[Filtered from England. So hard.]

Alright, so... Ugh, never needed to do anythin' like this back home... So, there's this party my mate Scout's throwin', and I sorta need a date. Like, it's well important that I get one. So, if there's any girls-- or guys, I ain't picky-- who wouldn't mind... Y'know, I'll be here.

[And by that he means he'll be

Any luck so far?

[numanstan]

Yeah, I'm goin' with Bri-tan. Y'should come, too! It's gonna be a fun party!

[not_oflegend]

Bri-tan? That's an interesting name...

I guess I wouldn't mind going. When is it?

[numanstan]

Y'know, like Britain. She's the girl England!

Sometime this weekend-- don't think a real date's been set yet. Sure it'll be announced over the phones, though.

[not_oflegend]

Oh. So she's one of those country people.

Well, I'll keep an ear out for it. Why exactly was it so important to find a date?

[numanstan]

Yeah... D'y'think they're really countries? I mean, I've seen loads of weird stuff in my life, but that's... somethin' special.

'Cause England was makin' fun 'cause he's got a date and I didn't! I told him it's only 'cause he's been here longer and I hadn't gotten the chance to ask anyone... It's mostly just to show him up. That's mostly why I do anythin' 'round here.

[not_oflegend]

Who knows? There's really no proof one way or the other.

Wait. There are two Englands?

[numanstan]

Yeah, there's Bri-tan-- she's the girl England-- and there's England, who's a guy. Dunno what the difference is 'sides that-- Bri's a bit cooler, though, and England's from the sixties.

[not_oflegend]

Huh...Can't say I've run into either of them yet, so I'll take your word on it.

[numanstan]

They're alright, those two. They'll be at the party, 'course, so y'can meet 'em there!

... Word of advice, though: If England starts actin' odd, just nod and try changin' the subject. Makes it easier.

[not_oflegend]

Odd how?

[numanstan]

Like... Insistin' he's got loads of friends and that he's well popular, even when y'didn't say anythin' 'bout that. Things like that. It gets well annoyin' sometimes, but he's alright, 'sides that.
