_{[ There's a bit of fuzziness-- chattering-- like a conversation between two people. One has a high pitched voice and seems to be dropping the F-bomb with indescribable chatter, and the other is entirely too loud. Way, way too loud. There is a bright light, and then, two red eyes belonging to an alien creature peer into the communication device-- and then, the loud voice is heard again-- ]}

Dude! What in the name of Liberty's lingerie do you think you're doing! This is like hardcore stuff, like, super way cool hardcore stuff probably seen right out of the X-Files! Tony, my number one man, don't you drop that! Give me that!

_{[ The device it jerked from the alien creature, who doesn't seem pleased with this at all. We now see a set of blue eyes and glasses with blonde hair--
aaaaaand. He's panicking.
Of course America was going to to jump to the cellular device and post to the network before anyone else are you kidding me-- ]}

Okay! OKAY! Like, I need all of my back up ASAP here pronto! We've been kidnapped-- okay, no, actually, this is like--

_{[ He pants, looking around. There is still a good amount of blue goop on his face and good lord America get dressed you're still in your star and striped underwear. ]}

OKAY YOU KNOW HOW YOU'RE LIKE MINDING YOUR OWN BIZWHACK AND SUDDENLY YOU GET THAT WEIRD SINKING FEELING IN YOUR BODY LIKE DEJA VU LIKE FREAKY WEIRD DEJA-VU, Yeah, man, TOTALLY getting that feeling and it's freakin' me out, man! Holy SHIT, this is bad! I was just jamming to Katy Perry like a boss and then I think I fell asleep on a bunch of like important government papers or something that I was supposed to do-- who gives a crap that's not serious right now-- I--

_{[ A BREATH!!!! Slow down, America! You talk like a thousand miles. And he does slow down, becoming a bit more coherent. ]}

--I-- think I've been here before, but I don't know--! What if somebody erased my brain like outta some sci-fi movie and put weird memories back in and now I'm going to be pregnant with alien children or something mondo-crazy like WHOA-- uhh-- hey! Can anybody even hear me? This isn't like an Apple product or anything I don't think so I hope I'm using it right--

Yo, uhh, France! China! Canadia! Even England-- and I guess Russia-- ANYBODY! What the hell is going on?

_{[ Welcome back, America. Your memories of this place will gradually come to mind-- but here you are-- impulsively reacting without thinking as usual. Here's a permission post for 4th walling. ]}

...Oh hell, you're back.

[hi, America, hi, Ianto remembers you]

[herocomplex]

Back? What do you mean back?
Are you telling me that I'm back like I've BEEN here before kind of back--?

_{[ HELLO he doesn't quite remember you, maybe you can jog his memory a little ok. ]}

[darkholme]

America! You're-

[ back!! but instead of proclaiming something that's already been so eloquently stated by the man before her, she gets distracted by- ]

--Who-o's your friend?

[ IS THAT AN ALIEN????? ]

[herocomplex]

Oh, hey! Chick from X-men! Man, I don't remember your name cause there are so many hot actresses in my movies. But yeah, Raven-girl!
Don't worry, it's just my friend, Tony. He doesn't do anything but be my side kick like any hero should have.

Hey, listen. I'm talking to this other kinda douchey bag guy-- I don't know if he can hear this conversation or not-- but appearantly he says I've been here before and you recognize me by my country name and not Alfred Jones like all the other humans do--

He's not lying, right?

[testgasm]

America!! Are you--oh, god, please tell me you remember me because I really don't want to have to explain the past year to you.

[herocomplex]

_{[ whoaaaah somebody else recognizing him this is kind of weird.
But, the more he's here and the more he feels his disorientation wearing off the more he kind of-- ]}

Uhhhh.

_{[---nope. ]}

video. is this a terrible idea? this is a terrible idea.

[xwing]

[ luke lifts hands (one covered in a black leather glove), making a 'slow down' gesture with a slightly stunned, reluctantly amused expression. ]

Take a deep breath, you're going to be fine. We've all been brought here, though it seems to have been a sort of.. accident. You're among friends, though.

1/??????

[herocomplex]

_{[ is that--
with the glove-- ]}

_{[ be still beating heart--- ]}

[herocomplex]

LUKE SKYWALKER!
YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!

_{[ that is it. that's the tag. ]}

voice;

[za_rodina]

How many times are you doing to show up?

[Christ, America, are you like a cat or something. How many lives do you have left?]

voice;

[herocomplex]

_{[ Well, DAYUM. Here to put an even bigger kink in everything is somebody he kind of actually expected hearing-- ]}

Hey, bro, I knew you'd be all behind all this! What the hell gives? I thought we were broskis and shit with all those recent treaties and everything?

