( 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. ]

Comments

[Action!!!] *CRIIIIES* ... actually, they're going to the shakers in the music im listening to. lmao

[totallygay]

[That and they barely have any blood in them. He'd starve either way. Actually, he is starting to ponder if he should tell America or not.]

Things are turning around for me, I think. Maybe they will for you too, ya?

[Action!!!] they're watching you and your music.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah! Things always get better!

[ THE OPTIMISM IS BACK. ]

[Action!!!] Only going to BREAK BREAK YOUR- BREAK BREAK YOUR EMOTE!

[totallygay]

[He takes another sip from his drinks before sighing, still smiling.]

You know, I should probably tell you before we become good friends and all...

... I'm not human, ya know.

[Action!!!] Only going to BREAK BREAK YOUR- BREAK BREAK YOUR EMOTE!

[starspangledhero]

You're not?

[ America would be more shocked if his daughter wasn't a former empty shell of a human being, if he wasn't up to his eyeballs in troll kids, and if he didn't live with an alien. ]

What are ya then?

[Action!!!]

[totallygay]

A vampire.

[He says it ever so nonchalantly before taking another swig of beer]

1/2 [Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

[ Blink.

Blink.

Stare. ]

[Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

COOOOLLLL!

[Action!!!]

[totallygay]

Ya! It is! Normally.

You know, most people don't take finding out their date is a vampire too well. Ha ha!

[He wraps an arm around America, all smiles. Either America is really gullible and stupid or he's Gullible and ignorant. yay~]

[Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

[ Gullible and ignorant fo sho sob. That and VAMPIRE FASCINATION. ]

A year ago I might've been weirded out, but now it's like I'm meeting werepires left and right and it's okay! A lot has happened and if I can stand to be around a ghost kid without screaming my throat raw, I can handle dating a vampire!

[Action!!!]

[totallygay]

Werepires? Ha ha! I've never heard of that before!

[This was all very reassuring, if Tatsumi actually were a normal person and was worried about things like impressions on a personal level. No, it's all business and game. He leans in close to America's neck, purposely]

Good... because I've been wondering what you taste like.

[Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

[ Hope Tatsumi wasn't expecting some sort of blustering, because America's wearing his usual cocky grin.

And yes, he mentally just said "that's what she said." ]

If the rest of me is anything to go by, I'm gonna guess pretty freaking fantastic.

[Action!!!]

[totallygay]

[No, your mom.]

Does that mean I can take a bite?

[Tatsumi's lips are right against America's neck now while his fingers hold the nation's collar aside]

[Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

[ YOUR FACE. ]

What d'ya think I am? A wuss? Hah! I can take it! Just don't drain me, bro. Need some juice to get back home.

[ officially the weirdest hickey America will ever receive. ]

[Action!!!]

[totallygay]

[Oh no you dinnint!]

Don't worry. I know you have your daughter to get home to. Maybe it'll even help you relax, ya?

[Honestly he planned to drain America but he is about to learn the hard way that plans around America just never work. He brings a hand up to hold America's neck and head while the fangs slid out from behind his teeth. He bites, puncturing the nation's neck and drawing out the crimson liquid.

But the taste Tatsumi gets isn't of the normal red metallic flavoring. No, it's as though someone took a vanilla ice cream, coated it around a hamburger, and blended it with lots and lots of food coloring. He barely drinks a cup worth before pulling away, not sure if he likes it or not. It definitely wasn't what he was expecting. The werepire even leaves a bit of blood around the corner of his mouth as he stares blankly at the nation.

What the hell was that?]

[Action!!!]

[starspangledhero]

[ Now, America isn't a stranger to bleeding. It was only a few months ago that he was wandering around Discedo with his eye stabbed out and asking people "hey who knows how to clean an eyesocket." Even fewer months than that, his heart literally stopped after a bullet punctured an artery. A cup's worth of blood is nothing. Beyond the initial bite, it's hardly even painful! America is so considerate he's letting his werepire date drink his blood. Isn't he considerate? (Not really, but he thinks he is.)

