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!]

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!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

I will, I promise to do my best! Yotsuba wants him to be proud, really proud, so I won't do any bad stuff on purpose some of the time!!

[...well at least she said some of the time.] ...Hey! Who are you anyway?!

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

All of the time, not just some of it! [He has no problem correcting a little girl. Of course, he's equally enthusiastic about introducing himself to her.] And I'm Elliot! Elliot Nightray. Don't forget it!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Don't forget it? Will something bad happen if Yotsuba does?!

[Quickly repeating he name over and over to herself in her mind. Can't forget, bad stuff might happen. Can't forget, bad stuff might happen...]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Of course! If you forget and something bad happens, I won't be able to help you. That's even worse!

[Yes, Elliot, this is exactly how you talk to a child.]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Even worse?! Gyaaaaaaaa!! Gyaaaaaaaa!!

[With a sudden burst of energy she takes off running. Where she's running too? Who knows. But even worse scary things might happen if she sticks around!]

Elliot! Elliot! Elliot Nightway!! Elliot! [On the plus side she's nearly got that name down.]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[When she starts screaming, Elliot just stares, and he will keep staring even as she runs off.

What the hell just happened?]
