Melting Clock: Quarantine

After Sam Henderson's announcement, the Contagion Containment and Treatment lab was going to get busy. Anyone suspected of being affected by the mysterious affliction would be brought here, and put into one of the large bubbles that would keep any potential contagious diseases in - and the patients themselves. Once in inside, they wouldn't be able to get out again until the Medical staff had cleared them.

And before they could do that, they needed to find out what was causing this - and why.

They had a lot of hard work ahead of them.

"Considering neither one of them lived all that long after his birth, that's a tough call to make." Her tone was clipped, if she was relying on village records at this point. Naruto had a registered birthdate, if she hadn't been able to find the names of his parents on record. He'd been entered into the orphan registry the same day.

Considering the timing, his mother had probably died in childbirth during the kyuubi attack on the village. His father, pending he was a shinobi (and he likely was) had died with the countless others protecting the village from annihilation.

It wasn't her story to tell, and she realized she'd said much more in defensive anger than she meant to. The only people with any right to criticize were podded -- or was standing right here in front of Marco.

"Does that make you either?" she asked, drawn back to a niggling remembrance of how hard he'd laughed when she'd mentioned possibly being Chinese. "Spanish or Anglo?" What an odd country name. Ang?

"Just me. Blond and black don't stand out as much, though Kakashi-sensei is white haired..." Her lips curled up in a small smile, wondering if that was a Hatake trait. Considering Chiyo's reaction, and how closely Kakashi was supposed to resemble his father, it might have been. "Doesn't exactly matter." Though if she thought about it, Sai added another black haired teammate, and Yamato evening them out with brown. If she considered herself the red-head, they had a full color spectrum on Team Seven, past and present. Unrelated, if amusing, realizations.

ImageMarco winced. "Right," he said, deciding that maybe he should drop the whole topic of this 'Naruto' guy.

He certainly didn't want to be hearing about dead parents right now. As weird as it was, talking about where his parents had been from was a much preferable subject.

"Am I Anglo? Dude, I'm not White," Marco said, rolling his eyes. "And Mom wasn't from Spain. They just spoke Spanish in the country she was from."

What did color have to do with anything? Or was White the Anglo country? Spanish was a language, and was spoken in other countries? Was this usual, or unusual? Did most countries not have a unifying language? She knew not everyone spoke the same language, even back home, but someone had to travel a decent distance to find someplace where they wouldn't be understood.

"All right, that's two more things you aren't, smart--ypants. What are you?" Since apparently the answer could be anything plus a rainbow orientation.

Image"Hispanic," Marco said promptly. Sakura might think they're talking about countries, but Marco had gotten the impression that they were actually talking about race. "Well, half-Hispanic. Technically."

"Half-Hispanic?" How was someone half of any country? "Do you have dual citizenship or something? And if Hispanic isn't from Spain, is it about the language? Countries who speak Spanish are Hispanic if they're not Spain?"

ImageMarco blinked. "Wait, what?" he said, staring. Was she seriously suggesting what he thought she was suggesting? "What the hell does dual citizenship have to do this? You think that I can't be a citizen of anywhere other than a 'Hispanic country', is that it?!"
encourage: (confused; by your sudden outburst)

"Aren't you?" She was taken aback, not understanding how what she'd asked was setting him on edge. "Half and half with some Hispanic country and some other country? Is Hispania some kind of region?"

[identity profile] lives2annoy.livejournal.com 2011-05-20 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
ImageFor a moment, Marco just stared. Then out of nowhere, he started laughed.

"Is Hispania some kind of region?" he repeated, barely getting the words out in between his shaking laughter. "Oh man. Hispania!"



encourage: (exasperated; I won't take you seriously)

Wasn't this exactly like the last time she'd tried figuring out the country politics of his world. Sakura tossed her hands up, turning around to leave. "That's it! I give up! I don't get how your countries even work!" She muttered at the end, "My vote's still on Jackass being a country made especially for you."

ImageMarco was just going to sit here and laugh at you, Sakura. Hispania! This was just classic.