America sighs when Tatsumi pulls away, assuming the vampire's done. A hand comes up to tap at his neck. Would it be impolite to ask for a band aid? He doesn't know vampire etiquette (and why should he care, really) but he doesn't want blood to dribble all over his clothes. Blood is a bitch to get out.

Still holding his neck, he grins at Tatsumi. ]

Awesome, right?

[ You know what? Fuck it. America will lean in and lick that blood off the corner of his mouth, just to see what all the fuss is about.

...It tastes like blood. Wow that was stupid to expect he'd taste anything different. He's not a damn vampire. In fact, that was kinda gross. He still pretends what he tasted was good and not the plan ol' coppery taste he's used to. ]

[Action!!!] *feels so bad about this tag*

[totallygay]

[Tatsumi isn't quite sure how to respond, specially the fuzzy feeling he is feeling through his body. It's like his blood went into overdrive and his body hadn't caught up yet. Holy shit what was going on?

Suddenly there is an America at his lips. He does what any natural person would do and starts kissing. Only this time it's fun and he doesn't know why or even care. Maybe America's mouth would taste like chocolate or coffee or something.]

[Action!!!] LOL DON'T IT'S GLORIOUS

[starspangledhero]

[ Congrats, Tatsumi. You are now tripping AMERICA BLOOD ACID. ...Yes the change in font was necessary. Enjoy your next several hours (or however the blood shit is gonna work) of seeing a vibrant world of melting colors, hallucinating patterns, and generally feeling kickass. It will be awesome, provided you don't get paranoid.

America doesn't realize yet that Tatsumi's on the cusp of a bloody trip. He's a little too preoccupied with the sudden making out. HE IS NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE LEAST.

In fact, he will gladly open his mouth for Tatsumi to explore at his leisure. Luckily for him, it does taste like coffee and... some strange Japanese sweets, since his Japan adventure was probably before this one. Tatsumi, meanwhile, still has America blood on his breath and that's kinda gross but he doesn't especially care. He's too busy making his day WAY BETTER.

MOVE THE FUCK OVER DENMARK, THERE'S A NEW HO IN TOWN. ]

[Action!!!] OMG lmao AMERICA BLOOD ACID

[totallygay]

[No reason to get paranoid, specially with America in your mouth. Tatsumi is just going to continue exploring the nation's mouth and sucking on his tongue a little. He does part a moment, pulling America, or perhaps himself closer. he isn't sure how gravity works anymore. He just goes to lock down America's neck to catch whatever blood lingered behind on the mark he left.

Tatsumi looks as America with a big ol' smile, pupils definitely dilated now, before going back to figuring out all the tastes in America's mouth.]

[Action!!!] THE BEST KIND OF ACID. TASTES LIKE FREEDOM AND YOU HALLUCINATE JUSTICE.

[starspangledhero]

[ May as well make himself comfy. He'll just situate himself in Tatsumi's lap so he doesn't have to crane his (already sore) neck just to kiss.

America notices the dilated pupils, is about to ask, then suddenly there is a tongue right back in his mouth. Okay then. It's probably just a vamp reaction anyway. How the hell would he know, it's his first time with a vampire. He'll just get around to that question eventually. For the moment he's happy enough experimentally running his tongue over Tatsumi's fangs. If he cuts himself it's his own fucking fault.

One last kiss and he pulls away. He grins and lets out a breathy chuckle. ]

Man, if I'd known ya'd react like this, I would've given up the goods sooner!

[ I have no kissing icons so have copious hippies. ]

[Action!!!] JUSTICE IS A BIG GREY AREA FOR TATSUMI... YOU BETTER BE PREPARED!

[totallygay]

[React like wat? Tatsumi laughs, not sure and not really caring. Nothing mattered but is was all good and how could be not be happy? This felt nice, good, great, amazing! Was America in his lap? Hell yes!]

Ya... Your blood is amazing! It's like tasting colors or sweets... like your mouth.

