An old muse reawakens...

[koalas]

Aw, g'day, love! Been a while! How've ya been, ignoring me and all that? No worries, no worries, apology accepted. Guess the new book whatshisname put out got your attention again! Or was it visiting home? The olympics? Or all three! My money's on visiting me.

Nothing wrong with a little bet, love.

Anyway, now ya got me back out, what do you wanna do? Go for a swim? The show's in London right now, we could swim to France! See how long Jappa can keep up! Not for long, I reckon.

I am surprised anyone can ignore you. [it's a compliment... mostly.]

Yessss come to me my northern neighbour

[koalas]

Me too! 'Specially when she's one of mine!

[nusantara]

That might explain it. Does she make her presence known like you? [AKA BEING LOUD.]

[koalas]

There's roughly fifty people at her house and she's locked herself up in her bedroom to do this, you tell me.

[nusantara]

So she's ignoring all those other people for you? [thinking about this because it sounds fishy. Then it comes to her.] Ah, now I understand, Australia~! [giggling because she knows a super secret!!]

[koalas]

Think she's just hiding, actually. Bunch of 'em came in as part of a tour and she jumped. What, babe?

[nusantara]

Do not call me "babe" 'kay-'kay? [shakes a finger in front of him.] I am a proper lady.

Hmm, if I tell you, you might try to take advantage of her... a young maiden's heart is a delicate thing!

[koalas]

... That'd explain why she's always making a fuss about me never wearing a shirt!

[nusantara]

You are teasing her and making her think things she shouldn't! Us proper ladies are strong against temptation, though. [if only.] But you are probably overwhelming her.

[longwhitecloud]

Maybe she just saw a couple of sheep and wondered where their lover was.

[koalas]

Aw, if she wanted me to call ya for her, she only had ta ask!

[koalas]

I'm pretty overwhelming, it's true.

[pacificstriplestar]

I could beat you there rowing.

[Someone is way too proud of her citizens...]

[koalas]

I could beat you kayaking! Or hurdling! No, wait, kayaking. My girls did good this time though... Winner buys drinks!

[pacificstriplestar]

You're on!

How were you planning to hurdle from England to France, anyway?

[koalas]

Sally Pearson could've made it! And, well, it's the one event me mun watched that I got gold in. Fresh in her memory.

[longwhitecloud]

You're still as daft as always, I see, even after this long time.

...it really has been a while. You should make your mun go home more often if that gives her the incentive to pester the world with you. [Not admitting that he was missed nope nope]

[koalas]

She only gets a chance once a year... Like she's cursed... [Aw, he missed you too, Kiwi.]

[longwhitecloud]

You make it sound like one of big bro's spells misfired and hit her.

[koalas]

It's exactly like that! Pom cursed her! The bastard!

[longwhitecloud]

So what will you do to uncurse her?

[Clearly that is your job now, Oz. Don#t get lost like that again.]

[koalas]

... Get her deported from Yank's place so she has no where else to go?

[longwhitecloud]

...You know that there are more than the two of you on this planet, right? [There would be a playful knock to the back of Australia's head if they were close enough right now.]

[koalas]

Well, yeah, but the only other place she can go without a immigration hassle is you.

She's not that desperate yet.

[longwhitecloud]

[Smiling sweeeeetly- okay maybe sweet is the wrong adjective here.]

Maybe you should make her that desperate so she'll regain a few of the braincells that she must have lost between you and the browless burger. I'm sure it would do her good. Change of air and all that.
