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?]

...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?]

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

[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~♩

[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.]

[ 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?

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's lots of fun you know? Yotsuba played it once with Pao-lin and Yotsuba went down a snake, that was scary!

[Kicking her legs back and forth as they head out. When running doesn't cut it, piggy back rides are the best method of transportation.]

Hahaha! What's a metafor?
herotypical: [ happy ; snarky ; sly ] (✝ put it down to circumstance)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-20 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
A metaphor? [ oh boy. ] It's a thing. A thing that isn't a thing but is KINDA like a thing. Get it?

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
A thing... That isn't a thing... But is kinda a thing... But isn't a thing, that's a thing.

[What an odd concept.]

Like air? That's a thing but not a thing because it's not really there but it is, right?

[Waving her hand in the air for a moment. See, look at all that air that isn't there because you can't see it!]
herotypical: [ snarky ] (✝ planting trees)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-20 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
N-no. Uhm. Try...[ these things normally flow so freely off her tongue! ]

Do you go to school here, Yotsuba? Maybe they teach it at the school. Maybe you should go.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Try... School? Ohhhh, like Ena and Fuuka back home. Yeah, Yotsuba knows school! Been lotsa times, for festivals. And cake.
herotypical: (}  it's all right)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-20 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well? We've got one. Here. Maybe you should think about going. I can put in a few good words for you with the...principal? [ is that what raine is? at least, it's the fairest word buffy has. ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Wooow, you would do that? And Yotsuba would get some good words too. How many?

[School would be pretty cool. She's visited her friend's school enough times to get an interest in going at least.]
herotypical: (✝ it's an sos)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-20 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm? At least two. Maybe four. I'm a personal...[ is friend still the right word? ] acquaintance of one of the head teachers. Getting in will be a cinch.

[ it's...easy anyway. buffy knows this. she's just riding the playful wave. ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Four whole words?! You're so kind Buffy. With your words, Yotsuba will get in really easy like a cinch! A cinch!

[You might be able to guess what's coming...]

What's a cinch?
herotypical: [ snarky ; pout ] (✝ and i could work weekends)

[personal profile] herotypical 2011-12-20 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
A cinch, my dear Yotsuba, is either a really classy belt or an old time torture device.

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, okay! So Yotsuba will get in like an old time classy torture device. I understand.

[No she doesn't.]

Should I wear a classy belt whenever Yotsuba goes to school?
