Hey, you! Hey, hey you!

[ Taiwan is running up to people dressed up as this little guy, patting people's cheeks. Why? Well... ]

If you don't smile, you'll get older faster, you know. [ She waves her star wand around. ] That's why Teacher has a lot of wrinkles! Do you want to be like Teacher?

the biggest smile possible.]

Ah... AHAHAHA, of... of course I'm not o... ol... I am nothing like China and that does not need to be said- [politely trying to remove Taiwan's hands from her face now, okay

[lotuslife]

A-aaah- the seller in Đà Nẵng was very reputable and you do know what Japan has always said about the effects of nightingale droppings-

[lotuslife]

[her own hands fly out to grab Taiwan's cheeks in return.]

I- I do not need to 'anti-age' when I am not 'pro-aging'!

[bubbleteatime]

[ if you mean Open-chan's head then yes. ]

Ahaha, Vietnam's wrinkles are showing again! [ squish squish ]

[lotuslife]

[this is terrifying]

Watch me smile!! I'm smiling! Đó là tuyệt vời!

[bubbleteatime]

[ stops squishing ] Oh! Okay. Then Vietnam-jie is well on her way to discover the secret of eternal youth! [ thumbs up!! yeahhh ]

[lotuslife]

There's a secret?

[SUDDEN INTEREST]

[bubbleteatime]

Um, yeah!

But I dunno what it is. It's not a secret for nothing, you know!

[lotuslife]

...Em Taiwan will be getting wrinkles soon. [looks a bit calmer]

[bubbleteatime]

[ y-you ] It's six hundred years too early for jiejie to say that!

[lotuslife]

Wrinkles will give Em's face some character. Perhaps then the world at large will choose to take her seriously?

[bubbleteatime]

No! A playful babyface with an agenda, armed with talent and brimming with determination - that kind of gap is what people look for!

[lotuslife]

[headtiiilt aaaand best condescending asian face] And you wonder why nobody will recognize you.

[bubbleteatime]

I'll captivate everyone with my honest and hardworking nature.

[lotuslife]
