itp- tower of babel revisited

[fuckyou_chorus]

[There's a distant "BANG" and suddenly, you may find you can't quite understand your neighbors as well as you used to.]

((Camp translator broke again! You can only speak in your native tongue. Put your language in the subject line!
Edit: If your character speaks more than one language, feel free to cheat! JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT♥))

It's the scientist!

[theskyenceguy]

...It's you.

[SO EXCITED, okay no, not really]

[me_fuckyeah]

Looks like the translator's broke! So, I guess we're stuck speaking to only people who speak English for awhile.

[theskyenceguy]

Huh. At least there's a lot of us.

[me_fuckyeah]

Well, duh. There are a lot of Americans in Camp!

Anyway, what's your name again? I don't think I ever got it.

[theskyenceguy]

Detective Ema Skye. Also, people besides Americans speak English, you know.

[me_fuckyeah]

I'm America!

And so? There are still lots of Americans in camp, and some English speaking aliens.

[theskyenceguy]

Your parents must have been pretty patriotic. ...Aliens?

[me_fuckyeah]

It's not--

[he seems to consider something for a second]

It's not patriotic! I'm America, as in the United States of.

And there are aliens here, you can ask 'em.

[theskyenceguy]

Are you trying to tell me you're the President or something?

[me_fuckyeah]

Of course not! He's my boss.

[theskyenceguy]

Oh, so you work in the White House.

[me_fuckyeah]

... No.

I'm a country.

[theskyenceguy]

...What?

[me_fuckyeah]

Yeah, you know! The spirit of the country! That's what I am!
