1st Maple Leaf (backdated to Nov 18 the day of his arrival)

[blackhorse]

[Canada greets Saeng Seong from inside his apartment, 3-07 in building 2. He wanted to send out a message before settling in. He sits at a table as he sends out the video. A polar bear cub is sitting in the chair next to him and reaches across the table to steal meat from the sandwich Canada was going to eat. Muffled music plays in the background coming from a next door apartment.]

Hi everyone I just arrived here. My name is Matt and this is Kumajirou. [He gestures towards Kuma without looking away from the camera and doesn't notice his lunch is being eaten yet.] I just have a couple of questions.

Are any of you familiar with someone named Alfred? I was told he's here too but I haven't seen him yet. He might be going by his other name, America. [He pauses to look towards the wall, the neighbor's music still seeping in. Better check that later- it could be him considering. As if by magic, the music stops.]

I'm still really confused about where we are exactly. -Or why they took us. I'm having trouble believing that physical contact can generate energy or keep us from getting sick. Usually you avoid touching someone while they're sick so you don't get infected. What have you discovered so far about-

[The sound of a crash is heard in the background and Matthew jumps and turns to look at something off screen. It isn't seen on camera, but the door to his apartment has just been flung open and after the sound of rapid loud foot thumps another figure enters the video feed, tackling Matthew (and his chair) to the floor with a crash. Kumajirou takes advantage of this distraction and starts eating the rest of the sandwich.]

MATT! YOU'RE OKAY! YOU'RE NOT IN A TEST TUBE!

OUCH! ALFRED GET OFF! Of course I'm not in a test tube. What are you talking about?

[Canada pulls himself up, rearranges his chair, and gives the camera an embarrassed smile and America a less than happy sideways glance. America pulls up a seat next to him and leans in to get on camera too.]

Um. I found Alfred. But I'd still like to hear about this world or at least meet my fellow "visitors."

"Your bear demon is eating your lunch." If you have a weird-looking companion, in Shura's mind, it's a demon.

... You know him?

[ Totally ignoring the rest of this entire broadcast, he's only focusing (although not necessarily on purpose) on the part that's relevant to what he knows. He knows America, so.. ]

Hello, America. [He smiles a little upon seeing him.]

Glad that you found him, Matt. Oh, and it's nice to finally meet you, America told me about you. [He recognizes him from a photo that America showed him once as well.] But 'fraid that the physical contact requirement is true here. Helped me from getting sick so far.

Yay! You found Lord Alfred!

[Cu Chulainn waves at the two nearly identical nations.]

Hi, Lord Alfred! I met Lord Canada already!

[It's sort of hard to miss the names 'Canada' and 'America' floating around, so...]

Matt-san, what exactly do you and Alfred mean by calling yourself after countries?

[oh hey, isn't that…]

So I see you've got someone from home, huh?
