[On Sunday evening, the general populace of Mayfield is treated to the following phone call by Taiwan and Seychelles, who are both huddled around the telephone in the van der Bilt family's living room.  PURPLE text is Taiwan, BLUE is Seychelles.  Taiwan's the one on the phone, and Seychelles will be interjecting things from behind her as she talks

[GUESS WHO'S ON THIS SO FAST. SO FAST. Hey that's what he does, right? Scout doesn't know Seychelles but whatever. TAIWAN. YES. This will make him feel better since all his lovely lady friends have been droned lately.]

Seriously?! Just like... anyone? Wait, a double date?! [There's a momentary pause.] Wait, how old's yer friend?! What kinda guys does she like?

[tuna_surprise]

[Seychelles is gonna field this one herself]

Age isn't really a huge factor. The town thinks I'm a teenager, but I was first colonized in the eighteenth century.

As for type.... I think I'd prefer a sensitive, considerate guy who thinks of me as a person, instead of just a convenient spice route or a pretty beach.

[Hahaha, doing this for nations is so fun.^__^]

[freakinblur]

[He is... so confused. He doesn't really get you nation people and he never will. There's a pause while he digests this.]

Okay. Right. Sensitive guy. Long walks an' all that. I'm sure I can find somebody!

...what the heck country are ya, anyway?

[tuna_surprise]

The republic of Seychelles. Umm... my house is an island off the coast of Africa.

[rogue_crow]

[There is an important clearing of a throat over the phone.] My dear ladies, my friend and I enjoy all of these things, and would be most honored to share with you any or all of them!

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!? I thought we were going to have coffee! You big fat liar...

I am Zevran, and my friend here is Conrad... [There is a pause here, in which one imagines he intended to insert the man's last name, but...]

Achenleck. ACHENLECK YOU DEAF ELF! God is my name seriously that HARD!?

[...after hearing it, Zevran gives up. He forges ahead as though there were no interruption at all.] And we would quite like to meet you. When would be convenient?

[tuna_surprise]

[Surprised island is surprised.]

C-Conrad? Is that you?

[brb awkward embarrassment forever. Btw, I <3 you for doing this.]

[pinkplumblossom]

Oh, the two of you already know each other? That's even better! How does Wednesday night sound for the two of you?

[rogue_crow]

[There is a brief scuffling as Zevran wrestles the phone back from Conrad, with a side of 'Oh, relax!'] Excellent! Where and when shall we pick you up?

[wise_king]

Two islands now? Interesting.

[pinkplumblossom]

Oh, hello, Merem.

[wise_king]

Before you ask, I'm not interested in your offer. I'm simply curious in what you have planned.

[tuna_surprise]

Umm... It's a date. What do you think we have planned?

[nirvananation]

Ah...Kuhn Taiwan, please make sure they are respectable individuals, ana.

[tuna_surprise]

Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves.

[nirvananation]

I do not doubt that, Kuhn Seychelles.

[pinkplumblossom]

Of course! I wouldn't settle for anything less.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Miss Taiwan? Can't you just ask Mr. Netherlands?

[Is. She cheating on him. Sob.]

[tuna_surprise]

Other nations have broken our hearts for the last time. All they're interested in is our trading ports and spice routes anyway.

We're looking for guys that will like us for who we are.

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Huh? Sorry, are you Miss Seychelles? I don't really know what you mean.

[tuna_surprise]

Male nations have done nothing but cause us heartbreak and sorrow. So we're going to see if dating regular guys is better for us.
