3 Ghosts [English]
Feb. 5th, 2010 12:43 pmEvery time I think that my life couldn't possibly suck any more, it suddenly gets worse. Like it isn't enough to be stranded in some kind of creepy abandoned city. No, NOW we have to worry about starving and freezing. And monsters.
Is there any good news here? Ever?

Date: 2010-02-06 02:04 am (UTC)...Yeah, I've heard of you. Er, it. I've only lived in the US my entire life.
No one ever told me you were a person. Are you sure you're not making this up?
[voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 02:29 am (UTC)Oh hey, you're one of my citizens too?! Awesome, I might be starting to beat Japan at having more citizens here! Mostly New Yorkers. You stayin' at my embassy?
Sure I'm sure! I think the country holding hegemony over the would would remember who they are, yeah? Technical explanation is personification and the like, but it's weird that I even have to explain this to people.
Re: [voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 02:37 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm from Amity Park. Where's your embassy? I just moved into some place called Horton.
Personification, huh. [Now there was a familiar concept. He figured it must be something like how Clockwork could be the ghost of time.] I think I get it.
[voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 04:08 am (UTC)Amity Park...? Oh, right! [Must be some newfangled slang for Amityville.] Nah, my embassy's on Marshall! Actually I don't have an ambassador so I gotta run it, but I needed to set up some genuine safe territory as soon as Russia showed up.
Good! Lot's of people around here are crazy or something, because they just can't wrap their heads 'round the idea. What weirdos.
Re: [voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 04:13 am (UTC)I guess safe territory is a good idea. But what does Russia have to do with anything?
[voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 04:21 am (UTC)Kid, I know you're from the future, so I'm gonna let this slide. You ever hear of communism? Yeah. That. Oh, and ignoring the whole socioeconomic virus he's trying to infect the world with, he's the leader of his little "household"--and by that I mean prison--called the Soviet Union. The guy's batshit insane. Always been creepy, but ever since WWI he's just been off his goddamn rocker, killing his own people left and right, invading East Europe, blocking me from delivering food to my side of Berlin. Fricking East Germany helped with that one too.
Oh, and he kinda put missiles right near my vital regions.
Needless to say, I'm rooting for the day that bastard finally collapses. He needs to hurry up and collapse so the rest of us can clean up the mess he's made of the world, because God knows he's not gonna.

Date: 2010-02-06 04:44 am (UTC)Oh! You mean all that stuff about the cold war. I remember covering that in school. And all the movies.
I've never thought about Russia as a person before, though.
Man, that makes it a little worse to think about.
[voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 04:50 am (UTC)It's kinda a stretch to think of Russia as a person. More like the essence of evil and vodka wrapped into some fat human form.
Re: [voice; english]
Date: 2010-02-06 06:00 am (UTC)Um, okay? There's a lovely mental image.

Date: 2010-02-06 06:06 am (UTC)To make it more accurate, visualize him as a land whale.
Wait! I drew it a long time ago! Hold on a sec...
2/2
Date: 2010-02-06 06:07 am (UTC)An accurate depiction of Russia.
Time to make up pop culture for Danny's bizarre version of 2002.
Date: 2010-02-06 06:23 am (UTC)...I'm not sure whether that's disturbing or hysterical.
sob and America has no reason not to take his words as gospel
Date: 2010-02-06 06:44 am (UTC)Both, obviously. Just like Russia's entire existence.
If you stick to canon, only bad horror and monster movies exist. With names like Dead Teacher 5
Date: 2010-02-06 09:14 am (UTC)Seriously, why would anyone want to go see a movie about a ghost that gets half the stuff wrong when real ones already attack a couple times a week.
No worse than Saw IV
Date: 2010-02-07 04:40 am (UTC)Exactly! Except back home, they didn't attack all the time, just when I least expected. Here it's all the damn time!

...For what that's worth.

Date: 2010-02-09 07:38 am (UTC)ogod, now you're going to have him out trying to catch it. This makes perfect sense in DP logic.
From:everyone must pursue Latvia. It's like, the law of Discedo.
From:...You realize he's going to try and suck the rail tracer into the thermos now?
From:PLEASE DO
From:...I just realized something. No ghost powers? No ghost sense.
From:THEN HE WON'T KNOW THAT LATVIA ISN'T REALLY A GHOST HAHAHA and thus the RT tale continues
From:AND SINCE HE WON'T ADMIT TO GHOSTHUNTING, NO ONE SANE CAN FIND OUT AND WARN HIM!
From:then all he has to go off of are America, Denmark, and the Baccano cast. God help him.
From:This is a terrifying combination
