ONE ⌘ Yotsuba and Arriving [Action]

[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!]

[Now she knows he's a good dog, Yotsuba is totally ready for kisses this time! ...Though she does end up falling over and rolling about a little.]

Wet! Really wet! And it tickles too!

Oh, boy! Are you here to stay, new friend Yotsuba? I love when new friends come to Luseti!

[And now it is time for some renewed sniffing.]

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, a new friend who will stay forever and ever-- [Except wait what's a Luceti? And it seems it's only just dawned on her she doesn't usually sleep in a box either.] Where am I?! That is not Yotsuba's bed! ...Daddy!?

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Dug titles his head, and his tail wagging slows.] Are you lost? A lot of people get lost here, of yes. But I am a very smart dog so I can help you find your daddy!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Can you?! Ohhhhhh!! That would be great! [Trying to mimic her dad's voice now, speaking low and deep.] Daddy sounds like this. He's also taller than Yotsuba. He has a head. [...That last detail? Very important.]

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Dug takes careful note of all of this. Okay. Deep voice. Taller. Has a head. He doesn't remember if he's ever seen a person without a head, but it is still an important detail to keep in mind, obviously.]

What does he smell like? My nose is very smart!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
He smells like ice cream. And work! Daddy does lots of work. Yotsuba smells like daddy too.

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Work, ice cream...okay, he can work with this. He sniffs the air.]

I will sniff around, and you can follow me, okay? Then we will find the daddy!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! Yotsuba will follow you really close, like an elephant following another elephant.

[And so she grabs a hold of Dug's tail...

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He jumps a bit--you be careful with that tail, missy. But once he's sure she's not going to yank it off, he starts trotting ahead, leading on with his nose.

...Hmm. He's not smelling anything yet...]

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, there will be no yanking here. Maybe a little stroking and shaking it a little, because wow it's a dog's tail. But other than that she's being very gentle!

Trotting along behind Dug and watching his every move.]
Can Yotsuba look for daddy like that too?

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I am not sure. Do humans have smart noses? I know dogs have smart noses. My nose can remember smells even when I have not smelled them for a long time, and they can find smells that are far away! Can your nose do that?

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno if my nose is smart or not.

[How do you find out these sorts of things? It can smell, is there more to it than that?!]

Yotsuba can smell nice things if they're downstairs and Yotsuba is upstairs! Is that far?

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He considers this carefully with his wise doggie knowledge.]

Oh yes! That is a smart nose. When you can smell things that you cannot see!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh Dug, why you so smart?]

Then Yotsuba has a smart nose. When daddy makes coffee, Yotsuba can smell it from the other room. [Oh. She thought up a rhyme.] My nose knows! [WASN'T THAT AMAZING?]

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-17 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's such a genius! Really!]

Oh, that is a very good rhyme! My nose knows. My nose knows, too! It nose where to find people!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-18 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He is! Yotsuba would believe it.

Giggling at the use of the rhyme, it's just that funny.]
Hahaha! You're a funny dog Dug! Has your nose found daddy yet?

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-18 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He's so punny, too. Ohohoho.]

I am glad you think I am funny! [So few seem to appreciate his very refined sense of humor.] But I have not smelled your daddy yet.

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-18 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dohohoho~]

Very funny, very funny! [Some people just don't understand the beauty of squirrel jokes it seems.] Oh. Keep trying! Then when we find daddy, you can meet him!

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-18 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes! I would like to meet your daddy very much. Is he as funny as you are, Yotsuba?

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm this needs some thought.] ...We're about the same. He puts boxers on his head and dances around! Boxermaaan!!

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-19 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[...SUDDENLY HORRIFIED.]

You put dogs on your head? Oh, please do not put me on your head, Yotsuba!

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[OH RIGHT boxers are dogs. Haaah. Yeah, she had no idea.]

Why would I put you on my head? You're too big! Too big!! Boxers fit on daddy's head very easily. That's why he's Boxerman!

action;

[identity profile] followthatbird.livejournal.com 2011-11-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[...Wow, her dad must have a huge head to support a dog...]

Oh, he must be very strong. What does a Boxerman do?

action;

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-11-22 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Daddy is the strongest! Oh, Jumbo is probably stronger. Yotsuba will say daddy is the strongest though so he doesn't get upset!

[GOOD QUESTION.]

He does the Boxerman dance, like this! [And now she starts dancing like a madman...]
