Um, um, _{how do you say this?} ... What does it mean when you have a lot of magical potential? How do you use it?

And if someone were to hypothetically open up a secret establishment thing - hypothetically, okay! - where's a good place to set it up? _{[ yes as if it's not... obvious... ]}

Also, if you're a quiet and mature blonde who likes skydiving, you should talk to me right away! Or if your name's um... _{[ oh but if she reads the name out loud, it will be too! obvious!!! ]} ehehe, I think I'll look for this guy myself. That's all!

✿ action 1
_{[ Someone's practicing her swings at the ball park again. Without Yamamoto around, it's been pretty lonely. But that! Is okay! Because pitching machines exist. Taiwan's a little out of it, though. Which is strange. Have a baseball flying at you right... now. ]}

✿ action 2
_{[ At the library, she's putting those books on making clothes to good use. On her sketchbook, she is drawing costumes and coloring them in while quietly humming pop songs, and maybe anime themes, yes... You might recognize some of them. ]}

✿ action 3
_{[ Returning to her house at 1245 Williams Road from... shenanigans, Taiwan gets to work in the kitchen to test the waters, so to speak. If she wants to open up a restaurant, the food has to be quality. What's that smell? Someone got a little too excited with making tonight's dinner. Seriously, this meal is fit for five kings! ... Four kings now, she supposes, without Chizuko around. Taiwan sets the last of her dishes down and gives herself an applause. ]}

Yay, I did it! _{[ at like 5 pm ]}

Oh no, I guess it's too early... Well, at least I'm done! Hehehe. _{[ Not that early. Feel free to follow the smell of chicken, pork and egg drop soup wafting out of the window. ]}

[naicha]

Oh! Sorry- _{[ She catches the ball, but not without difficulty. Normally, she could catch a simple throw like that. ]} Thank you... _{[ laughs sheepishly ]}

Is Scout here to bat, too?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 's been awhile since I came out here. Ya want a human pitcher, 'r ya okay with yer robot? [He cocks a thumb at the pitching machine.]

[naicha]

Mr. Robot... is a little mean. <sub>[ Gets hit with a baseball.

It doesn't faze her... ]</sub>

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, he don't know when yer standin' in front 'a him. Move outta the way before ya get beaned again. [He'll go scoop up some of the scatter baseballs to pitch to Taiwan. He doesn't really seem with it today though.]

[naicha]

_{[ That makes two of them. She bats it decently, though. ]}

... That was a lame pitch! _{[ No malice in her tone! She sounds more surprised than anything. ]} Is something wrong?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Ah, ya want some fastballs I take it, huh? [He'll speed it up now. Can you keep up, Taiwan?]

Eh, I'm gettin' kinda sick 'a this town, ya know? Ain't too many people left who been here long as me. An' one of 'em who was just got droned. [Not to mention, last time he talked to her, they pretty much made date plans. He's a little heartbroken.]

[naicha]

Yeah! <sub>[ You bet she can!!!

The ball hits a small bird in the sky. We. We don't talk about that. ]</sub>

I think that's what just about everyone else feels. Eh? How long have you been here, Scout?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[OUCH. You're right we don't. NEW BALL TIME.]

Over a year 'n' a half now.

[naicha]

Oh, well, that's not so bad. I mean, a year is only two percent of your entire life! And you've still got a lot of friends here, right? _{[ She gets ready for the next pitch. ]}

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

But in Mayfield time, it might as well've been, like, 10 years. 'R so it feels.

[Another fastball! He won't take it easy on her just cuz she's a girl.]

Yeah, I do. Even finally got a team mate in town I like fer a change. But this person was different, I guess.

[naicha]

_{[ Whoops missed it. Taiwan put a lot of effort into that swing, too! She quickly turns around and scowls at him for a moment before putting on a more playful smile. ]}

Oooooh. Different how?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Ok, maybe he'll slow it down just a tad.

He playfully smirks back.]

"Different" by bein' one 'a the hottest chicks around.

[naicha]

_{[ Okay, Taiwan is getting a little better at this. She... she was just warming up, that's all!! ]}

Your girlfriend? _{[ bats the ball ]}

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Scout giver her hit a respectful nod.]

Heh. I wish. Was totally gonna ask her out too. Guess that's what I get fer waitin'.

[naicha]

Ooh, I've been saying this a lot, hehe, but... It's okay, Scout! Teacher says there'll always be flowers wherever you go!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

'Zat like "other fish in tha sea"? [He shrugs.] Yeah, there's a ton 'a awesome chicks in this town. But she was the coolest. And the hottest. Both at the same time!

[naicha]

_{[ Stops and thinks. ]} ... Wouldn't that make her warm?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Nah, she... well whatever. Looks like Mayfield sent her home fer good, so... eh, she's better off, right? She's been stuck here long enough.

[naicha]

Scout should go after her! _{[ BECAUSE IT SOUNDS ROMANTIC... ]}

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Bust outta this place 'n' find her? Sounds like a pretty good idea ta me.
