[It's the morning after the end of the candy madness, and Taiwan is just returning home after a completely unintended night-long vacation at Mayfield's hotel.  The effect of the spicy candy has long since worn off, but she didn't have a change of clothes with her, so she's still wearing her sexy nurse getup.  She walks through the streets of

. . . I guess the yard doesn't look so empty any more.

[pinkplumblossom]

I definitely wasn't expecting something like this to show up.

[a_gentle_boy]

Um. I'm guessing this is something built in . . . you in your home.

[pinkplumblossom]

Yeah, it's one of my lighthouses from back home. It's called Eluanbi Light. Looks like Mayfield shrunk it down a little, though.

[a_gentle_boy]

Elaunbi . . . That's a pretty name.

I don't know if a lighthouse on your front lawn will be very useful, though. I guess it's a nice . . . decoration.

[pinkplumblossom]

Well, it's not as if there are any ships sailing toward Mayfield to take advantage of the light... I guess I'll have to turn it off so it doesn't wake up the neighbors at night.

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh! Maybe you can use it to signal secret messages to people across town! Like with that code.

[pinkplumblossom]

Morse Code? That might be pretty useful, actually.

[a_gentle_boy]

Maybe once I get PK Flash back, I can send you messages back, too!

Although you might not want to look at it directly.

[pinkplumblossom]

I'll have to practice, then! I haven't used Morse Code since the war.

[a_gentle_boy]

I, um. Don't know it at all. What war was this?

[pinkplumblossom]

World War II. It was a big war back in my world. Almost every country on Earth was involved.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Was this before or after the Cold War?

[pinkplumblossom]

It was before all of that. In a lot of ways, it led to it.

[a_gentle_boy]

I should really try and learn a little more about the history of what happened in the Earth worlds . . .

But things were OK in the end, right?

[pinkplumblossom]

Yeah. America and Russia eventually set aside their differences and became friends again. They still have disagreements every so often, but things are mostly peaceful in the time I'm from.
