[Reviving a dusty, old muse]
It's been so long!
I don't really mind that my old journal's gone, that place isn't as much fun to be around anymore, is it? Even if I'll miss everyone I spoke to there (well, except the jerks!)... but that's why we have memories, isn't it? So, there's no problem! I might be feeling a little wistful, but there's other things to think about now.
Like this new journal! Thanks so much, because a new journal here means keeping up! In other words, a DW journal is more trendy.
Like this flower crown!
That's still trendy, right? I was marathoning anime and working on cosplay when I wasn't trying to come up with new recipes, so I might've lost track of the time a little for like a year or two maybe— so, if it's fallen out of fashion, you'll tell me, right?!

Mmhmm, flowers in your hair really are timeless, after all!
Want to try wearing them? I've got different kinds!

[Look at all this variety! SO MANY, where'd they all come from, nobody knows.
Pick something, Alfred!]
no subject
Hmm...I think I'll take...
[But let's dace it, this is AMERICA, so naturally he reaches for the brightest and loudest looking ones. He doesn't know what they are, he just likes the colors.]
...This one!
[1/2]
[2/2]
Well, what are you waiting for?! Try it on~!!
no subject
[And with a grin he slips it on. Flowers tickling the tips of his ears.]
What d'ya think?
no subject
Cuuuuuuute!!
That's a good look for you!
[She reaches over and tries to adjust them a bit, so they're not hanging so low, but maybe it's easier to keep them up when you have more hair on your head? Either way, he looks really cute!]
Let's take a picture together, c'mon, please~?
[Is that okay? It'd be really cute!]
no subject
[Grins a grin of all almighty grins. Taiwan is the uber cute one here!]
Of course! But ya gotta promise to send me a copy of it!
no subject
no subject
... I guess not, but then, I'd have to find a new thing to compare to!
Like, maybe a cell phone!
You have one too, right?
no subject
[There's a quip of the eyebrow as he speaks, but it's otherwise clear from the playful smirk that crosses his lips that no offense was certainly taken. He wasn't that easily offended, right?]
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't have one nowadays; cell phones are a necesssity of life! Y'can't go without them, you just can't-- it doesn't strike me as right at all.
no subject
Right, right! They're more than just phones now, you can take pictures and videos... and send mail!
Say, America-san, which models do you like best? What do you use your phone for the most?
[Is she asking too many questions? She's just happy to talk to him! Besides, it's fun to compare things and get to know each other better.]
no subject
Well there's the iPhone I got-- 'cherish the thing with my life, y'know. I'm guessing that counts as an answer?
[Well, cherishes with his life until the next model comes out.]
As for what I use them for most, um... I never tried keeping track of that, actually. 'Just use them when I got to, or I want to. So how 'bout I direct the same questions back at you?
[It was all good, really-- though small talk it was, he certainly preferred the company. It was a better change from the usual monotony of his day-to-day struggles... which aren't as exciting as he would've liked them to be.]
no subject
[Taiwan brings out a pair of the girliest, most flowery pink cell phones (plum blossoms on one, cherry blossoms on the other) he might have ever seen. The backs of their already excessively decorated covers are plastered with a multitude of photo booth stickers of cheerful Taiwan flashing peace signs, sometimes accompanied by a less than enthusiastic Vietnam.
A plethora of cute mascot characters hang from both that made them look almost cumbersome to handle.]
An iPhone and a Samsung! I couldn't decide which I liked best! So I got both~ [Fiddling a bit with one of them, before she focuses on America again.]
Hnnn, when you can't settle on one of two equally appealing choices, what do you usually do, America-san?
shoves a placeholder for now
It's also much cleaner here.
[1/2; HELLO, MAU'S FRIEND.]
[Flapping her sleeves and practically chirping.] It's so good to see you!
[Hello, hello, favourite jiejie!
More like only jiejie, but that's besides the point.][2/2]
But what do you mean by cleaner?
UGH SO LATE /SHOOTS SELF
It is good to see you too, Taiwan.
But yes, if the humans can do it, so can we.
[She then brushes her hand over Dreamwidth's layout.] Doesn't it look a bit more tidier than our old home?
IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY! -knocks gun away-
[(Basically! You're one of the few, the very precious sane family members she has! )
Taiwan looks around at it.] Um, it's very... red? Must be lucky!
[She miiight have missed when LJ went clunky and disorganized, but Taiwan could never have too many lucky things!
... and speaking of being the only jiejie—]
Let's take a picture to commemorate finding each other here!
[No chance to protest, Taiwan's already brought out a ridiculously pink and flowery, mascot-crowded cell phone for selfie!
How much dignity do you still have left in you, Vietnam.]OH MY HERO!!!
[(THANK YOU FOR EACH OTHER, IN A WAY. Except when Taiwan does this. Help.)
Red, actually--] That is a good point, I think we may have had more luck lately!
[She doesn't want to go back now, Taiwan, don't do it!
...oh god.]
A-ah, there is no need...
[It's a cute and probably state of the art phone, BUT PHOTOS ARE HORRIFYING.
She probably has none left, but is trying to replenish. HELP.]... I am so sorry for your muse, though.
Taiwan is very proud of it, but it's probably blackmail material for everyone else involved.]SUPER LUCKY selfiiiiie!
[She's reaching out to grab Vietnam's hand! THERE WILL BE NO ESCAPE ONCE YOU'RE CAUGHT.]
don't be sorry, cos I'm not :>
Deities know she's afraid of that phone.]Super lucky...?
[She's already been grabbed, so now she can't run! She honestly can't say no to Taiwan, huh.]
[GOOD!]
Cheeeeeeeeeeese!!
[MEET YOUR FATE WITH A SMILE, VIETNAM.]
/HIGHFIVES US!
I-I'm--!!
["NOT READY!" was what she was trying to say, so she just looks surprised in the photo. Better than her awkward forced smiles though!]
[PICTURES FOR POSTERITY.]
and that's not just the timing of this response.The picture has been taken, the frame is set, and Taiwan's verdict is—?!]
... this great! This is really cute. I'll mail you a copy, okay?
Here, look, look!
OH MY GOSH THAT PICTURE IS THE BEST
Vietnam opens her phone with dread and looks at the picture.
Ah, yes, there she is, looking like an embarrassment compared to Taiwan looking very cute.]
N-no, you are cute, but I...
[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!]
[OPTIMISM.]
I STILL STARE AT IT LASJKLAS
Vietnam pretty much hangs her head LKJSAJKL]
A-ah, I knew it! I'm not cut out for photographs!
[MY GOAL IS TO ENTERTAIN. o/]
Chi!
Don't give up! Take heart! It can be taught. Look, look, we could practice on more popular faces for pictures!
[Aaand quickly searching up pictures on her cell phone, because we're gonna teach Vietnam to make duckfaces and Aegyo faces and EVERY KIND OF FACE
her facial muscles were probably never meant to make ever, and maybe now, it's a good time to realize this is a bit silly.]... but, but, also, you could just think of it as your own charm, you know! Vietnam has a very cool, stony expression— so maybe you should just stay as you are! Japan-san, too, is very subtle! So, maybe, you're more like a cool beauty!
[... quite possibly the first sensible thing she's said all day!]
