Day TWENTY-SIX is saved, thanks to ME via VIDEO

[he's breathing heavily, clutching his chest, feeling the heartbeat of a human being rather than the flow of Washington DC; he hiccups, and those are totally not tears bubbling up in his eyes]

I...I can't...[he rocks on his bed, the LP sitting at an angle on a side table, and he looks at his hands, opening and closing them, examining them with the

Mr. America? Mr. America whatever is wrong? Of course you're the United States. No one is taking you away!

[omnomfuckyeah]

I'm not! But, I know I am, I know I'm America, but I can't feel any of my people, my states! They're all just...they're gone!

My strength is, too...so I'm not a world power anymore...my people could be in danger and I don't know how to fix it!

[sorry, he's freaking out/devastated]

[madcuriosity]

M-Mr. America! Please calm down! I'm sure everything will be alright! Please don't fretify! Please don't be sad!

[omnomfuckyeah]

But what about my people? They're my brothers, something bad must've happened, what if I've been taken over, what if those damned commies actually did something?! I can't just...I can't!

[knightly_aches]

Mr. America--! Are--Are you alright?

[he hasn't really thought about it due to sudden power-upgrade, but he does feel awfully empty] ...I feel it too.

Is there anything I can help you with?? I'm sure I could. I um--Somehow I feel much more powerful...I can see things better than before...

[Video]

[omnomfuckyeah]

You're not, either? What the--[he runs his hands through his hair, this has got to be a joke]

[he sighs] I'm...kinda weak, Liet, I can barely walk straight. [he blushes, heroes aren't supposed to be weak, and they aren't supposed to admit it, but...]

...Are you still my back-up?

[Video]

[knightly_aches]

[he's never seen America look so weak before, this is a cause for concern in spite of feeling absolutely fantastic and wait--where are the stomachaches that usually come with this kind of thing??]

But--why? I can't feel my people but I feel stronger than I ever have. Does this sort of thing happen often on Salkia?

Of-Of course I am! Do you need something?

[Video]

[omnomfuckyeah]

[he appears to ignore Liet's question/self-observation, but he's stored it away in his not-so-retarded head]

[he clenches his fist] Your loyalty. If I'm going to fight for my right to be the United States of America, I'm gonna need your help. We'll demand our titles as nations back! We'll get them back, no matter what!

[niyakkai]

... America-san! What is it?

[omnomfuckyeah]

I might not be a nation anymore. Not even a colony. Just...[he doesn't finish the sentence, too keysmashrawr to finish much of anything]

[niyakkai]

America-san...

Everyone says they're different, too. It might be the island again.

[omnomfuckyeah]

The island has no right to take that away from me! I'm the country of dreams and liberty, where all the people of oppressive nations go to gain independence! I'm the United States of America, and Salkia cannot steal that away! It's illegal! It's wrong!

[but, well, guess who's not a nation anymore? Brb in denial but still like, "gdit no"]

[Video] Here have another hero heroing it up to your hero

[note_atem]

Usually when a "hero" loses, it's because he's failed to learn something important; and it happens more often than you seem to think.

[Video] try saying that ten times fast

[omnomfuckyeah]

[he looks very much like he wants to punch you in the face]

Shut up. I'm the United Sta--[he stops, horrified look here, and he slumps] was the United States of America! A world power! The hero of every other nation on the planet! Not even the communists could bring me down!

[Video] TRIES AND FAILS.

[note_atem]

I know it is upsetting, but perhaps all you need do to gain back your power is learn why it was taken away in the first place.

[He seems to think for a moment] On the other hand...

Jing has informed me that this is simply another event of the island. So perhaps things will go back to natural in due time.

[Video] 1/2 ...SAME.

[omnomfuckyeah]

So I lost one war to communism, is that it? I haven't lost the entire damn thing, I'm gonna win! Freedom and what is good will always triumph over--

[ino_thehbic]

Oh, so it's not just me who's lost my power?

[ She sounds a little relieved. That means that whenever this thing passed, she'd be back to normal.

Oh sweet Jesus let there be a logical explanation for this. ]

[ video ]

[omnomfuckyeah]

You weren't a nation.

[ video ] /LOVES YOU FOREVER~

[ino_thehbic]

But obviously you had some sort of... power.

[ video ] XD yay~?

[omnomfuckyeah]

The power of my people, yeah. All of my people. Every more-than-200-million of them! They're gone!
