Her first concern

[tartswithtea]

Hello? Hello!

Oh heavens, the line does work, thank you! Alright, just... give me a moment to gather my barings once again. I'm used to being taken captive on the occasion, but NEVER have I been at peace and found myself swept away--then again, one is welcome to claim that the world really never is at peace. After all, it could just as easily be

Bri-tan!

[That she doesn't remember hasn't registered yet. He's felt so alone lately, especially now that he doesn't even know if any of his friends can be trusted. But she was always kind to him, and he can't help but feel happy.]

You came back!

[tartswithtea]

...Ah, hello, yes, what? ((your joy is excellent, by your words make no sense.))

[supersizedpower]

It's me!

It's really good to hear from you again...even if it sucks you're back...I mean...

[tartswithtea]

Dear, I have no idea who 'Me' is, except that he is a young man who is excited to see me 'back' in a place that I have never been before.

[supersizedpower]

O-oh.

You don't remember?

[tartswithtea]

No? Perhaps? Dear, you're frightening me.

[supersizedpower]

...It's okay.

[But it wasn't. He couldn't help but wonder if she'd even like him this time.]

Um...this is going to sound really weird, but...I'm America. I'm like...a different version of Meriken from another universe. You know?

[tartswithtea]

.....Excuse me, I think my hearing is going. What did you say?

[supersizedpower]

I'm America.

It's really true!

[tartswithtea]

...Meriken, do you have a cold? ((she's just. too confused to be upset with Meriken at the moment.))

[supersizedpower]

No, I'm not Meriken! I'm America!

[tartswithtea]

...Nonsense! Meriken is America!

[supersizedpower]

That's what I'm trying to explain. I'm from a different universe where I'm America and England is a grumpy guy with big eyebrows instead of a nice girl with pigtails.

...If it's confusing, though, forget it. You could call me Alfred, too, if you want.

[tartswithtea]

.... Well, I've never been one to like jumping to conclusions, so I won't say 'nonsense', but I'm not agreeing with you either.

More important things for now, since that'S met a stale mate. You clearly know me, and you clearly know who I am, and... you CLEARLY know what I look like, to which at some extent I could feel a number of negative emotions given the fact that I now only know that you are claiming to be America, and nothing else. A little clarification would be GREATLY appreciated, dear.

We've all been kidnapped to this weird place! And sometimes you were here before, but they wiped your memory of last time. And that happened to you!

[tartswithtea]

....Right then.

....Wait, how do I know this for sure? That you are honest?
