_{[ You know, pod!Taiwan isn't very different from regular Taiwan. Same old, same old. She's always been this cheery. But then you cut in line somewhere, accidentally hit her somehow, take the last jello that was supposed to be hers, bump into her in the streets. ]}

Ahhh! People are so rude nowadays. I'm tired of being ignored and looked down on, you know? "She's just one small island, what can she do?" "Oh, she's so cute, she wouldn't harm a fly!" Aiyo, don't be so judgmental! Hehe, well, I guess the last part is true. You're all flies, aren't you? Annoying pests. Small, insignificant, annoying pests! <sub>[ laughs...

She'll stomp on your foot, shove you aside, or eat that jello, thank you very much. Have a nice day!!! ]</sub>

✿ action 2

_{[ If she catches you doing slacking off on the job or at school, as a concerned student and co-worker, she'll say this: ]}

Slacking off again, aren't you? Mm, that's bad. You're stupid and good for nothing, though, so I guess it's okay. You can rot and die over there, if you want!

✿ action 3



_{[ Oh my god Taiwan what are you doing with a kitchen knife. It's okay guys, this is the real Taiwan out looking for some pods to cut open. If your character wants to be saved by her, tag with the location of the pod, and if you feel like it, you can make her encounter the pod version of your character, too! Otherwise, if you have CR with her or you regularly go to school, the diner, the park or the cosplay cafe, she'll flag you down and ask: ]}

Heeeey! Hey, you're not fake and stuff, right? <sub>[ Yeah, she's waving around... her knife...

There's a chance that they might bump into the same nation around town, looking less dangerous, but certainly without good intentions. ]

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 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. ]}

_{[ There certainly isn't anything strange at all about this. I mean the bed is so soft and the smells are so sweet and everything feels so right, Taiwan doesn't want to get up. After sleeping for an extra five minutes, she has to force herself to rise. Someone's got to cook breakfast. Maybe she should stop being groggy, first... ]}

Mm... Zao an, ah... _{[ pats her cheeks ]} How are you, Taiwan? Well, you know me, I'm always one hundred percent okay, you know. Hehehe... <sub>[ so sleeeepy. Hm? Who's this next to her? Maybe they got lost or something. Oh well, time to wake them up. ]

Where are... her clothes... ]</sub>





Wah! _{[ In her surprise, she falls off the edge of the bed, grabs the covers, rolls on floor and wraps herself in the sheets in one fluid motion. Okay, no, I was lying about the fluid bit, but it was definitely fast. Now she's going to try and ask him to leave politely, because that's what a sensible person would do. ]}

Hi, everyone! It was Qixi yesterday, you know. Qixi! _{[ She pronounces it more clearly. ]} Qixi is like, hmm... like Tanabata or, or Valentine's Day! Yeah, that's more like it. It's a day when everyone gives everyone else chocolates and flowers and chocolates and, and other neat things and chocolates, and they go on dates under the full moon and it's like that Teresa Teng song and then they kiss and say I love you and-

Oh! Hehe, right. Anyway, on that day, people usually write their wishes of love down and hang them up so that they'll be granted love and happiness! Or something like that. _{[ Suddenly, she is sad. ]} I didn't want that day to pass with a lot of people being lonely...

_{[ Back to her usually cheery self! ]} So I thought that everyone should get another shot at it! Drop by 1245 Williams Road and I'll see what I can do.

The box is covered in cute heart stickers and labeled WISHING BOX. There's a small slit at the top for people to submit slips of paper to. If you plan on stealing any of these things, tough luck.

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!

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...

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.

Eating coins is bad!

Oh, the things she does for love. ]}

Good morning! Nice weather this year, isn't it? <sub>[ instead of the usual "Hi!" or "Zao an!" ]

[ B Shaved ice. Shaved ice. Was that even a thing? She just wants some right now. On a whim, she takes a trip to the grocery, walking briskly along the aisles for toppings: taro, azuki beans, grass jelly, anything--

She slows down to a stop in aisle 12. ]</sub>



Ah... What was I looking for again?

Alternatively, you may have bumped into her on her search! ]

[ C After tucking her three darling little angels in bed (and it's definitely not strange, how she is eighteen and he is twenty-five and their children are at least twelve, heavens no!) Xiaomei has a cup of coffee while propped up on her bed, reading a book she's certainly never touched. It's hard to focus on the text when what Shiki said this morning still bothers her. ]</sub>



Are they really trying to kill us? ... That's silly. <sub>[ She takes a sip of coffee. It's salty. Strange, she thinks she's never done that before...

Feel free to call her, the phone is on the nightstand. ]

<sub>[ Taiwan is in her room, loading her handgun and she doesn't even try to hide it. She holds the gun firmly in her hand for one moment, but loosens her grip, frowns and worries. She doesn't want to take another person's life if she can help it, but if it means protecting those who mean so much to her - twenty-three million people of her people, and then some - then she'll do what it takes.

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

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?

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

<sub>[ It's such a beautiful Monday morning! The sun is shining, the grass is green - oh, why is everything back to normal, that's not right...

