Uno: When in Doubt Blame America

[commie_island]

[He wakes up and blinks slowly. This isn’t his house. He can tell just from laying there. This place is too....he looks around and after a bit of searching finds the phone. Have an incredibly angry Cuban yelling at you Mayfield, thick accent included]

America!

What do you think you’re pulling, kidnapping me like this?

If this is another one of your stupid schemes to kill my boss, I swear....

[There's a pause as he sighes and looks around.]

Shit. Your house is worse than I thought.

Y-yeah. There's a bunch of us here, not just me.

Did you get filled in on what sorta place this is?

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[He sighs]

Switerland and Mattie filled me in on a lot of it. Town is evil, we can't leave. Brainwashing and fake familes.

Anything else I should know?

[wafels.livejournal.com]

That's... pretty much it, actually. Uh... oh! There are countries here that aren't us! It's really weird at first, but you get used to it.

In fact, the whole "different worlds" thing is pretty weird, too.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Countries that aren't us? What do you mean?

....different worlds?

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Oh, jeez. Well, a lot of this is gonna sound crazy, but it's true, I swear.

There are people here from different worlds. Some aren't even from earth. But... you know how America's a guy, right? There's an alternate version where all the countries are girls. And the female America is here, too - with her England, Russia, and France.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

There are two America's?

[Clearly the important part of that]

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are. The other one calls herself Meriken. She's a bit easier to get along with, from what I've heard.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Meriken?

[He snorts]

I don't think anyone could be worse.

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Heh... he can be a bit much, yeah.

She's still America, of course. As stubborn as ever. But she's less annoying about it.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.

Hopefully she's saner then the bastard we have.

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Probably less of a headache, in any case.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

Most likely.

[He doesn't think anyone is as bad as their America.]

So Bel, how long have you been here?

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Uh... three months now? I got here just after Valentines' Day.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

And no ones found a way home yet?

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Sorry to tell you that we haven't. It sucks pretty hard.

[commie-island.livejournal.com]

[He sighs]

Wonderful.

[wafels.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

...it doesn't really get any easier, either.
