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. ]}

Ah... o-of course. You're welcome, Taiwan-san.

_{[... Oh, that's right, Chizuko isn't with them anymore. Homura's quiet for a bit as she thinks of how to respond.]}

... W-Well... I'm sure everyone w-will really like it...

[naicha]

You think so? Hehe. I wish I could've done this sooner... _{[ looks over her shoulder ]} Maybe if I could turn back time somehow, we could still have one big dinner together!

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

Turn back time...

_{[It's pointless to even try in Mayfield, and Homura knows her magic more than likely wouldn't work in that way here, but she can't help but remember she got back her Soul Gem ring.]}

Um... t-that's a nice thought...

[naicha]

Doesn't it? All our problems would be solved if we could do that. Hehe, but I dunno... it seems too easy to be true. I bet the Doctor has a hard time changing the past too, if that's something he could do.

She'll just choose her words carefully]</sub>

It's pretty hard, I-I think... it's definitely not that easy, trying to change the past. It probably takes a lot of tries and resets to set things right...

[naicha]

Resets? That's a weird word to use! But yeah... The same goes for a lot of other stuff, too, right? _{[ Her gaze seems more distant. ]} Teacher says you can't change things that are set in stone and we should let what's supposed to happen... well, happen. I guess he is right in a way, since we can't do anything about what's already been done. But I don't wanna just sit around and wait for something I don't want to come true.

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

Is it? Um... I-I guess it is; it's just... the first word I thought of. _[...] But... t-that's not entirely true- I don't think that anyone should let things just... happen if they can do something to change it. There's always a chance if you keep believing...

_{[ Taiwan clutches the front of her shirt. There is some comfort in how Homura's words are not too different from her own. ]}

Yes.

Yes... If there's a set future for the both of us that doesn't end in happiness... or, or anything, I don't want to believe in it. We've got to fight- _{[ The closed hand on her chest tightens its grip. ]}

[naicha]

_{[ A pause. Then, she looks back up, more cheerful. ]}

That goes for Mayfield, too. If they say we're supposed to live here forever, then we can't let that happen, either!

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

... R-Right. _{[It's nice to know someone shares a similar mindset to her in this regard.]} We'll find a way out somehow, and we'll get to go back home... all of us. I believe it.

[naicha]

Me too!

Um...! _{[ Taiwan rests her chin on her fists. ]} I'm still stuck on how we can get out of this timeline, though...
