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>

_{[ Taiwan is not sure if she can find an ewe at all, but no matter. Love will find a way, and she's determined to make this happen. She does a fist pump. ]} Nothing is impossible for the Goddess of Love, you know!

Oh - me? Um, no, I haven't... I haven't really thought about it. _{[ She can't grant her own wishes! ]}

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

[It's okay, Censor is accustomed to being a bachelor, it may be for the best...] Yeah! Wait, which one, Venus?

Oh? But surely a cute girl like you has a love wish! [This is her teasing playful tone, she uses it to tease Nauru all the fricking time]

[naicha]

Um, no... Well, it doesn't matter if as long as it comes true, right?

_{[ A little flattered. ]} Hehe, yeah... _{[ Wait a minute. ]} actually, no, I mean, I... am not so sure! I mean, I've got a lot of people I like, you know, but not so much that I'd make a wish that'll definitely come true. I don't know who I really like! And besides, it's embarrassing.

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

...I guess not... Anyway, there are loads of different stories out there, loads of goddesses of love.

Oh? [Sitting down on Censor's back, studying her] If you have lots of people you like, that usually means your lying to yourself to distract yourself from the person you really do like! You know? [Wow and yet somehow she is still apparently oblivious to Australia's feelings...]

So who is he? Or is it a she? Is that why it's embarrassing?

[naicha]

_{[ immediately ]} He's not a girl! I don't even know if I like him that way or not. I just get this weird feeling all of a sudden, even when he calls me names. In fact, I get like that whenever I'm with him! And it doesn't go away until the end of the day! I wasn't like that before. It's much more difficult talking to him now, too, 'cause like, my heart beats really fast and my face gets really hot and sometimes I feel like jumping for no reason at all.

_{[ Beat. ]}

New Zealand, am I in hate with him?

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

In hate? Nah, luv, sounds more like love. Heart beating fast when he says your name, when you see him and talk to him... all the books and films say it feels like that, y'know?

Is this one of your singer blokes? Jay Chow or whatever?

1/2

[naicha]

Love? _{[ Taiwan places her hands on her cheeks. Gasp. She sounds incredulous. ]}

[naicha]

No, Jay doesn't call me names. He's nice.

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Yep! [Meanwhile she just sounds cheerful]

Oh? So it's not him then. Is it Nauru? That'd make Oz happy as hell. And Nauru can be a pretty sweet kid even if Oz terrified him into screaming around girls after that sex talk...

[naicha]

Ehh, is that why he's like that...

Mm, it's not him, though. It's someone I've known for a very long time! But that's what makes it weirder.

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Yep! Australia's not allowed to give sex talks anymore so, shouldn't happen again.

Someone you've know forever, eh? [Frowns, thinking] Japan? Netherlands? You seem like his type at least so that wouldn't be too hard...

[naicha]

Ehehe, I sure wouldn't want to hear those from him!

Eh!? No! Netherlands is scary, you know! Anyway, it's not him or Japan... _{[ shocker ]} Hey, I didn't say he was a nation!

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Yeah he gets way too indepth, scares the crap outta ya.

Is he? Huh... [Lmao, nobody scares New Zealand she is too fucking chill for that] You said you've known him for a very long time! Kinda leaves only us hun.

So... not Neddie, not Japan... it's not Hong Kong is it?

1/2

[naicha]

_{[ Just before she finishes that sentence, she stands up and flails her arms around. ]} Aaaah, don't say it! Don't say it!

[naicha]

_{[ in a softer voice, as if she was saying something scandalous ]} It's bad enough that we did stuff... _{[ no taiwan stop making it sound worse ]}

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Stuff? [This is New Zealand's crazy eyebrows disappearing under her fringe, quite a feat. Completely ignoring that freak out, this is more interesting] What kind of stuff?

[naicha]

Uh... Stuff stuff! _{[ gulps. She tugs her bangs and looks away. ]} Wh, why does New Zealand want to know? It's nothing. Really!

_{[ They only kissed like. Once. It is such a Big Deal to her. ]}

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

[Laughs at how embarrassed she's getting. It's cute okay] No reason, just curious. Need to make sure Hong Kong treated you like you deserve to be treated. Did he? If not I can go smash him for ya?

[naicha]

He doesn't need that! I can do it myself...

Anyway, I'm sure he doesn't _{[ starts twiddling her fingers... oh shit NZ get ready. ]} think of me in that way, hehe. He thinks it's weird. Well, it's not that weird, I guess. But even I'm not sure if that's how I really feel about him... I mean, he started hanging out with this Nena girl all of a sudden, you know! And then we stopped talking so much and I guess I got a little jealous. I'm not lonely or anything! It's just that, friends are supposed to make time for their friends, too, you know. But we fixed that, ahaha. B-but it's still weird, 'cause he's got a girlfriend and everything and I don't. I mean, have a boyfriend! Not a girlfriend. Most of the time I think the way I feel about him isn't so different from before, but lately, I can tell it's changed a little. Ooh, I don't know, I really don't know...

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, but if you want me to, I'll do it.

[And then holy shit here comes the words. Just kinda sits there, stunned, how do you talk so fast Taiwan] So... let me get this... straight? Hong Kong has a girlfriend, Nena, and you got jealous but then you two got over this and your friends again, but it's still weird, and he's changed and you're still not sure how you feel?

...Does Nena know you two did stuff?

[naicha]

Oh, no! I can't tell her that! She'd kill me, then she'd kill everyone!

Everything's so weird right now... Actually, we _{kissed more than once} b-but it didn't mean anything, you know. It really didn't! We just, I wanted to make sure that I didn't feel that way but then we did kiss and that only made it worse and I'm even more unsure than before and if he finds out he definitely won't want to be friends with me anymore but my boss and his boss said we should be friends and I still want to be friends with him but I don't know if I can be happy with just that, I guess I can, I definitely can, it's not so bad, but I don't know what I want at all and that's what's making this really hard.

_{[i am so sorry she just has a lot of feelings]}

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Violent? Huh never thought that was Hong's type.

[Thoughtful looking, thinking over all the romantic comedies she's watched because yes this is the best way to get advice here] So you like him and you kissed, but you don't know if he likes you and your scared that he'll get freaked out if you tell him how you feel which makes sense Hong's a bit weird like that but you don't want to get your boss angry? Even though he's not here?

...Why don't you try and make him jealous. That always seems to work. [So many feelings, you are lucky she usually has to decode tsunderes at least you're telling her straight this is both easier and harder]

[naicha]

Mm. I at least want to keep true to that!

... Jealous? _{[ huh ]} I've never thought about that... But I don't know how to go about it! Nothing ever fazes him, you know.

[notmiddleearth.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, that's good then.

Yeah. [Shrugs] Then what if you found someone to date, show him that you're not always gunna be around, single and stuff. That might make him get his head out of his ass.

[naicha]

_{[ She chuckles at the mental image. ]} Oh, that'll be hard, though. I mean, finding someone, even if it's for pretend. I hope I do! Um... Hey, do you have anyone in mind?
