[The video flicks on while America’s trying to work out how the thing works, clicking buttons without even trying to read the manual first. He’s pulled the map out of his Backpack which isn't much help. It’s pretty obvious too, considering the clueless expression he’s giving it

[Hey, isn't that -?]

[Video 2:2]

[France is feeling rather down due to mini-Romano disappearing, but seeing a familiar face always gets a smile, even if it is a little reduced.]

America! How long has it been since you arrived?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Why yes, yes it is! Though aww, France, that's no good. Hopefully America's fail will make him feel a little better---]

Hey, France! [Nevermind that he's waving at the camera like a loon and then suddenly laughing about it.] I think about an hour or two ago? [It's a little embarrassing that all this time he's been getting lost in New Bark Town and that he's already forgotten certain manuals and his clothing. Oops.]

[Video]

[of_france]

[W-wow, that camera waving is making France's brain feel like it's being shaken not stirred. He closes his eyes briefly and leans back a bit from the screen to off-set the sensation.]

Please stop shaking the camera.

[He sighs a bit, trying to focus on America.]

So you've met the crazy woman who thinks she's everyone's mother, then? She's thrown you out and left you to fend for yourself?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[I'm surprised he's not used to it, at least he does stop when told to?]

Uh, yeah. [Speaking of which, worst. bento. ever. He's already hungry again-

Not like that matters, he's trying to not be pathetic about that. Or that he forgot some of his stuff and had to try and go back for it.]

[Video 1:2]

[Oh, that bento was so long ago. France vaguely remembers it, and he had thought it was poisoned at first until he saw another person eat theirs. By that time, his had been stale. France's refined palate has gone largely unsatisfied in Johto.]

[France sighs and shakes his head.]

That woman...

[He obviously finds her personally offensive. And creepy.]

[Video 2:2]

[of_france]

[France focuses on America, giving him a one-over that would usually just be invasive except for once he has a purpose besides visual pleasure to it.]

What year are you from? Sometimes this place takes us from different points in time.

[He realizes something now.]

You're going to need more clothes than that.

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[He doesn't want to be reminded of it, even if he ate it not that long ago. He just wants to go home, curl up in his living room with a winter's supply of hamburgers and coke.

Which isn't going to happen, apparently.]

Huh? Year? [That makes him pause and look even more confused.] 2011.

[Thanks for that observation there, France, he is rather aware of that. Which is why he looks a little miffed.]

My coat's inside. [He jerks his thumb in the direction of the house he came from.]

[Video]

[of_france]

[France blinks, a little surprised.]

It was 2010 when I left.

[France still believes--in varying degrees, depending on the current evidence--that the world has ended and they're all dead. At the same time, Netherlands said that it was 2011, too, when he came back...]

[At the state of America's coat, France frowning, indignant on America's behalf.]

She steals things from us now, too?! I swear, that -

[He cuts himself off by pointing at America through the 'Gear.]

Steal it back.

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Pfft, like America would ever let the world end. That's impossible. Don't let him hear that theory or he might take offence.

Though that did make him think about it. Maybe he should try kicking the door down instead of just banging on it?]

It wouldn't let me back in.

[Video]

[of_france]

[France rolls his eyes.]

She never does. I've only seen people get back in by destroying part of the house to regain...

[He frowns suspiciously.]

Wait. "It"? She's a woman, still, right?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Oops, maybe he should have phrased that better. Which is why he's waving his hands again. Sorry!]

The house wouldn't!

[He's kind of tempted to kick the door down though...]

[Video]

[of_france]

[...Oh, boy, it's been a while since France has been exposed to America's particular brand of thought process. France visibly resists the urge to facepalm. No point in commenting on the hand waving.]

America...

[He tries another approach, giving America a pouty, imploring look.]

Don't you want to have your coat so you can come and visit Big Brother?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[It's rather special, isn't it? Though at least taking another way with it sort of works.

Though really, he just wants his coat.]

Uh, right. [He should sound more convincing, shouldn't he?] Though I don't even know where you are...

[Video]

[of_france]

[France pauses at that. Oh, hm...]

I'm actually rather far from where you are. I'm in Olivine City.

[A beat.]

You should hurry up and come visit me.

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[So demanding. Though it does make him pout a little.]

I don't have a Pokémon to ride though.

[He's not going to mention that he might take a while trying to find the way too...]
