[ America looks completely drained. Now that he doesn't have to keep his (questionable concept of) sanity anymore, everything he's been holding off for the past few days is taking its toll. Oh yeah, his facial expression might not exactly be the first thing you notice. And of course you know why.
It's because he's drenched in blood.
That's not an exaggeration. He's covered in it, even his face and hair. This is why your parents tell you not to run around the pool. You will fall. ]
It's not mine. I'm not fine, but not hurt. I don't wanna explain right now. I'm spending the night in.
[ He sighs and rubs his eye with the heel of his palm. You can probably hear a shower running in the background. ]
As soon as Namine's done washing it off her, I'm taking a scrub and going to bed. Might not be out for a while, unless the city falls into a new peril and needs a hero, 'course.
...Everyone else okay? Everyone in the city. Pretty sure no one's making it outta wherever we were without something fucked up. Man I'm tired.
[ Another shaky sigh, and the camera shakes violently as he moves to turn it off. He mutters something as he does, more to himself than anyone else. ]
I don't wanna think.

[ Her voice strained to find the words, letting out a few small 'uhs' here and there. ]
Y-yeah... For the most part.
no subject
[ America's too drained to scream, or even be scared anymore. It's like he had a major serotonin crash. ]
no subject
Do... do you guys need anything? I mean...
[ Liz was feeling kind of stuck for words. Asking if he was alright would be stupid in this situation. ]
no subject
[ He sighs. It's never easy when it's so obvious that someone isn't alright. America wishes he was, but. The space kinda fucked him up a bit. ]
Time, mostly. Sleep. Food. I think I just need to wallow for a while. Get back into a routine where I don't have to think about it anymore.
no subject
[ It didn't sound too healthy to her, but... Liz wasn't about to challenge it either.
A country must have it's own way of coping with hard times, right? ]
I'll see what I can do about the food. The next time I go over to the soup kitchen, I'll try to bring something extra over for you and Namine.
no subject
Thanks, I really appreciate it, Liz. I literally haven't eaten for days, so now my stomach's all numb and hates me. And this time it's not even for a good cause.
no subject
[ She jokes. There's no telling what she'll end up with, but at least America doesn't sound like someone who would argue about the taste about now.
Still, the encouragement has to help. She doesn't like seeing him brooding like this. ]
No problem.
