[Sam is sitting crosslegged on the floor, bouncing a rubber ball against the wall of her apartment and holding the SFC with the other.]

So - we've had a lot of new arrivals lately, which is cool -- or not cool, I guess, depending on how you look at it -- and I was kind of wondering if there's any set schedule or whatever when it comes to people coming back. That happens, right? Sometimes people show back up with their memories of this dumb place?

[A pause. It's not like she misses anyone or anything! >| Finally, the goth girl waves at the camera, ball in hand.]

And hey there, six billion new people! I'm Sam.

Yo.

For your question -- apparently I came back? Well, I used to be here but for a long while it seems and then I left. Then I came back recently but... I don't remember anything here. It's really foggy.

[nightmerica]

Hey.

I've met a couple of people who remember things. Was just sort of wondering -- I don't know.

What's your name?

[flags]

Ah, America. I'm America.

-- Though I guess that might be weird to you? It is to others. Call me Al.

[nightmerica]

Your parents named you America.

[flags]

Wha? No! I don't have parents. ... Unless England counts?

[nightmerica]

[She squints at him.]

Hold up - like, the country England?

[flags]

Yeah. I'm the United States of America.

[nightmerica]

And this isn't a joke.

[flags]

Why would I joke? I'm the personification, if it clears things up a bit.

[nightmerica]

Still, that's pretty bizarre.

[A pause. Okay, she realizes she just called him 'bizarre' and might feel a little bad about it. :T]

Just not what I'm used to is all.
