[ Hello, Arika. Since Taiwan got a letter from the Ladies' Association saying she had to get her butt here and bake her a pie, she does just that. She doesn't know where her house is, though, or what she looks like. Just that she had some problems with her husband, that's all! Don't worry, Taiwan can help!!

ahhh who is that girl. better ask for directions. ]

Ah, hello! Do you know where 2235 Stevens Road is? I'm looking for an Arika... Arika... hmm, that's probably not her last name. Do you know where she lives?

action grannysaid January 16 2011, 14:59:25 UTC

[She stops, peering at the the other and the question. Arika... Oh! That's her, isn't it?]

Yumemiya! [The girl in mention blurts out, hands and body moving with surprise.]

It's Arika Yumemiya. That's me. [And then, after an awkward pause, she smiles -- large and bright.]

I just came from that house. Um, the one you mentioned!

Re: action hwamei January 16 2011, 15:07:19 UTC

Oh! Haha. Okay. Nice to meet you! I'm Taiwan. Um, I dunno what Mayfield's up to this time, but this letter said you were having [ She reads from the letter in her right hand. ] marriage problems...?

[ The pie she made (which she actually bought from the store, shh) is in a box in her left, by the way. ]

action grannysaid January 16 2011, 18:29:04 UTC

[The look she gives Taiwan practically screams: "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU."]

M-"marriage"!? I've never been married!

action hwamei January 16 2011, 18:31:21 UTC

Me neither. I'm married to my brother in this town, though. [ wait ] Are you new?

action grannysaid January 16 2011, 19:01:17 UTC

To your brother? [Huh. --Oh!] Yes, I am!

action hwamei January 16 2011, 19:14:32 UTC

Did anyone else tell you about how they make it seem like you've been living here all your life, happily married to a guy you barely know?

action grannysaid January 16 2011, 19:29:10 UTC

[wat]

No, no one... has.

action hwamei January 16 2011, 19:32:22 UTC

Well, that's how things work around here! I guess what this letter really meant is that you've just arrived. But at least we can set that aside for now, right?

Do you have any questions? [ ...offers her the box haha ] Do you want some pie?

action grannysaid January 16 2011, 19:45:47 UTC

[Well, she does have a lot of questions and pie sounds pretty good nearly at all times...]

Oh, I have an idea! [She takes the offered box, her eyes suddenly twinkling.] Why don't you share this with me, and we can talk?

action hwamei January 17 2011, 09:14:31 UTC

[ That's a good idea. She nods enthusiastically ] I can go with that! I'll tell you everything I know, you know.

action grannysaid January 17 2011, 18:15:31 UTC

Great! [She chirps this, practically beaming by now.]

Shall we go, then?

action hwamei January 17 2011, 23:10:47 UTC

Sure. [ and they walk back to Arika's place. ] Oh, did you drink the bottle of milk on your doorstep?

action grannysaid January 18 2011, 00:23:14 UTC

[A pause as she thinks it over, annnnd:] Nope! [Oh, milk and pie? Mmmmmm.]

I put it away. [She opens the door, skirting in and quite excited for pleasant company.

Answers, as well.]

action hwamei January 18 2011, 00:59:28 UTC

Good. [ she leans in to whisper as she walks past Arika ] 'Cause it's made of people.

[ it's true, she thinks! now that she's inside, she'll make her way to the kitchen to set the pie down ]

If there's one thing you shuold know, you can't trust the milkman, or the postman, or the mayor. Not even the police. And especially not the postman!

action grannysaid January 18 2011, 02:34:13 UTC

[Thaaaaaaat just crashed her mood. Oh god wat.]

P-people?! The milk is made out of people?! [Arika enters the kitchen herself, picking up the bottle of milk with shaky hands.

It's going straight into the garbage, yes.]

--I can't... trust them? Why? [As if human-flavored milk isn't enough. Seriously.]
