✪ first homerun [video]

[starspangledknockers]

[It's about time she tried this thing out, so here she is sitting in the library.]

Heya! Thought I'd make a broadcast and here it is! This is the United States of America speaking. Crazy I know, I bet you're all like, "Oh shit, she's so awesome!" Don't worry if you can't handle how great I am, that's totally natural and everything.

[SHE CLAPS her hands together once and rubs them together in apparent anticipation.] Now that I'm here, these Tower dudes really have it comin'. See, I'm gonna get you guys outta here. Don't know how, where or when, but I promise! [slams a fist into her palm with a firm nod, determination glittering in her eyes.]

Between now and whenever the hell that is, let's get to know each other! You got that part about me being America, which is totally like... the best part, and also that I'm fuckin' awesome. Yeah that's right, I'm the U.S. of A. Comin' right atcha from...

[she looks around]

Uh. This library. [A pout. Which immediately disappears, because she's back to smiling again.]

Whatev, whatev. [Who could ever tell she's looking for information? Really looking, actually. It's a ruse.

... It's a ruse, and she really is showing everyone how fabulous she is. And don't you forget it.]

Peace out homies, and stay frosty!~ [she points at the screen and mock-shoots it with her finger, and with a wink from Amelia, the broadcast ends.]

It's hot here.

[Elian doesn't get a lot of the slang. Poor kid was locked up most of his life and he's looking at America with confusion.]

I don't understand. Homie? Peace out? Um...doesn't your back hurt?

[If it's possible to break his brain, it just broke. Those breasts are huge!]

[starspangledknockers]

Homie! Like, home bro, friend, pal, whatever--

[she blinks, then continues on smiling. SHE GETS ASKED THIS FREQUENTLY.]

Nope! I don't care if you look by the way, but just know these goods ain't for sale if you catch my drift.

[absolute_perception]

[His brow lifts. The first part he gets now, the second part just confuses him again.]

I'm not interested in buying. Do you have to show them off?

1/?? LMAO YOU ASKED FOR IT

Even though those curves are extraordinarily distracting.]

Alright, here goes.]

[keepscalm]

[He finally turns on the video feed, his eyes averted from the screen.]

Welcome to the Tower. I really don't think escape will be as easy as you believe it to be.

[starspangledknockers]

Oh hey another British guy! Hi other British guy! [America waves happily. Well, until she starts sulking again.] Dude, the last Brit I talked to was such a dick. Like, at least you're all well spoken I guess.

Besides, who said it'd be easy? It's not fun if it's easy.

[She honestly has no idea what's coming. No idea.]

[dragonspooker]

...great, just what we needed.

[Some lines drip sarcasm. That line? It's practically spewing it all over the place.

And possibly envy, because holy crap why is it all the dumbasses and idiots that wind up with the decent bodies?]

[starspangledknockers]

I know, right?

[It's difficult to tell whether she's noticed the sarcasm and is pretending it doesn't exist or she hasn't noticed it at all.]

See, I'm glad someone gets it.

[terraformagica]

If you were really that great, you wouldn't have to make such a show of yourself.

video;

[starspangledknockers]

You think that was a show? Huh... That was nothin'!

Besides, I don't even have to try! I just am. Awesome's a state of being and being flashy is part of the fun!

[shadowofmoonlight]

... you are an arrogant fool.

[starspangledknockers]

Hey if you think I'm ignorant that's your opinion! Care to enlighten me at all?

[Video]

[snowyvalemaiden]

Oy mon, puttin' yerself out der like dat ain't da best of ideas, even if I be likin' yer spirit gurl.

Dis place doesn't jus' harbor people lookin' ta make nice wit ya.

[starspangledknockers]

Oh hey! [nice to see a familiar face.] Thanks!

Yeah, I get that. [said with an offhand shrug.] Still worth a try though! It's just how I roll. [she is just pretending that thing with "England" didn't happen. Amelia isn't sure why he got under her skin so easily and denial is a girl's best friend.]

I've done a lot of stuff everyone said was impossible before. You might as well go for something and if it doesn't work, you get back up and learn from that. That's how stuff gets done!

[moontothetide]

[...

...

...she's met England, of course, but somehow they never got around to discussing the link between being called "England" and actually being Giles' home country.

This? This is a bit harder to ignore.]

Um, s-sorry...I, I guess I must have misunderstood you. I thought you said you...were the United States?

[She's from California herself.]

AND I AM HERE NOW and omg sorry this took a while come here

[starspangledknockers]

[--OH IS THIS ONE OF HERS?! She beams like a fucking Christmas tree.]

Nope, didn't misunderstand! That's me. How are ya?~
