<sub>[ It's such a beautiful Monday morning! The sun is shining, the grass is green - oh, why is everything back to normal, that's not right...

Well, after the initial shock, Taiwan decides not to let that bother her too much. She doesn't even realize that she was droned for a few days. She keeps switching the lights off whenever she finds them on, though. Just a heads up. ]

[ A At the cosplay cafe, she'll be working like nothing even happened. She's in a cute schoolgirl uniform since it's April - the start of the Japanese school year! The cherry blossom tree outside their house helps set the mood as well. Ah, what's this? Taiwan looks really happy today. Could it be because of the drink she's been advertising nonstop? Bubble tea is the newest item on the menu and she is very, very enthusiastic about it. Why don't you go try it out? ]</sub>

It's really yummy!

<sub>[ Maybe she stops you while you're passing by, maybe she's the waitress taking your order right now. However you meet her, how could you say no to this face? How could you? ]

[ B She's not very good at this acting thing. Maybe you'll catch her by the counter on her break. ]</sub>

Japan said my character was supposed to be the exchange student from Taiwan who is _{[ She pulls her sleeve down a bit and continues as if she is reading something. ]} popular for her zettai ryouiki and hard worker, but naive and a dojikko.

I wonder what a dojikko is...

<sub>[ C Spring means baseball! She hasn't even changed out of her uniform yet, she is that excited. Well, you can still move in a skirt, right? So you'll catch her at the high school's baseball field, pulling out the baseball equipment. Yeah, she broke whatever lock was on it. No, shut up, she doesn't care if she doesn't go here, she wants to play. ]



[ D At the hardware store, trying to buy a pistol and arguing with the store clerk drone. ... More like, grabbing him by the collar. She is mad! ]</sub>

What do you mean "because I'm a girl"? I'm like, _{[ Now she's shaking him. ]} I'm like Sailor Moon but better, you know!

_{[ ooc: Breaking hiatus early since things got fixed faster than expected. ;u; Still in the middle of backtagging everything though. ]}

[OH AND SOMEONE IS GRABBING HER BY THE BACK OF HER COLLAR]

[naicha]

Aaaah, you stupid-!

_{[ WHO IS DOING THAT WHO IS DOING THAT oh... ]}

N-ni hao.

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

[Chizuko is tiiiired! After spending last night announcing her first caper she didn't get much sleep. So when it's time for her to come in and help out in the afternoon, she actually bumps into Taiwan, unusual for someone normally very poised. She looks up, blinks...

And wraps her arms around her middle (that's about as high as she gets)]

[naicha]

Aiyo, Chizuko's being really affectionate today! _{[ Taiwan doesn't bother walking or taking her arms off. She pats Chizuko's hand. ]} Did something happen?

C; LET'S MAKE THIS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

[ Hmmm... Nena debates the question before answering. ]

Dojikko sounds like dojou so maybe you just act naive but you're secretly a badass and everything!

Yeah, that must be it!

I think you mean B BUT YES LET'S

[naicha]

Huo, Nena might be right! Japan wouldn't give me any bad character traits, would he? So... by day I'm an innocent high school girl, but at night I'm actually an undercover super secret agent!

_{[ IT'S HER DREAM ]}

[piealchemist.livejournal.com]

_{[... Sort of... watching. And wondering what Taiwan is doing. Shut up, she doesn't really know about baseball, okay...]}

[naicha]

_{[ She has a bright red helmet on! She's getting one of the baseball bats when she spots her friend. ]}

Rorona, hi! _{[ waves! ]} Wanna play?

[execcosmoflips.livejournal.com]

There's a maid café here...?

Ah. Bubble tea...? Is it really sweet?

[naicha]

It's really sweet, especially the tapioca balls inside. They're chewy. What flavor would you like? We have strawberry, banana, strawberry banana, watermelon, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, apple, pineapple, orange, grape, black tea, green tea, red tea, watercress...

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[comes up behind her and shrugs] Something pervy no doubt.

[whacks her on the head with one of the menus :| yes reversal of roles.]

Like, don't go again. Piglet.

[naicha]

_{[ ow ]} It's not like it's my fault I left! Stupid.

Did you behave and eat all your vegetables? Did you give Japan a hard time? _{[ tiiilts her head ]} Did you cry like a little girl?

A

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Bubble tea? Well, why not...? [Nah - he doesn't like tea at all but how can Zidane say no to a cute girl?]

[naicha]

_{[ Her eyes light up. ]}

What flavor do you want? We have lots! _{[ She is just going to show him the whole menu now. Oh man, that is a lot for flavors. There's taro, green tea... and just about every fruit you can think of. ]}

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

[Squid Girl's bored, so she's decided to stop by the cosplay cafe to see what all this bubble tea stuff is about. She saw Taiwan's ad and recognized the art style immediately, after all.]

Hi Taiwan! What's bubble tea?

[naicha]

_{[ Hi Squid Girl! She's really happy to see you. O-oh, you're asking about that... ]}

Bubble tea is the best drink in the world! I made it.

_{[ She says this proudly! ]}

B

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

So it's schoolgirls this month, huh?

[naicha]

Uh huh. It's spring, and that means the start of a lot of things! Like the new school year and the new season of Gintama.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[Ruri walks into the cafe and waves]

"It means a clumsy girl. But clumsy in a very cute way."

[She blinks then bows]

"I believe once I get my paperwork in order I will be training under you here as well."

[naicha]

Clumsy, but cute? _{[ Blink blink. How does she do that? ]}

Ah, that's great! So you've talked to Japan already?