Well, after the initial shock, Taiwan decides not to let that bother her too much. She doesn't even realize that she was droned for a few days. She keeps switching the lights off whenever she finds them on, though. Just a heads up. ]

[ A At the cosplay cafe, she'll be working like nothing even happened. She's in a cute schoolgirl uniform since it's April - the start of the Japanese school year! The cherry blossom tree outside their house helps set the mood as well. Ah, what's this? Taiwan looks really happy today. Could it be because of the drink she's been advertising nonstop? Bubble tea is the newest item on the menu and she is very, very enthusiastic about it. Why don't you go try it out? ]</sub>

It's really yummy!

<sub>[ Maybe she stops you while you're passing by, maybe she's the waitress taking your order right now. However you meet her, how could you say no to this face? How could you? ]

[ B She's not very good at this acting thing. Maybe you'll catch her by the counter on her break. ]</sub>

Japan said my character was supposed to be the exchange student from Taiwan who is _{[ She pulls her sleeve down a bit and continues as if she is reading something. ]} popular for her zettai ryouiki and hard worker, but naive and a dojikko.

I wonder what a dojikko is...

<sub>[ C Spring means baseball! She hasn't even changed out of her uniform yet, she is that excited. Well, you can still move in a skirt, right? So you'll catch her at the high school's baseball field, pulling out the baseball equipment. Yeah, she broke whatever lock was on it. No, shut up, she doesn't care if she doesn't go here, she wants to play. ]



[ D At the hardware store, trying to buy a pistol and arguing with the store clerk drone. ... More like, grabbing him by the collar. She is mad! ]</sub>

<sub>[ Alright, it's been bugging her, but she can't leave those people at the gas station alone. She needs to get out there, on the highway. There's one problem, though. One of these days, she will learn not to give other people her guns. Yes, Korea, she might have to ask you to buy her a new one. Oh wait, nevermind. One just appeared out of nowhere. Little does she know that her fake daughter has anything to do with it. This is good. She can go back to that place without worrying about her own safety. ... or she thinks.

Today, she's a door-to-door saleswoman, but how she carries herself is a little different.

C Whatever, man, she's not listening to Grady, that big fatty fat fat stupidhead. You'll find her in town, driving her super manly Hello Kitty scooter. But what's this? Oddly enough, she's not bumping into anything! She's driving pretty fast, though, as usual. She's headed for the exit, alone... No time for making her usual trips to the bakery or the other shops. Maybe you want to wave and say hi? Maybe you want to know what's up - surely you've seen her be a reckless driver before. Or maybe you want to stop her. ]

<sub>[ Today, you can find Taiwan in the following places: ]

[ A Apparently March is catgirl month at Japan's cosplay cafe. Don't talk to Taiwan about it - bring it up with the weird otaku man in charge by the counter. Not that anyone would actually complain about girls in knee highs, short skirts, and incredibly cute cat ears I mean ]</sub>

Huān​ yíng​ guāng​ lín​! That means "welcome," you know. This'll come out in the test! <sub>[ She'll greet you with that once you enter. Or will you try to catch her attention from your table, instead? Or maybe you're just a passerby wondering when nations ever grew tails.

She's wearing a school uniform. Not that this is important or anything... ]

[ B They ran out of eggs and ketchup for omurice! So Taiwan's making a quick trip to the grocery and running in her costume like a magical girl moeblob! Maybe you'll catch her before she gets there. Or in the wrong aisle, shoving all the sweets she can find in her basket. Or on her way back, carrying a lot more than her co-workers expected her to. Don't worry, she bought the eggs. ]

[ C Taiwan's done with work and it's nearly sunset, but she hasn't gone home yet. Instead, she has her scooter parked a distance away from the Smith's house. She looks on, unusually serious.

This scene would be so much cooler if her ride wasn't covered in happy stickers. ]

(ooc: tags in the morning!)</sub>

<sub>[ Good morning, Taiwan! It's Valentine's Day. You have to wake up real early so you can get all the chocolate before the other girls do. That's the whole point of this holiday, isn't it?

Taiwan's wide awake - she's all dressed up, too! Oh, you thought she didn't have a date this year? Well, there's a certain someone she wants to give chocolates to... But before that, she makes a trip to the mailbox to check if she's received anything important. You may not know this, but she's pretty popular, you know! Or so she likes to think. But today, she doesn't find any greeting cards, flowers or love letters - only an envelope similar to the one that arrived last month. Strange. She wonders what it is this time. Picking it out of the mailbox, she opens the envelope - wait. Wait. Something's missing. Oh, right. Background music. ]</sub>

( cut for cheesiness hahaha )

Bye bye. _{[ HANGS UP before he can say anything else because god if she heard his voice right now that'd be embarrassing ]}

<sub>[ 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, ]</sub>

Excuse me, um, do you where Taiga lives?

<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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

<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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!

Woohoo!

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

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

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?

<sub>[ 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. ]

<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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

<sub>[ 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! ]</sub>

<sub>[ 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. ]</sub>

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! <sub>[ TRIES TO SWING TO THE OTHER SIDE.

_{[ 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.
