TWO ⌘ Yotsuba and Christmas [Video|Action]

Video

[This would be Yotsuba's first real Christmas. Back home they never had the chance to celebrate in their new home before she was taken here. It was all so exciting, seeing all the bright lights and the snow.

The journal opens to show a small figure practically glued to the window of her apartment, staring out into the snow and lights. It really is beautiful you know, especially when it's your first time seeing anything like this.

Yotsuba turns to her journal and gives it a big wave and a huge smile before running over, picking the journal up and returning to the window. Anyone watching will now have a nice view from room 26 of building 5 of the surrounding area from the window. She's really excited you guys.]


It's so pretty! Look, look, do you see all the lights?! Christmas! This is definitely Christmas isn't it?!

[It's a shame Daddy isn't here to spend it with her... It had taken awhile, but she's used to Daddy not being here with her now. After all, he's going to appear someday and take her away and be all sorts of proud of her for being a big, brave girl whilst she was here.]

Gonna have lots of fun! Daddy, will you be having fun too? Don't eat too much, you'll get fat. Work hard! Don't break anything!!

[After reminding her father or what to do and not to do, she'll go back to staring out the window and will remain this way for a long time.]

Action

[Otonashi had asked Yotsuba if she wanted to go out for a little while as he did a few Christmas-related errands, and of course she jumped at the opportunity!

Whilst Otonashi was busy, Yotsuba went off to explore. All this snow is fun, all these lights are fun, all this everything is fun!! Do you understand how much fun this is?! It's very fun!

During her explorations, Yotsuba finds herself outside the item shop, looking up at the door frame. Seems as though there's some mistletoe hanging there.

...

What is it? Why is it there? Can she eat it?]

...Something green.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey. Her hair is green. Huh.

Rolling over onto to her back and staring straight in Buffy's direction. Her mouth twitches into a smile every now and then, she can't help it.]


...Is it me?
herotypical: [ happy ; neutral ] (✝ where the lights are)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
...Clever girl.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
You found me, no way! Ahahaha!! Yotsuba was really good at hiding, right, right? Right!

[And then she just breaks down into a fit of giggling and rolling about on the floor.]

That was fun!! Yotsuba had you for a moment there, I could tell. You didn't know where I was, so Yotsuba was keeping extra quiet you know!
herotypical: (✝ and it's contagious)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmhm. You very-nearly-almost-kinda-won. Be proud. Strut your stuff.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Be proud? Oh okay. Scrambling to her feet, taking a deep breath and puffing her chest out. This is her proud look.]

But you know, now you need to go and hide and stuff. We're playing hide and seek, special missiletoe edition!
herotypical: (✝ i know i'm alone now)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ special. mistletoe. edition. ]

What? Just in the store? That's all fine and dandy for a shrimp like you but I'm tall. We might need a bigger boat.

[ and by boat she means PLACE. do ignore the jaws quote. or don't. have fun. ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[What's a Jaws quote? Can she ignore it completely and take what was said literally? She can? Excellent.]

Yotsuba didn't know we were on a boat. Isn't this a shop? [...] Welcome aboard! Yotsuba can be the captain, Buffy can be the captain's best friend. Let's sail the five seas!
herotypical: [ happy ] (✝ new ones are slave labour you keep)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Captain's best friend? [ guh. her heart strings. ] Pretty sure that's called being the First Mate. I'm one already, y'know. A mate. Firstly. Of a boat right here in Luceti -- w-well, outside of Luceti. At the beach...

[ and then an awful idea strikes the slayer. an awful, awful idea. ] And I think there are seven. Seven seas. That's what I've been told.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I meant, First Mate. Yotsuba doesn't know many boat words yet! ... [One moment, she's getting her math on.] So if you're Yotsuba's First Mate, and you're already a First Mate, that makes you a Second Mate!

