[blinks a few times, his brow furrowing together a little as he leans forward a bit, reading the information]

...the Great Depression?

[frowns a little, leaning back on his heels for a moment]

I dunno, man-- It sounds like you're crazy, or somethin'. It's only the 1920s, and neither of those things have happened. So, I do think you are.

*he sort of just sighs and takes his phone back, pulling up some info about World War 2*

*he turns it over to Alfred, showing him the information*

World War Two. It happened. Really bad moment in history, sad to say. Right after the Great Depression, too. 

I’m not on anything. I promise.

[STARES AT HIM SOME MORE]

Whoa whoa, hold up man--

What're ya talkin' 'bout? Like, I have honestly know idea what yer talkin' 'bout-- Ya ain't independent, least...not now. An' World War One didn't even happen a full decade ago and yer talkin' about a World War Two??

Maybe 'cause it didn't happen, duh--

No, no; man, you can jus' tell me what yer on, okay?

Um.. It’s been a while since World War One, you know.. There’s been World War Two, in fact. Your people occupied my lands for a bit during that time- You were the first person to recognize my independence, too-

How do you not remember all of this stuff?

And I can pinch you, if you’d like.

[won't he be in for a surprise]

[GRRR--]

Well, ya see.

It's for a good cause-- ta help out some hunger, an' stuff. Ya'know??

What is the cause, man?

[ANSWER HIS QUESTION OR GET NO FOOD FROM HIM]

[isn’t aware it’s the 1920’s]

[simply thinks you’re one of the cosplayers or someone who likes the 20’s clothes]

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[he understands man]

[laughs a little]

I think it is. For a very good cause indeed.

Is it for a good cause?

[very important question for him to give up his food]

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[glances to him, raising a brow]

Well, now ya have.

An' everyone asks me that same question. What, do ya not know what a sacrifice is? Jus' like, sacrifice some food, or somethin'.

[squints at]

I didn’t hear about any sacrifice. What do you mean sacrifice?

[casually munching on hamburger. yup]

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[Stares at him intensely.]

[Stares down at the phone and then back up at him]

Yes it is, it has to be an' I don' care 'bout some calendar c'mon-- Ya'know, World War One an' stuff?? Didn' happen all too long ago?? An'--...

You've got to be crazy, maybe this is a dream 'cause--this stuff. [Holds the phone back up] Is insane.

It’s a cellphone. A smartphone to be specific.. ‘Gets internet, has apps, that kind of stuff.

It’s a pretty common thing to have. Look at the date, it even says 2013. Sorry….. Alfred, but it really isn’t the 20’s anymore.

Ya can do me a favor an' jus' leave yer sacrifice right there by the front door.

Remember that yer bein' a mighty help when ya do this, thank you.

[2013 whAT.]

[blinks a few times] It's the 1920s man I--

[holy poop]

[reaches out to take it from him, examining it for a moment in silence]

...where'd you get this--?

*he just stares at him*

….No, no. It’s not the 1920’s. It’s 2013. 

*narrows eyes*

You sure you’re okay there? Because you look pretty convinced it’s the 20’s- Here.

*He pulls out his phone* 

Does this look like something from the 1920’s?

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

Well-- If you say so.

Mine's Alfred. --Okay, now you go.

Good evenin’ sir an’ nah, thanks for the offer though—

[Blinks] …You—

…what’s yer name?

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

Now see-- [stops]

[did he just say 2000]

Dude, my memory ain't goin' funny on me, but I think yers jus' might be-- We haven't even gotten out of the 1920s yet, man! All this crazy talk 'bout 2000 an' it ain't even here yet, psshh.

*snort*

Of course I do. Although, I wouldn’t really use the term decade, considering there’s only been one decade after 2000. *squints eyes* Is your memory going funny on you? You’re way too young for that-

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[blinks too, what is going on]

Everythin's jus' fine an' dandy--

Ya act as if ya don' even know what decade we're in.

[Blinks, staring at him for a moment] [nice save]

That’s crazy talk. You’re always—

[Blinks again] Why d’ya look older than ya normally do, man?

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

I see... Well, I guess yer sorta right there then--

[blinks, glancing at her for a moment]

He is? Who's like, the main character then? What even is this guy's name?

Seeing as they keep doing what they did to spoil the child in the first place, I do believe it’s safe to say that they don’t know how they’re spoiling their child.

[small huff]

And he’s only a minor supporting character.

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

Ya wouldn't?

[chuckles a little] Well gosh.

Nuh uh. I wouldn’t mind being your girl.

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[stares at her a moment before looking to the book]

... [STARES AT THE PRINT]

... And this really upsets you? How could they not notice they were spoilin' their child, though?

I’m not babbling.

[hands him book anD POINTS TO EVIDENCE OF APPARENT BAD PARENTING]

Look at that ridiculousness. Spoiling your child and doing nothing of it. I doubt they even noticed it happening.

[notrevolutionbutrestoration-blog]

[blinks a few times]

[he looks really confused right now--calm down]

... What--exactly--are you babbling about-?

[he keeps his brow raised, his smile growing a bit]

Oh? Ya wouldn't?

Y’know, I’m not opposed to doing that on a regular basis.
