The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire

What about the Rail Tracer? [ ON THIS LIKE PASTRAMI ON A RUBEN. ]

From:

_{[ Out of nowhere, there is a Korean bolting towards you.
You hear him before you see him. ]}

YEEEEEEEEEONGUUUUUUG!!

_{[ NEARLY BULLDOZERING INTO ENGLAND.
Nearly. You're safe this time because he slows down a lot.
It is an enthusiastic embrace, followed by extensive clinging. ]}

Aaaaah, it is so good to see your bush brows in person!!! I was so excited! So excited!

From:

[ GUESS WHO HE WAS TRYING NOT TO GET HELP FROM ]

America, if you've no information of value to offer me, then please desist from engaging in pointless conversation with me.

[ With a tilt of the head. ] ...unless you have some useful information to contribute about this... 'rail tracer'.

You know, when you act so shady like that, people won't give you anything. [She knows you must know at least some French don't you dare ignore her.]

From:

I have all sorts of useful information! You just never ask the right questions!

This is gonna be like the third time I tell you this. I want you to realize this. Appreciate my efforts to educate you.

From:

[ OHGODOHGODOHGODHE"S GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE-- ]

--KOREA! [ CRINGING READY TO BE KNOCKED DOWN AND---it.... it doesn't happen. He just has a rather annoying Korean teenager clinging to him like the plague. ]

...Korea. [ And suddenly, pushing, squirming, general freaking out because he's touching him! ] IM YONG! [ Pushing at his face and chest and arms and--breaking away. And then standing a good six feet away from the Korean man, brushing himself down before huffing. ]

Korea. It is generally not considered polite to attack people like that, just so that you are aware. I am... not quite as excited to see you, but I suppose I am pleased... in the way one is to see a beloved dog that has ran away for some time, only to find it once more after many days of worrying, but finding out it has become rabid. [ A frown. ] Did you hear my message to the network?

From:

Speak English. I don't know what you're saying. [ aka I'm prideful speak my language or I'll hang up ]

From:

America, my patience is running thin. Do you or do you not have something of value to offer to me that makes some sort of coherent sense and doesn't involve drugs or old pretzels?

From:

_{[ He was rubbing against your face aaaah you are such a grumpy old man like Big Bro he loves it and you're from the West and yes.
He simmers down, taking a deep breath. ]}

I am sorry. I am overwhelmed with excitement, I am shaking like a little branch. I should respect my elders. _{[ even though I am older than you. And everyone.
In one arm, he is cradling his kimchi jar which still hasn't been eaten completely, and somehow hasn't broken yet. ]}

Ne, I heard your message. I want to help you!
You have all of my services!

_{[ .... hesitantly shuffling closer... ]}

From:

Are we talking about information or actual valuable things? 'Cause you ain't getting any of my records. Or my blankets. Or my pony.

From:

[ What the fuck why did he bring his rotten cabbage with him to Discedo? Maybe England can steal it from him and use it as a weapon... ] Too right you are. Please try to control yourself and maintain some sort of decency, lad. I know that's hard for you, but honestly.

[ He heaves a sigh. ]

All right. All right. [ Glancing behind him. Then to the side. Then to the other side. This time, it's England who shuffles closer and leans in, voice lowering dramatically. ]

I'm going to go venture out. [ With a jerk of his head, he motions behind himself. ] I mean honestly out. Into the forests. I want to see what's out there, if there's an escape. I know there's nothing in this miserable city, or the other one I was in. Would you like to come with me?

[ Because yes, you're annoying Korea, but you're also loud and annoying and these alleged monsters might eat you first... ]

From:

Information, you insufferable oaf.

Only one good way to find out how dangerous something is! [ read: fight the shit out of it. ]

Hmmmm, you could always use a sword. In my experience, there's usually some lying around if you look hard enough. Might have to pry it off a skeleton, but they had their chance with it.

From:

_{[ Oh okay being close he likes being close to people so LEANING IN SOME MORE and mimicking that tone of yours.
Ohh Mister England you are like a spy.
His voice his just above a whisper as he speaks. ]}

Aaahh, okay. You want to go and piss your pants. It is a really scary place here.
That is a stupid idea, okay. You should be hit on the head for your foolishness. If I were your mother, I would say, "You are worthless, the first born of my womb. Why did you take so much after your father? Let the Internet educate you for wise choices instead!"

I-I am not sure if I can make such a commitment but...
I have a weapon I could give you.. if you really wanted.

_{[ He is speaking in all seriousness here wow what a 180 turn. ]}

---Aaah, I did offer all my services to you, didn't I? I suppose I cannot go back on a word if you, ah, need company or assistance.

