16 dieciséis: Idkmybff ....is a freaken crocodile

[commie_island]

[Cuba was out for another day of wishing he wasn't stuck in this American town, when he notices the large package by the mailbox. Opening it up he finds a familiar face....of a kind.

A. Outside the house. There is a crocodile outside the house. Cuba is grinning. That is never good.

B. Showing the crocodile the park. Hope you aren't in the water.

C. Walking through the town with a crocodile, pointing things out to him. No this is not strange. There's a lot of insulting American things though.]

No, there isn't. It's depressing.

[Ignoring the bear and squirrel for the moment, she looks at Marco, then at Cuba.]

Is he going to bite me if I introduce myself?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. I'm dying for the ocean.

[What is landlocked...

Glances over at Marco.]

Marco? No, he shouldn't. He likes to snap at people sometimes, but he'll only bite someone if they're an idiot.

[Aka: someone Cuba doesn't like.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmmhm. You get used to three and suddenly you don't have any. I don't know how some people do it.

[Bending down to pat the crocodile now.]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Always felt sorry for the landlocked people.

[Marco let's her. Because he knows the name Canada. Even if it's not the guy Cuba's always apologizing to. No snapping.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

And the deserts. Poor things.

[All the pats. If they weren't out at the park, the poor creature would probably be getting hugged right now, because Canada's sense of what is safe around animals and what is not is a little skewed.]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[Marco's fine. He's had Cuba clinging to him since he was little.]

Yeah. All that sand and no water to go with it.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I think I'd go crazy. I have a hard enough time living too far away from a coast.

[In the tree above them, the bear continues on where Canada left off telling the squirrel it's rude, then starts trying to climb down. Except she's not always completely graceful and Canada is busy with some weird not-Canadian creature, so she calls out Cuba's name for help.]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

I know I would.

[And he'll just move over to help the bear. He's used to Mattie always having his around.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmm... [Canada will turn around to Kumarie more or less hanging off of Cuba's head, because she's an inconsiderate bear. The dominion makes a face briefly, then steps away from Marco to take her bear back.]

Sorry about her. She didn't just drop on you, did she?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

She gave me a bit of warning.

[Hello bear on head.]

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

That was sweet of her. She doesn't always.

[Even as Canada peels her away, Kumarie is sniffing at Cuba's head. No matter how often her owner says it, she has a hard time always buying that all of these countries are supposedly the same as they know home.]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Guess she likes me then.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

She must! She does tend to be better with former colonies than with the rest.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Probably 'cause were generally less jerkish then the old guys.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

That's probably it. Her criteria for biting people is generally just "are they from Europe?" so that makes sense.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles at that.]

They do tend to be jerks over there a lot.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I sometimes think it's a space issue. There's too many of them in that one little place. Of course you're not going to be sane if you're always fighting each other over everything.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Both true.

I'm sure there isn't something that they wouldn't fight over. And then we complain and they just act like we're too young to understand why it's important they're fighting over whatever the hell it is.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

When really, they're just sillies.

[Any by 'sillies', she means idiots. Shh, she can talk like a wee colony somtimes.]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's something in the water over there.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Or maybe in the wine? And tea, and... no, we should go with water.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Would explain a lot.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose we can't really blame 'em.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think I'll still blame them.

More fun that way.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

You're a little bit awful, you know. It's not their fault, really.
