[He's struggling with a bucket filled to the brim with water, his face a mask of pure determination. There are smears of ash across his cheeks and hands. He knows it's not much but he has a lot of people and animals to protect and the fire really hurts

... [steps out to investigate and quickly covers nose]

You smell like you stepped out of a fire.

Um, welcome to HQ? It seems most people don't know how they got here!

[liltassiedevil]

[Turns towards the source of the voice. Wipes his head with his hand managing to smear the ash thicker and losing precious water from the bucket in the process.]

That's because I’ve been fighting a fire all day It hasn’t really been working though...There's not a lot of water around...

HQ? [He looks back at the building. He likes the outdoors much better thank you very much] What exactly is that?

[taipeiblossom]

Really?

A building with lots of people in it. And rooms. Maybe it's a strange apartment building... I don't know, honestly.

[liltassiedevil]

Yeah…

Oh, okay. [Well, that explains why it’s so huge] …What’s an apartment building?

*standing there with a 'O.o' expression on his face*

[liltassiedevil]

[Australia hasn't noticed you just yet. He's scowling up at the building and cursing under his breath.]

[ooc: You have icons! Care to share your source?]

[youatemydingo]

*still staring like wtf*

[ooc: Mostly from dA and LJ. If you ask around, most people are happy to let you use their stuff as icons as long as you credit them :)]

[liltassiedevil]

[Stops swearing for a moment to catch his breath and finally sees you.]

G'day...[He stops to correct himself, starts again.] Good day. [See England, he can use proper English. He just likes shortening it to suit his own purpose.]

Are you alri- [His eyes widen slightly and he almost drops the bucket on his foot. It's only half full now.]You? [He's kind of transfixed on your eyebrows now: just like his, just like England's.]

You're one of England's brothers too!

[belgiqueroyaume]

[ Staring. Tilts her head a little, then shuffles over and taps him on the head. ]

Bonjour. You look and sound lost.

[liltassiedevil]

[Looks up at you. He should really give up on the bucket: some more water sloshes over the side. Tries to recall what bonjour means. He knows he's heard it before when that French guy visited, but it's not coming to him so he gives up]

Hello! [He flashes a smile] Yeah, I'm a bit lost. I was fighting this gigantic fire and then suddenly I was here.

[ooc: sorry for the late reply. I was called for family time orz.]

[belgiqueroyaume]

A fire, huh? Well, you're safe here now, so you can do away with that bucket. You're wasting the water anyways.

[ She pats the kid on the head and sighs, rather worried where he'd appeared from. After all, some people were really effected by culture shock like that pirate she met, who blew up the electronics and called them devil boxes. ]

[ ooc: haaa, it's alright. I was sleeping because I am weaaaaak. ]

[liltassiedevil]

I suppose.

[He’s not going to let the bucket go so easily though: water’s precious. He lets you pat his head the first few times before ducking out of the way. He’s not that little anymore.]

[gldencterpillr]

W-waaah, t-there's no reason to shout, sir!

[liltassiedevil]

[Freezes at the sir. No-one calls him sir. Not ever the governors.]

Sorry. [smiles awkwardly. He didn't mean to upset you.]

Ah, Hi! I'm Australia! Who are you? [Despite being completely lost, the exuberance is still there. It's nice to see another kid around. Usually it's just him and New Zealand.] Do you know much about this 'HQ place? that girl was talking about?'

[gldencterpillr]

[Well he seems to be a nice and polite lad...] My name is Arthur! Arthur Kiiirkland! And yoooours?

I...I don't know very much about that place, b-but I think fairies built it!... oh, and it's the year 2009 here!

[liltassiedevil]

[You lost him at Arthur. If you hadn't mentioned faeries he probably wouldn't believe a word you just said.]

2009? But it was just 1851 a moment ago! [No way. Big versions of him, little versions of England? What was with this place?]

[before_redsnow]

Eep! *hides behind wall*

[liltassiedevil]

[Peeks behind the wall at you and smiles. He seems to be scaring quite a few people. He never thought he was scary.] Hello!

[before_redsnow]

Um, hello... *peers up at him cautiously*

[liltassiedevil]

[He waves, trying to balance the bucket with one hand] I’m Australia! [His smile grows a little wider.] What’s your name?
