[Carol is seated in front of her console, in civvies. Actually, sitting might be the wrong term. She's more floating a few inches above her chair, legs crossed. She does this sometimes without thinking when she's sitting. She looks mostly unbothered by this whole thing. A little frustrated maybe but at most it seems to be a minor inconvenience]

So. Alternate universes are a bitch, huh? Or whatever you'd classify this as. You would think whatever bigger power it is you believe in would have decided by now that this has happened to me enough but I guess not. Oh well, what can you do? [Said oh so casually like she has just seen way too much of of this shit. Which she has. Weird happenings are sort of a thing in her life ]

Anyway, alternate universe craziness aside, my name's Carol. Nice to meet you guys. Under the circumstances and all. I'm sure you hear stuff like this a lot but let's just get this out of the way first: What's the progress on not being here anymore?

And while I'm asking things, how many people here are from Earth? Better yet, who here has heard of the Avengers, the X Men or Captain America? Or who knows anything about superheroes at all, even if it's not any of the things I just mentioned? Let's just say I want to know for my own reference.

[She'd also like to see just how many people ended up here from her world. Or a world similar to hers. Having more superheroes around never hurt. She pauses and glances off to the side, looking at something intensely for a minute as if considering something very important before turning back to the console]

Unrelated but can the fires around here actually burn things? Just, you know, curious.

Okay now you're doing it on purpose. [But for some reason she sounds amused rather than irritated]

In my world, yeah. It's like...well, to be honest I'm still not 100% sure what being a supersoldier means. I guess it's like being a better human. Stronger, faster, all that stuff.

Or maybe you just don't pay enough attention when other people talk about America. [So maybe he's not being clear enough, but he doesn't care. If she doesn't understand, she'll have to ask more directly to get any real information out of him.]

If you're stronger, faster, and don't age, then that's not really human at all.

Pretty sure we were talking about a person, not a country. [Personified nations are not a thing in her world so it doesn't even occur to her that Prussia could have been speaking of both a person and a country]

I meant more physically. He appears human. There are a lot of people like that where I'm from.

Guess there is something our worlds have in common then. [It's okay Carol, he'll finally let you in on his little private joke.] And you asked who the welp was, I told you. America's always done really stupid shit like that. Putting his flag on everything. You'd think he'd forget something was his if he didn't.

[Prussia you're the worst]

...So what you're telling me is in your world there are countries in human form? And this guy you were talking about is the United States of America?

Something like that. Think of him more like your overly happy mascot who thinks he can use hug robots and superheroes to save the world from global warming. [Prussia is kind of fond of America, actually, despite all that big-headed brat's ego, but he'll mock him as much as he wants. It's a sign of affection really.]

[Carol literally facepalms at Prussia's description of America]

Why does that sound exactly like how I'd imagine him to be? And I mean, superheroes can save the world from a lot of things but not....global warming. [Actually, maybe they could stop global warming....] Anyway, so, personified nations. Sure, why not? I've heard of weirder.

[Prussia is chuckling not because this woman is taking everything so easily.]

Exactly! There are way weirder things that exist. Like alternate universes where everyone is naked.

I wanna say that probably doesn't exist but I'd probably be wrong. [Why is reality weird] So, if you come from a world of personified nations, are you one too?

They even had cat ears. [He is so not kidding, which is the weirdest part about it all.]

I'm Prussia, the most amazing kingdom ever founded. [Obviously she should be awed by him.]

That....is weird. [She can't even think of a response beyond that. She's seen some weird shit in her time and somehow naked people with cat ears is extra weird to her] It sounds like the plot to some kind of really terrible porn movie, to be honest.

Prussia. Huh. [Not awed, sorry. But she also has enough social intelligence not to mention that Prussia isn't a country anymore] Nice to meet you, then.

I'm pretty sure France wouldn't have minded if it was porn. [Smart of her not to bring that up because it is the fastest way to get a defensive Prussia.]

Of course it's nice to meet me, but I guess you're not so bad yourself either. For an American superhero.

Pffffft. [She thinks she likes you already, Prussia]

"Not bad for an American", huh? I'll take it and consider it a quality compliment.