[Tatsumi goes to kiss again but stops, staring at America]

Your glasses...

[Without any further explanation he takes them off and looks at them, putting them on and starts laughing. They were magical glasses, making everything really awesome and colorful and even more 3D than it already was and just too amazing for words so he just laughs and looks around at the room with them.]

... No wonder you're always so cool about everything.

[Action!!!] shit now I have the Lion King stuck in my head.

[starspangledhero]

[ Now, America is clueless about many things, oblivious to even more, and flat-out ignores the rest, but if there's one thing he knows, it's when people are on something. Somehow, he doesn't think this is how vampires normally act when they drink blood. Granted he only has Dracula to go by but still. He cups both of Tatsumi's cheeks, bringing his face to look in his direction.

...and closer because America's eyesight isn't too great without his glasses. ]

Man are you tripping?

[ What a befuddling situation. Did his blood do this to him? What the hell America had that in his body the whole time when he could be tripping out?! DAMN IT.

Whatever blood was on America's fingertips from holding his wound? He is now licking. Fuck the taste HIS LIFEBLOOD IS DRUGS, APPARENTLY. His next reply is pretty rushed in his efforts to clean his hands of the blood acid. ]

I'm just plain cool, dig? Just how I am!

[Action!!!] WTF What song could you possibly have in your head?

[totallygay]

[Yes. Tatsumi is tripping out and enjoying every moment of it. After all, normal drugs won't do shit to him as a werewolf but this? Not only does this prove America is not a normal human who is insane and thinks hes a country but holyfuckinghell HE MUST ACTUALLY BE A COUNTRY!]

Ya! Seems so! Ha ha!

[He only laughs more. Actually, he can't stop laughing. He goes to put on his own shades to see if they're the same but forgets he has America's glasses on already. So, when it fails he just puts his sunglasses on the nation and snickers]

Ya. Your cool.

[Action!!!] BE PREPARED, OF COURSE!

[starspangledhero]

[ Oh god what did I just see. What just happened. America blinks in confusion behind the sunglasses, trying to process what's happening. Fails. Realizes that he just doesn't care because screw it, he's having a good time. He breaks out into a grin, one hand reaching up to toys with Tatsumi's own strange hair. PAYBACK TIME only not. ]

The coolest.

[ It feels like his stomach has dropped, but in a good way. There's a certain sweet familiarity to this situation. It will make the inevitable fall harder, because right now his awful day is forgotten and he's simply happy. So happy. All the happiness is his. Therefore, he presses a happy little kiss to Tatsumi's cheek. ]

Glad you're havin' a blast! Just enjoy the ride, man. It's gonna be a good one.

[Action!!!] ejfgrnthjn HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT?! *listens to*

[totallygay]

[Tatsumi's wiggling hair-ear-things (who knows what they are) stop when touched. However, unlike normal, they try to continue to wiggle after a moment, in America's grasp. Being high certainly has made a rather large hole in his defenses. He doesn't care if America realizes he lied before about not knowing his hair moves or that they're like ears or anything. Actually, it feels great and only prompts him to start cuddling]

Ya! Ya! America is the coolest!

[Holy hell where did this moe come from? Happily giggling and petting America's jacket. It was an amazing jacket and it smelt like America, who smells amazing right now.]

Ya!

[How many times can he say "Ya" in one sitting?]

[Action!!!] Tatsumi is now Scar. Serenade us, Tatsumi.

[starspangledhero]

[ Luckily America has completely forgotten about Tatsumi's hair wiggling lie. Frankly he doesn't care either way. He has too much on his mind as it is to worry about silly hair things. He continues to stroke and play with the ear-hair-whatevertheufucktheyare things absentmindedly while he's cuddled. ]

Wonder how much blood it'd take me to get any effects. Don't think I could handle drinking as much as you did, or anything near it. No offense. I'm just not a vampire.

[ Sigh. FOREVER DOOMED TO BE UNDER NO INFLUENCE. ]
