ONE - ACTION; locked to 1124 Taylor Street & backdated to a few days ago. [ so, Marui had woken up in this weird place, right? And he'd made it through the initial freakout stage pretty well; no major hysterics or anything. He'd even looked at the fake photos without feeling that creeped out.

He is actually really stumped on what to do, though,

[ DING DONG goes the doorbell. Taiwan is up and about making her rounds today. P.S. She sells makeup, that's what the huge case is for.

Don't make fun of the pink scooter parked at the front... ]

Hello! I was wondering if I could interest you in any of my fine products that - oh! I haven't seen you around before. Are you new? Did you drink the milk!?

[myougi]

[ he just sort of stands there with a spatula in his hand for a few seconds before his brain decides to start up again. ]

Huh? No, I didn't. Is there something wrong with the milk?

[hwamei]

I hear it's made of something really gross, but you know, as long as you don't touch it, I think you'll be okay!

When did you arrive?

[myougi]

Oh, that sounds really gross... What about milk from the store, is that alright? [ growing teenagers need their calcium, after all! ]

Arrive...? Well, I woke up here this morning, if that's what you mean.

[hwamei]

Ooh, I see. Welcome to Mayfield, then! It's really scary, but if you make a lot of friends, you'll be just fine! [ Maybe. ] The milk from the store is okay, just don't drink the bottles from the Milkman. He's a really sketchy character if you ask me.

[myougi]

I see... having people to depend on is always nice, right? Especially in rough times. [ ... ] The Milkman? No name or anything?

[hwamei]

No. I only know what he does. Like the Postman and the Librarian... oh, the librarian has a name, though!

But most of the people here are like us.

[myougi]

... What do you mean, "like us"? [ guess who was lucky enough to end up in a house with all non-drones. ] Like, I get that this Milkman guy is kinda off, but so far everybody I've met is, you know. Normal.

[hwamei]

Hahaha, we're the weird ones here. You'll know when you get to school! If you don't go, something bad will happen, you know.

[myougi]

Something worse than detention? Haha - well, as much as I dislike school, I wouldn't skip it anyways.

... Hey, thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it. [ ... ] Could I ask for your name?

[hwamei]

Oh, it's nothing! I'm Taiwan. What's your name?

[myougi]

Like the country? Haha, that's a unique name, isn't it?

Marui Bunta. [ ... ] I guess now I'm supposed to be Bunta Heiwajima, though.

[hwamei]

[ Preens a little. She is a country, yep. ] It really is!

Oh, forget that. The town's just stubborn about those things... I'll call you Bunta. It's nice to meet you! If you need any help, just ask me, okay? You can ask Japan, too!

[myougi]

Thanks for the offer, I might have to take you up on it someday! [ he smiles. ]

Japan...? Haha, did your parents do theme naming or something...?

[hwamei]

[ She laughs. ] I don't have parents! [ But she doesn't look offended. ]

Well, if you don't want any makeup, [ Taps her case. ] I guess I should get going.

Ooh, I almost forgot. [ Hands a copy of this letter to him. ] Here.

[myougi]

Oh - my bad. [ he seems a little abashed, but she seems okay with it, so... ]

As much as I've always wanted to try on makeup, I think I'll give it a pass this time, sorry. [ he smiles as he takes the letter. ] Thanks for all the help.
