Hi, everyone! It was Qixi yesterday, you know. Qixi! _{[ She pronounces it more clearly. ]} Qixi is like, hmm... like Tanabata or, or Valentine's Day! Yeah, that's more like it. It's a day when everyone gives everyone else chocolates and flowers and chocolates and, and other neat things and chocolates, and they go on dates under the full moon and it's like that Teresa Teng song and then they kiss and say I love you and-

Oh! Hehe, right. Anyway, on that day, people usually write their wishes of love down and hang them up so that they'll be granted love and happiness! Or something like that. _{[ Suddenly, she is sad. ]} I didn't want that day to pass with a lot of people being lonely...

_{[ Back to her usually cheery self! ]} So I thought that everyone should get another shot at it! Drop by 1245 Williams Road and I'll see what I can do.

<sub>[ Taiwan has something set up in front of her house. There is a table with a box in the center with piles of strips of paper and some pens in front. The box is covered in cute heart stickers and labeled WISHING BOX. There's a small slit at the top for people to submit slips of paper to. If you plan on stealing any of these things, tough luck. Taiwan will be here all day, manning the place, smiling sweetly at you all the while. Yeah...

Everyone make wishes so she can go read them in the evening and play cupid already. ]</sub>

[volcanoes]

W-well, I guess, sure, someday...

[naicha]

Ohhhh, that's what I like to hear. The Goddess can definitely help Iceland with that!

_{[ gets ready to take notes ]}

So what do you like in a girl, Iceland?

[volcanoes]

...Is this part of the wishing thing?

[naicha]

Yes... _{[ Jeez Iceland it's not like she'll try to look for someone to ship you with or anything. ]}

[volcanoes]

U-um...

Well, it's nice if they're quiet.

[naicha]

Like mute or just shy? _{[ Yes this is a thing she has to ask... ]}

[volcanoes]

No! Just... Quiet. Well, shy's okay, I guess. [He isn't sure why he started talking about this...]

[naicha]

Ohhhh! Okay then, okay. _{[ Pokes her cheek with her pen. ]} But I dunno if that'll work out, 'cause Iceland's pretty shy, too.

[volcanoes]

I'm not that shy... [Lies.] A-anyway, they don't have to be shy, they just can't talk all the time. It's annoying.

[naicha]

Wei!

[naicha]

_{[ oh she has to be professional ]} What else?

[volcanoes]

[Iceland is confused as to the small outburst. And again wonders why he's doing this.]

Uh...

B-blond hair? Not that it's a requirement...

[naicha]

_{[ She's making it one. ]}

Quiet, blond... _{[ Writing that one down carefully... ]}

[volcanoes]

They have to be mature. [Since Iceland is a mature adult okay.]









And it would be nice if they liked skydiving.

[naicha]

Hehe, skydiving is pretty cool. Don't worry, Iceland. The Goddess of Love will surely help that girl find her way to you!

_{[ Taiwan's written a wish out for him. It says, "I want a mature (hehehehe) and quiet blonde girlfriend who likes skydiving and, I guess, is pretty cool." She's drawn a caricature of Iceland at the bottom. The paper is still on the table, covered by one hand. ]}

[volcanoes]

So what happens now? [Trying to look at the paper...]

[naicha]

_{[ Slowly moves it to the edge of the table... ]} Well, I still gotta relay the message to the higher ups and stuff. But after that, all we have to do is wait for a miracle to happen!

[volcanoes]

Oh... Does that paper go in the box?

[naicha]

_{[ ... Folds it neatly. ]} Yeah.

[volcanoes]

Do I put it in or do you?

[He has no idea what is going on.]

[naicha]

No, no, no, I'll do it! _{[ drops it in ]} See?

I said I still have to do stuff before stuff can happen, but, ehehe, who knows? Maybe the Goddess of Love is doing her work right now! _{[ no taiwan you're just sitting there... ]}

[volcanoes]

Maybe? [He still hadn't made the connection between Taiwan and Goddess of Love.]

Good luck getting more wished for your box?

[naicha]

Thank you. Good luck with winning some hearts! <sub>[ There's something odd about her smile, like she knows something...

Whatever, she smiles all the time, so it shouldn't bother anyone much. ]</sub>
