ONE ⌘ Yotsuba and Arriving [Action]

[rollypolyclover]

[Do you like presents Luceti? If you do, it's your lucky day! If not, tough luck you're getting one anyway.

Should anyone open their front door today they might just be greeted by a great big colourful box all wrapped up with ribbon. Heck, even if you're just walking down some path, minding your own business, you might suddenly find yourself stumbling across this multicoloured gift box. Inside the box are thousands of tiny little packing peanuts. It might be a little excessive, but there's a good reason for there to be so much packaging. Fast asleep on top of the foam packaging is a little girl wearing a nice little New Feather dress. Every now and then she tosses and turns in her sleep, making the box shake a little as she does so.

The girl's journal and clothes are also packed in along with her, further down in the box. Some assembly required, do not swallow the packaging as it's a choking hazard. No batteries required. Enjoy your x1 New Feather starter kit!]

[It takes Elliot a moment to find the words, and needless to say, once he does, he's going to yell them.]

Just... what do you think you're doing?!

[Good morning, Yotsuba-chan!!]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Don't know! Should be sleeping!!

[But you woke her up. See, this is where the problem lies.]

...Going back to sleep now. Good night. Don't wake Yotsuba until we're at Disneyland! [Wait, no, that's not right.] ...Disneyland, or the hot air balloons! Either one is fine. [Slooowly lowering herself back into her box now.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Wait wait wait a minute, little girl.]

You can't go back to sleep in there!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[Whoops. Too late. Have some nice snoring in response to those words of yours Elliot.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Hey!

[He reaches a hand into the box to pull the girl back out.]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[Once she's pulled out, Yotsuba will take a moment to blink her eyes and properly wake up. These sorts of things take time you see.

Once she is sufficiently awake, despite being awake only moments ago:]

...Disneyland?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

I don't know where that is!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Yotsuba doesn't either! Daddy talked about it once though. It sounds nice!

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Well, we're in Luceti, not Disneyland, and it's not nice at all!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Huh? Luceti? [Tilting her head to one side. Daddy never mentioned somewhere called Luceti before.] ...So does that mean we're not going to Disneyland? Are we at least going to see the hot air balloons?

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

No, we aren't! [Hot air balloons could probably be dangerous here...] We can't go to Disneyland because we can't leave here!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Why not? Can't someone just unlock the door so we can. Oh, you lost the key didn't you? [Never mind the fact they're outside.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Key to where? There's no key to get out of here!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Then why are we stuck here then? Daddy will come pick me up and take me home, but that might be hard if I'm stuck here. [What are big magical barriers that are keeping them here to a five year old anyway?]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[...of course, this is when it really occurs to Elliot that this girl is just a kid and he is terrible with kids. M-maybe he should go get Leo.]

I-I don't know why we're stuck here. We just are, so you'll have to wait until we aren't.

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Don't wanna wait! Where's daddy gone?!

[But don't leave yet Elliot, she's get demanding!]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

How the hell should I know?! I don't know who your father is! He's probably not even here!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

...He could be though right?! He has ta' be!!

[Because if he isn't, that means she's all alone with this strange guy who's shouting at her, a-and... All the tears.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[...o-okay, that probably wasn't the best thing to say.]

H-hey, calm down! We can still try to look for him, so you'd better not cry just yet!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[Not just yet, but she's on the verge of screaming and crying and all the other things you can expect from an upset little girl.]

O-Okay... Daddy said if we ever got separated that I'd never see him again though!

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

H-he told you that?!

[Who tells that to their kid?!]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

[He thought it was a good idea at the time. It stopped her running off for starters. Buuut he probably didn't bank on his daughter being taken to another world...]

Yeah! Yotsuba made sure to stick close to daddy all the time after that, but now he isn't here... [Sniff.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[Elliot frowns. She'll probably be sad if she doesn't find her father here, but he shouldn't go around repeating what he'd said before, especially knowing this.]

You'll see him again. You have to. You'll just have to wait.

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Wait? Oh, okay. I can wait. Yotsuba is a very patient person.

[Except she's terrible at waiting. But at least she can last a short time before flipping out about her dad again.]

As long as he shows up after Yotsuba has waited. I'll be real good until he gets back, and he'll be so proud of me!

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Good. You'd better do your best, got it? Don't disappoint him!
