Oh no! time for someone to make a bad decision! also, I feel I should clarify this. the underlined words are anything spoken (in his head of course) by the personality not in control. I feel that text shows how it would sound in his head or something.

Pinks POV:

(Before Antarctica talked to him)

'Well that meeting went well.' I say. Not well enough if you ask me... Red says in an angry tone. 'What makes you say that?' I ask. They are treating us like we're five. We are not five. We were never five! We were manifested as a seven year old. This is insulting! Red explains.

'Oh come on, it's not that bad. At least we are alive and in good hands and care...I hope.' I say back. Exactly, you hope. You don't think these people are actually going to be nice, do you? All they want is revenge. We can't trust any of them. 'well, it's your job to keep us safe. Ok, I'll stay wary.' Good

All this sudden I feel a tap on my shoulder. I jump a bit and look in the direction the touch came from. It was just my friend getting my attention.

She points to the other side of me and I see the same person from earlier. The one with the beanie and scarf. The one that looked interesting.

"Sorry, I was stuck in thought." I say. It's a believable thing to say considering the amount of information I just told everyone....was this a mistake?

"It's fine. I just wanted to say hi. I've never met you. I'm kind of the 'new guy' here." He says with a small smile. He seemed wary of my presence. Understandable.

"Hello, you already know who I am. May I know who you are?" I say, trying to sound as chipper as possible.

"My name is Antarctica. I am the personification of the southernmost continent." He says in an introduction type tone. I recognize that name. It takes me a moment to fully process what he said. When I did so many thoughts went through my head.

"Your the personification of an ENTIRE CONTINENT!?!" I say louder than intended. Him and JE laugh but I don't care. They're laughing at us! 'so?!' Stop talking! 'no!'

"They managed to populate Antarctica?! How many people?! Who owns the land?! Was there a turf war? Are you independent? What's your national language? Do you have your own language?" I say. I had so many questions, I couldn't stop myself.

But luckily JE put her hand over my mouth to shut me up. "Hay buddy, he might answer some of your questions if you give him a chance to talk." JE says looking at me.

I push her hand away. "Sorry, I got excited." I say, looking down. "It's fine. I don't mind it." He says.

"To answer some of your questions, the population changes all the time. I am populated with scientists from all over the world. There was no turf war and I am not technically independent. My land is owned by Britain, France, Australia, and Norway. There is a set of my land that no one owns. I speak many languages. I don't have a national one, but I do know American Sign Language." He says answering all the questions I asked just a minute ago.

I nod and reach to my side. Only to realize that there is nothing there. "Oh, das stimmt. Ich habe mein Buch nicht. Mist!" I say quietly to myself. [Oh, that's right. I don't have my book. Damn!]

"What did you say?" Antarctica asks Me. "In short. He wants to write this down." JE says. "You know German?" He asks her. Me and JE nod. "We learned each other's first language so we could better understand each other. We also learned English together, I got a head start though." I said proudly. Please, shut. Up.
