H-Hello, Kyoya. I do happen to know Kaoru - I worked with him at Class Act.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah? I'm s-sorry. Is there a type of food you like better than European?

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

I suppose it really depends on where I am. Although I suppose that doesn't apply now that my version of Earth no longer exists.

[And of course, catch him early enough and he'll eat pretty much anything]

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Mmm, well, being in space, I guess you have access to everything? Even the alien stuff, if you're so inclined... I mean, I've found some tasty alien berries, so there's bound to be other good things.

[All the optimisim~!]

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

[Kyoya is not convinced]

I think I'll be sticking to fare I am already familiar with, at least for the time being.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

O-of course. There are lots of places that have food you'll like, I'm certain. But if you ever feel like Italy's or France's food, please consider Class Act.

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

Hmm.

That reminds me. I don't think I caught your name.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Oh! I'm so sorry!

I'm Canada. Nice to meet you. [A beat of hesitation. Kyoya knew about Europe, so...] Um, if it helps, I'm the ...personification of the country?

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

[Ah, so that would be why that other sentence didn't quite make sense. Personification of a country? If he were anywhere other than on a spaceship, he'd be inclined to dismiss the claim as madness]

Hmm. Then I assume the same must be true of the Italy and France you mentioned earlier.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Yes, it is! [Canada is clearly super-impressed. Kyoya is very quick on the uptake.]

Thank you for understanding so quickly.

[reallyincharge]

I wasn't aware there was really much to understand.

[He's already well past the point of wasting time on cynicism. They're in space. With aliens. His suspension of disbelief is the highest it's ever been]

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

[[That is a good thing.]]

There really isn't, but... others from Earth get a bit... incredulous when they hear who we are.

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

Well that's understandable. Claiming to be the personification of a country isn't something likely to go down well with most whose worlds are similar to mine. But I'm sure we both have better things to do with our time than argue the veracity of such a claim when it's clear there are far more unusual things all around this ship.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Y-yes... That is the most rational thing I've heard in a while.

Thank you for saying so. It's truly a pleasure meeting such a rational young man as yourself.

Re: [video]

[reallyincharge]

Why, thank you. It sounds as though rational is a dying trait around here so I'm glad I can help even things up a touch.

Re: [video]

[maple_syrup_can]

Ah- absolutely. [You have no idea...]

Um, there is not much I can do, but I'll be happy to help you however I can if you ever need it.
