*And so comes the question he's been wondering for months*

HOW CAN ANYONE FUNCTION AROUND HERE WITHOUT SCOTCHTAPE?!?

*Nailing things on the wall, sure, he can deal, but you can't nail labels on things, especially food items*

((OOC: Yeah, I don't even...))

[Shizuo is, in this moment, realizing that he might just have an unstable roommate.]

Oi... What's the yelling for?

[beef_and_dreams]

*America glances over then- oh, he hadn't realized someone else had been in the apartment*

Ah....did you know how vital something like scotch tape is? Or duct tape- man I'd kill for some duct tape!

[kingshizuchan]

[Craaaazy roommate. Though Shizuo doesn't seem to be reacting that much.]

Vital? Ah... I suppose it's been pretty useful. They don't have any at the general store?

[beef_and_dreams]

Dude do you know what you can do with duct tape?! -anyway I don't know, haven't seen any unless they've been holding out on me.

[kingshizuchan]

Hold your guts in, if wrapped around? Ah, I suppose most things could do that, though... If it's been around for more than a century in my time, it could be around.

[Fun fact: On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, James Marsters once received an injury while doing one of his own stunts. Out of fear that Joss wouldn't let him perform his own stunts again, he duct taped them closed to continue on with the stunt. After being caught bleeding through the duct tape, he got one of those 'you idiot' sighs and went to get everything cleaned up and repaired.]

[beef_and_dreams]

Hey, I wouldn't rule that one out!

...but this is 1953.... Wait, when did we get that stuff...? *He thinks*

((OOC: Pfffff wow.))

[kingshizuchan]

Ah...

Before 1950?

[Shizuo wasn't the knowledge buff. Too busy getting angry and throwing desks, or fridges.]

[beef_and_dreams]

Yeah, a little bit before. A lotta stuff happened between then and 2000, but I'm sure it was around wartime... Which...wouldn't be that long here.... But maybe hey didn't invest in making duct tape.

...which kinda sucks.

[kingshizuchan]

Maybe it's in military storage?

[beef_and_dreams]

....hey! That's possible! I'll ask the guys at the barracks the next time I check in for work.

[kingshizuchan]

Yeah. They'll tell you?

[beef_and_dreams]

Sure! They aren't all bad! Some of 'em are even my former citizens- or related to them!

*...which...makes him a little sad to have to say, but any time he can reminisce with people about better times and a part of history he actually was familiar with even in this place is better than not being remembered at all*

[kingshizuchan]

Ah...

[Nope, not clicking with the 'former citizen' thing.]

President?

[beef_and_dreams]

Eh? *Blink* -country!

[kingshizuchan]

[He's giving you such a flat look, America. Which would be easier to tell if he showed more than a handful of expressions, but WHELP.]

. . . Country.

[beef_and_dreams]

Yep! I am America, after all!
