Huh, what's this room? [Alfred peeks his head through a door, then realizing it's a REALLY NICE HOUSE (or at least looks like one as far as he can tell) he yanks his hand off the doorway trying not to get dirt on it. Oh shit, this place looks kinda classy.] ... Hello? Anyone here?

[Hm, we'll just step on through for a quick look-see! Only, as

[ Oh well. This is certainly nostalgic, in a way. This America looks about like Aaron's own when he had first appeared in 1787. He just watches the other a moment, before stepping closer. ]

Tha doors do that sometimes.

[ingreatdeeds]

[ It's the general opinion you spoiled him kinda rotten, Al. Aside that, yeah, did pretty good. ] There's no need ta worry. I would've had it any other way~ [ Yeeah, luckily Aaron is awesome at pretending things don't exist and just skirting around questions. ]

[latchkeycolony]

I'd totally hug you but, uh. [COVERED IN DIRT AND GRASS STAINS.]

[ingreatdeeds]

[ Aaron gives a laugh. He doesn't wear his uniform often anymore, and he's never cared about getting dirty. So he gives Alfred a hug himself. ]

It's just dirt, it'll wash out anyway.

[latchkeycolony]

[YESSSS, hugs are the best thing ever!] True! Some people get kinda fussy, though!

[ingreatdeeds]

[ And Aaron can give good hugs when he's so inclined~ Though long hugs are a little awkward so he lets go, ruffling Alfred's hair a bit. ] Never really understood why they git so fussy, it ain't li'e a lil dirt's gonna hurt 'em.

[latchkeycolony]

[Al laughs at the hair ruffling, but it's clear he likes it.] Maybe they have a secret weakness to it, like it's poison.

[ingreatdeeds]

[ Oh brother, why couldn't you stay so cute? You'd be so much easier to handle like this. ] That would explain some thangs. Anyway, is there anythang else ya wanna know 'bout HQ?

Need a room, too, come ta think of it.

[latchkeycolony]

A room? Would I get to wash up? I feel a little bad trackin' dirt everywhere. Haha.

[ingreatdeeds]

Yeah, most room's have their own wash rooms with 'em.

[latchkeycolony]

Whoa, fancy! [Just wait until he discovers modern plumbing.] I'll follow you, lead the way.

[ingreatdeeds]

Ya've no idea. [ This is going to be interesting. ] A'ight.

[ And he heads off down a hallway, knowing Alfred will follow. ] Li'e I said, it's 'posed ta be 2011 here, so thangs are...diff'rent.

[latchkeycolony]

Different like how? [Alfred trots along after him, he's not QUITE at his full height yet. 2011 is just so far into the future for him that it's hard to even fathom. A week is a long time as far as Alfred is concerned if we were being perfectly honest.]

[ingreatdeeds]

From what I understand it's meant ta be more convenient 'n such, but it's really nothin' li'e either of our time periods. Li'e...ya know electricity, that stuff Ben Franklin discovered? It's used nearly everywhere. [ He isn't sure if that's before or after this America's time, but only one way to find out. Otherwise just showing works, Aaron tended to kinda fail at explaining things with his habit of getting a bit ahead of himself. ]

[latchkeycolony]

[Ben Franklin hasn't actually even been born yet when Alfred is from, but he files the name into his memory to try and keep an ear out for someone with that name because it sounds BADASS.] Ahaha, whoa, promise not to laugh at me if I freak out too much then?

[ingreatdeeds]

Don' worry, I won' laugh. [ That you can see. But of course Aaron leaves that little detail out, stopping once he reaches a hall of rooms. ]

Ya can pick any that ain't already taken, so 'bout any door that's unlocked. HQ has this lil quirk that if ya 'magine what ya want tha room ta look li'e 'fore ya do, that's what it'll be.
