[✤ACTION]

[Did you know that 945 Beulah Street is pretty much the ugliest house in all of Mayfield now? Because it really is. There's a giant banyan tree in the backyard thanks to Taiwan, and then she went ahead and painted the entire house orange a month or so ago ( Read more... )

[He snapped out of his droning a few hours ago.

-and then hadn't said a word about it, quietly checking a calendar- (Missed my own fuckin' birthday? Tch)- and ensuring that Taiwan continued to sleep safely in their bed. He'd silently checked on Saki and Mindy, as well, pausing only briefly at their doorways before gently picking up Chocomeltje ( Read more... )

[To say that he has recovered from the incidents of last week is a tricky thing; he woke up with his body wholly restored, but there had been repercussions to deal with. He's learning the hard way that phantom pain cannot be eliminated with a prescription, that nightmares of smoke and fire do not disappear so easily. But weaknesses are to be pushed ( Read more... )

Everything's so tense. I mean, it's spaced out, but-- I almost miss Amsterdam and the way everything's so crowded that people have got to live on top of one another ( Read more... )

[There's some angry muttering over the line at first, unfiltered, but in Dutch:] Fuck die vrouw, smerige kankerhoer, zij niet weet niets over mij-- [A certain encounter has had him pissed off since yesterday evening. And what he's been dealing with since Sunday isn't helping, either- Taiwan has been permadroned ( Read more... )

[This was supposed to be filtered to Japan, but it isn't, either due to weed or laziness.]Hey, Japan? I know you must be kind of distracted lately with this election stuff, but I was thinking about that project we're putting together. I think it needs a mascot ( Read more... )
