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. ]

Um, ehehe! Wei, it's Taiwan... If anyone heard anything about me um, kissing other people and stuff a week ago, let's just forget about it, okay? I'll forget about whatever you said, too! You probably forgot about it, though, but just in case you remember... Ah, but if it's a good thing, then you can be sure that I'm definitely remembering it! [ You can't see it, but she nods. ] Mm. Yeah!

[ oh gaaaasp ] I forgot! Um, I was wondering... how can you tell if someone's a vampire? I have to know. It's important!

[ wait she's not finished ] Ohhh, wait! I was thinking about this the other day, you know! Mayfield... doesn't have a Chinese restaurant. [ says it like it's the most depressing thing ever ] So I thought, hey! Maybe I should open one up! But I don't have a place where I can set it up. I could use the basement, but Japan keeps all his weird stuff there. [ haha weird ] Ah, but I'd have to worry about where to get the ingredients, too. Aiya...

action!

[ She got her clothes back in the mail today! You don't know how happy this makes her.

A Taiwan usually goes out looking like this. But why is she making the extra effort to look good? Why is she in such a good mood? Why is she on her way to Bunker Street? And why does she look so serious when she finally gets there?

She's on a mission... shhhshshhshh only background music now. ]

[ B But sometimes, she also goes out wearing shirts like this. Not necessarily with long sleeves, mind you. I mean, in this weather? That's stupid.

... Why is she kicking the gumball machine outside the grocery... ]


Eating coins is bad!

[ Oh. ]

[ C In the afternoon, Taiwan passes by the building of the Zemekis Corps. Offices. She stands there for a while, hands on her hips. Then, she points at the building and shouts, ]


I'm on to you!

Um, hello! It's a little late, but... I wanna thank everyone who voted me for Prom Queen! And as your queen, I...! [ and now she's sounding less regal ] I know it's only a one night thing, but I wanna give something back in return. I got a lot of them back, though, and I don't think I can finish them all... [ yeah right taiwan ]

Right, right! I heard it was Mother's Day in America today. I don't have a mama, but you gotta be extra nice to yours this year, okay?

action

[ A At home, 1245 Williams Road, getting ready for her trip around town. She's fixing up the stacks of boxes she has to give away and doing a lot more work than she should on Mother's Day! Do you want to come over? Or if you're already here, you might want to stop her, tell her to take a break.

She's humming random pop songs while tying ribbons. Bother? ]


[ B Taiwan is on her scooter with some boxes of pineapple cake she regained on her way to Hong Kong's house to borrow the cutest puppy ever. If she knows you, she'll stop along the way and give you some cake, too. ]

Wei! Stop right there, please!

[ C It doesn't matter if you're a stranger or not. She's on your doorstep with the cutest puppy ever and a box of pineapple cake, yeah. ]

Hi! I got a lot of these from the post office today, but I can't eat them all, so here! I sell a lot of these back home; they're really delicious. [ Baozi barks happily. ]

[ D At the gas station, getting some gas. ... Obviously. To make this option more interesting, she totally zoomed in without a care, probably past you. You might also notice how pink and covered in Hello Kitty stickers her scooter is. ]

Aiyo, everyone's been so nice lately... I wonder what's up? [ chuckles ] Well, I guess this is good!

Um! Um, so I heard about this prom king and queen a long time ago, and I thought really long and hard about it... There were a lot of factors I considered, and um, it was a difficult decision to make, but now I've decided!

[ AND SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH ]

Taiwan is running for prom queen!

There's some tough competition out there, but I'll work hard and give it my all, you know!

[ action ]

[ A Using her door-to-door saleswoman job for something other than selling makeup again jeez Taiwan. After she rings your doorbell, she hides her campaign posters behind her back and smiles sweetly at you. ]


Hi! You're going to the prom, right? For girls, it's a night that they'll remember for the rest of their lives, you know? It'd be really nice if you could make that night something special...

[ N-no she already has a date, but please vote for her... ]

[ B So she finds out that everyone voted for everyone else already! Life is unfair! Why is life unfair! Life is so hard, she makes frustrated sounds and

FLIPS A CAR OVER

then sits on the sidewalk all hunched up as she pouts at everything. Don't worry, she'll be fine in a while, just let her sulk for a few minutes. ): ]

Hi! If anyone still wants to try out the bubble tea on the menu at the cosplay cafe, they'll only be on the menu while stocks last, so if you're too late after you hear this, that's not my fault anymore, okay?

But hey, I heard something about a prom? Wah, it sounds like so much fun! Who's going? I think I am. Yep, definitely. I think it'd be really cool if I got to go with prince or something like that. Like the ones in Goong. [Now she's a little depressed.] ... only Korea knows what I'm talking about again... [Then she remembers!] Ah, are there any princes in Mayfield? Can anyone ask for me!?

