achtentwintig - still a human
[After over a year in Mayfield, Holland still has his human body. He's not quite sure what that means; has he aged? Will he be one year older, physically, forever? He hadn't really seen nations age quickly; he did used to be much smaller, but he hasn't been little in over 300 years.
Anyway, he didn't feel terribly different. Injuries hurt more, his body got aches and pains that it never got before, and it was just so easy to be killed, as a human. But other than that . . . well, it was different.
So when he gets the mail and finds two familiar looking envelopes, he's eager to open them. He'll tear both open and look at the pictures inside at the same time.
And what he sees are this and this this. There's an enormous noise in the backyard, and when the Netherlands turns back towards the house, he'll see a mast standing out behind it.
He was still a human.]
A - For housemates and anyone happening by Mitchell Rd.
[There is a very large ship in the backyard of 1447 Mitchell Rd. Holland notices that it's smaller, smaller than it should be. Still, it takes up almost all of the backyard, and the masts are well-visible above the houses. The cannon sits in the lawn, the grass and ground underneath indented from the weight of the metal. A few cannonballs are nearby. Netherlands will spend a lot of effort wheeling it to the front of the house, eventually using the car to tow it.
If the ship doesn't catch the attention of the neighbors, a cannonball being shot down the street probably will. After loading it attentively he'll light the fuse and take cover. He's careful to avoid houses, but some of the cars might not be so lucky as the cannonball flies down the street..
He's impressed it worked; it looks like the cannon has been at the bottom of the ocean for some time and he was mostly expecting it to explode. Holland will ignore the crashing sound of a cannonball hitting something; he'll move the cannon best he can and leave it against the curb in front of the house where, he guesses it works okay as an accent. It doesn't really go with the tulips though; he'll spend the morning polishing it best he can and trying to get most of the rust off.]

[Holland remembers all the people he'd talked to while he didn't have any memories. One of those people is Lucas. He's going to visit his friend now, and try to clear things up. There is a knock on the door in the afternoon.]

Hoi, you guys; this is Netherlands. I'm myself now and I remember what I should remember. Sorry.
. . . . sorry about the cannon.

[That's his voice, all right. But why is he talking about the Netherlands? Is he saying that's where this city was -- can't be, everyone seems to agree Mayfield is in America. Besides, Mr. Thijs was missing his memories, not his sanity or his intelligence. And--]
You got your memories back?
no subject
You should call me Holland, or Netherlands. Thijs isn't my name.
. . . It's Czeslaw, right?
no subject
You were named after countries?

Or maybe you're a joker like Elmer. Or you're jut being difficult like Felix Walken probably can be....]
A thousand years? You're looking pretty good for someone of that age.
no subject
[He'll clear his throat a little.]
Thanks for your help, before.
no subject
It's all good, er, Mr. Holland. Was your head all right after all those drinks?
no subject
I have looked how I look now for a few hundred years.

no subject
[Seriously.]

[He's really only asking, and his tone isn't sarcastic or rude at all. It's almost like he really is only checking to make sure Czeslaw heard him.]
no subject
[He's expecting you to say you've also got eight arms or somethin'. Or maybe you can super-heal as well, Holland!]
no subject
So I don't ever really die, but sometimes it hurts though.
no subject
And were you born like that?
no subject
But I was little a really long time ago, and I grew.
no subject
[He's still not completely believing that a country could be human.]
So what should I call you? Mr. Holland?
