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!

_{[ 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... ]}

Eating coins is bad!

_{[ 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, ]}

I'm on to you!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There are lots! Um. Well. I know... six. _{[ She knew seven, but she doesn't know that! ]} But two of them are gone... And one of them, I'm not really sure of!

Well. It probably won't hurt to be careful, but they're probably not all bloodthirsty monsters or anything.

Oh - red eyes, too.

Hehe, I know. Red eyes, huh... They can't change color?

Maybe they could. I didn't really pay much attention. I don't know that much about vampires, honestly...

Actually, I wanted to ask, too - what's a Chinese restaurant?

Oh! A Chinese restaurant is a restaurant that specializes in Chinese cuisine. _{[ Oh wait. ]} Chinese cuisine is from teacher, I mean, China! Hehe, you'd expect him to be the best at his tradition, but that's not always true, you know~

All of your food comes from Mr. China, then? He must have been awfully important...

I don't know, though. From what I remember, I thought what you cooked for me before was really good... You could always start Taiwan cuisine, right?

Not everything. But yeah, he was important. He likes to think of himself that way... Ah! Really? If I advertise it like that, will lots of people come to eat it?

--I mean, lots of people will definitely want to try my food, too, right? Of course!

I think so. I mean, my mom's stuff was pretty good, but yours was... well, I won't say better, but different in a really good way.

Oh, yeah, nothing beats mom's cooking, that's for sure! _{Wah, I should be lucky to have my cooking get compared to that!} I hope everyone does like it. Lucas does, Nadeko does, Homura does, Chizuko does, I think, oh! And Japan does...

I'm sure it'll be successful if you can start something up...! I'm not sure if Mayfield will let you, though.

Oh yeah. Mayfield doesn't like teacher very much! They can tell the difference between me and teacher, though, right? Ooh...

I guess I have to make it... secret.

A secret Chinese restaurant...? Gosh. Will you have secret handshakes and secret knocks and secret codes and everything like on the television?

_{[ She's thinking about this. For one thing, it could be Very Cool. For another, it could also prove to be Very Useful. ]}

Yeah, of course! We can't just let anyone in and have a bite. Everything would be out of stock in a minute!

_{[ Now she's getting ahead of herself. ]}

Ooh, I have to think of a good one, though.

[Lucas is too busy thinking up secret handshakes to realize what a brilliant idea this is.]

Maybe just a password would be easiest. Something like, 'Taiwan's the best, forget the rest.'

I like it!

_{[ Because one, it's catchy, two, it makes her feel good and three, she'd probably take her time to come up with a password harder than that. So this one was good. ]}

We gotta spread the word as soon as I set it up. No one can know the password unless they're our friends and allies.

Oh, right. I'll let my friends know when you're done.

Is it alright that I know the password already?

Well, you're my friend, aren't you?

Aha, just making sure that it wouldn't mess up your plans or anything...

How do you think you're going to get the food to cook, Miss Taiwan?

I might have to trade stuff at the post office. The selection Mayfield has isn't very good.

I'll need a few people to help me out with taking orders and cooking...

The post office? Be careful. I wouldn't trust him not to swap for a body part or something instead...

I'd help with cooking, but I'm... not very good. I can help bring plates out, though!

It's okay, I have a looooooot of luck! _{[ NO TAIWAN MACAU'S JUST NICE TO YOU WHEN YOU PLAY CARDS (fuu) ]}

That's alright! I need all the help I can get so we can make it a success.

I'll do what I can when I'm out of school, then! You'll have the best restaurant in town really soon, I'm sure. A lot better than the ones already here.
