[ 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!

... Soon, then.

[JAPAN CAN ROLL WITH THAT. But stop your obscure references or I demand a chat log. He glances down an alley or something with a frown.]

He is not here, it seems, then. How long ago, I wonder...

[starspangledhero]

[ ohgod PESTER ME ABOUT IT TOMORROW and then I can hate myself a little more (or little less) amidst my finals. Anyway. Back to the bloody situation.

The obvious way to answer this question is to cautiously toe the bloody pool. Ew. ]

Well it ain't dry, but it seems kinda coagulated. Some time in the last few hours, at least. He said he'd be stronger once his chip was out, but I wonder if he got faster too.

[ America doesn't seem too perturbed by this, nor does he see WHY IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BAD IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE TO ASK TO HAVE TATSUMI'S CHIP TAKEN OUT. ]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[PERHAPS AFTER YOUR FINALS. But gross stop doing that. He looks up to the roof of a building.]

Surely he would know of these sorts of risks... [thinking to himself out loud.]

Strength? Was anything else warned for?

[starspangledhero]

What risks?

[ He's only half paying attention. Too busy looking around for more blood puddles. ]

He can heal faster? Um... don't think there's anything else. Didn't hear anything about an aversion to sunlight.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah... the dangers of removing his chip. A person like him would surely realize what he is capable of.

[Which is a bit troubling. Why did he need his chip out?]

I see.

[starspangledhero]

[ Suddenly feeling the need to be a bit defensive!! ]

I didn't know I was gonna turn into a kid when I got mine out! And Denmark was a sheep. Sometimes, these things happen! I just wanted him to be okay, after he... died.

[ Because America is too rough in bed? ]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

That is different... [But he drops it.]

It is fine. I am sure things will be dealt with once he is found.

[starspangledhero]

Dealt with...? I guess.

[ Well great, now he looks troubled too. ]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Please do not take such negative meanings to my words. [frowning at him]

We have a plan. Keep that in mind.

[starspangledhero]

It's a little hard not to. Just with everything going on. I know, keep up hope, and I am! But... there's been kids hurt, one of 'em American. Wondering if there's anything I could've done different.

[ He nods, looking a little absent-minded. ]

We should keep looking.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Japan actually moves and puts a hand on the side of America's arm, near his shoulder. It's supposed to be reassuring. But he's glancing away, because some recent events make him double guess this whole physical contact thing..]

Let us move forward, then.

[starspangledhero]

[ Aww. Well he appreciates the effort! He's trying to signal this, but what are you doing, glancing away. How can you see his grateful smile like that. YOU CAN'T. So he's bend down and stare at Japan until the other country looks at him. Drilling holes into Japan with his eyes until he turns around. ]

Yeah.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[He looks back to see that...

And only gets embarrassed. PLEASE IGNORE AS HE BLUSHES, THEN FROWNS, THEN TURNS TO MOVE IN A DIRECTION.]

T-this way, then.

[starspangledhero]

[ JUST BUSTING OUT INTO A HUGE GRIN oh Japan, you so silly. And following Japan while keeping a vigilant eye out for the werepire. ]

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Embarrassing!!!

I assume they'll keep searching with no luck today... How worrying.]

[starspangledhero]

[ Yet soon the ultimate showdown will go down.

SOON. ]
