<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>

[in that case he will be making an irritated face in her general direction.

more irritated than the one he had already been making, that is.]

It was... [hideously adorable but a very nice thought that he keeps tucked right next to the bear England got him] ...not suited for one my age.

[naicha]

But we're the same age, aren't we? <sub>[ doesn't know how old he is

also she's either 387, 100 or 66 lmao ]</sub>

[encored]

[they're relatively close then, he's somewhere around 100. but he'll never admit that, obviously he is the oldest and most mature of the two of them!!]

Even if we are, do I look like the sort of person who would have a use or need for that kind of gift?

[it is probably best if this isn't answered honestly.....]

[naicha]

_{[ n-no she is!! shut up!! ]}

Well, you look like a person who'd appreciate it!

_{[ and why would she lie about that ]}

Did your pretend parents give you anything, too?

[encored]

[OFFENDED..... especially since she's pretty much entirely correct but he'll never admit it.]

I exchanged gifts with Hong Kong, yes, but the false mother assigned to our house was droned around the same time the holiday events were happening. [already distancing himself from the situation with a lack of proper name usage, he is the best at dealing with things.]

[naicha]

_{[ She bites her lip at that, especially since she had spoken to her once. ]} You're not... sad? _{[ genuinely concerned here ]}

[encored]

There's no point in that, is there? People come and go here all the time. [except he kind of is because sawako was his favorite not!mom yet, but obviously that isn't something he's going to air to the public.]

1/2

[naicha]

They're still people you made a connection with. You can't get rid of that.

[naicha]

_{[ s...sappy mode over okay! ]} What did Hong Kong get you? I bet... _{[ ohoho ]} I bet it's not even half as awesome as mine.

[encored]

[o-oh..... he doesn't know what to say to that without sounding awkward, sad or overly-spiteful so he'll just do the next best thing. ignore it and move on!!]

He painted me a picture of Hoan Kiem Lake. ...And gave me a stuffed bat, but that is easy enough to ignore.

[naicha]

Can I have it?

[encored]

What, the bat? Why do you want it?

[naicha]

Because you said you don't want it anymore. _{[ taiwan don't twist his words ]}

[encored]

That's a terrible reason to want something. [aka no, no she cannot have his little bat.]

[naicha]

When England's boss didn't want a citizen back then, he gave them to me.

[encored]

I don't think that's something that one should feel pride over, and it's still a poor reason.

[naicha]

_{[ aww ]}

Is it... cute? _{[ is that it?? that must be it huh ]}

[encored]

[no taiwan no.] It's just a plush toy, same as any other.

[naicha]

_{[ If it's just a plush toy, why won't he give it to her? ]}

If you like it so much, just say so. _{[ jeez charles ]} Did you get anything from jiejie, too?

[encored]

[it's complicated okay!! scowling like an unpleasant thing and mumbling something along the lines of 'I do not like it' before answering her question.]

Yes, she made me pastries and a new cloak.

[naicha]

A cloak? Are you like Dracula or something? _{[ lmao ]}

[encored]

[can you tell how tempted he is to just punt her and run...] Cloaks were just as common as overcoats when I was a child.

[naicha]

_{[ this is normal ]} I guess you can call it super retro? Cosplay's really in nowadays!

_{[ presses her chin on her helmet a bit ]} Mm, Charles'll make a good Ciel. Then Hong Kong can be Sebastian.

[encored]

Wh- [c-cosplay, ciel, what are these terms. his old man brain can't keep up.

oh except he's totally heard that first name before and definitely remembers a Sebastian being in town. ....this does not help make things less confusing, though.]

Don't start that again. I don't know who this Ciel is but being mistaken for him by that mental blonde child was more than enough, thank you.

[naicha]

_{[ get with the times, charles ]}

You're right. You'd look pretty weird in a dress, wouldn't you?
