✪ 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.]

[Yessssss. She knew her people would get it. This (inwardly) cheers her up considerably.]

HEY! That's the word! Words. [shifting in her seat this is the best thing she's heard all day]

I-- [AND AN IMMEDIATE HALT. A pout--No, actually, it's a frown.] The one with the brows? Yeah, him. He ain't my England. Mine's a chick and she has her hair up in pigtails. Think it's that alternate universe b.s. again.

[moontothetide]

[Oh my god Amelia alternate universes you have all Tara's sympathy in the world. She winces at the reminder.] Y-Yeah. Um, that's, th-that's kind of a thing here. I-I don't really understand it. The people who run the tower, though, th-they seem to. Or, um, s-so they tell us.

...I had a friend here from home, once. Only, just...n-not my home. S-So I kind of think I get how it is.

[starspangledknockers]

[If she had a chinhands emote she'd be using it right now. Right now.] Yeah, and those assholes are messin' with death too. Can you believe that? Don't worry, I'ma take care of this, you can count on it! [THUMBS UP. You are the first American she's met here. >3> Other than her tiny!dude!self. ]

Hey, we can be friends too!

[moontothetide]

[Amelia's enthusiasm is a bit infectious. And, besides, Tara knows just how good it can be to have friends here.]

Y-Yeah. I mean, if you want. Th-That'd be great.

I'm Tara. It's, it's really great to meet you. Um, w-what should I call you? Just...America?

[starspangledknockers]

America's good! It's my name after all! Or Amelia. [uwahhhh she has just made a friend! Fucking awesome start to the week.] My human name's Amelia F. Jones! You can call me Ames too. We should totally hang out, just sayin'!

[moontothetide]

O-Okay. I mean, I wouldn't mind that. Th-There's not a lot of places to hang out here, or at least I didn't think there were, but, um, if there's any place you want to hang out, just let me know.

I, I'm usually on the floor with the meadow. Or in the library. Or, um, or the pool - I-I'm a pool cleaner.
