Right, SO. Let me get this straight.
A shit ton of people left for like no reason--?

I mean, that's what it kind of sort of sounds like. Does this happen a lot? [ GUESS WHO HAS BEEN HERE SINCE MARCH AND HASN'T NOTICED THIS. Well, he's noticed people going home, but it just occurred to him that people leave all together sometimes! ]

Well, that's

England went home, eh? [...how disappointing. He never once had the chance to speak with the other nation. Oh well.]

...you're still going to need to clean, America.

2/2

[vimyridge]

[But anyway! Time to be serious for a moment.] If you'd like, I can come over sometime and we can play those... video games. [There was an unspoken 'so you don't have to be so alone'.]

1/2.

[starstripedhero]

[ there's a slight HUFF. ]
Yeah, I guess he did. But whatever. He's sort of a snob anyway. Still... it kind of brought home here in a way.. I mean. Even more so, you know--?
Not like I'm totally MISSING home or anything! I'm completely independent and adultish!

[ A SIGHHHH. ]
....

[starstripedhero]

[ but all that goes out the wazoo in an instant. ]

THAT'S RIGHT.
You're past bro! You don't know the GENIUS OF VIDEOGAMES YET. HAHHAA.

[rivalheroics]

[Geez, and Mitsumi called him bad for having a high opinion of himself...Also what the heck is Star Trek? ...No wait, focus here, there's probably more important things to be talking about here.]

I've never seen anyone actually leave either, it's really weird...you'd think you would have seen something with so many people apparently having disappeared all at once...

[starstripedhero]

Yeah, absolutely! Like a giant space craft or something beaming people up! Or a big flash of light or something!
I wonder.. if they just vanish? Or maybe they go somewhere-- maybe they get kidnapped! And it's some secret place!
Maybe.. MAYBE. Maybe it's under the ground's surface here!

[rivalheroics]

I think somebody would of remembered seeing a giant space craft or a huge flash of light...

[Though the idea about a secret underground area does seem slightly plausible to him.] Maybe...I wonder how one would even be able to find a place like that...

[starstripedhero]

[ He seems quiet for a moment before stroking his chin. ]

Hmmmmm! Well, we could always try to wish ourselves down below, couldn't we?

[Siegfried's expression is unusually imperious; a firmly deliberate frown. He cannot hold back what one would call a reprimand, however softly it's delivered.

Something about America's words irk him, more than he himself would have expected.]

If you are truly so important to your people, you should have other matters than video games to attend to. Though none of us deserve to be trapped here, do not state so casually that you deserve to go home... Everyone is seeking escape.

[starstripedhero]

[ America makes some kind of face before laughing it off slightly. ]

I do plenty of other duties when I'm in my world! Not just video games! But here, I don't.. well.. I don't have as much responsibility anymore!
And of course everybody deserves to go home! Which is why I'm going to be the hero and figure this out for everyone!

.. But I am the most important. At least, in my world.

[richest_heart]

Then should your primary concern not be the responsibility that you do have? That is what being a hero is truly about.

[He has his reasons for believing it. He also has no idea what he could be getting into.]

[starstripedhero]

Uhhh.
Well.
It is. Back home! I mean. I'm kind of working on trying to get home! [ it's kind of obvious with the papers behind him, all scribbled down and taped to his wall.
Then, kind of sheepishly, he replies. ]

... A hero does need to take a break once in awhile.

[nobleidealist]

It means they're home, right?

[starstripedhero]

[ He seems a little thoughtful for a moment before cupping his chin with his fingers. ]

Hmmm. I mean, that's what people are saying but...
OH MY GOD.
What if the aliens have taken them to be heavily tested on! [ TO PUT MORE PEOPLE IN A PANIC........ ]

This is SERIOUSLY not cool!

[video]

[nobleidealist]

...Aliens?! There are aliens here?

..What are aliens?

[starstripedhero]

!!!
Dude!
Aliens are beings from other planets! Some of them are really nice, but others.. man. Like in science fiction novels and stuff!
THEY USUALLY WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

My theory is that they abducted us and brought us here! But.. for some reason, people don't really seem to understand that!

[stubborn_throes]

...Excuse me while I try to wrap my head about this for a moment.

You're a country.

[starstripedhero]

[ Oh! He hasn't met this person yet. Smiling wide, he contrasts great with his mood earlier. ]

Hahaha! Yep. Man. Where have you been all this time?
[ he hates explaining this, but he knows it happens a lot. ]

[stubborn_throes]

I'm tempted to feel weary about taking your word for it as that makes a lot less sense than I find myself comfortable with.

I spend most of my time at the Library.

[starstripedhero]

Ehhhh? The Library? Hahaha! So you like to read! I went to the Library once to find comic books, but there weren't too many, so I just wished for a shit ton and that was cool.

HEY. What is your name anyway? I'm America! Maybe you can help me research and stuff about this place. How long have you been here?

[ yeah he's avoiding that country conversation. ]
