_{[ 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. ]}

Woohoo!

_{[ 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. ]}

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

_{[ 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. ]}

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?

_{[ 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;)}

I-I don't eat that much! Uhm, uh... No problem!

[...Christmas. She tenses at the mention of it, biting her lip before realising how ah, strange she was acting. Instead she laughs, slightly nervous but trying, and shrugs it off.]

I...I was stuck in my room, so I c-couldn't.

_{[ It wasn't was wise to bring that up... She gives her a gentle smile. ]} Well, Christmas was really awful this year for everyone, so I'm sure they won't blame you.

Uh... _{[ reads from her notes again ]} Don't worry! Um, take it easy!

Y-yeah... I guess I wasn't the only one. I'll make up for it.

Uh... Is it... I are! [...It's a valiant effort.]

_{[ heeeee ]}

Any luck finding out who they liked? Um... Kei and Erika, right?

[Taiwan stop bringing up all her disappointments >:T]

N-no... Nothing worked!

_{[ lmao oblivious to everything sob ]}

Oh... Well, I'll make sure you get enough luck for next year. Chinese New Year's just around the corner, after all!

Oh huh, it is... Hopefully...

[Guess who always just expects bad luck every year... and never has anything happen to prove otherwise?]

_{[ And guess who never lets that get her down. ]}

Hehe, I can help you clean your house, if you want! _{[ Because cleaning is like sweeping all the bad luck away so that good luck can come in. ;u; ]} We'll make it spotless! Then all the bad luck will go away and you'll get a lot of good luck for sure.

A-ah, seriously? You... you'd do that? [Taiwan, you do know that this'll end up being "you clean while Taiga breaks the vacuum," right?]

_{[ She doesn't. Not a clue. She leans in this time. ]}

Friends help friends, don't they?

H-huh?! Friends? [This is a very surprising concept to Taiga. Someone considers her a friend and isn't a merciless troll, or shoved into helping her?]

Aren't we friends? I mean, I talk to you whenever I come here... _{[ Oh, maybe... maybe she doesn't want to be friends? It's okay. She's used to rejection. Her voice trails off as she considers that possibility. Maybe she should've kept her mouth shut... ]}

N-no, um--! I just, ah, I'm not... I didn't mean it like that!

It's okay! A lot of nations and people don't wanna be friends with me, so I'll understand if you feel the same way... you know?

But... you don't seem like a bad person. It's fine, I-I'll be your friend, it's just... different. [SHE ISN'T USED TO PEOPLE LIKING HER]

_{[ Maybe if they met under different circumstances, she wouldn't like her so much right off the bat. Oh, but she'd still say she was cute. Different? What does she mean by that? ]}

Different how? Is it a bad kind of different?

N-not bad! I...it's... [so flustered aaah!] I-I'm not a very... friendly p-person...

But you've been friendly to me. _{[ Being friendly means putting extra sparkles on her ice cream. ;u; ]} So I wanna be friends with you! There's nothing wrong with having more friends, right? It's always a good thing.

A-ah... I...I guess. [You just worded things in a way that made her freak. :T It doesn't take much...] U-uhm! S...so we'll be friends, yeah.

Yeah. _{[ She giggles a bit. This makes her really happy. Friends +1!! And she didn't have to bribe her or anything! ]} Yeah!

So you can count on me to take all your bad luck away. Okay?

[Bribes always help, though!]

Uhm... okay! I have... a lot of bad luck...

_{[ They do! Until China makes a better offer. ]}

We'll sweep it all away and scare all the bad demons away so you won't get any this year, then. _{[ leans in forward, then throws herself backward against the backrest and swings her feet ]} So don't worry. Besides... ah, don't you have to get their order?

_{[ points at a table full of drones ]}

[Poor Taiwan...

At the reminder that, y'know, Taiga's supposed to be WORKING, she jumps to her feet. And nearly falls in the process, but she's gotten skilled at slamming a hand on the table for balance.]

A-ah! I do, don't I...? Sorry about that! Th-th... thanks! It'll be fun!

[So awkward. She stumbles off, surprisingly making it without any further mishaps.]

Mm!

_{[ Taiwan chuckles as she watches Taiga skate away - she's impressed. Taiga's usually clumsy, but improvement means she's been working hard. Ooh, Taiwan's gotta give it her all, too! She eats another scoop of ice cream before getting back to work. ]}

"It'll be fun..." _{[ She bites on the spoon. ]}

It's gotta be, huh?
