phone!

Um, ehehe! Wei, it's Taiwan... If anyone heard anything about me _{um, kissing other people and stuff} a week ago, let's just forget about it, okay? I'll forget about whatever you said, too! You probably forgot about it, though, but just in case you remember... Ah, but if it's a good thing, then you can be sure that I'm definitely remembering it! _{[ You can't see it, but she nods. ]} Mm. Yeah!

_{[ oh gaaaasp ]} I forgot! Um, I was wondering... how can you tell if someone's a vampire? I have to know. It's important!

_{[ wait she's not finished ]} Ohhh, wait! I was thinking about this the other day, you know! Mayfield... doesn't have a Chinese restaurant. _{[ says it like it's the most depressing thing ever ]} So I thought, hey! Maybe I should open one up! But I don't have a place where I can set it up. I could use the basement, but Japan keeps all his weird stuff there. _{[ haha weird ]} Ah, but I'd have to worry about where to get the ingredients, too. _Aiya...

action!

<sub>[ She got her clothes back in the mail today! You don't know how happy this makes her.

A Taiwan usually goes out looking like this. But why is she making the extra effort to look good? Why is she in such a good mood? Why is she on her way to Bunker Street? And why does she look so serious when she finally gets there?

She's on a mission... shhhshshhshh only background music now. ]

[ B But sometimes, she also goes out wearing shirts like this. Not necessarily with long sleeves, mind you. I mean, in this weather? That's stupid.

... Why is she kicking the gumball machine outside the grocery... ]</sub>

Eating coins is bad!

<sub>[ Oh. ]

[ C In the afternoon, Taiwan passes by the building of the Zemekis Corps. Offices. She stands there for a while, hands on her hips. Then, she points at the building and shouts, ]</sub>

I'm on to you!

_{[ he tastes like every bertie bott's every flavored beans every single one ]}

It's hard to change his opinion about things! Hmm, maybe if England was cuter...

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I could be cuter. I'll be so damned cute that he'll cry and weep and writhe at my feet and ask to my friend and I'll say yes and we can frolic through a field of coffins together and who'd look like the idiot then.

[naicha]

That's a funny thing to think about. Hey, but we still don't know if he is one yet, you know! That's why Spain and I wanna find out if he is. We were gonna ask Romania 'cause he's weirder than you, but he's not here.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[weirder than him cherishing those words forever] Why don't you just ask him if he's a vampire?

1/2

[naicha]

If we do, he'd definitely say no! That's why we gotta find out the hard way.

[naicha]

... The fun way!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You haven't even asked!

What are you even going to do, anyway? Wave garlic around, shove mirrors in his face, recite the Bible until he cries?

[naicha]

... No... _{[ but she's bored... ]} Oh, but we're gonna ask for someone's help with that! She knows a lot about vampires. She lives with one!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I'm probably far more handsome than her. [not jealous at all]

[naicha]

_{[ i g n o r e s ]} And she can do this thing with her guns, bang, bang! It's really cool.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I can bang my guns too.

[naicha]

She bangs them better, though.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

How do you know that?

[naicha]

I saw her myself!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

She might be good, but "better than me" is a stupid exaggeration.

[naicha]

Is not. _{[ yes she's starting this... ]}

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I've been banging my guns for hundreds of years! I've banged more guns than I can count! How can she still be better than me?

[naicha]

_{[ thinks... ]} Maybe she's as old as you. Maybe she's banged as much guns as you have, you know!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

So she bangs guns and she's friends with a vampire.

But I... I probably have thicker eyebrows than she does.

[naicha]

That's not a very redeeming quality.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It's still redeeming. But I do, don't I? Have thicker eyebrows.

That means I win.

[naicha]

Wah! When did it turn into a contest?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It always has been a contest.

I suppose it can't be helped. Against me, everybody inevitably eventually loses.

[naicha]

You know that's not true. If England joined a cooking contest, he'd definitely lose.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You don't know that for sure. I've improved dramatically in technique.

My house hasn't caught on fire for months.
