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.]

[Grins and waves.]

Yup, his name's Marco. He's a Cuban crocdile. Met him when I was a kid.

[ she waves back ]

It sounds like you've been friends for a long time. I bet he missed you a lot while you've been here, huh?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Really long time. Used to hide out with him and his family when I wanted to avoid Spain.

[Best days.]

Hopefully not too much.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

That's actually a great idea. I bet he wouldn't come anywhere near you when you were with something with teeth that massive. They're not so scary once you get to know them, though, right?

At least you guys are together again. How does he like Mayfield so far?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[Laughs at that.]

He's still afraid of Marco. They're pretty nice when you get to know them.

[And this one tends to like the people Cuba likes.]

Not too much. I think he's still trying to figure out where all the water is. I'm taken' him down to the park to the pond. So hopefully he'll like that better.

It makes me wish that they still lived at my house. They could have kept people like eyebrows and France out when I didn't want them around, although to be honest, I haven't seen France at all lately …

[ She bends down to Marco's height. Not exactly the greatest idea, but this is Seychelles. ]

I'm sure he will! Especially since I don't think people would like it if you brought him to the pool. [ not to mention all that chlorine ]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Amazing how guys like that get terrified of anything with somewhat sharp teeth.

[Marco looks at her. He's still incredibly confused, but Cuba's talking to her, so that means no biting.]

Yeah, plus all those chemicals wouldn't be good for him.

A shame they don't have a swamp or something around here.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

I know, right? You'd think that a little old crocodile would be nothing with all those weapons they've got.

[ she cautiously pats Marco's head. ]

Exactly. It's too bad there's no way to build one.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

They're afraid of nature now. Australia says it all the time.

[Marco just looks at her.]

I wish. And then figure out some way to build an ocean.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Is it because of how long they've been away from it?

[ she flashes a big grin at Marco. ]

I've actually asked a few people if it would be possible for nations to regain their natural environments, but they said it was highly unlikely. [ frowns ]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

That would make some sense.

[Marco opens his mouth a little.]

Oh yeah? I suppose there wouldn't be enough room if we all did. Shame though.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Then we ought to take 'em out for an adventure or two sometime!

[ ah! he smiled back, obviously! ]

I never thought about it that way. Still, it would liven the place up a little, don't you think?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

We could take them camping over to Australia's house and then accidentally leave em' there.

[Yes that's totally what it is...]

Make for an interesting walk. Go around the world on a street block.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

They'll be in good hands! Australie knows what he's doing if worst comes to worst.

[ it is in her happy little world 8( ]

I'd like that. At home, I'm so far away from everyone else that it's kind of a pain to travel even though it's nice to meet new people and see new places.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Yeah....look after them.

[Well he meant more just watch them scream and panic.]

Yeah. Sometimes bein' on an island is kinda isolating isn't it.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

They should be fine, though. What's the worst that could happen? [ a lot of things when you're someone who's been out-of-touch with Mother Nature for a couple of centuries, but. ]

Yeah. It's got its bonuses sometimes, I guess, but it's no fun to be forgotten all the time.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

They'd probably fight the entire time.

Yeah. I'd be happier if I didn't have that bastard America as a neighbour as well.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

In that case, they would probably be more dangerous to each other than the animals.[ the thought makes her laugh because the probability of that lot getting into a fight was fairly high. ]

Eh? Is he really that bad? He always seemed pretty nice to me, but then again, he's not my neighbor.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

....You know, you're probably right.

Trust me. He acts like a hero. But then try to tell him he can't do something? Like...take over your house because it's "better" for you, and you just don't know how to look after yourself? Then he's a terrible neighbour. He still has that stupid trade embargo on me.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

That was back in the days when he and Russia were still fighting a lot, right? [ because those sure were some memorable world meetings ]

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

That's when it started mostly.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

You'd think he'd be over it by now. Then again, he and Russia still don't seem to quite get along very well even nowadays …

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Stupid people are like that.
