( 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. ]

[fierybluebird]

So what was the good idea you were talking about?

[starspangledhero]

I forgot. My head's still kinda replaying what just happened.

[fierybluebird]

Understood. Well, I guess we know what they eat. [Says that far too easily in deadpan, but since he doesn't actually mean to be so callous...]

You going to be okay there?

[starspangledhero]

[ SOB it's okay he's used to it from all his time with England. ]

I'll be okay, just. A surprise, ya know? I'm not new to losing pets or even people but I didn't exactly expect her to be torn apart when I got back. I thought I'd have more time.

[fierybluebird]

It is a bit gruesome. [Since Marco pales slightly at just seeing eggs devoured sometimes.]

May I recommend getting out of the apartment for awhile? Or a drink? It might help more.

[starspangledhero]

No kidding. The blood is everywhere. I guess at least it's not England's or Namine's this time...

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. After I get it all cleaned up I think I'm just gonna head out for the night.

[ he will probably bawl when he encounters a wolf monster, try to hug it, and have it run from him in fear of the strange man. forever alone. ]

[fierybluebird]

Gross.

Definitely for the best mate. [Bawww so cute. Marco would help him catch one, but then it might get eaten again by Luffy instead of a troll. =\]

[starspangledhero]

D'ya think the bar's still serving drinks?

[ DROWN SORROWS IN ALCOHOL he is truly his fathers' son. And America would admire Luffy's appetite if he wasn't a risk to future pets. ]

[fierybluebird]

Oh, absolutely.

[Yeah Luffy and Ace are a wee bit scary. They ate tigers for breakfast. Except... really. alksdjalkdj]

[starspangledhero]

Then I think that's where I'm gonna head.

[ I can only assume America has eaten worse. Though dead people don't quite put up as much of a fight as tigers :( ]

[fierybluebird]

I'll probably see you there then.

[Avoiding the Catholic joke here just for bad taste, but damn is it tempting.]

[starspangledhero]

Oh, cool, see ya there!

[ America will be on his way.

AND IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION I KNOW WHAT JOKE YOU WANT TO MAKE AND I SNICKERED ANYWAY. ]

[fierybluebird]

Will do, man.

[Marco will be half-waiting and mostly doing his "job" of being a bouncer, which he really takes to mean almost never leaving the bar.

\o/ I'm still waiting a Vatican APH >> But it's probably way too controversial or something. I'd still play him. Only Sealand is smaller!]

[starspangledhero]

[ America will get there by the magic of time paradox. HE IS EVERYWHERE TONIGHT. And he is bundled up to the brim in winter clothing.

I just want Mexico to hurry up and show up so America can continue bitching about the Alamo properly. ]

[fierybluebird]

Yo. [Waves when he gets there and vaguely makes sure there's a place open for him.]

[That will be amazing.]

[starspangledhero]

[ sliiiiddeees into... whatever seat is available. whatever HE'LL TAKE A STOOL. ]

Hey.

[ wave wave. I am so productive with my tags. ]

[fierybluebird]

[It helps having super talkative characters with obviously so much to say.]

What'll you take?

[See what I mean?]

[starspangledhero]

[ Such a substantial conversation. America is at the top of his game tonight, clearly. ]

Uhhh, do you have anything other than the gross dark booze?

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

Yeah. We have some imported stuff. -- Though by imported I mean from other home worlds. I think Ace got most of the stuff from my word, but I'm not sure it'd be up to your tastes anyway. Got anything particular in mind?

[starspangledhero]

[ Oh my god there's a possibility of alcohol that isn't dark water booze or Red Eye. ]

You got any Budweiser or rum or-- no, better, do you have Coca Cola?!

[ ALWAYS SUPERIOR TO ALCOHOL. ALWAYS. ]

[fierybluebird]

Coca...Cola?

I'll check?

[Raids Shinjiro's stocks!]

[starspangledhero]

[ ohmygodohmygodohmygod PLEASE HAVE COKE.

DO YOU SEE THIS ICON.

THIS IS HIS FACE AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS CHANTING IN HIS HEAD. ]

[fierybluebird]

Only one I could find. Hopefully it's the right brand. [Hands him a small classic bottle cap style one they use in movies of malt shops from the 50s.]

Here, let me get a mug for that, eh.

[starspangledhero]

It's.

Beautiful.

[ so perfect. ]

No it's okay, I don't need a mug! I like drinking straight from the glass!

[ and he is totally keeping the glass and bottle cap when he's done. ]

[fierybluebird]

Ah, all right. Suit yourself, eh.

That is just cola, right? [Because One Piece really does have cola. And uses it for cyborg fuel. So special.]
