[He won't stop staring.]

[luckandpluck]

... you can't be serious about bringing me here.

I thought we had some kinda agreement 'bout where it is you're gonna go shoving me around. I mean, c'mon, I like attention and I like people and I like all the things that come in between, but... y'know everybody's got a limit. You can barely keep me up in other places as it is.

... mm, fine though. 'Guess I'll stick 'round here and see if any interesting stuff comes up or... something.

[luckandpluck]

It's not like I'm complaining! Just, well...

[He presses his lips together and thinks for a moment, yet the needed word to describe what he had intended to do refused to surface.]

... point is, it's not complaining.

[unionjackoff]

Well, then what are you doing?

[luckandpluck]

... commenting. Yeah, that's the word. It's called commenting, so it's not complaining and I'm not complaining so my point's been proven right there.

[unionjackoff]

Alright, so you're commenting. But you seem unhappy. I suppose that is why it's surprising.

[luckandpluck]

We can't all be balls of sunshine twenty-four seven, old man.

'Sides, it's not that I don't like being here. What I don't like's how she doesn't intend for me to stay here long. 'Course I know that might change in time, but still.

[unionjackoff]

I see. So you feel like you're being toyed with.

[luckandpluck]

After dipping my feet in somewhere I like being in, knowing I'm probably not gonna stay there for long sucks, y'know?

[unionjackoff]

[oh... that makes him sad]

I'm sorry. The things with muns... They are fickle, like all humans are. Their lives are shorter, so everything is always a big rush.

[luckandpluck]

It's not like I don't know that. Though now that y'mentioned it, given it's their headspace I'm in, I wonder what's that gotta mean for me.

[But ah, he shakes the thought away before he delves into it completely.]

'Guess all I can do's hope they change their mind and decide to stick 'round eventually. Unlikely for now, but there's still a chance, right?

[unionjackoff]

Yes, there's always a chance. [though England is more the pessimist-type, he hates seeing America down in the dumps. it bothers him! so he'll try to be hopeful, if only to see this one around more] Where is it you're staying right now?

[luckandpluck]

[Hope is enough to get his spirits up, though to say he's still a little far off from his usual giddy level. Ah, well-- if he waits long enough maybe his mood will brighten by itself.]

Well mun had this place they wanted to try out, but it seems to be dead so far so... nowhere, I guess.

[And he gives a slight shrug.]

[unionjackoff]

Ah, dead games. That is a pity. There have been games like that for my mun, as well. And the past few games I have been in have all eventually petered out.

[luckandpluck]

Well, you've got somewhere to stay at least, right? It's better than nothing.

[unionjackoff]

Right now, yes. But what of you?

[luckandpluck]

'Guess mun and I are just gonna look around for now. I mean, I don't really got anywhere else to stay unless that one place suddenly springs to life outta the blue... or unless you got other ideas.

[unionjackoff]

W-well... My mun still has been looking at a few other places for me. She was interested in alteredstates ...

[luckandpluck]

... well look at that-- it's caught the mun's interest too.

[While not set in stone, just the mere possibility certainly catches his attention.]

[unionjackoff]

[England looks down, feeling happy, but he's not going to say so. because what does he care if America goes there or not HE DOESN'T CARE AT ALL GOSH]

Haha... L-like I said. Fickle creatures...

[luckandpluck]

[He certainly doesn't expect him to say so, but that's quite alright with him-- it's not like America expects otherwise.]

Ficklest of the fickle, but I guess I don't blame them for it.

This is definitely gonna be new, though. There's wanting to be in a game, but I don't think I've been in an actual game before. Mun's real nervous, wow.

[unionjackoff]

You've never been in a game before? Hm, it's not so difficult, really. There are rules, but it's still a good way to make friends. ....N-not for me, obviously. But for them. The muns. It's a bonding experience. But my Lady can understand the nerves.

[luckandpluck]

Mm, figures there'd be rules. But it sounds like a good way to make friends for us guys too! I guess their just nervous 'cause mun's just... never really been in anything that's required a plot before. But they figure it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, so...

[And America assumes this hopefully means he'll be apped. Of course, that's up to the mun to decide, but--]

[unionjackoff]

[always up to the muns...]

My Lady says that she would be happy to help your Mun out, or at least share her knowledge. ...She's quite the pushy lass, though, so you might be better off figuring things out on your own. I think your mun will be fine if they do decide to go through with it. [england you're not fooling anyone]

[luckandpluck]

[If he's lucky enough he can have his way with it in the end. Maybe.]

Mm, mun's a little shy 'bout asking help, plus I'm real sure we'll get around to figuring things out by ourselves! It can't be that hard, right?

Hm... do you want me to go, though?

[unionjackoff]

M-Me? [gkk!]

[luckandpluck]

Yeah, you! I mean, you suggested it, so I kinda want to know what you think as... you.
