As I'm sure most have probably heard, I'm awake now. I'm really sorry to those I might have worried, especially with Kumajirou's little message a while back. I'd come visit everyone, but I'm kind of under, well-meaning but still annoying, house arrest at the moment.

I CAN GO TO THE BATHROOM BY MYSELF AMERICA!If anyone wants to visit though, I,

Oh, well, I s'pose people will believe what they want, in the end -- and disbelieve what they want, too, at that. Really, really, if someone doesn't want to believe their own nose is they're, it's like they'll just ignore it. Maddening, isn't it? Like you and everyone else can see something plain as day and someone else just ignores it altogether! Still! Anthropomorphic personifications, really! Of countries! Brilliant, I have to say, simply brilliant -- even I've never heard of anything quite like it! Well. Yes I have, but-- ...Which one are you, then? America? Seem a bit calm, though, really, for an American...

[maplemaple]

B-Brilliant?

Ah, no. I'm Canada actually. Who are you?

[abitmoresonic]

Quite! It does make you wonder, though, doesn't it? What next? States, counties, regions, what-have-you. Maybe they'll go bigger. Can you imagine Earth personified? Mars? Maybe Pluto-- well. Not anymore, Pluto, but plenty of others, yeah? S'pose you could go even bigger, too, really -- the Milky Way, Medusa Cascade, galaxies and nebulas. I'd quite imagine the Zebrilon Cluster to be rather...green and wobbly, myself.

So. Canada, really! ...Well, that does seem to fit, now doesn't it? I'm the Doctor, pleasure to meet you. Don't suppose you've ever heard of me, then? I don't think I've been there quite often, Canada, it's always been a bit. Well. Quiet.

[maplemaple]

The what cluster? Ah well, if there are more of us out in the stars, I haven't met them yet. Though I'd probably like to.

The Doctor? Do you have a last name or anything?

But yes! It's a pleasure meeting you too, eh.

[ooc: Permission to know something about Doctor Who from England's TV series? :3]

[gallantgoggles]

...That makes a little more sense now. Is every country a person too?

[maplemaple]

Glad I was able to help then.

Every single one, yes. It makes for a crowded meeting room sometimes.

[gallantgoggles]

What about countries that aren't human countries?

[maplemaple]

Eh? That aren't human?

Uh.. Well, I suppose it could happen.

[maplemaple]

Glad to be of assistance then.

[maplemaple]

It can be at times, but it's the world I'm a part of. I love it nonetheless.

[glassesgleam]

It's nice to see this explained after all these months - this is far more logical. [And he's totally taking note of all this.]

Has anyone managed to convince Prussia that he "died?" yet?

[maplemaple]

I've already given a few explanations to some, but thought it would be best to do so as a whole and save me a little bit of trouble.

Not yet, though I know America's been trying.

[glassesgleam]

It was certainly descriptive enough to clear up any remaining confusion.

Stubborn as always, then.

[maplemaple]

It was a little embarrassing talking about myself so much, but if it was useful then I'm glad to have done it.

I'm pretty sure he's always been that way.

[lyraofoxford]

Thanks for the explanation! There seem to be a lot of you countries in Discedo.

[maplemaple]

You're welcome and there does seem to be quite a few of us here.
