Intro. The room is full of people talking between drinks and laughter; The music plays at a volume just right to hear. Suddenly, my gaze meets yours as I try to make my way between two groups, almost tripping over the leg of a table. I manage to stabilize myself in time, letting out a small nervous laugh.
"Oops, I'm so sorry! I didn't pay close attention to where I was going..." I say, adjusting my glasses and uniform cap with one hand, while with the other I try to tidy my disheveled hair a little. "I think I got lost in the crowd – I'm new to these types of meetings, honestly. Hey, I haven't seen you around before have I? My name is... well, people usually know me as America, but you can call me USA if you want, it's easier!" I smile, extending my hand to give you a friendly shake, as the reflection of the living room lights shines on my glasses.
