_{[ When the cherry blossoms disappear, Taiwan holds her breath. Japan always adored things that come and go so easily. Now he was one, too. She should've known better than to expect this the least. Watching his figure put on his coat and walk out the door, Taiwan knows it's not him. And stay out! Taiwan thinks as she slams the door shut. She feels like flicking his drone on the forehead for his remarks. "Be a good wife and make him dinner?" Ooh, the nerve! ... This makes her miss the real Japan already. Hm? What? She's not going to cry, that's silly. Even so, no matter how many times she's learned how to stand on her own, she can't help but feel abandoned. It's okay, though. Not that it hasn't happened before.

At the cafe, it's business as usual. Employees will find that there are no costumes for them to wear, though, if they don't already bring their own. Behind the counter isn't Japan typing away on his computer, but Taiwan, accounting everything by hand. She lifts her head up whenever a customer passes by. ]}

Welcome!

_{[ With no makeup masking her troubled state, Taiwan quickly ducks back into her work again. She isn't even eating anything. She does try her best to put a smile on her face, though. Look! It's as if nothing happened at all. ]}

✿ action 2
_{[ Two siblings are walking around town together, but there's something odd about their dynamic today. ]}

And he was like, "Ah, is that so." And then I was like, "Yes! Yes, it is so!" Ooh, but I tried and tried and he still wouldn't let me and I was so mad that I could... _{[ p-punches her palm ]} hit him...! But I didn't 'cause I'd feel a little bad, you know. Oh! I was gonna say sorry for calling him a stupidhead today, but when I woke up and checked on him, all his stuff was gone! Just like that. It's not fair, you know, I mean- _{[ She waits for a witty, candid response, but nothing. Her voice is full of anger. ]} Hey! _{[ Then worry. ]} Hey, say something...

_{[ It goes on like this until Hong Kong's drone arrives at work. Very upset with this turn of events, Taiwan starts her walk home looking a little glum. She's not exactly looking where she's going, so she might bump into you, a drone or a pole. A detour she makes to the elementary school's playground is where others may find her hanging upside down on the monkey bars. ]}

✿ phone/action for 1245 williams road

Hello... Um, _{[ There's the sound of Taiwan wiping her face with her sleeve. ]} um! _{[ She takes in a deep breath. ]} Japan's... gone and stuff. If anyone wants to hit him, you don't have to, 'cause I already did. If anyone's worried about the cafe, I'm taking over, you know! I mean, until he comes back...

Ahaha, I feel a little dizzy! I think I'll go lie down now.

_{[ But she can't stay still! After the call, she'll be around the house, arranging all the clothes they have by color and sorting the records and books alphabetically. ]}

But would you really want to? [her master plan is doomed to failure!! scuffles behind her grumpily

and keeps getting distracted by all of the Halloween food-type things that are out.]

_{[ karate chop on the head!! ]}

No!

We're only here to buy ingredients! _{[ says this while stuffing her basket with candies ]}

[winces!! and then stares pointedly at her basket]

Heed your own advice.

Jiejie doesn't always have to listen to what the little ones say! _{[ walks ahead and takes a jar ]} We'll need applesauce.

That doesn't even make sense. [still taking a bag or two of candy...] Why do we need applesauce?

Because I want to try applesauce! What's so wrong about that? _{[ Whatever happened to making apple tarts... She's buying a pack of marshmallows now. ]}

You've never tried it before? It's nothing special. [putting a bag of candy corn into the basket]

Can you eat it alone? _{[ putting a bag of candy corn out of the basket ]}

[putting a bag of candy corn under his arm] What? What kind of question is that, of course you can.

_{[ forgets about the candy corn ]} Do you like eating it from the jar?

_{[ idly gets a bag of halloween-themed cookies ]}

Edited 2011-10-25 14:16 (UTC)

No. [yes] Bowls were made for that reason, you know. Portions are something that should be minded. [oh those cookies look good he wants a bag too...]

I'm gonna eat applesauce in front of you with a spoon. I'm gonna finish the whoooole jar! _{[ takes the bag he's eyeing n_n ]}

[why would you do that!! fine he'll just have to take the last bag of those lollipops] That would be absolutely disgusting and you would get sick of it before you were even halfway done with the jar, I guarantee it.

_{[ Going back to the aisle with the applesauce!!! ]}

Wanna bet? _{[ She's so fond of that, isn't she... ]}

I don't, because you'd force yourself to finish the entire thing to prove me wrong even though you'll be horrendously sick for it. [just

watches her go

and gathers up a few more bags of candy while he's at it.]

That's not true! I won't get sick that easily. _{[ Sadly stocks up on applesauce as she talks to him from a couple of aisles away... ]}

I bet you can't finish... whatever you're buying!

[eyeroll!! even though she can't see it] Of course I can. [but he doesn't mention what it is because he at least tries to pretend he isn't a fatty dingdong...]

Don't lose sight of what we've come here for because of your sudden desire to gorge yourself on apple sauce. [and then, because he doesn't want to look like a hypocrite, he zooms off to find ingredients for tart crusts]

I don't think I want to make apple tarts anymore. I want to eat apple sauce. _{[ wow yeah... carrying a basket full of apple sauce to where charles is. IF SHE CAN FIND HIM why is he so tiny ]}

[HEIGHT COMPLEXES AHOY he's already shuffled off to the produce section...] So we've come here to buy you a jar of apple sauce, then? [and all the candy. wow are they ever productive]

Apple sauce might be healthy for you, too! _{[ Might might she's checking all the aisles for him, but can't seem to find him. She is near the produce section, though. ]}

[apple sauce doesn't make people grow otherwise he'd probably be downing it by the jar too.

after gathering up a few bags of apples he begins to walk toward her voice.] Anything that's been processed isn't terribly good for you, you know.

_{[ looks for him in a bag of cookies wait no, that's not looking anymore, she's eating them... ]}

They won't make me fat. _{[ munch munch cookies munch ]}

[why are all of his friends so fat.] No, but you've an immune system to worry about, yes? [unlike some people who never get sick ahaha!!

also he is suddenly standing beside her....]

I'm made of steel! _{[ no well that's sealand

dammit charles ]}

-Stop doing that!

[NEVER this is what you get for being friends with a creepy vampirish thing!!]

If we aren't making tarts, I've no need to stay here. I don't wish to watch you empty jars of apple sauce.
