[[OOC: In case it's not obvious from context, this color is meilihua, and this one is asideglance. Wow this entry is so incredibly feminine...]]

[The scene that greets you when you look in your screen is surprisingly colorful. There are folded origami cranes grouped in bright rainbows on the ground and table, boxes of beads and spools of thread scattered everywhere, along with other arts-and-crafts type of supplies, including glue and glitter. Taiwan is biting her lip in concentration as she threads a needle and selects another crane from the pile directly in front of her. Behind her, draped over the back of a chair, are a few long already-completed strings of cranes, separated in between by beads.]

[Japan's situated rather close by, having just added to that collection of strings of cranes. Though, he seems to be nitpicking it, pulling it closer carefully to squint at one of the cranes.] It truly is amazing that they have stayed in such a condition, but even so... [There were errors.]

That's because you did such a good job taking care of them! [Taiwan ties off a knot and smiles happily up at him.] And it's better if they don't all look exactly right, it reminds you how hard you worked on them!

[There's a fond sort of look in Japan's eyes as he slowly lets the string fall back over the chair.] Ah, that is true. [And after that old man moment, he's looking back to the table, seeing where he can help next.]

You know, you still haven't told me where we're supposed to put it when we're finished... [Pauses in the midst of biting short a piece of thread as she considers the conundrum] It has to be in a place where it won't get ruined, and people will be able to see it...

Ah... [He looks a little troubled by this thought, frowning and trying to focus.] The school, perhaps...? Though people do not go there quite so often. I wonder if the lobby would do...

Is it safe there? But.. [Just...thinking about this very seriously while she strings up more beads] Then they can make a special trip! And we should tell everyone about it too, right? Not everyone knows about the story...

Yes, that would be for the best. [He nods to himself at this.] Surely this will help brighten things.

I wonder when we can do it- [Suddenly looks up and at her communicator] Ah!? Did you know this was on the entire time-?

[And his face falls into sort of line faced disappointment. Why is he naive enough to have believed it was something nice...]

That sort of thing is not so great.

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

Yeah? How do you know?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I used to become excited or even happy at birthdays, but these days they seem simply like another day. My blood pressure is quite high so I end up waking far too early and wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood, and I always have pains in my hips...

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

What the hell? That's just you being an old guy.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

T-that is part of being immortal, you realize!

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

The immortal wouldn't get old.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...They would not appear old, at least. I am told I look younger than I am... [No really Japan who would ever tell you that pshaw]

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

Feeling old might even be worse.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

I do not believe that sort of thing can be avoided. Time cannot be avoided, even in immortality...

Even China-san, who attempts to feel young, is quite aged. It seems as though the slightest touch will hurt his back...

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

I don't think you guys have the type of immortality I want, then.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[B|..........]

I see. I am not sure if any other type exists, but I suppose Greed-san can continue to dream...

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

Of course there are. And I've already had a taste of it.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

[Japan actually knows this (that other types exist) but frowns at that]

Is that so?

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

Of course. I've already don't age or get sick or anything like that, I just have to figure out how not to die.

I don't have enough lives.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

What a shallow wish...

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

...I thought that much was clear. [Aka he's going to be vague and not blunt in insults. Sort of.]

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

It wasn't.

[asideglance.livejournal.com]

Ah... My sincerest apologies. [Japan you ass, clarify or something sob]

[alittlegreedy.livejournal.com]

... Sure.

But whatever. Dunno why I'm ticked at that, I am greed after all. That stuff doesn't matter.
