Puzzle 001 [Video / Action for Goldenrod]

[The face appearing on the network now may or may not be a new face to some people, but this whole situation sure is new to Clive. Anyone who's paying extra close attention may also notice that the scenery in the background is nowhere in New Bark Town or Mahogany; it's none other than the first floor of the Radio Tower in Goldenrod.]Good evening,

[America's totally with him on it being far too cold. He has had a similar problem, after all. That's not why he's replying to the message though, nope. It's-]

Hey! Don't worry about that stuff while you can't do anything about it! [Clive will see a nice smiling face too.] Just enjoy it while you can! [He's used to giving himself pep talks, might as well put it to good use, right?]

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Aww, that's sad. Though really it's typical for people like Alfred anyway.]

Nah, we're not born like that. ['We' obviously meaning countries, though it's doubtful Clive will know that yet....]

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[He sure doesn't. In fact, Clive is preeetty confused right now.]

You... weren't born like that? Then how were you born?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Well it's... a bit weird. It's understandable.]

I just... appeared one day, apparently.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[...Hopefully Alfred won't blame Clive for thinking that he is completely insane right now.]

You mean you just appeared out of thin air? How does that even work?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Nope, not at all. It's a common occurence...]

Um... I'm not really sure actually. [He looks thoughtful.] It's like when the country is discovered or re-discovered? [This would be more helpful if he said who he was, of course.]

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[Yeeeah, that made absolute zero sense to him.]

...You don't actually expect me to believe this, do you?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[...Well, he tried?]

I'm not the only one here who represents a country though! Though I guess it's pretty hard for people to get.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

What do you mean you "represent a country"?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[He really needs to stop talking about this- it would help if he wasn't so proud of it.]

I'm, uh, I'm America.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[He's sorry, but Clive just can't really take this seriously...]

Oh, are you? And what other countries do we have here?

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[Not... surprising really.]

Y-yeah. [And it's kind of unnerving really. But oh, well.] At the moment? England, France, China, Holland and Russia are... or they're all I know of.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

I see. Admittedly, it is an interesting concept...

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

Yeah. Kinda unbelievable too, huh?

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

It really is, honestly.

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

There isn't much of a way to prove it either, I guess. [He pouts a little.]
