[ Despite the gruesome stitches and screws still embedded in his neck, America is looking quite chipper. And why is he so upbeat? Does it have anything to do with his best buddy England showing up with weed and Beatles records? Yes. But that is not all, as evident from his big carefree grin.Hey guys, guess whose voice is finally back! No cracks or

[Blinks at America's state. What the hell happened?! Cougars?]

Did cougars do that to your neck? [Scratches his head, looking worried.] I wasn't aware you couldn't talk! [But America looks chipper, so Gakupo doesn't look too worried.] I'm glad you're feeling better!

And...is all this claiming really necessary?

Cougars didn't do this, no, but it's a pretty boring story that I'm pretty sure you don't wanna hear.

[ Mostly because JAPANESE. He doesn't really give any indication though, other than looking mildly disinterested himself. ]

Yes. No. I don't know. Maybe.

[thepurpleway]

Eh? But your stories are always so captivating! [He's pouting a bit. No story time? He lives for the stories!

Gakupo stares at the static laced screen.]

Well, that sure is a lack of confidence. A bit unnerving, as Tatsumi is claiming an area in the name of you. [Allows for a short moment of silence.] Are...you alright? You don't seem like yourself, America-san...

This one doesn't have a very happy ending.

I'm sure he meant well, it's just more complicated than he realizes. This is gonna cause some issues with some other countries... not that I'm not flattered or gonna take responsibility of Spero, of course! [ America also pauses, seeming to be lost in thought for a second, then snaps back to attention. ] It's been a long few weeks.

[He nods softly, giving America a faint smile.] It seems you don't really want to talk about it, but if you ever need an audience...

I have a feeling this won't be the last claiming scheme. [Sighs softly.] Is has been a while, hasn't it? [Perks at remembering something.] Ah, right! Your brother is here!

[VIDEO]

[libertyfuckyeah]

[ Returning the smile. Not as enthusiastic as the one in his earlier post, but it's something. ] Yeah. Maybe some day! Stuff's still going on, so it's kinda on a need-to-know basis.

Nah, but when it comes down to it, it doesn't make a huge difference since none of the countries claiming stuff are Russia.

[ Perking up as well. ] Which one?! [ NOTICE HOW HE'S TALKING TO CANADA IN ANOTHER THREAD sob. ]

[VIDEO]

[thepurpleway]

Understood.

[Raises an eyebrow.] ...I'm not following.

[Totally did not notice SO THIS IS BEFORE THEN? IDK.] Canada-san is here. He's my roommate. I found him wandering about with Kuma-kun.

Russia's basically the Anti-Christ, but I'm pretty sure Lucifer has severed all family ties with him because he doesn't want to be associated with such a psychopath. [ Nodding as though this is all just fact he's reciting. ]

[ IT CAN BE BEFORE OR AFTER. Really this is Canada we're talking about. America might have just forgotten he was talking to him. ] Oh, right, Canada! He's pretty chill, if a bit ditzy and slow. Glad to see he's making friends! He doesn't seem to have a whole lot back home.

[ Thanks to America. OR WHO KNOWS Canada probably has friends and America just doesn't know. ]

...o-oh.

[Makes a internal text file: NEVER GO TO RUSSIA|]

Matthew is quite nice, though! I'm very glad to hav met him. Kuma-kun is a bit grumpy, though. [America is a terrible brother.] He looked a bit disappointed when he couldn't get in contact with you earlier, so it's good to know you two connected.
