[ When the feed activates there's someone pacing back and forth, his pinkie in his ear and a grimace on his face, muttering something about being violated aurally to himself. After a few seconds of that he turns to sit down square in the video's center - his hair is a little disheveled, and his outfit's pretty basic - a gray tank top and some jeans

[He's heard of people leaving the ship, then coming back with no memories... He hasn't seen Holmes in a while... is this what happened?]

Holmes? What happened? Did you get wormholed-? [Wait, that means he wouldn't remember Canada either...]

Um, I-I'm sorry. I mean, I'll try to help you however I can...

[video]

[built_in_a_cave]

[ ... Second time he's been called Holmes. At first he thought they might be saying it like "yo homes" but now... he's not so sure. ]

I'm not sure what being wormholed means, but it sounds like the kind of thing I don't want done to me.

Besides that, I'm not this Holmes guy.

[perma-video]

[maple_syrup_can]

No? I'm- sorry? [But you look just like him. (Minus the glowey thing in your chest.)]

I'm very sorry! I- I can ...identify with being mistaken for someone else, so I'm really very sorry.

[Okay, deep breath, start over.]

Ah- I'm Canada. It's nice to meet you.

[video forever and ever]

[built_in_a_cave]

You're not the first, don't sweat it. I just want to see this guy I apparently look like.

[ He shrugs it off - Tony's not an easy guy to offend anyway. ]

... Canada. You were named after a country?

[maple_syrup_can]

I- I'm sure he'll be contacting you soon... [There's no way he wouldn't.]

[And... ah, another person from some permutation of Earth.]

I am Canada. I'm a... personification of the country, I guess you could say... at least, that's the easiest way to explain it. [Never had to explain it before coming to the Thor. *sigh*]

[built_in_a_cave]

I can hardly contain my anticipation.

[ But he's... kind of caught up on that second bit. ]

You're Canada.

You're... Canada.

So, I guess you must have found a bar already.

[ Dude thinks he's Canada, he must be wasted. ]

[maple_syrup_can]

Mmm? Well, I really just know about one pub... But what does that have to do with being Canada? I'm not France...

[built_in_a_cave]

So if you're Canada, can I be America?

*legit lost it XD*

[maple_syrup_can]

[Canada just... blinks at you for a moment. He then laughs a little (it is quite funny.)]

I- I'm afraid not? My brother is already here... But if you are American, I'm certain that he will be happy to meet you.

*bows*

[built_in_a_cave]

What about Cuba? Ghana? Hell, I'll be Aruba.

*applause*

[maple_syrup_can]

[Canada gives a start at the mention of Cuba. (...At least Granada isn't one of the ones he listed... haha...]

I'm sorry. I- I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. We just are who we are.

[built_in_a_cave]

[ After Aruba he almost started going down the list of tropical destinations as listed in the song Kokomo, but thought better of it. ]

Antarctica? Has someone already called dibs on Antarctica?

[ Yeah he's just trolling, now. ]

[maple_syrup_can]

... eh?
A-actually, no... b-but like I said, it doesn't work that way?

[built_in_a_cave]

It does now. I'm Antarctica. I even have a South Pole, it's perfect.

[maple_syrup_can]

It... doesn't work that way? [And totally not getting the South Pole joke, sorry.
Canada then just blinks at the man for a moment again - he hadn't said his name yet, and now... was he going to insist on being called Antartica?]

Sorry... Um, I'm sorry, but I had interrupted you from you introducing yourself...

[built_in_a_cave]

[ He almost introduces himself as Tony Antstarktica, but... nah, he just waves a hand. ]

Don't sweat any of that. I'm on a spaceship shaped like a turtle that's hurtling through space after the world apparently ended. If you want to be called Canada, that's the least of my worries.

Call me Tony.
