_{[ 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. ]}

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

_{[ 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! ]}

_{[ She is legitimately scared. She's never seen any of Mayfield's police force, not even Grady. Wait, was he...? Best thing she thinks she can do right now is struggle and not show any fear. ]}

You can't take me alive! I have fighter jets back home, you know. America- _{[ pause. ]} I-I'll kick your face!

[He pulls the cablewire taut, just looking even grimmer.]

Think vandalism's funny, do you? Think destroying property is a-okay? Answer: It most certainly is not.

[He marches towards her, unhooking the wire from the grapple-gun itself and holstering it back on the side of his new utility belt. Within the same utility belt, he pulls out a pair of Bat-cuffs.]

You're under arrest.

_{[ Shoot shoot shoot. If this was Grady, then she's heard a lot of bad things about that guy. She hopes she gets droned soon. How do you get droned, anyway? She has no idea... ]}

It's no use. They'll be droning me any second now! I'll be out of this place for good, then no one'll have to deal with me anymore-- _{[ She's shying away from Edward and trying to pull her leg away even though she knows it's not going to make any difference. ]}

[He just brandishes his cane at her.]

Miss, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law.

[He's heard this speech often enough when he was a criminal to know it by heart.]

Like you know anything about law and justice, Grady!

Grady...?

[He shakes his head.]

You aren't answering to Grady right now. You're answering to me.

That's only half as bad, right?

Worse.

_{[ She struggles to pull herself free again. There's no use, is there? Still, gritting her teeth, she takes a shot at tackling the man. It could work even better if she wasn't human right now, but a nation in a girl's body can only do so much. ]}

[If Edward Nigma were the Batman, a simple tackle move from a small girl probably wouldn't be enough to affect him. But Edward Nigma is the Riddler. With about as much physical strength as Play-Doh. He stumbles and falls to the ground.]

_{[ Victory! Taiwan takes a second to savor this moment. Even if it seems Mayfield's taken her strength away, it looks like she's still got it!

She uses this time to get the cablewire off her leg and escape.

Even if she hasn't got anyone to count on for help anymore, and even if no one other nation wants her around, she doesn't know what the police can do - she can't let anything happen to her when she has her people waiting for her at home.

Even if she believes they couldn't care less. ]}

I'm really sorry for the late reply! You don't have to continue if you don't want to.

No worries!
