001. ➠ [Arrival]

[wildmapleleaf]

Oh, for the love of--- don't tell me I somehow made a wrong turn! I know this building by heart already. If I don't get to the meeting room, they're going to start without me (again). Dammit, I even set up my alarm to go off earlier, I shouldn't be panicking

America...England...Whatever you call yourself. Stop playing around. I already told you. I don't believe you're two different people! well three now

[wildmapleleaf]

(N-not again.) No, sir, I'm not them, I'm Canada.

Wait, but you know who they are? (Never seen such a nation like you before...)

[skater_lynx]

....This is a new act Amerigland~ You're actually being nice. Canada? Sure~

Of course I know who you are. I know who most of you crazy nation people are. Duh~ So how long are you going to play dumb?

[wildmapleleaf]

Nice, huh? Sound about right...but, yes, honestly! I am Canada. I mean, yes, I live next to America, and I was a colony under England for quite a while, but that's in the past.

Crazy nations...there are more here? Ah, humor me for a while, eh? Who else is here, and what exactly is here?

1/idek placeholder ftw

[idkmybfftony]

You sound lost? Well, that's because you just arrived! But that's okay, since I'm the hero I am here and I will help you get reoriented! I-

2/?

[idkmybfftony]

...Wait, did you say 'G8'? How are you getting into the G8? Only nations attend the G8!

3/?

[idkmybfftony]

[Wait for it. Waait for it.]

[idkmybfftony]

[Icon appropriate.]

[helena_campbell]

G8? You're a country, then? Which one?

...A polar bear. No, I don't think there are any around here. [She says this in an amused sort of way.]

[wildmapleleaf]

Yes, I am! I am the nation of Canada. [Rather proud to be noticed, thanks ♥]

That's not good. I don't remember him wandering off, considering he was in my arms not even a few seconds ago. He couldn't have gone far off.

If you don't mind ma'am, could you tell me where we are?

[helena_campbell]

I'm Helena Campbell. There are a lot of other nations here already, they're all pretty much settled. There must be almost a dozen by now.

You have a pet polar bear? [Now she doesn't know if he's pulling her leg.] That's sort of... odd.

Really. It's not ma'am. Just Helena.

Well, we're in Wonderland. Uhm... It'll be a lot easier to explain if you've read the book, Alice in Wonderland? One of England's books.

[wildmapleleaf]

It's my pleasure, Miss -- er, Helena. I am Matthew Williams, but Matthew is fine. [Offers a friendly smile.] A dozen nations? All of them here?

That's right. His name is Kumajirou. [Though he's not sure why it's so odd.] If you saw him, you'd keep him too. His whiskers and the way he wrinkles his nose are simply adorable. ...Kumajirou? [Looks around again.]

Wonderland, eh? Yeah, I remember that book. Arthur would read it every now and then.

[hurricanebomber]

The G8?

Which nation are you?

[wildmapleleaf]

Yeah, that's right.

[Beams] The nation of Canada. Pleased to meet you. (This is my first time not recognizing a nation though...)

[hurricanebomber]

Nice to meet you, too, Canada. My name's Gokudera. I'm not a nation, but there are lots of them here.

[wildmapleleaf]

Oh, you're not?! I'm so sorry then, for the mistake, Mr. Gokudera. I had thought I was heading for a meeting with them. Apparently, this is not that place.

I've been hearing this is "Wonderland"?

[fleeingcurses]

Polar bear.

Oh, haha. Another creative jab as usual. Where do you come up with these?

[wildmapleleaf]

Not so much a jab as a straight, but in all seriousness, yes, a polar bear.

[fleeingcurses]

If you're going to keep trying to harass me, do your research. There are as many polar bears in populated Russia as there are bona fide Communists.

[wildmapleleaf]

Well, yeah, the Cold War was a while back. We even celebrated the anniversaty of fall of the Berlin Wall recently. I have no intentions of harrassing you, I just want to find my bear.