Yeah? So? Why you gotta kidnap all the people and be all hatin'?

_{[ deja vu. ]}

video.

[organfarm]

Woah, an' I thought I was freaked out when I got here --

[ wait, that's not the most pressing issue at the moment ]

I mean -- what the hell was that -- that thing that you took this thing from! The uh -- red eyes! Alien! What the hell was that?!

video.

[herocomplex]

He's my sidekick! Isn't he badass! He crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico some time ago and I just kind of adopted him. Some people have bumper stickers they say.. My kid is an honor student!
I have one that says: My kid can perform lobotomy on your honor student!

But seriously-- That's not important right now. What's important is the fact that everyone is safe and we all need to stay calm-- especially me.

Are you alright or have you been here awhile like some of the people I've spoken with?

[video]

[circumitus]

[..."Déjà vu" indeed.]

Still noisy.

video.

[herocomplex]

Who's still noisy? I'm not noisy--
I guess I kind of am, but it's just the right amount of noisy.

voice;

[handelaar]

[There is no way to explain in either similes or metaphors or Dutch or Nation or English or anything, just how over this he is. Blah blah blah America talks too much blah blah blah America's back and... still talking too much, apparently.

Dude does not even listen to those 1609.34 kilometers per hour of gibberish. Just clicks his device on and sighs. Enunciates everything as carefully as he can, in English.]

Freaky weird deja-vu.

[Yeaaaah his French pronunciation is better than his English.]

voice.

[herocomplex]

_{[ --! ]}

Hey! Who is this? You sound really-super familiar-- you're some European country or something, right?
Don't worry, I'll protect you!

video

[walksonrooftops]

America! [Not quite a shout but surprised all the same, and he suddenly peers down so closely he nearly smacks his face into his communicator.]

You are back. [And he's sure America knows as much by now but still, it bears repeating!

He's still got his "awesome side-kick" ribbon...somewhere in the mess he calls his room. In fact, he looks aside for a moment to check if it's anywhere in sight, but it quickly becomes clear that finding it will take some digging.]

video.

[herocomplex]

Kitty-side-kick dude! Damn, man! I remembered you, but I totally forgot you name so hahahaha, fuck that-- at least I remember you!

You.. haven't left this place yet--! What gives?

video;

[51stcentury]

[Oh yeah, he definitely remembers you from the first jump. Remembers how you stirred up trouble - though not necessarily in a bad way. Remembers how you and Ianto used to get on, whenever he'd listen in on the conversations. Jack cracks a wide smile.]

You sure know how to talk. Gotta say, this place hasn't been quite as lively without you.

[He doesn't miss the alien creature that appeared on the camera first.] Who's your friend?

video.

[herocomplex]

_{[ nope. not ringing a bell AT ALL-- sorry Jack. ]}

Who, uhhh-- Tony? Everybody is curious about Tony. I'm really not supposed to let anybody know I have him according to my boss. We even told the citizens his crash landing was just a weather balloon...
But, I guess the cat's out of the bag. He had this communication device before I could get it a--nd--TONY, PUT THAT DOWN IF YOU TAKE THE SAFETY OFF OF IT I'LL BE PISSED--

_{[ A beat. ]}

He was crammed in my locker! Poor dude.

Sup green text bro.

[dearlydeceived]

[ Deb has no idea what to make of any of this...this, but she knows she's amused. ] How the fuck do you jam like a boss to Katy fucking Perry?

video;

[herocomplex]

Well.
You turn up your boom box to the highest volume on Last Friday Night in the White House and I'll say that's pretty jammin'.

video;

[constructum]

You know… for as much as you drove me and the others crazy a while back – it's nice to see that you haven't changed.

[ which she means in the fondest of ways. (she sort of missed you, america) ]

[herocomplex]

Thanks! That's such a nice compliment to hear.

[incubo]

[ this is a super speculative look after a few minutes spent perusing this network post. ]

Jesus fucking Christ, my country's a goddamn maniac. Why'm I not surprised.

[ still.. he's pretty, so there's that. ]

Dude, have you, like, settled down now? You need a drink? I think you need a drink.

[herocomplex]

_{[ hey cool somebody just taking it as it is and not asking him a million questions about his identity-- he's pretty much 19 years old he has no idea what's going on with himself typically-- ]}

Settled down! Hahahahahhahaa---

_{[ That laughter sounds forced. ]}

Yeah, I mean-- chatting up a bit with some other folks as helped me calmed down but--
