( with florence and napoleon back, it feels like a big weight has been lifted off and instead her mind is filled with the thoughts of needing to do something. so dressed warmly, and somewhat brightly, she's off for the day to do the following: )

[ Passing by Elizabeth's house lalala--
Staring. Huh.

Oh wait it's rude to stare. Taiwan really wants to ask, but it's weird to go around asking strangers that. She puts her hands behind her back. ]

Um...! Is that supposed to be England?

[generose]

( pausing in her precise placement of the licorice eyebrows to glance at taiwan, and then back to the snowman before taking a few steps back.

st-staring. )

Huh, I guess it is. ( terrible. )

[hwamei]

[ laughs and laughs ]

I'm right! It's the tea-drinking melon head. [ so amused, she wants to take a picture. ] You know him?

[generose]

The resemblance between the two is almost scary now that I look at it. ( it'll be like a scarecrow, but made of snow! ) I'm one of his technical citizens.

[hwamei]

So it's like that. Do you know Florence? She's his citizen, too.

[generose]

Florence? She's my best friend, we attended the same academy before ending up in this town.

[hwamei]

Small world! I'm Taiwan. Nice to meet you, uh... What's your name?

[generose]

Small town really. Nice to meet you, Taiwan. My name is Elizabeth.

[hwamei]

Ooh, Elizabeth. Like the queen! [ nod nod. she doesn't think much of it, just that she's england's citizen, and her name is elizabeth... it's so typical to her! it's cute! ]

Did you and Florence arrived at the same time?

[generose]

Exactly. ( she might giggle lightly, giving a thoughtful look at the question. )

Unfortunately, we didn't. Let's see, her and Napoleon arrived about the same time which was. . . almost a month after I arrived.

[hwamei]

Like the emperor? [ huh. a funny pattern. ]

Oh. She said she left and came back, too. It's just you three?

ahhh, i didn't see this tag in my inbox ;;;

[generose]

Marie, Freud and. . . ( wondering if she should just say hitler's name. ) There's six of us here, Joan used to be here too.

But, um, yeah. We're all named after historical figures.

It's fine!

[hwamei]

That's really cute! Are you all related? Or is it all coincidence? Ah, they're codenames aren't they?

[generose]

Ah, well, none of the above. We're all named after them because they were our originals; we're clones, you see.

[hwamei]

... America's perfected that already?

[generose]

I think it was more of a collective effort of many different countries.
