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. ]}

_{[ only half-listening, so it's pretty much "bluh bluh Jack Smith" to her ]} Then we'll just have to find out as much as we can, right? _{[ that smile is a little suspicious... ]}

[encored]

[this is why your plans never go smoothly Taiwan this is exactly why]

In a way that will get us killed the fewest amount of times, yes. Any part of the Smith family will be highly difficult to research.

[naicha]

What if we had someone on the inside?

_{[ rests her chin on her hands and looks up in thought... yes she is thinking!! ]}

Hohh, I didn't think there'd be a time when I'd wish I was a police officer. _{[ most of the time she wants to be an idol ]}

[encored]

[how many times will he roll his eyes in one conversation... he can't remember if Taiwan's ever mentioned the Doctor before but she must know him since he was around Vietnam so often.]

I know of someone who works on the police force if you count that as having a connection with someone on the inside. I doubt it would do much good, though.

[naicha]

_{[ She knows the Doctor!!! She just. Forgot. Because he's a doctor, right!? ]}

Why not? _{[ balances a pencil on her lip... ]}

[encored]

[Doctor the policeman is a bit confusing

reaches out to hit one end of the pencil in an attempt to send it flying....] They're just as susceptible to the whims of the town as the rest of us are. In fact, they're in even greater danger as they're placed under a spotlight by being in a position of authority.

[naicha]

_{[ looks surprised when the pencil flies off and lands on the floor! mean... ]}

Then do you have any better ideas? Charles thinks he's so smart, so maybe he should come up with something!

_{[ ducks under the table to get her pencil ]}

[encored]

[hey he is not that mean okay, if he was he'd kick her while she was under the table, which he is definitely not tempted to do....]

I've been here for twenty months, do you believe I've just been sitting idle the entire time? Everything I've thought of has been attempted by others, and they've all failed miserably.

[naicha]

_{[ puts the pencil on the table ]} Even checking the highway? What about checking the dairy again? _{[ ... why is she still under the table... ]}

[encored]

[who knows but she should probably move soon unless she fancies being used as a footrest] Those have both been checked multiple times, though I haven't been to either myself in a few months. Nothing has turned up any time I've been to the highway and the dairy has been impossible to get into since April.

[naicha]

Have you tried explosives?

<sub>[ silent for the whole time whether or not he answers

is he seriously using her as a footrest

well she'll just have to... reach over and...

he'll feel a tickling sensation on his knee hehehehehehe she thinks this is so funny she is so funny ]</sub>

[encored]

[yes he is seriously using her as a footrest, and she is a very nice one!]

Of course not, what good would that do outside of drawing attention to- [SUDDENLY YELPS and nearly falls over backward in his chair like the epitome of grace he is. it's not that he's super ticklish, but his first thought wasn't oh it's obviously Taiwan being silly since she's under the table, but did something just land on my knee.]

[naicha]

_{[ Laughs at his pain again!!! Man, she thinks that is so hilarious, when she jerks her head backward, she hits the table with a thud and her pencil rolls off the edge. Wait, she's still laughing... They're going to get kicked out of the library if she keeps it up. Not too long after that, she picks up her pencil and goes back to her seat. ]}

Ahaha, haha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

_{[ She does not look sorry at all. ]}

[encored]

[you are so lucky he has some self-restraint or he'd be flipping the entire table over at her...]

Insufferable, you are absolutely insufferable! [oh oops people are shushing him now look what you've done. begins gathering his books quietly so he can migrate to a different table.]

[naicha]

_{[ having so much fun and not being bothered by charles throwing a fit at all ]}

Hahaha, aww... Where are you going?

[encored]

Somewhere without so much noise. [HUFFS and picks the stack up, standing from the table. oh wait there's something to add before he goes...]

Tell me if you decide to do anything. You can't just barge into town by yourself with explosives and expect things to turn out all right.

[naicha]

If I did stuff like that as often as I wanted to, there wouldn't be a Taiwan in the first place, silly!

_{[ waves ]} Bye bye!
