<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>

_{[ 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?

[encored]

[you've totally lost him by this point] Excuse me? I certainly hope that would be the case, seeing as I'm not meant to wear that sort of thing.

[naicha]

Hm, cloaks are more convenient to have in this weather, so that's a point for you. It doesn't mean you're any more fashionable, though. _{[ she adjusts her loose scarf a little ]} All you need is a scarf! _{[ throws it around her neck ]} If you have a thick one, it'll keep you nice and wa- _{[ whup it hits her face ]}

[encored]

[...maybe he should just make sure all of the people he associates with are a bit brain addled from now on, talking to Taiwan makes him feel more poised than usual.]

For some reason, I feel that it's entirely possible for me to manage to survive without one.

[naicha]

_{[ dhfks ]} Fine! If you die, it's not gonna be my fault!

... Can vampires die from hypothermia?

[encored]

A bullet to the head isn't enough to kill us. Why would you think cold temperatures might be?

[even if he's totally used the 'I'M GOING TO DIE IN THE SNOW AND IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT' on a couple of people before. he shifts a little, pulling the fabric away from an arm to test the air.] It isn't that bad.

[naicha]

It so is. I can see my own breath! _{[ breathes on her hand. okay you can't see the fog form that... much... I live in a tropical country I wouldn't know okay!! Then again, Taiwan wouldn't know, either. And no way is she taking off her three layers of clothing. ]}

[encored]

You would never survive through a winter that had continual below freezing temperatures, you know. [even though he can understand where she's coming from since he grew up in warm weather and only had to deal with snow because of his stay in France.]

[naicha]

'course not! That's overkill!

_{[ charles you think you're so tough huh ]}

... B-but I bet I could. If I wanted to. _{[ she can't ]}

[encored]

[he is undeniably the toughest okay, especially when it comes to dealing with cold weather.

also, pointing at that scarf]

If you could do that, surely it would be possible for you to go without a scarf.

[naicha]

_{[ no, she is the toughest and she should prove it to him, clearly. so she takes off her scarf. ]}

... Ha! See.

_{[ still wearing layers and layers of sweaters. ]}

[encored]

Ah, impressive. How long can you keep it off? [obviously not expecting her to last more than thirty seconds or so, even with her being a bundle of sweaters at the moment.]

[naicha]

_{[ h-hugging herself ]} Way longer than you can! _{[ obviously shivering ]}

[encored]

I've already beaten you there considering I wasn't wearing a scarf to begin with. [just watching her suffer in the cold and finding it very amusing. such a nice person]

[naicha]

No! The battle's just begun! <sub>[ just standing there, teeth chattering, haha charles you ass

but as she takes a step forward toward him, she suddenly falls to her knees

she may be overreacting... she takes all her acting lessons from watching too many k-dramas ]</sub>

[encored]

[s...stares at... should he help her back up? he seems to be debating it seriously for a few seconds.]

...I was wrong, you would last an even shorter amount of time than that which I had initially set for you. Not even a day, I'd wager. Maybe not even an hour.

[naicha]

Shut up! _{[ trying to stand up without having to use her hands. her clothes are heavy and she looks like a penguin still... ]} ... It's really cold in the mountains at my place, too, you know. I'm used to it! _{[ hugging herself and rubbing her arms so much. and she's still on the ground. ]}
