Re: ITT: Ask a memer

Hey now! If you're gonna diss free beer then you can get your own! [And good luck with that. Besides, her beer's gotten a whole lot better lately!]

Yeah yeah I'll be blessed all right. Just don't bring any creepy spiders with you!

uhh I'm really late? apologises!

[luckycountry]

Oi, I didn't say I wouldn't drink it!

[He'll backtrack for free booze even if it's Coors.]

Can't get them through customs anyway. Would bring ya somethin' cuter if I could anyway!

[Like some sort of deadly rattlesnake.]

...Besides, think we had something arranged in future anyway. Like a date.

[If she forgot, she's not the only one. He's had enough happen since America's birthday that it slipped his mind a little until now.]

Re: uhh I'm really late? apologises!

[fruited_plain]

Cuter? Like a koala?

[She wouldn't mind that at all act- huh?]

Huh? Date?

[And now she's wracking her brains trying to remember if that was a thing or he just made that up.]

[luckycountry]

Think I could probably sneak a koala in!

Yeah, after your birthday. Supposed to take that weird kiddo on one too, though if that slipped ya mind I wouldn't blame ya...

[fruited_plain]

Ohhhh crap I completely forgot about that! It's been like a month already?!

[The battle sort of messed everything up.]

I started to with him too but it got interrupted I guess.


[It takes a few moments to figure out that he's asking her out on a date.]

But I thought you were gonna take bro on one!

[luckycountry]

's alright, lot happened inbetween. For both of us from what I've heard.

Probably for the best, might have forgotten about it by now. Ya probably hopin' he has anyway!

[He stares at her for a moment, trying to figure out if she's being serious.]

...Why the hell would I be takin' ya bro on a date?

[fruited_plain]

Well you would be too if you were afraid a kindergartener would ask you for sex again.

[She was. And now she looks just as confused.]

I thought you two were- well that you were- uh [now that she thinks about it she has no idea and scratches her head and laughs.]

I don't remember I guess!

[luckycountry]

Nah, nothing like that. Nice bloke and all but...ya know. He's America. Have to be a little crazy to go after him.

[Which doesn't explain why he's asking her despite her being America too but he hasn't thought about that.]

[There's one guy she's close to that he's a little, uh, close to like that too however, it's just not her bro.]

Bit curious where ya got that idea from.

[fruited_plain]

I'm America too y'know! Why do people around here act like I'm not?! The only difference between me and him is that I have boobs and he doesn't!

[Which contradicts an earlier teasing session of hers. She crosses her arms.]

I dunno thought you two were friendly or something.

[luckycountry]

[He pauses to think about how to rephrase it. Which is tough when she's put it that bluntly.]

I know that, it's just...it ain't the same. Known him for so long and you for not that long, and ya are similar but not exactly the same. Probably like that with me and your Australia, ain't it?

We are! But not like that...

[A thought strikes him and he pales a little.]

...Not trying to matchmake for him again are ya?

[If she is, he's rolling out of there straight away. He's ignoring what he said to them during that truth thread as much as possible and America getting involved would just make it worse.]

1/2

[fruited_plain]

No! I'm not doing that anymore!

[He yelled at her and stuff.]

2/2

[fruited_plain]

[But the other is a dilemma she's been facing since she's been here - who's who? It's England but it's not her England. It's Lithuania but it's not her Lithuania. It's Australia but he's not her Australia.]

[It's been bugging her a lot, but at the same time it's given her a chance at new relationships that history and stupid stuff have gotten in the way of. She looks contemplative, for once don't get used to it, and sort of shuffles her feet a bit.]

Yeah. I know what you're saying. It's hard, y'know? There's only a few of us from my world here. I mean, I know you, but I don't. [She really doesn't. They've talked, she's punched him in the nose, blah blah blah, but they're not close friends. Not like hers.]

But it can be a good thing too maybe? That's kinda what I decided with Lithuania. I mean he's Lithuania, but he's not mine, so we can start new and stuff without thinking about things.

[She sorta spilled the beans there but doesn't seem to be adding more onto that.]

Re: 2/2

[luckycountry]

Yeah, I can imagine. Not sure how well I'd do if I was thrown into ya world, probably not as good as you've been doing here. Even if my lady self must be a real babe.

[The thought of a female version of himself is weirding him out a little - he knows she exists but he doesn't know what it'd be like meeting her. Or any of the other nations he knows well here. America's not so different but the others might be.]

No, ya don't. Think we could get to know each other better though.

[But there's a lot of things he's done with his America that he's never going to do with her. He wouldn't necessarily want to either - the war stuff he could happily leave behind, as vital as it was for their relationship.]

I see. How's that working out for ya now?

[He's interested but as soon as the question is out of his mouth he wants to take it back and it's not just because he likes her. He'd never admit it but whatever she tells him, he's going to use it to measure up his own relationship with Lithuania.]

Re: 2/2

[fruited_plain]

Oh man she's great and totally hot! You two should meet some day!

[Or maybe she should've told him she was the ugliest and meanest hag ever and that thought makes her laugh a little.]

It's uhm, working so far! We get along pretty great.

[That's an understatement and it's more than she hoped for. It's much easier with him than with hers even if that may be what she's wanted for a long time, but she doesn't want to think about stuff like that. She has no idea what their relationship is like other than he apologized for killing him.]

Yeah, okay, you're right! We should do the "getting to know each other" thing. A date it is!

Re: 2/2

[luckycountry]

Well if she ever drops by, I'll make time to see her.

[Maybe.]

Glad to hear it! Good to see things working out for two nice people.

[He means it and he shoves whatever sudden feelings of - it's not jealousy but almost anxiety over how he'd measure up compared to either side, which is something he didn't expect to feel - down to smile at her. He can tell that America doesn't know about what happened between him and Lithuania beyond that incident and even though he probably should say something he doesn't.]

Ace! I'll call ya when I'm visiting your place and then fit something into our schedules? I'll make time for ya.

Re: 2/2

[fruited_plain]

[It's not often she's called nice and her smile widens.]

Sure thing! I'll keep the fridge well-stocked when you show up! You can have all the crappy beer you want!

[She's lying, she'll put some good stuff in there too. He'll have to dig really hard to find it though.]
