If you get killed, does someone replace you?

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

It's not exactly easy for us to die.

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

So is a nation defined by the land where the nation is, or to the people with a national identity? And you said nations that o longer exist still have... umm one of you?

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Both? I mean, were not really sure ourselves.

Not always. Uh. Roma Antiqua disappeared when his empire fell, but I'm still here, even after the Reunification.

What's with all the questions, huh?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

Hmm, interesting.

I'm a paranormal investigator. And I've never met anyone who's claimed to be a nation before, I want to make sure I understand it correctly.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

I figured something along those lines, but what's your name?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

Dib.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Hah! What were your parents smoking when they named you?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

No idea. They should have been original and attached a 'p' to a neighbor's name, like some other people.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Oooh, touchy. Mind you, that's in English. He actually spells his name as, "Россия."

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

(Yeah, but I think Dib only knows English and possibly Spanish; unless you count computer languages.)

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

(Oh, too bad. Gil's fairly multilingual. It comes from living in Europe, I suppose.)

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

(Problem wth puns; they never translate well.)

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

(Shame. Excluding the fact that German humor is a very Special thing.)

Anyways, what were the characters doing?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

(Oh well, I'm not sure humor always translates. Except slapstick.. that seems to be universal. I guess because it's nonverbal...)

I think Dib was mocking the simialrity between names.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

(Yeah. Something like that. And don't get me started on period specific jokes.)

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

(Yeah, I get the feeling Aristophanes would be a great deal funnier if I knew the politicians he was mocking.)

But honestly, I think my father must have thought it was too much of a hassle to have more than one syllable in a name.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

(Haha, exactly.)

What a lazy bum.

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

Well, he was supposed to be the greatest scientist in the world... I think he would have fogotten our names if they were longer...

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Our? There's two of you?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

My sister Gaz.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Ah. She's not a "paranormal investigator" too, is she?

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

No, she knows Zim's an alien, but she doesn't care about much besides video games.

[regionseizer.livejournal.com]

Riiight.

[paranormalpi.livejournal.com]

Now I'm not even sure what you're going 'riiight' about.