C

[encored]

[hey, what a coincidence, he doesn't go here either! but he's on the baseball field as well, having been drawn over from what he was doing by all the racket kids these days and their noise who cares that she's actually older than he is]

Is this not a game intended for multiple players?

[naicha]

I'm really fast. _{[ No, she's not being serious. ]}

You know how to play? _{[ She gets a bright red helmet and puts it on. There's something in that smile that already knows the answer, he can tell. Maybe it's amusement. Yeah, it's that. :| ]}

B

[headedforhope]

[helpful vibes tingling....she's just here for the sweets but since you seem to be confused-!]

Ah, I think it means....a girl that's clumsy, but in a cute and approachable way.

[naicha]

Oh. _{[ claps her hands together ]} Okay, I think I get it now! Thank you, miss! _{I'm older than you, though.} Ah, do you need a menu? Can I take your order?

_{[ Because if someone helps you, you've gotta help them back... Well, this is part of her job, but she's on break. Not that she cares about breaks. ]}

A

[ryougi]

[Shiki is indeed passing by, but fine, she's bored and there's nothing to do here anyways.]

What's yummy?

[naicha]

Bubble tea! _{[ She nearly presses the picture of bubble tea on Shiki's face. ]}

It's a really sweet drink from my place! It's usually made of black tea mixed with honey and tapioca pearls at the bottom, but it comes in other flavors too, like strawberry. Will you try some?

A.

[tsunknuckles.livejournal.com]

[ guess who's walked in? Jessica does have full intentions of eating here... but she's kind of looking around for a job. she's bored, and wants some money to spend.

she hasn't noticed you yet; she's just scoping the place out. ]

[naicha]

_{[ Suddenly behind you. ]}

Do you need a table?

D

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

[Tugging on Taiwan's other arm to get her attention.]

Want me to help?

[naicha]

Merem. _{[ Oh, he's a kid... but he's a vampire. So yeah, man, she nods. Go for it. :|b ]} Mm. This stupidhead won't give me a gun.

[doudemoe]

[Minato is on break, sampling the new Bubble Tea. There are 3 empty cups, and he's on his 4th.]

[naicha]

Do you like it!

My, my.

[An enigmatic-looking girl has stopped by the cosplay cafe that sh was told about by Kay.]

It's strange, really, to see this place, and to think of having bubble tea in Mayfield, surrounded by drones. Where did you get the ingredients? After all, bubble tea is a rather recently invented drink, I believe. Not that the ingredients are particularly rare, but merely that they wouldn't be available in the time period of Mayfield, in a mass-produced form, at any rate. Indeed, I don't think there's any evidence that it existed before a few decades ago. Of course, the notion of a precise date of invention for something which is a combination of pre-existing factors is somewhat suspect.

Ah... at any rate, I'd like to try it. It's been some time.

[naicha]

_{[ Oh dear. She just stands there as she listens to Sasaki talk. Ah, yes, yes, that's a very good point! But she's only half-listening - she's only here to work and eat the food while people aren't looking, okay. ]}

I got the ingredients in the mail today, so I thought I'd make some for everyone... Japan said he wouldn't mind if I put it on the menu! _{[ More like, she didn't tell him about it at all. ]} He's in charge of the cafe.

What flavor would you like?

D

[bombbrat]

[He just wanted to see if he could get some more matches. He's been running low.

Why is this girl messing things up?]

Are you planning on holding up the line forever, dumb girl?

[naicha]

_{[ WHO CALLED HER DUMB ]}

I'm not stupid, stupidhead! _{[ PULLS DRONE CLOSER TO SHOW GOKUDERA ]} It's this guy! I'm not leaving until he gives me a Beretta, you know! Huoooo! _{[ SHAKES HIM FOREVER ]}

A. I hope you don't mind me tagging this ;w;

[gauntlethades.livejournal.com]

...

[This is his 'are you serious' face.]

why would I mind!! haha it's fine ;u;

[naicha]

<sub>[ Yes.

Also this is her waving the ad in his face. ]</sub>

It's got tapiocaaaa.

D

[taegeuk.livejournal.com]

Dong-saeng is a magical girl? Why didn't you tell me!

[naicha]

Because it's supposed to be a secret, and if anyone found out, I'd be in big trouble and it's not like anyone will believe me anyway! Well, it doesn't matter, because no one deserves to see me in my super cute uniform! <sub>Ah, but Japan can see it if he wants to.

[ Yeah, she hasn't noticed Korea yet... brb shaking the clerk ]</sub>

That's why you should give me a gun, you know!

A

[politerudeness.livejournal.com]

[ Guess who didn't even notice she was dedroned ahaha he's just too busy man. But he just heard her voice as she was speaking about the new addition to the menu and turned his head, and is now wondering if his eyes are deceiving him and if he's perhaps being delusional. So yes he's kind of staring and trying to figure out if you're real because it's hard to say from this distance. ]

[naicha]

_{[ We interrupt this program to bring you Taiwan. She notices him and gives him a glass of bubble tea. ]}

I got Japan his favorite. _{[ His favorite flavor is up to you. ;u; But you know, if this was a drone, she'd be calling him Kiku darling... ]}

C. FOREVER.

[ignorant.livejournal.com]

[ Spring does mean baseball. And baseball means Yamamoto. And since this is generally all he does in Mayfield, you can expect to find him approaching said baseball field with his equipment bag slung over his shoulder.

But when he spots Taiwan (oh god is she in a skirt), he jogs over and grins. ]

--Hey!

YEAHHHH

[naicha]

_{[ Yes. Taiwan has no shame. And she's really happy to see Yamamoto! Finally, someone who isn't such an ass about ball sports. She waves at him with the hand holding her baseball glove. ]}

Takeshi! Haha, I knew you'd be here.
