She's really not happy about the mun's plans for her.

[effronterie]

You are the worst! I'm not going to say thank you for wanting to send me somewhere. I like my islands! And they were much nicer before the eyebrows jerk started sending people over. So why should I be happy that you're sending me somewhere he is?

And no! I'm not happy to be seeing France, either! I'm mad at both of them right now, just like I'm mad at you!

...don't tell me to be more mature. I'm not going to be mature when you're sending me off to my death and condemning all my people to die, you - you...!

Meanie! I'll run you off just like I ran off Sullivan, just you wait!

[From 1812 to the Tower of Animus. This is one young nation who is really unhappy.]

[heroiccia]

Hah! I wouldn't worry too much! The Hero is there after all!

[effronterie]

The "hero"? I don't know who you're referring to. The only others of my kind there right now are the eyebrows jerk, and France, and a tiny America who is even younger than I am!

[heroiccia]

You're also forgetting the girl me who's from the Xmen! [And obviously the little him is also a hero as well!]

[effronterie]

"Xmen"? If she isn't a nation, then she's a human. And I don't see what a single human could do to change things there.

[heroiccia]

She not just a human! She's a superhero! Don't ya read comics?

[effronterie]

No.

[Comic books weren't widespread on her islands back in 1812, after all.]

Unless you're referring to political cartoons?

[heroiccia]

Nah, those are way to dry and boring.

[This is something that he was going to have to remedy then.]

[effronterie]

You're telling me? Some of them can be entertaining, but a lot of them... Ugh. They got even more boring after the eyebrows jerk started coming around.

What sort of comics do they have at your place?

[heroiccia]

Haha! Yeah England's stuff can be really boring and stuffy. Sometimes I think the guy has no sense of humor at all. [Though some of the stuff he does and says is pretty funny.]

Oh! But I got all kinds of kickass comics over at my place! Like cation, mystery, comedy...horror. Ya name i got it!

[effronterie]

His people sure don't have very good senses of humor! [She smirks as she recalls Sullivan's parting words as he resigned his position. Yeah... that had been a high point.] So I'm not surprised that he doesn't, either.

Bring them over, sometime. Or maybe I can slip away long enough to come look at them.

[heroiccia]

Don't worry about it! The Hero will bring a few over when I get a chance! That way you can see just how awesome they are. [England may not like it, but he always enjoyed looking for ways to troll the guy.]

[effronterie]

That sounds like a plan! I'll be waiting on you. Don't disappoint me, Mister Hero!

[heroiccia]

Ya dont have to worry about that! I never disappoint.

[She's probably going to have to wait for a little over a hundred years, but whatever.]

[effronterie]

Wow, it's so refreshing to see someone who's not too busy arguing to keep their promises!

[LOOKING AT YOU, FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

...though if it really takes a hundred years, America will probably get smacked with a fish before he gets a "thank you."]

[heroiccia]

[You know that goes right over his head. He could always just show her using his iPhone.

Though just how well that would end is unknown to him.]

Haha! I am a busy guy! But I always find the time to help out friends!

[effronterie]

[If he showed her his iPhone she would probably wonder what sort of witchery that was. Which could be pretty entertaining.]

That's impressive! I wish I had allies like you. [All she's got is a pair of bickering five-year-olds-- she means, England and France.]

[heroiccia]

[...That would be so worth seeing.]

If ya want we can be allies! [Even though last time he checked they were already on friendly terms.

But hey! Everyone wants a piece of Uncle Sam!]

[effronterie]

I think the eyebrows jerk might get mad if I start forming alliances without him, but... let's do it. He doesn't have to know, right?

[Seychelles winks. Anything to brighten up-- er, ruin England's day. Besides, these comics sounded interesting.]

[heroiccia]

Awesome! And even if he does figure it out I'll kick his ass for trying anything! [He flexes a little for emphasis.

If it does ruin England's then all the better! Plus hell be able to show her some awesome comics!]

Oh! I think I can show ya some comics right now f ya want.

[effronterie]

You can? Show me!

[She's a little demanding, if only because England hasn't gotten around to teaching her manners yet. Oh, well.]

[heroiccia]

[And out comes the phone!]

Sure, hang on one sec.

[That's fine, technically England never taught him any manners either.]

[effronterie]

What is that?

[She eyes the phone warily. Seychelles isn't one for technology, not in 1812. She supposes America wouldn't be holding it so casually if it were dangerous, but...]

How am I supposed to see comics on that?

[heroiccia]

Cause it has my collection stored digitally.

[And there we go! The pictures of The Avengers pops up.]

[effronterie]

What do you mean, dig-- How are you doing that?! Are you a witch?

[She's just going to back away and back away fast.] Don't cast spells to make it change images without warning me!

[heroiccia]

[Oh dear, Seychelles, you've never been more adorable until now.]

Magic? Pff, magic ain't real. This is something that one of my people made. It's called an iPhone.

[effronterie]

Let me see it!

[If it's not magic, then she's going to figure out how it works for herself! She makes a grab for the iPhone, aiming to pull it away from him unless he keeps it out of her reach. Which could be easy, given that she looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old and is as short as one might expect for a girl of that age.]

[heroiccia]

[Nah, he'll let her grab it. Though h e is more than a little worried she might end up breaking it.]

H-hey, take it easy with that. It's no exactly cheap, alright.

[effronterie]

I'm not going to break it!

[...she says, even though she has no idea how it works. She stares at the screen with an utterly perplexed expression before tapping it. She should just ask him how to make it work, but she wants to be able to figure it out for herself.

There's a pause, and then she taps the screen three times in quick succession. It doesn't do anything.]

[heroiccia]

[He notices her apparent inability to use the phone and grins a large, happy go-lucky grin. Then he reaches dow to try and swipe a finger along the screen, changing comic pages.]

Don't poke the screen too hard, ya gotta be gentle with it.

[effronterie]

I-I knew that! I was just... testing it.

[She pouts and looks back down at the screen, reading the current comic page. When she finishes it, she brings her hand back up to swipe a finger along the screen the same way he did, and when the page changes, she beams.]

I did it!

[heroiccia]

Haha! See, easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.

[He beams right back at her. She seems to be enjoying herself at least. Which is great in his book.]

[effronterie]

[She nods in agreement, not even bothering to ask what "easy peasy lemon-squeezy" is supposed to mean, and becomes more and more engrossed in the Avengers comics with each passing moment.]

Are these people real? The people in the comics? You talked like that one other girl who was an Xman or something was...

[heroiccia]

No, they're not, but sometimes they'll have real people as guest stars. The girl me a told ya about is one of those au types.
