[ America sounds out of breath, which is not something that is easily combined with "absolutely hysterical." Like, you can barely tell if he's screaming or sobbing. Not unusual given that his little werepire boyfriend is now eating half the city! Except the reaction isn't exactly expected. ]

O-okay, okay so, I know there's a lot of things bein' said about Tatsumi and... a-and I know, since there's blood and all, and he's gone missing- it's not all his fault-!

I'M SORRY I GAVE HIM RABIES!

I KNEW AND I WASN'T SAFE! I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS AN STD! O-or that you could get it from drinking blood but I guess- AND NOW THAT HE'S GOT THE CHIP OUT IT'S ALL IN HIS BRAIN AND HE'S RUNNING AROUND ALL RABID AND HE'S BITING PEOPLE, ISN'T HE? I'M GONNA FIX IT DON'T WORRY I'LL FIX IT! HANG ON TATSUMI, I'LL SAVE YOU FROM THE RABIES!

USE PROTECTION. DON'T GIVE YOUR PARTNER RABIES!

[ He coughs, sniffles, tries to take a breath. ]

B-but don't worry everyone, I'll get this fixed! I'll catch him! J-just don't go around with a stake or silver bullets or anything, okay?! Because he's just sick! And I can cure him! I'm the hero, I'll save everyone.

...Meanwhile, ya'll should get some shots!

... Ah, perhaps you should avoid watching so many movies.

Locate him, at the least. Until I am fully aware of the situation, I cannot say what the solution would be. ...Ah, but in a place where death does little, I am... nearly certain it can be avoided.

[starspangledhero]

If anything, I should watch more movies, because they're proving to be pretty important!

I can... I can take him down and not hurt him. Need to chain him up though, until I can cure him and he calms down!

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[A sigh as he ignores that first part. Oh America.]

...Cure him? How can America-san cure him? [...] Ah, but that does seem to be a more peaceful option...

[starspangledhero]

Burgers, love, and a shitton of meds!

[ FLAWLESS PLAN. ]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Trying so hard not to look visibly distressed at America's 'cure'...]

W-we shall see...

[starspangledhero]

So you'll help me?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Of course. This is a rather dangerous situation, and I can understand that America-san must be upset.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah...

You don't hate me, right?! It was an accident! Giving him rabies! Oh, and don't hate him either, it's like... some things around here, bad things happen and make even good people do bad things, y'know?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I do not hate America-san.

And I am merely an acquaintance of his, though this behavior does seem strange compared to before... I do not expect you to hate him. It may be a misunderstanding.

[starspangledhero]

Good. I know it'd be easier for you now since you're... you know. But I'm glad you don't. 'Cause I'm gonna need some friends now.

Yeah! I know he's not like this! Man, he won't even bite me without asking first. He's gotta be really really sick or something if he's biting other people!

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...We have a promise, America-san. I can respect that no matter the time period.

[Some thoughtful silence.]

Ah, that... I wonder.

[starspangledhero]

Yeah, ah... good.

Wonder what?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...

This situation is simply odd. Shall I simply search for him, for now?

[starspangledhero]

Yeah. Once we find him, I've got some idea how to subdue him. Think you can chain him while I do that?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I could do that.

[starspangledhero]

Good. And no matter what happens to me, just keep going. I'll be fine!

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...That goes without saying, but that seems a bit ominous. What is America-san planning?

[starspangledhero]

If I tell ya, you might try and stop me or something, even though I know it's gonna work. Be all "surely there is another way America-san! desu!"

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

That is hardly reassuring!

[starspangledhero]

Yeah, but now you don't know what to do to stop me!

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

A-America-san!

[starspangledhero]

What? I just want things to go as smoothly as possible! And I don't want ya to worry or anything.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

If you were attempting to avoid worry, do not mention such things at all. [sigh]

I will trust you. I have helped America-san from a close call in the past, so I will be ready to do the same if necessary.

[starspangledhero]

You... trust me? [ †∆† ]

So if I tell ya the plan, you won't freak out, right?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Oh my god such a cute icon. ...At that voice, Japan is sort of embarrassed. SO JUST A FROWNY SIDEGLANCE don't ask so bluntly like that.]

...Yes. Should I not? [and then at the second part] Ah... I will do my best not to. I trust that America-san knows how to deal with this.
