✿ 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. ]

✿ phone

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 ]

I didn't break them.

It was just a word of friendly advice.

[ leaves the phone on the table and rushes to the nearest window to check for england ]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[he is still on the phone not outside her house!!!!]

Perhaps they were rusty locks, though.

[naicha]

[ the locks are still there okay good, going back to the phone... ]

Stupid England... [ mumble grumble!! ]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Sorry, what was that?

[naicha]

[ picks up the phone!! ]

Nothing! ... I'll keep my windows extra secure tonight!

Or should I... I've always wanted to be serenaded, you know.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, I knew quite a many ballads in my time.

[naicha]

I don't want to hear The Lusty Young Smith!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Why not?

It's a very moving tune.

[naicha]

Hmph! I don't want to be serenaded by just anyone. They have to be extra special.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Sorry, being the nation of England must be too ordinary.

[naicha]

Oh, you know what kind of special I mean. He has to at least know some Jay Chou, too.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Then teach me some Jay Chou.

[naicha]

[ sputters ]

Teach... You want me to teach you? England... J-Jay Chou...

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'm an intelligent young man.

I don't see why not.

[naicha]

You're not young.

But I guess I could... hm, I'll teach you a nice song!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'm only twenty-three give or take a few hundreds.

Go ahead and teach me, then.

[naicha]

Okay, okay. This one is called Common Jasmine Orange, you know, it sounds very nice on the guitar. So the first line goes, [ sings ] "Chuangwai de maque zai dianxiangan shang douzui." Now you try. [ just teach England a song in Mandarin why don't you!! ]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Ch... Chaungwai de... shang douzui.

There.

[naicha]

You left out everything else!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see you sing Lusty Young Smith in one go!

[naicha]

I don't want to sing anything lewd.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

For all I know, Common Jasmine Flower could be a lewder song! About... promiscuous men and women fornicating. The title is insidious.

[naicha]

Vincent Fang would never let Jay Chou sing something like that! What kind of title is Lusty Young Smith, anyway? Who writes songs about young men in heat, huh?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

The title is misleading. It's a moving tale about the complex emotions and feelings of a young man and a frustrated young lady.