From:

Oh, okay! Info! So you wanna know about all the creatures, right? Most of 'em are kinda a pest, but I had one of the cool dragon wolf things as a pet once. I named her Puppy and she was my best friend. And then a troll girl ate her.

[ SIGH. Sad face. Here let's have a moment of silence for the loss of America's terrible hellbeast... ]

Oh, right, and the cows are feisty, but you gotta steel yourself because there's a secret:

[ He leans in and whispers: ] They're ghost cows.

[ Straightening right back up and looking so prideful. Like a little kid who got an A on a spelling test ;w; ] But with the help of another hero, I conquered my fear of them! Now I've got a couple of them!

[ America apparently just. collects monsters. ]

From:

hullonurse

[Oh, no you don't she has enough to worry about.]

And just what are you planning?

From:

[ ...wow. ]

[ Wow. ]

[ He just got told off by Korea. He can do one of three things:

A. Shrink back and feel very stupid for suggesting any of that in the first place.

B. Thank him for his time and walk away to go pursue someone more useful.

C. Become obstinate, grow angry, shout. ]

It isn't stupid! My God, what do you know! You're just like the rest of this sad old lot, sitting around, doing shite-all, just trying to survive in this miserable habitat like the pathetic bunch of wankers you are! If you were a citizen of my country, I would disown you! For fuck's sake, I don't know why I bothered asking you in the first place, I should have guessed you would have given me such a cowardly answer!

[ Guess which one is the English way. ]

From:

[ Aaaaand then he hears the second half of Korea's answer. And bites his lip. And looks away, as he can already feel the blood begin to pool in his cheeks and bring a rosy colour to the tips of his ears. ]

I... I-I-- [ Well, he's not going to apologise, that's for sure. ] --I mean, that's what I would have said had you been serious about refusing to offer your assistance! A hypothetical answer, you see. However, seeing as you are offering your assistance, that aforementioned tirade wasn't actually meant in earnest, you see.

[ So much backpeddaling what is his life ] So then! You'll come with me, and we'll both find an exit to this awful place, you with your... [ A wild hand gesture to his companion of the moment. ] Korean fighting abilities, and I shall find us some weapons to wield, whether those be guns or arrows, I cannot say for sure.

Heh. [ Clearing his throat. ] Well then. Um. [ Shuffling his feet, wow he is just... going to be red... for the rest of the day... ] Do you... do you live around Discedo like? Just so I know if I wish to speak more with you on the subject of explorations, of course.

From:

Precisely. However, I'd like to gather information anyway just in case I'm familiar with the beasts of the area. Some may be more benevolent than they look, and others more malevolent, of course.

A sword would be acceptable, seeing as I'm quite skilled in using one. [ A raise of the brow. ] However, seeing as it is no longer Medieval times, locating a skeleton with a spare sword might be slightly difficult. Can you offer any other suggestions?

You can borrow Artemis if you want.

[ She holds up a scythe. ]

From:

[ You know, he was considering locking this from her, but he figured she'd be too busy to pay attention... oh well. He's a man, he can control his own life!! ]

I'm going for a walk.

[ Well, he isn't lying... ]

From:

[ You see this look America? ]

[ This is the expression people make when they give you the infamous slow clap. ]

Well, you've proved to be just as useful as I thought you might be. So then, Alfred, let's try another tactic; do you know where I might locate some weapons?

From:

[Your fear draws him like a shark to blood. It makes him stronger.]

Angleterre. [Patient. So patient. He taps his fingers somewhere. Drumming. They drum with select, precise intervals so that his fingers fall--then silence--fingers fall--then silence.]

Angleterre.

[The worst of it is that the following is in English.]

Subtlety was something at which you never succeeded. [consistent. drumming.]

You have nothing to fear, Angleterre. You, the mighty empire that you are--or is it were? I did hope you would not fade and rot as you apparently have-- The mighty empire you are, you would not object to a meeting in person, oui?

[And then... Silence.

There is nothing.

But.

Silence.

France's features split into a smile and he laughs softly.]

If you do not agree to meet with me, as you will certainly do out of this fear which has apparently gripped you with your usual stupidity, I will locate you myself.

Oh!

Look! Look at how simple this will be. Collect your rifles, swords and cannons, Angleterre, Arthur. Gather your toys into your arms!

... I simply want to talk.

From:

_{[ At first, he looks pretty heartbroken at England's outburst. Lips forming in a gently frown, eyes glossing over slightly. He's about to burst into tears, guilt trip England, black mail him, beg for an apology, and XXX all at the same time. ]}

Ach, aigoh, what an ass thing to say! I am merely being-- aa--
