✿ action

[ Tiny Taiwan is walking around or on top of a ladder covered in Christmas lights and tinsel as attempts to hang them on the front of her house at 1245 Williams Road. On one hand, she looks like she could use some help! On the other, she looks like she's having so much fun... She doesn't celebrate Christmas, not like this, but cold weather and recent events have gotten her in a Christmas mood.

The cafe isn't open around this time yet, but passerby may notice the sudden addition of a pair of plum blossom trees in her front yard. ]

Look, I'm a Christmas tree!

[ Chances are she's talking to Pops, Nadeko or Homura, who are inside the house, but feel free to approach her while she's decorating, too. ]

Hi, um, I have a question!

[ You can just tell this isn't important. She is all about the trivial things today. Oh well, they easily take her mind off the events of last week! ]

Are nations allowed to kiss each other? Is that okay? If your nation kissed another nation, would that be okay with you? [ A beat. ] What if they weren't a nation?

I really want to know! Because I don't want to not be a nation if it's not allowed... Thank you!

[ TAIWAN WHY DIDN'T YOU FILTER THIS SCREAMS ]

[naicha]

Right! Even England says he's kissed someone before!

Voilà. You see? Nothing bad comes of nations kissing other nati –

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Wait.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

What?

[ that poor, unfortunate soul ]

[naicha]

I can't imagine it either! It must've been a dream. That's where most unbelievable things happen!

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. I mean, come on, does he actually believe that anyone will fall for that? He is the worst liar. No one would ever want to lock lips with him of all people.

[naicha]

Hahahaha! It's true, it's true! Only France would kiss a guy like that!

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Which is saying a lot because even France would never –

Euh, hold on, is there something about England and France that I should know?

[naicha]

Eh? Is there something? I dunno... They fight a lot! And Spain says sometimes you end up liking people you fight a lot. [ was that what he said?? oh well ]

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Uhm, well, the way you said it kind of made it sound like something might have happened between the two of them and – ah, forget about it! Sometimes I have a tendency to overthink things a little too much, you know?

Eh? How does he know? [ because heaven forbid that happening to her ]

[naicha]

Oh, I dunno! I guess it's a European thing, hehe. I can relate a bit, though...

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Those old guys do a lot of things that make no sense if you ask me.

S-so it does happen in the real world?

[naicha]

Yes! Like a true romantic comedy!

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

I always thought that sort of thing only happened in the movies.

[ and then it hits her. ]

Mademoiselle? Did you kiss someone you fight with a lot?

[naicha]

...

Will you promise not to tell a soul? [ TAIWAN HOW MANY SOULS HAVE YOU TOLD ]

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

You can count on me.

[ NO TAIWAN DON'T DO IT ENGLAND THOUGHT HE COULD COUNT ON HER TOO ]

[naicha]

[ oh no oh noooooooo ]

He lives pretty near me back home... He's the one who lived with England once.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

That could be a lot of people …

Oh! I know! Is it India? It's India, right? [ never mind the fact that India has never even set foot in Mayfield, Seychelles ]

[naicha]

It's not India! He's not my type, anyway...

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Come to think of it, is India even in town?

[naicha]

Huh! If he was in town, people would definitely notice, wouldn't they?

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Right. I should have thought of that! He's always been the flashy type, right? So he would be impossible to overlook. _{Urgh, I can be so dumb sometimes …}

Do I still have more chances to guess?

[naicha]

It's okay, it's okay! Seychelles has two more tries to get it right.

[sellchelles.livejournal.com]

Two, huh? Okay! I think I can do this. Uhm, let's see … there's China, Japan, Thailand, and Macau, but I don't recall any of those four ever living with --

-- e-eh? That just leaves Hong Kong, doesn't it?

[naicha]

... Yeah...

Don't tell anyone! I'm really serious about that! But... mm, it's, it's him. [ Covers her face with a pillow aaaaaaah!! ]
