[Ladies & gents: Scout. He's not the brightest. Just don't tell him that! Anyone who's talked to him so far may have gotten this idea. He's seen a lot of weird things in this town, but something has been brought to his attention that is really bugging him.]

[unfiltered voice post! filtering, what is that]

OK, I know this town is super-friggin'-weird, an' that people who get pulled inta this town may not necessarily be from the same place I am from... however THAT works. But I've also been told people 'round here also think they are countries? How can a person be a country? That... that is not possible. A person cannot be a country. A person is a person, and they LIVE in countries, they cannot BE a country. An' I haven't seen anyone runnin' around here... shaped like... France 'r somethin'...

[At this point even he's not sure where this is going.]

ANYWAY. If yer one of these people, I would love it if you could explain ta me how this even works, otherwise I'm callin' bullshit on alla youse. Otherwise, it'd sure as hell be nice if ONE thing in this stupid town made sense!

It's... what? How can patriotism be traumatic?!

[human-pretender.livejournal.com]

Tyrannical countries forcing propaganda. Or, just being raised from a young age and having your life revolved around patriotism.

It's a possibility, not an answer.

[He takes a moment to process this.] OK, I think I get what yer sayin'. So you pretty much think they're crazy too then? Cuz I mean, they're all tellin' me how they're tied in with how the country itself is doin', and that they're pretty much immortal as long as their country exists... I suppose they don't really got a way to prove this, actually. But it's a LOT of people claiming the exact same kinda craziness!

Well, if the fact is that they're crazy, it's not by their own fault.

However, there's the concept that we're not of the same worlds, and it may be that from theirs, that is truth.

Matter of factly, I'm not human myself.

Yeah this whole other-worlds thing is a little new to me too, but I think I'm gettin' the idea, crazy as it sounds.

I'm startin' to think that me and the rest 'a the BLUs and REDs are the only ones who ARE human.
