<sub>[ Alright, it's been bugging her, but she can't leave those people at the gas station alone. She needs to get out there, on the highway. There's one problem, though. One of these days, she will learn not to give other people her guns. Yes, Korea, she might have to ask you to buy her a new one. Oh wait, nevermind. One just appeared out of nowhere. Little does she know that her fake daughter has anything to do with it. This is good. She can go back to that place without worrying about her own safety. ... or she thinks.

Today, she's a door-to-door saleswoman, but how she carries herself is a little different.

A If she knows you and you can fight... or if you're Korea and Vietnam, she'll be knocking on your door. ]</sub>

We've gotta get on that highway.

_{[ B But if you're family, a friend, or an acquaintance whom she thinks doesn't have any means of defending themselves - yes, even if they've only met once, and yes, including Lucas and Tsubasa: ]}

... There's something really, really, really dangerous out there. Stay here, okay? If you don't, I'll get mad.

<sub>[ For both options, she'll eventually show you this. If she can trust you.

C Whatever, man, she's not listening to Grady, that big fatty fat fat stupidhead. You'll find her in town, driving her super manly Hello Kitty scooter. But what's this? Oddly enough, she's not bumping into anything! She's driving pretty fast, though, as usual. She's headed for the exit, alone... No time for making her usual trips to the bakery or the other shops. Maybe you want to wave and say hi? Maybe you want to know what's up - surely you've seen her be a reckless driver before. Or maybe you want to stop her. ]



[ ooc: might be slow with tags this week. please don't kill her. orz i'll be tagging the event post soon, so no threads taking place on the highway here. ]</sub>

Taiwan? Is everything alright?

I've already got plans.

[naicha]

There's something on the highway that's watching the people there, but I dunno what...

Just promise me you won't go there, okay? If you stop baking delicious pies, I'll die!

[naicha]

What kind of plans? _{[ She sounds annoyed as she blows her bangs off of her face. ]}

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I can't promise that. They don't want us to go there. That means I must.

[naicha]

... _{[ She just stands there for a moment. That's why she likes you, Chizuko. Taiwan can see a little of herself in you, just a bit. ]}

Well, I can't stop you if you put it that way! But can you promise me you'll be careful?

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[Now she knows how he feels about her plans to break into the Smith's house, maybe that thought is at the back of his mind somewhere.]

Like, me and Charles going back to have another look.

Taiwan-san... [Lion looks a little agitated.]

I don't know if I can promise that.

[naicha]

_{[ well they haven't pushed through... yet. And Hong Kong, you don't even have your own army! so she holds onto the door frame and BLOCKS THE DOORWAY NO NO NO ]}

Y-you can't! You can't, you can't, you can't!

[naicha]

Why not? You just have to stay here, and you won't get hurt! That's easy enough, isn't it? _{[ She is also a huge hypocrite. ]}

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I know that, but...it doesn't feel right for me to stay behind while everyone else is going. I want to get to the bottom of this.

[naicha]

Me too. _{[ A beat. ]} Lion, have you been to the diner? The one at the highway.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't try and shove passed her or anything, just looks mildly annoyed.] I can.

That's what you're planning on doing, right? That just makes you a hypocrite.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. Have you?

[naicha]

<sub>[ how did you know

haha. She just stands her ground. ]</sub>

NoI'mnot. _{[ Lies... ]} W-what if, what if you die again...

[naicha]

_{[ She looks around, making sure no one else is there before showing him the note. ]} The waitress there gave this to a girl I was with.

[HEADS UP PROJECTILE CUPCAKE HEADING IN YOUR DIRECTION this is obviously the best way to get the attention of someone who is trying to concentrate on driving]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Takes it and studies it carefully.]

...she gave this to you?

[piealchemist.livejournal.com]

The highway? Oh, the road that showed up?

I won't! But um... you're not going, either, are you, Taiwan?

[naicha]

<sub>[ GODDAMMIT CHARLES

FUCKING SWERVES and after she regains her balance, she stops to wipe the icing off her face. He got some on her hair, too... She spent two hours fixing herself up today, at least!

She looks for whoever threw that cupcake and, ah, there we go. ]</sub>

You! _{[ Points at! No, no punching, Charles is strong... ]}

[naicha]

She put- _{[ in a whisper ]} She put it in a pie, you know, and if she has to be that quiet about it, something's definitely up.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

You yelled at me for like, always sitting around and doing nothing and now you're trying to make me stay home. Make up your mind, y'know.

...If I die again then I'll just wake up tomorrow as usual... [he swallows in an mildly uncertain way] Way I see it, everybody's going to die here more than once. I'm totally lucky that I've been here a year and it's only happened once.

[naicha]

Haha, me? Oh, um...

_{[ her voice is quiet ]} I've gotta. There are people there. And they're not drones. They asked for help, so... I've gotta help them somehow.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes...yes, I definitely see that.

So you're planning to go out there again?

[naicha]

I'm just. Worried. You know. Because Hong Kong is... _{[ Not like her. ]}