I have to get something to wear, too. Mm, there's so much to do, I wonder if I can make it...

[ action ]

[ Prom means snazzy clothes. The Doctor does not have any. Taiwan knows this. So later on in the day after her phone call, you'll find the two doing the following: ]

[ A Taiwan pulling the Doctor by the wrist as they go window shopping. ]

Wow... Look, look! I think this one will really make jiejie fall for you! [ She taps on the glass. What she's pointing at looks awfully flashy... ]

[The Doctor is being pulled, perhaps slightly against his will, and looking confused as to how the hell he got into this situation.]


Are you quite sure that's what she likes? I mean... I don't know, does anyone even know what she likes? ...Is that something that people like? Because it's really... [awful] Well, I mean it's... very... really... something.

It'll make the Doctor really something!

Well, something is a word for it.

under this cut: shirtless doctor and hipster doctor and other things )



[ ooc: Joint post with [livejournal.com profile] coolbowtie. Taiwan and the Doctor will be replying to action threads separately by default. If you prefer a three-way thread, please say so. ;u; There may be threadjacking from either of us as well. ]

[ Okay! Okay! Valentine's Day might be approaching, but forget that, it's almost the Chinese New Year! Do you know what that means?

A Residents of 1245 will see Taiwan up earlier than usual, cleaning everything in a red maid outfit. Why is she wearing a maid outfit? Did Japan put her up to this? No, she just thinks it's cute... Oh, but she remembered that she was supposed to do the same thing at Taiga's house, first! So you might see her walking with some cleaning materials and a bag full of brushes, ink and red paper, without bothering to change out of her maid outfit... Yes, it's cold, but she is going to clean Taiga's house no matter what gdi!! But she might knock on your door or stop you on the street to ask, ]


Excuse me, um, do you where Taiga lives?

[ B But then she also remembered something else! She got distracted by the shop selling chocolates, though... Oh gosh, those look good...

She might be drooling. ]


[ C Okay, she's running off for real this time! brb going to China's and Hong Kong's houses, tapping on their windows with her mop like a boss. ]

Hey! Hey, hey! [ sometimes she will throw a shoe ] Heeeeeey!

[ She has important things to nag about!

D It's evening and she's at home again, writing calligraphy on red paper. It's mostly auspicious phrases no one in this Japanese house can understand... oh but sometimes she draws a bunny or two. Later on, she makes a phone call. ]


Weiiii. So I was wondering if we have any drums lying around? Ah, or anything that makes a nice don sound. Or, or a boom sound, yeah. I'd really appreciate it! What else? Hmm... oh!

[ filtered to famiry ]

Who's cooking this year's dinner?


( ooc: tags later in the evening! )

[ So basically, this is a day in the life of Taiwan. ]

[ A Morning. You're out on the streets, right? Then you see a flash of pink speed by. Your imagination? Nah, she's not that fast. It's Taiwan on her pink! motorscooter with a matching pink!! helmet. You should move out of the way if you know what's best for you. ]


Woohoo!

[ Sorry about the coffee on your shirt or whatever. ]

[ B It's lunchtime. At the diner, she's reviewing her notes for her English lessons! Squinting from time to time. Is she reading this right? Well, whatever. They are going very smoothly... Haha... She is reading so loud. ]

Hello James I am here how are you I, [ squint ] I am waiting for long time...

[ Eats a french fry. She is concentrating so hard. ]

[ C Afternoon. brb ringing your doorbell. If you answer right away, she's clutching her case of products awkwardly. ]

Hi! Um, so I'm supposed to be selling you this really tacky makeup right now, but I kind of feel sorry for whoever has to buy it. The colors are too bright and I like a more natural look, you know? So I don't get to use the samples much even if I could. But if you want a makeover, I can give you one. Leave it to me! You have to pay, though, or I'll get droned. [ total lie ] Ah, but what I'm really here for is... I mean. I wanna know more about Mayfield. Do you have some time?

[ You can interrupt her spiel anytime. ]

[ D Nighttime. She is in her room, in her pajamas, eating pudding with a spoon. Singing J-pop and K-pop songs out loud. Like this one. Or this one. Even if it's a summer song. Man she wouldn't know it's cute okay. Jumping on the bed, aww yeah! The spoon is her makeshift microphone. Being bored in the fifties is hard. Neighbors might hear her and may chuck things at the window... Oh yeah. She forgot to close the curtains. Maybe they can see her dancing to Gee.

