Right, SO. Let me get this straight.
A shit ton of people left for like no reason--?

I mean, that's what it kind of sort of sounds like. Does this happen a lot? [ GUESS WHO HAS BEEN HERE SINCE MARCH AND HASN'T NOTICED THIS. Well, he's noticed people going home, but it just occurred to him that people leave all together sometimes! ]

Well, that's

...Excuse me while I try to wrap my head about this for a moment.

You're a country.

[starstripedhero]

[ Oh! He hasn't met this person yet. Smiling wide, he contrasts great with his mood earlier. ]

Hahaha! Yep. Man. Where have you been all this time?
[ he hates explaining this, but he knows it happens a lot. ]

[stubborn_throes]

I'm tempted to feel weary about taking your word for it as that makes a lot less sense than I find myself comfortable with.

I spend most of my time at the Library.

[starstripedhero]

Ehhhh? The Library? Hahaha! So you like to read! I went to the Library once to find comic books, but there weren't too many, so I just wished for a shit ton and that was cool.

HEY. What is your name anyway? I'm America! Maybe you can help me research and stuff about this place. How long have you been here?

[ yeah he's avoiding that country conversation. ]

[stubborn_throes]

You're...America. Right then. I'm sure you'll find solace in the fact that I'm an American myself.

Rose Lalonde. My time here has been just over a month. I've been looking into some sort of history of this place but haven't come up with much information.

[starstripedhero]

YOU'RE AMERICAN. Hahahaha! I knew it!
Rose, though. I've never heard of you! Then again, I have heaps and heaps of citizens, heh heh.

[ nope this isn't awkward conversation at all. ]

But HEY. If calling me America is kind of weird for you to do, I'll go by Alfred! [ TAH DAH Hollywood style wink and smile. ]

---Oh, so you have been reading! I tried to read and find out stuff too, but there weren't many pictures, so-- uh-- yeah.

[stubborn_throes]

[THIS IS SO WEIRD WHAT EVEN]

...Yes, you're definitely America. [Eyeroll.]

[starstripedhero]

Absolutely positively! From my world at least! You may just be my citizen in an alternate world where I don't exist!
Hahhaa! I discovered this after being here since March! It's all pretty mind blowing..
Just think! All this time scientists have been talking about alternate universes and if they exist and this is ACTUAL PROOF!

Dude, man. I nearly shat bricks. It was awesome.

Typically, we're not supposed to tell our citizens who we are-- what we are-- because we're not really human! You SEE...
[ america you're supposed to be avoiding this convo OH MAN LOOK AT HIM TALK so fast.. ]

We have human names! I'm actually 235 years old because I kind of went through a somewhat of a rebirth after the American Revolution when I lost my title of a colony--

[ a BREATH. ]

A lot of people don't believe it! But I'm really just the embodiment of America! The actual land mass is very much connected to me in a way! I guess.. I'm the spirit of America..

[ a beat. ]

At least in my world!

[ He sounds SO CONFIDENT...... oh man he's been through

[stubborn_throes]

I already considered myself a firm believer, and already had it confirmed for me prior to my arrival at Splendor.

[Blinkblink.] The Spirit of America? [She cracks her neck.] Just more absurdity I'll have to accept.

Nice to meet you, America.

[starstripedhero]

[ a bit of shock. ]

Woahhhh. Really? Firm believer? Hahaha! You're a smart girl then!
You're.. Rose, you said? You and I should totally combine forces and figure out shit together! Like you're my sidekick and I'm the superhero! What do you say?

[stubborn_throes]

Thanks but...I say I think I understand why the majority of the world mutters unpleasant things under their breath...[Er, yeah. Huge sweatdrop.]

[starstripedhero]

[ He purses his lips, curious. ]

What ya mean by that? I'm talking about figuring this place out! Why we're here and all sorts of stuff like that!

[stubborn_throes]

[She dismisses it with a handwave.]

You can feel free to consider me your ally. I strive only towards the truth, I have little discrepancies in accordance to blinding myself towards things like morality in this situation.

None too alarming yet in this case. I'm saving those reservations for only the most dire.
