<sub>[ So basically, this is a day in the life of Taiwan. ]

[ A Morning. You're out on the streets, right? Then you see a flash of pink speed by. Your imagination? Nah, she's not that fast. It's Taiwan on her pink! motorscooter with a matching pink!! helmet. You should move out of the way if you know what's best for you. ]</sub>

Woohoo!

<sub>[ Sorry about the coffee on your shirt or whatever. ]

[ B It's lunchtime. At the diner, she's reviewing her notes for her English lessons! Squinting from time to time. Is she reading this right? Well, whatever. They are going very smoothly... Haha... She is reading so loud. ]</sub>

Hello James I am here how are you I, _{[ squint ]} I am waiting for long time...

<sub>[ Eats a french fry. She is concentrating so hard. ]

[ C Afternoon. brb ringing your doorbell. If you answer right away, she's clutching her case of products awkwardly. ]</sub>

Hi! Um, so I'm supposed to be selling you this really tacky makeup right now, but I kind of feel sorry for whoever has to buy it. The colors are too bright and I like a more natural look, you know? So I don't get to use the samples much even if I could. But if you want a makeover, I can give you one. Leave it to me! You have to pay, though, or I'll get droned. _{[ total lie ]} Ah, but what I'm really here for is... I mean. I wanna know more about Mayfield. Do you have some time?

<sub>[ You can interrupt her spiel anytime. ]

[ D Nighttime. She is in her room, in her pajamas, eating pudding with a spoon. Singing J-pop and K-pop songs out loud. Like this one. Or this one. Even if it's a summer song. Man she wouldn't know it's cute okay. Jumping on the bed, aww yeah! The spoon is her makeshift microphone. Being bored in the fifties is hard. Neighbors might hear her and may chuck things at the window... Oh yeah. She forgot to close the curtains. Maybe they can see her dancing to Gee.

Or maybe they can hear her singing in the phones, too, because she totally knocked the phone over while covering a KARA song. ]

(ooc: Also! Also also also. CR chart is up, but incomplete. I'll be getting around the rest who replied to me on the CR meme, but feel free to comment so I can have your character added. Comment with the icon you want me to use, too, if you like. ;u;)</sub>

[naicha]

I never knew she had a... _{[ brother? sister?? ]} Oh, well! I'm Taiwan. It's nice to meet you, um...?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Ushiromiya Lion. A pleasure. [Bows.] And who would I be speaking to?

[naicha]

_{[ so formal... well, she'll take her helmet off for a bit ]}

Taiwan, like I said. That's my name.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Taiwan...so are you a country, then?

[naicha]

Mm! _{[ nods ]} Have you met Japan yet?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I have. And Vietnam-san as well.

[naicha]

Eh? All old countries... _{[ the first thing she notices ]} I hope they weren't too boring.

Japan isn't that boring, though. _{[ because she has a soft spot for him lmao. She chuckles. ]}

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh no, not at all. I imagine that you're all very interesting, in your own ways.

[naicha]

We are, aren't we!

But I bet you're interesting, too. What do you do? I heard Jessie was in a band! Can you play an instrument?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Jessica in a band? Well, well.]

No, I don't play an instrument. I do play badminton, though.

[naicha]

Huo, that's like tennis but faster. Teacher's really good at that. _{[ You mean the best. ... A beat. ]} B-b-but I bet I could beat him if I wanted to! _{[ haha ]}

We should play sometime!

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be glad to take you up on that offer sometime then. It's been a little while since I've played against someone.

[naicha]

Don't go easy on me, okay?

_{[ Something else is amusing her. ]} ... Haha, you two are so different!

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

If that's what you want, I'll be sure not to.

[Smiles a little.] Ah yes, we got that quite a lot at home.

[naicha]

What's Jessica like at home? Have any embarrassing stories to share? _{[ rolls her helmet around a bit ]}

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Much the same as she is here, I suppose. [Protip: Lion is not the best source for embarrassing stories.]

[naicha]

Boring. _{[ hmm but if she... he... whatever's from Jessica's world too, then this is probably the time to ask about it. ]}

... hey, you know anything about witches?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[There's a very slight twitch in Lion's face.]

...a little. Why do you ask?

[naicha]

Jessica had a theory about this place. Something about Lucy being the Game Master...

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Do you mean Lucy Smith? Yes, that does seem likely...

[naicha]

But Jessica said the Game Master was supposed to know about everything that was going on. Right? But it looks like she didn't know what the Postman was up to this Christmas... And she doesn't get along with him, either.

Lion, what can witches do, anyway?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

That's true most of the time. But sometimes a piece can gain enough awareness to catch on to the rules of the game and attempt to thwart the Game Master.

...witches can do a lot of things, Taiwan-san.

[naicha]

But what are the rules of this game? I mean, if this was a game... It feels wrong calling it that, since people are always getting hurt.

Aah, this is so confusing. I just want a lead.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

It's only a game to the Game Master. To everyone else, not so much.

Yes, a lead would be nice at this point...

[naicha]

Well, there are a lot of smart people who know more about magic than I do, so I'm sure we'll find it soon!