Or maybe they can hear her singing in the phones, too, because she totally knocked the phone over while covering a KARA song. ]


(ooc: Also! Also also also. CR chart is up, but incomplete. I'll be getting around the rest who replied to me on the CR meme, but feel free to comment so I can have your character added. Comment with the icon you want me to use, too, if you like. ;u;)

[ After going upstairs to her room and seeing this, residents of 1245 Williams Road will notice that Taiwan is nowhere to be found. Her cat will be there, though, with only half the ribbons she usually has on. It looks like she left through the back door. You can find her:

A Sitting in the same tire swing she got stuck in before in the morning. She's not stuck now, but she plans on sitting there all day, humming sad songs. ]


[ B Okay, no, this sudden bout of depression is getting her hungry. At around lunchtime, you'll find Taiwan standing in front of the Malt Shop. Oh, it's closed... She wanted to stuff herself silly with sweets, but it looks like that's not happening. She'll just stare at the front door. ]

I wanted the ice cream with the sparkles on it...

[ C Taiwan knows she'll get droned if she doesn't return in three days, but maybe that's for the best. She'll be kicking your mailbox, throwing rocks at your windows, drawing Hello Kitty on your property... I mean, ruining your Christmas. It's not much worse staying at home, but at least she'll be out of everyone's lives here in Mayfield if she leaves for good.

If anyone tries to confront her or call her out on it, she'll try to run away.

If anyone she's made friends with catches her eye, she'll run, too, but faster, and go great lengths just to hide from them. ]

[ OOC I'll be out of town from the 26th to the 29th! I'll be backtagging like crazy once I get back from the land of tarsiers and chocolate hills yesss. Merry Christmas! ]

[ Good morning, Mayfield. It's a beautiful day, isn't it? The sun is shining, the birds are singing, Japan's in her bed...






Japan's... in her bed...

Maybe if she closes her eyes, it'll go away. ...oh god he's still there insert every swear word in the Chinese language here oh my god OH MY GOD this. This is not happening, okay. She is dreaming and when she rolls off the bed, she will hurt her head so hard and she'll wake u ― THUD OW MAN OW ffffffuu ― Japan, you might have heard that. She quickly sits up. Okay, Taiwan, breathe. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

brb calling up the only other female nation she knows personally. She'll understand. Oh, there's one thing, though ― she forgot to tell the operator to make this call private. ]


Jiejie! Ei, jiejie! Japan... Japan did something really bad. You can't tell anyone, okay? Um, he's. He's on my bed.

[ ... kjgsdfg ]

He's on my ― i-i-i-it's a breach of national security!

[ Don't worry, she'll punch him soon. ]

[ ooc: that was worst hiatus ever... Anyway! Taiwan's been moved from 1488 Kramden Road to 1245 Williams Road! All calls will be ICly answered a few minutes after the action thread with Japan. ]
 
 
Current Location: 1245 Williams Road

[ Guess who got her butt stuck in the tire swing at the park this morning and wore too many layers of clothing to get out. The small of her back is a little exposed so the weather's kind of cold

holy ass it's cold

She has a suitcase with her filled with cosmetics. Or it was -- it's slightly ajar and on its side, perfume bottles, mascara and lipstick spilling out. It's a short distance away, but just out of Taiwan's reach. Even closer are a pile of fliers promoting the preservation of the Earth's oceans. They have this girl and cute, anthropomorphic sea creatures saying things like, "Yes! Save water creature!! Oh!" with a random "Nice Day ♥" on the side. The art varies in quality - you can tell which ones weren't drawn by her.

If you happen to pass Taiwan by at the park, she'll try to catch your attention. ]


H-hello! [ She waves as she holds one of the Engrish fliers in her hand. ] Ah, wait, wait, I have free samples of Nova's latest eyeshadow--hnngh! [ TRIES TO SWING TO THE OTHER SIDE.




It doesn't work. ]


... Stop looking!

[ Alternatively, she's still stuck in the tire swing, but spinning around and humming pop songs. Maybe even singing them. Shush, she has the voice of Teresa Teng... Don't ruin her delusions... ]

[ A At seven, Taiwan ever so slowly rolls out of bed and onto the floor. It's a Saturday. Who wants to get up on a Saturday? She sits up. Her eyes are barely open as she stifles a yawn and rubs her eyes. Time to start her daily routine. Opening her windows, she stretches her arms and shouts out: ]

Good morniiiiiiiing!

[ Oh, hey, this isn't her island. Someone should tell her that. ]

[ B Phone call, sometime around ten. ]

Hey, mister police officer? Hello? Um, there's a creepy man in this house, and I don't know where I am, and some pervert made me wear these tacky clothes, and they took my flower... [ She means the flower in her hair what are you thinking gosh ] It's really bad, you know! I mean, if I wanted to look retro, I would've at least tried harder!

[ C Later in the afternoon, she decides to ride around town and no, that's not her bike - she nabbed it from some drone kid. Maybe this will clear her mind a little. Watch out, though - she might be going a little too fast. ]

edit; Thank you so much for the paid account and icons, anon! ♥♥♥ You can have my hearts. All of them.