[Tilting her head slightly.] Ohhhh, seven seas. That's a lot of seas. Can we sail them all?
herotypical: (} though our parts are slightly used)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, Yotsuba. It's a very sad thing that we only have a portion of an ocean in the barrier. But... [ hmm. she crouches once again and reaches for the girl's hand. ]

Would you like to see them? The boats? All the finished boats, including the very nicest boat of all?

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The ocean is fun, and the beach! We should go and play there sometime!

[The chance to see a real boat? Of course she wants to go and see them all! Yotsuba grabs Buffy's hand in both of her own and starts to shake it.]

Yeah, Yotsuba wants to see all the boats! The nicest boat of all!! Can we, can we really see them?
herotypical: [ snarky ] (✝ planting trees)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a little too chilly out to play at the beach -- and it's gonna be that way for a while. But...we could go. Nowish. To see the JJ. She's the boat I'm the First Mate of, you see.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The boat's a she? Will JJ mind if we come and see her right now? Oh, if you're her First Mate then she won't mind. We should go nowish! Now!
herotypical: [ happy ; snarky ] (✝ contagious)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Apparently all boats are girls. I don't know. I've yet to figure that one out.

[ oh. the joanna joyce will certainly not mind. jack, though? ah well. what the pirate doesn't know won't hurt him. ] It's a bit of a long walk. Are you up to it?

[ she might have to carry you. ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Our boat should be a boy boat. We can name it Jumbo! [Their boat being the item shop.]

I can take it!! Yotsuba was walked really far before, really far. No sweat! [Despite this--] Piggy back? [:D?]
herotypical: [ snarky ; happy ] (✝ sew a flag on the back)

oi my poor html.

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...Piggy back. [ she concedes and twists around to offer her shoulders to the girl. carrying a five year old will be a CAKEWALK for the slayer. ]

/pat pat, oh cruel html

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taking a few steps back, she needs a run up for this.

Running, running, running-- Jumping! Landing on Buffy's back and scrambling up onto her shoulders!]


Made it, great success!
herotypical: [ neutral ; angry ; snark ] (✝ i'm the hero of the story)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she offers a theatrical oof! before straightening her legs and adjusting yotsuba just slight -- hooking her arms around the girl's legs. ]

All secure?

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
All secure, ready to go! Onwards!!

[Raising one arm into the air and waving her hand around excitedly.]

Going to see the boats~♫ By~♪ The sea~♩
herotypical: [ happy ; snark ; conversation ] (✝ the defenders of the faith we are)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-14 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...And you're gonna be warm enough, right? We might not be able to duck into warm cover once we get there. [ it all depends on whether jack's at cullen house or not. ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! Really warm, see?

[Moving her hands over Buffy's face and rubbing her cheeks a little. Her hands feel pretty warm right now. If she does get cold, don't worry, she'll complain and let you know!]

Boats, boats, boooats~ [Swaying back and forth a little now.]
herotypical: [ snarky ; happy ] (✝ sew a flag on the back)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-15 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ pfft. buffy isn't so used to such a hands-on approach with kids. so she stops and stammers and isn't entirely sure how to cope with this. ] Uh...right. Yes. Very warm. Surprisingly warm. But -- just in case?

[ a fine juggling act ensues and buffy pulls two mittens out of her jacket pocket and hands them back to the girl. ] Put these on.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh! Present?

[Removing her hands from rubbing all over poor Buffy's face so she can try on the mittens. Once her hands are covered up she wriggles her fingers and-- whoah! It's like... Her hands are covered by another hand. Another big, fluffy hand.]

Thank you Buffy, Yotsuba's hands are now warmer! If we were playing snakes and ladders, Yotsuba's warmth would have gone up a ladder.
herotypical: (} you never have to do that stuff)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-19 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...a colourful metaphor.

[ and it was appreciated. she is, herself, a purveyor of colourful metaphors.

and so they headed out of the shop. ]
Is that a game you like? Snakes and ladders?
