLED HE NEARLY DROPS HIS COFFEE]

Y-y-you thought this--?! This entire time--?! N-not at all! That was a mistake! A one time incident! Please realize this!! Denmark-san is with Norway-san, of course!!

I-I am with no one! I was never with anyone!!

Okay okay! Jeeze I didn't know! I just kinda assumed! 'Cause you were all "Den!" and he was all "I love sex!" so I kinda just put two and two together and that's what I got! ...I was wondering what the deal was with Norway, but again, didn't really think about it too hard.

[ He seems to space out a moment, but snaps right back to the current. ]

...Well. Uh. Okey then! Now I know!

[setting the coffee down to properly bring a hand to his forehead in dismay]

Are there others who still think such things? Ahhhh... that is no good...

... I-in any case... While my views are the same, I would like to view this world as a separate timeline. ... So surely it is fine to have friends like America-san and Denmark-san.

Uhhhhhh yeah. Friends.

[ still kinda stuck on "NOT DOING IT WITH DENMARK."

America's reality has been shattered. Or not. I don't know. But it's been a long day okay. This is just adding to the pile of surprises. ]

[STARES. AT.]

How could you believe it was more?! E-even after-- [okay he decides not to bring up the mistletoe event... which continues to plague his mind]

Haa... Such things were not meant for me. [sips coffee. with a stressed expression.]

[ He caught on anyway. HE'S TOO TIRED TO BE SO WILLFULLY UNOBSERVANT. ]

Yeah that's why I mentioned that whole "I don't wanna be a cheater!" 'Cause I thought... yeah.

Well. [ He leans back and props his feet up on Japan's coffee table. I am presuming Japan has a coffee table that America can defile with is boots. ] I dunno about other nations, but "such things" are good if you're with a human or whatever. Relationships, I mean. Even without the physical aspect of it.

[frowning at america. moving his eyes to frown at america's boots.]

... There is no one.. where that could be possible.

[he's obviously embarrassed now.]

How did it change to this topic...

It happens.

[ America chuckles and pointedly ignores Japan's frown. He's comfy damn it. ]

I'm sure there is! Some nice girl out there somewhere in Tokyo or wherever. Or guy. Whichever. There's someone for everyone!

[ can you tell that his romance movies get to his head. ]

[Japan stares over. What kind of view is that anyway. Nonsense!!!

But whatever.]

I see.

Yeah, you will see. You just gotta put yourself out there! I mean, look at me. I've only been here two years and I already had a girlfriend I loved and now I'm going out on dates with some dude Cas set me up with. Hey, you could talk to him about it!

[ this is the worst. ]

[LMFAO America. Japan suddenly looks different than a few minutes ago.

He looks like twenty times more depressed.

WHO KNOWS.]

That is not necessary. Ah... but how is America-san feeling?

[ AMERICA NOTICES. HE'S IN A NOTICING MOOD. Here, let's be subtle about it: ]

Really depressed. You?

[ SO. SUBTLE. ]

[YOUR NOTICING IS REALLY THROWING JAPAN OFF... but he just stares.

wh... oh, well... if.... okay.]

. . . The same.

Let's cheer each other up!

...What would you suggest?

Hmmm, usually back home I'd suggest going to a movie, or smoking, or going to a concert, but I don't have any of those things here!

...I've got two Beatles albums and a Johnny Cash album to listen to! Man, next on my list definitely has to be Rolling Stones. I've been itching to hear Gimme Shelter for weeks now!

Ah... music can be quite nice, I suppose. I do not have any of mine, however.
