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

[starspangledhero]

[ 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. ]

[ ...will he ever figure out he's talking to Sweden? no. probably not. ]

[rules_the_north]

Go t' yer peoples' meet'ng or yer eld'st. [You're a realy stupid adult for not knowing how to do basic things like that. Maybe you grew up under a rock.

And not even teh accent will give it away?]

[starspangledhero]

My eldest? Who's my eldest? Which meeting? Crap, do I need Congress for this? [ It is a rock called the 17th century. It was a glorious rock.

And GIVE HIM A BIT TO CATCH ONTO THAT. ...IT'LL HAPPEN. EVENTUALLY. ]

[rules_the_north]

[Well it is just that meeting. Ting.

Where things get decided. This like Weregild.] Th' meeting wh're th'ngs 're decided.

[starspangledhero]

So... Congress, maybe.

[ HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS CLOSE, RIGHT? ]

[rules_the_north]

[Extremely close to the Ting in later times.

Right now...] Wh're all yer m'n go?

[starspangledhero]

My men? Well, they're mostly back home! I've only got a handful of citizens here.

Your accent's making everything hard to understand. Ya know that, right?

[rules_the_north]

.......W're they decide.

Dan' understands 't. [Training, probably.]

[starspangledhero]

I dunno what you're saying, little man. Your accent's as thick as Sweden's! [ plus mr. potatomouth isn't that much better. ]

[rules_the_north]

Who?

[No idea who that is. The word doesn't sound familiar, but that guy has a similar name to his own!]

[starspangledhero]

Some country over by... somewhere near Europe. I think he lives between Latvia and Santa's house.

[rules_the_north]

'm live next t' Dan' and near papa.

[Never heard of Latvia and/or Santa]

[starspangledhero]

I have no idea where that is.

[ he has no idea where anyone is. ever. ]

[rules_the_north]

North 'f Rome.

[starspangledhero]

...That's in Italy, right?

[rules_the_north]

Italy and Spain and Gr'ce and Thrace and Gall'a and Engl'nd. [And probably others, but those are the ones that he knows.]
