[A whimper can be heard off-screen as the communicator flickers on, but there's a heavy breath before England flickers onto screen. He's actually topless, but he looks pale as anything and actually looks a bit clammy, if the lighting shows it off enough.
You might see the reason of this one he steps to the side a little, showing his arm; it looks ( Read more... )

....H-Hong Kong? When... When did you get hear?
[Great, he's seeing daddy all injured. What a nice sight. However, he shakes his head.]
No, France is weird. But this isn't him. There's only so much self depreciating that he'll do to himself, and this is just plain insulting.

[ ... ] Kinda good to know. About France, I mean.

...N-No, I'm fine! I-I just got bitten, that's all! Just ran into a bit of trouble, nothing to worry about--
Last week... I.. I'd been stuck in a ditch with America for the last two weeks---
[Gosh he's missed so much. His expression settles.]
What's good to know? That is isn't him, or that he's egotistical enough to the point I'd know how much he'd make fun of himself?

Bitten. [ Lineface level nine. ] Yeah, America told me about the ditch. Or I saw his announcement. [ His tone seems to imply 'what's up with that guy anyway.' ]
I think both. Probably.

Yes. Just a bite.
And America's from 1969. He's going to be more paranoid and... hippyish, than he is from the present -- um, if you're from 2011, that is.
[Okay, now he looks weary. What if Hong Kong's still from a time where he's still under England's rule? That'd just be a bit... awkward.]
...E-Eh.. where are you, anyway?
Reply
[ Hm, he hadn't thought of that, re: America. Maybe it explained some things. ]
Yeah, it's 2011 at home. For you too then? [ He looks up at something, most likely a crack in the ceiling or some other fascinating thing that keeps him from looking at the screen. ] That's good, I guess.
Me? I'm in Discedo.

He seems relieved.]
Yes, June 2011...
Discedo? I'm guessing it's much more safe than when I arrived? Unfortunately, I'm in Dissumulo.

It was July, at home.
I think it must be safer. That's the impression I get anyway. [ He shrugs just barely, not dismissive, but more confused than anything else. ] "Unfortunately?"
Reply
Well, if you can live there, it must be. It was a fallout zone when I arrived.
[... Crap, he hadn't meant to slip out with that. He retracts back a little.]
... U-Uh, nevermind. I-I just mean that we're all getting spread apart, and it would be much more effective for us to be grouped together, and--
Reply
Yeah, because of that bomb, right? [ ... ] You wanna come back here or something?
Reply
Yeah. Uh, not neccessarily, I just... it'd be best if we were all together.

China's here. I guess you knew that though, right?
Reply
... No. Last I was aware, he was in Dissumulo with me. Nevermind. I'm sure you'll be fine on your own.

[ Brief pause while we let that sink in. ] You don't have to worry though, I won't do anything reckless either way.

I'm not worrying. Who says I'm worrying? What is there to worry about? I'm not worrying.
