_{[ A quick, organized opening here! America stands in his quarters, his little gray alien friend in the background, seeming busy drawing on a piece of paper. Don't mind him, he's just an alien doing his thing (and never leaves America's side.)
America's posture is surprisingly straight, and he takes a breath. ]}

Yo yo yo, you guys! Haha, Right, yeah. Just sayin'-- let's not totally forget that at some hella estimated time from when I arrived here, it was June --pffff-- SOMETHING or another, 2013. This means like, woah, all those star-spangled decorations are poppin' up at every craft store and bitches trying to plan their BBQs! It's really fucking awesome. Why? Hah, are you stupid? Cause it's my birthday on the 4th of July. BOOYAH!

Now! Who the shit knows what the date is now, or where you've come from, maybe the 4th of July didn't exist, but I'm telling you-- telling you now, bro-- I'm not going a round without having a CELEBRATION one way or another! Crazy-weird spooky-suspicious haunted space ship or NOT! Hahaha! Even if it may not be the precise date, this is a time to reflect on the LIBERTY and the FREEDOM of America!

So yeaaaaah, YEAHHH, HAHAHA-- basically, YEAH, I AM saying, we should totally throw a party for me. It may not be the same with the hottie chicks in bikinis and the grill outs and fireworks, BUT, we can still reflect on America and how great it-- and -- I am.

_{[ A beat. ]}

Maybe have a drink or two! I can handle my booze well!
That aside! I don't think I've properly introduced myself over the network. You can call me Alfred F. Jones, and I'm one of the three Nations on this ship. You got some beef about it or questions, man? Talk to me! I'll be glad accurately to fill you in about us!

I'm also pretty happy to bro it out with you dudes and lend a hand or two with anything. I'm pretty good with a gun if that means anything! Well, right! That's all! Tell me what you think!

_{[ A salute, then he turns it off. ]}

Hn, well... last I heard, the current date's nine-thirty-nine... After Earth. [Who the hell knows what year "AC" had ended.]

...

D'you really think now's a good time to be thinkin' 'bout that kinda stuff?

Are you telling me to just forget about my own birthday?

Dude. Duuuude. What the dick. I start thinking about the 4th of July probably as early as MARCH!!

And yeah, YEAH, last time I was here, I made that discovery, THANK YOU-- VERY MUCH. Still doesn't mean my head is in that After Earth bee ess or whatevs. To me, it's the end of June and that means it's probably 'bout time to celebrate my birthday.

I'm not asking much-- just a little recognition!

[Sigh.] I'm just sayin', we tend to lose a lot of time in between jumps here. It could currently be June or July or Christmastime right now and we'd have no way of knowin', that's all.

Yeah, YEAH! But to ME, me--

_{[ IT'S ALWAYS ME-ME, omf. ]}

--It's near the 4th!! And since it's my celebration, I say we just kind of kick back for a sec and take things easy! Doesn't mean we gotta go ALL OUT, haha, that's kinda impossible here in space.

All I'm asking, bro, is some hang out time-- maybe throw a few England insults around.. mingle.. you diggit?

Whatever, man. If that's what you wanna do, then go ahead and knock yourself out.

[It's not like it's a far cry from what people do around here already. Hell, he saw a girl declaring a shipwide birthday celebration, so WHY THE FUCK NOT.]

--You're gonna join me?
Riiiiiiight?

I'm... busy. [Shit, no, need to make an excuse for-] Gotta feed my birds.

[Stuuuupid!]

you wwant a party
on this ship
for your wwrigglin day
that might not evven be happenin any time soon in this univverse

Bro your V and W key sticks jsyk.
OHHH well i mean i know we can't really have a BIGBIGBIG party like maybe i'd want but we can just chillax for a bit and laugh at how silly the English were a long time ago.

Y'ANNO JUST THE ESSENTIALS.

uuugh a course this is howw this goes dowwn
wwhatevver i did it once
they arent stickin this is just howw i type its a cultural thing get ovver it

anywway wwe dont need to givve you a party its completely pointless an there are wway more important things to do on this ship than throww you a party

Yeah well but NO.
Throwin a party for me is totes a CULTURAL THINGY where i come from so put that in your pipe and smoke it, broski.

[Very matter of factly:]

If you're going to deem it July 4th, don't forget to celebrate Captain America's birthday as well.

[He's not going to touch the alien or the claims that he's America because he's seen weirder.]

_{[ wwwwwoooaaah WHO IS THIS MYSTERIOUS GUY WHO RECOGNIZES CAPTAIN AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY? MARRY HIM RIGHT NOW. ]}

Woah, dude!! You celebrate his birthday too?

It'd be bad form to not celebrate a friend's birthday.

[At least Tony considers Steve his friend... what Steve thinks is a whole different thing.]

A friend as in... you personally know Captain America?

_{[ be still his beating heart. ]}

I mean, dude, not surprised--! Who is this?

The really rich one. [He really shouldn't tease fans, but he can't help himself.]

That'd obviously be none other than Tony Sta--

WOAHHHH SHIT DUDE!!! I wasn't expecting to find comic book dudes up on here!! Right? No Robert Downey Jr kinda shit? Like the real deal!

(Though, Downey Jr. is hot stuff....)

What are you doing here, man?

[He flips over to video and gives a small wave at the camera. He's pale and a bit underweight, but most importantly, he's clearly not Robert Downey Jr.]

Same as everyone else here. One moment I'm with the others, the next I woke up in a tub of goo.

[He pauses.]

By the way, there's another person who claims he's me. Looks like Robert too. Did they make a movie?

[While he was aware that his life was known in other worlds he hadn't actually known until now that it was through comic books. It makes sense though.]

_{[ NOT ROBERT DOWNEY JR BUT STILL HOT. ]}

Yeah, YEAHHHHH! They were great movies, but nothing beats the comics! I get all nostalgic when I read them now. It's sweet.

Robert plays your part and yeah. Good shit.

[SWEET THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT.]

And did they also have Jeremy play Clint and Gwyneth as Potts?

[If it's been established that he knows Uma Thurman personally, then why not be first name basis with other celebrities.]

Un-fucking-believable.

[ and this is allegedly the nation in whose name brad fights? ]

BELIEVE IT, DUDE!!

_{[ ... ]}

Hang on, what are you talking about?

You're kidding, right?

Not really. Did it sound like I'm kidding?
What'ya so unbelieved about, bro?

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free and you're shouting about your fucking birthday.

No wonder the world hates us.

[ all said in a very dry tone. he is actually a little upset about this but you wouldn't be able to tell from his voice — that's mainly sarcastic. ]

Edited (where did that g go?) 2013-07-08 20:03 (UTC)

Can't make a fire here. No - [quick switch to english] - grill outs.

[JUST IN CASE AMERICA ATTEMPTS IT. Buzz Killington at your service, and all.]

Hey, heeeeey. Dutchman. You know, we could totally improvise. Just give me a bunch of paper and a lighter and we'll get this going in no time, pronto!

Mm. [That means no.] Mean you're not allowed to make a fire. Somethin' about spaceships.

[Maybe you should explain that further, ned.]

Like how ya can't make a fire on a submarine.
