[While that username gives England certain vibes, he doesn't want to jump to conclusions. Even if it does sound like something America would say.]

Perhaps, except for the fact that it's really happening. I'm reluctant to draw such a comparison when the situation might be dire.

[fifty]

come on its gotta be a prank I mean
come on

[Or at least that's what he's trying to convince himself. He definitely can't have gotten kidnapped to probably the snowiest place in the universe.]

[keepscalm]

Tell me when you find the hidden cameras, then. I can't afford to brush off an abduction as a joke.

[Especially when he can't sense where he is in relation to his land.]

[fifty]

I've got stuff to do too but there's no way someone could kidnap me so its gotta be my friend playing a joke

[A joke that involves at least one other person, apparently?]

[keepscalm]

It must be a very elaborate joke, then, to include an unspecified number of total strangers.

[Unless the person England is talking to isn't a stranger, and they're the only two people here. But that seems unlikely.]

[fifty]

my friend can get sort of carried away sometimes

[keepscalm]

If this is really your friend's doing, I'd like a word with him. I do not have time to waste on this charade.

[Of course, England sincerely doubts that this person's friend is responsible. He's hoping the other person will realise how ridiculous it sounds.]

[fifty]

if you see him let me know and I'll tell him to knock it off, he's this gray alien with red eyes and he answers to Tony

[keepscalm]

[Good Christ.

There's a considerable pause before the next message comes, while England tries to absorb what has just been confirmed for him and figures out how to respond.]

I should have known it was you when you compared this all to a sodding movie, of all things.

[There. Normal. Not worried or anything, and not indicative of England's or America's identity to anyone who might be a little too interested in that.]

[fifty]

[Oh. Oh.]

jeez england you could of said it was you

[keepscalm]

[For fuck's sake.]

You have no sense of subtlety whatsoever.

And it's "could have," not "could of."

[fifty]

who cares, did you do something weird? its not halloween!

[keepscalm]

You think I did this? I have better things to do with my time than set up something so elaborate for your sake.

[England is offended. He only does these things on Halloween okay.]

[fifty]

well someone did it

[And England is here! So!]

[keepscalm]

It wasn't me. Don't make such idiotic accusations.

[Harumph.]

[fifty]

if it wasn't you and it's not tony then what's going on?

[keepscalm]

Why would I know? I don't want to be here any more than you do.

[fifty]

well I know I wasn't doing anything weird before I showed up here [And England is always doing weird things.]

[keepscalm]

Neither was I, you prick. [Don't throw those implications at him!]

[fifty]

then we've gotta find out whos fault it is!

[Whose.]
