<sub>[ After going upstairs to her room and seeing this, residents of 1245 Williams Road will notice that Taiwan is nowhere to be found. Her cat will be there, though, with only half the ribbons she usually has on. It looks like she left through the back door. You can find her:

A Sitting in the same tire swing she got stuck in before in the morning. She's not stuck now, but she plans on sitting there all day, humming sad songs. ]

[ B Okay, no, this sudden bout of depression is getting her hungry. At around lunchtime, you'll find Taiwan standing in front of the Malt Shop. Oh, it's closed... She wanted to stuff herself silly with sweets, but it looks like that's not happening. She'll just stare at the front door. ]</sub>

I wanted the ice cream with the sparkles on it...

<sub>[ C Taiwan knows she'll get droned if she doesn't return in three days, but maybe that's for the best. She'll be kicking your mailbox, throwing rocks at your windows, drawing Hello Kitty on your property... I mean, ruining your Christmas. It's not much worse staying at home, but at least she'll be out of everyone's lives here in Mayfield if she leaves for good.

If anyone tries to confront her or call her out on it, she'll try to run away.

If anyone she's made friends with catches her eye, she'll run, too, but faster, and go great lengths just to hide from them. ]

[ OOC I'll be out of town from the 26th to the 29th! I'll be backtagging like crazy once I get back from the land of tarsiers and chocolate hills yesss. Merry Christmas! ]</sub>

[Since they're not stuck inside, he'll be out again, probably on his way to find somewhere quiet to practice. Spying the girl, he takes a moment before realizing who she is, and starts over towards the swing.]

Are you stuck again?

_{[ Taiwan looks up at him for a moment, then keeps her eyes on the ground. She doesn't feel like talking. ]}

No.

I don't need your help this time, so... _{[ go away, please? ]}

[Tank was walking around while holding both his ass and his abdomen while wincing with every step he takes.] What's the matter cutie?

[naicha]

I was--

_{[ o-oh ]}

I should be asking you the same thing.

[Out driving, on patrol. Edward notices your vandalism, Taiwan, and he is not amused. His car screeches to a halt in front of her and he honks his horn loudly, to get your attention.]

[naicha]

_{[ Ahaha, shit. She throws a rock at his car before running away. Hope he likes the big dent on his car door! ]}

[Tsubasa is outside too, planning to read her collection of stories from Mayfield in the park, when she notices Taiwan. A-Aww]

Is everything alright?

[naicha]

_{[ She doesn't know what Tsubasa looks like, so she doesn't run away, but she does turn her tire swing so that she's facing the other way. ]}

[ex_seventh238]

[She sees a familiar figure on her way home from an errand.

Except said figure looked miserable. D: On the 25th? What is this? You're getting bothered.]

Isn't it a bit cold out for ice cream, miss Taiwan? [She speaks up behind the shorter girl, with a soft and understanding smile. No need to ask the obvious, and it may help her more if she manages to distract her instead.]

[naicha]

_{[ When she hears Ciel's voice, she shrinks up and walks away a few steps. She's taken a defensive sort of stance, hugging herself. ]}

I can eat whatever I want.

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

.... If you are stuck again, I will help you. Properly, this time.

A

[naicha]

_{[ That voice- ]}

... You wouldn't help me. _{[ It's painful, but she's frozen herself stiff. She's hunched up there, not bothering to look at him. ]} It's better if you don't. _{Things will be better that way.}

[a certain older sister stands just a few paces away, perfectly still, watching her.]

[naicha]

Maybe the drug store has some-

<sub>[ she steps back, but as she turns around, she sees vietnam.

... after seeing her laugh at Taiwan's demise? She can't bring herself to face her. She takes a few steps back, biting her lip before dashing to wherever, as long she stays far, far away from her. ]</sub>

[The door opens. There stands Saki. Even on Christmas, she's all in black.]

[naicha]

<sub>[ She wants to run, so she tries to. She finds herself stopping before she gets out of Saki's line of sight.

Taiwan finally calls out, ]</sub> H-hey!

Can you read my aura?

[ Jessica isn't in the best of moods today, and that rock that just went through her window doesn't help. She angrily opens the window and begins to yell ] Hey! What the fu-

[tsundorapettan.livejournal.com]

... Ta- Taiwan? What are you-...

C

[peonymarket.livejournal.com]

[Rock in the window? Have a (familar) angry and bewildered voice yelling out from somewhere on the other side of the broken glass.]

Shén me niǎo?!

["What the fuck?!" But when China himself appears and sees Taiwan, his eyes become very, very cold, narrowing to slits.

How could you, Taiwan? (http://mayfield-mods.livejournal.com/48852.html?thread=1512404)]

C 1/2

[naicha]

And you're the one who's mad!

[naicha]

_{[ Then Taiwan's eyes meet China's, and all of a sudden, she freezes. She covers her mouth and, thinking she can't show him any signs of weakness, looks away. ]}

... Teacher won't have to see me anymore, here.

[bambooalliance.livejournal.com]

[He was on his way out but...

Oh. Hello, Taiwan. Why are you kicking his mailbox...?]

Ah...Khun Taiwan? [He sounds vaguely confused, but not at all upset.]

C

[naicha]

Go away! _{[ She's avoiding eye contact. She's also kicking the mailbox more. ]}

[Germany's pretty fast.

He puts a hand on her shoulder after spotting her drawing a strange cat-looking character on someone's fence.] Do you often go on graffiti runs? I saw the same thing on my street and followed them here.

[naicha]

<sub>[ Looks over her shoulder.

Her reaction is to try to brush his hand off and run. Not even going to bother explaining herself now. ]</sub>

whoa, totally missed this when it went up, I hope crazy backtagging is okay - A

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[And here comes Squid Girl derping along like she do.]

"Hey Taiwan! Did you get stuck again?"

It's fine! I am the slowest aaaaah

[naicha]

... Nothing like that.

_{[ she's usually in the mood for your derp, Squid Girl, even if she's sad, but right now, she doesn't even try looking at you ]}

Hey, Squid Girl.

I think... I think it's best if we weren't allies after all.
