[Norway? ... But you don't seem to remember the Thor. So... here we go again?]

Hello, Norway. It's Canada...

[lutefisk]

[He stares intently at the screen, then:]

Do ya make yerself unrecognizable on purpose?

[video. he will answer to that, yes.]

[maple_syrup_can]

...

N-no, I don't.

[video. anything but america...]

[lutefisk]

So it's a natural talent.

[video. exactly. ♥]

[maple_syrup_can]

I... [*sigh*] I suppose you can say that.

[video.]

[lutefisk]

Ya don't sound pleased 'bout bein' ignorable.

[maple_syrup_can]

Well... It depends on the situation, I guess.

[lutefisk]

Then ya need to learn t'control it.

[maple_syrup_can]

I'm not so sure that I can...

It's not like I haven't tried...

[lutefisk]

Then ya don't want it badly enough.

[When you say it with that face- Your intensity is a bit scary, Norway.]

I- well, it's not that big a deal, really...

[lutefisk]

[You mean the face he makes 99% of the time, Canada?]

Ya certainly ain't part of the norm. [Whether that can actually be considered a compliment is unknown.]

[maple_syrup_can]

[Yes.]

[Well, that statement can be taken both ways easily...
Optimism (mostly) wins out.]

Y-yah... Th-thank you. It... would be boring if we were all the same?

[lutefisk]

Boring by bein' worth rememberin'.

[While he doesn't look particularly thoughtful he lets those words linger in his mouth. Well.

However, enough about running Canada to the ground:]

How long have ya been here.

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah...

Um, I've been here since- well, the date doesn't matter. For ten months.

[lutefisk]

Ten months. 'nd what year is it for ya.
