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?]

[AND THEN AT SOME POINT Otonashi returns to find Yotsuba staring at that mistletoe with a rather dumbfounded expression. (Apparently the adverb form is not a word. Well that's. Dumb.)]

Don't you know what those are, Yotsuba?

[Oh this is what you were checking that word for? Ahaha. Whatever. Silly words~]

Nuh uh. [Shaking her head. What is that thing Otonashi?]
hasnobeats: (Woah.)

[personal profile] hasnobeats 2011-12-11 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shhhhsh.]

So... You've never heard of mistletoe before? [..That's kind of surprising.]

Y-Yes, it's definitely Christmas. Well, it's, it isn't Christmas quite yet, but it's...soon.

Does your father know you're going out, then? [And if your father is here, then why the hell isn't he stopping you running around like a Tazmanian devil?]

No, daddy doesn't know about a bunch a' stuff Yotsuba has done here. He will soon though, don't worry!

[He will soon when he comes here to get her. Yup. It's going to happen.

...But even if he was here she'd still run around all the places.]

[Shaking her head even more. You're asking the girl who didn't even know what an 'imbecile' if she's never heard of mistletoe here.]

No, Yotsuba has never heard of it. Or seen any. Is it important?
consultmybooks: (Hold On)

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-12-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

So he's, um, not here quite yet, then?

["Quite yet" - it's a distinction he can understand.]

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's right! He's not here quiiite yet, but soon. Maybe tomorrow! Maybe two-morrows!

[And once he's here she's going to tell him all about what a good girl she's been!]

Perhaps. Or perhaps he'll be here in January. We should be getting a lot of new people arriving in January.

[But it's not like he needs to tell you to cheer up, Yotsuba.]

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, or Jan-you-ary! Even when it starts getting warm and everyone leaves for summer vacation. But that's not very soon at all...

[Hm. Okay, maybe he won't come that late. He's has to come before summer!]

Do lots of people always show up then? ...Yotsuba showed up before then!
consultmybooks: (Interesting Ideas)

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2011-12-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Lots of people show up every couple of months. It's nothing to do with January specifically. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, so it runs on a schedule. Schedules are important, it's good to know when you're meant to do stuff, otherwise you might forget!

[This reminds her:] I haven't made a schedule here yet. Yotsuba should ask for one for Christmas!
hasnobeats: (Well I guess I could do it.)

[Yes but... they're mistletoe!]

Well, not really but... During the holiday season they are, I guess. Basically though, they say that if two people are standing under one, they have to kiss. [..He thinks it's a little silly.]

[Action]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[...And your point is?]

How does that work? [The whole 'having to kiss' thing. Dot his mistletoe make you do that?

Running over to stand underneath the mistletoe... And then turning back to look at Otonashi. Yeah, she doesn't get it.]

[ so she has yet to meet you in person, little yotsuba -- but the slayer is currently IN the item shop. picking through potential christmas gifts. mayhaps you might recognize her from the little journal picture? or maybe you might just wonder why such a teeny tiny blonde is also walking around with a crossbow strapped to her back.

either way -- she must eventually apologize for her pirate-lover's cruel brush off. ]

[Meanwhile, the pirate who cruelly brushed you off is walking alongside Murphy, an immensely shaggy Shetland pony.

He WAS going to go into the Item Shop to find some skates, but stops when he sees the little girl outside. Well, WONDERFUL.

Probably he should just keep walking.

But he DOES need the skates. Jack stands there, indecisive, with Murphy growing increasingly impatient at his side.]

[Oh, it's fluffy Buffy! Hiya fluffy Buffy, she does recognise her from the journal picture. The mistletoe can wait, right now she's running off at full speed towards her!]

[ action ]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[--But wait, what is that thing on her back? ...Yeah she's never seen a crossbow before. And it looks... Pretty strange. What is that for?

...

Is Buffy really a robot or something and that's some sort of mechanism on her back that makes her run?!]

[Still staring up at the mistletoe. Oh little sprig of green leaves, you are a mystery.

Wait, is that a pony?! Oh wow, she hasn't seen a pony since she last visited the ranch! Must... Pet the pony...

Have a little five year old heading over toward you Jack. You... Probably should have kept walking.]


Pony!! Whoah, really long haired pony!

Murphy. [Jack finally manages that, at least. Small child APPROACHING. He shifts uncomfortably as that familiar unsettled feeling in his stomach strikes.] He's....a highly fierce pony. Be careful.

[Murphy, who is not in the least bit fierce, eyes Yotsuba. Carrot? Apple? Anything?]

[action]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Is that his name? Hi Murphy, you're a hairy pony. Did you know that?

[Providing Murphy is alright with it, Yotsuba will pet him and stroke and play with his ears and this is a pony aaah! Apparently saying he's fierce has done nothing to phase her.]

Yotsuba should feed him something! [It's what they did with the animals on the ranch after all.] What do ponies like again?
all7seas: (tore it all apart)

[action]

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-12-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[From beneath all that mane, Murphy gives the little girl a look that quite plainly states PONIES LIKE EVERYTHING. He sidles up to her. He is quite happy to be petted. Murphy is a pettable pony.

Jack, on the other hand, is wrapping his coat tightly around himself and crossing his arms and BAH HUMBUG.]


Dunno. He likes...carrots. Sugary treats. Apples.

[action]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow Jack, you need to cheer up a little. Feel that Christmas spirit!]

Sugary stuff... Like a candy cane, right? Would that work? It's like candy, all full of sugar. Daddy says I'm not allowed to much candy. [And lo and behold, Yotsuba rummages in her coat and pulls out a little red-and-white striped candy cane.] Yotsuba knows how to do this part!

[Keeping her hand flat and placing the candy cane on top.] Eat up Murphy! Yummy!
all7seas: (a dishonest man)

[personal profile] all7seas 2011-12-12 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
What---No! Don't--!

[Too late, Jack! Every inch a gentleman---a snuffly fuzzy gentleman with tickly whiskers on his chin---Murphy claims the candycane and makes it disappear.]

Where IS your father! Tell him he should collect you!

[action]

[identity profile] rollypolyclover.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No? [Whoops. Too late. Bye candy cane.] But you said sugary stuff!

[Where is her father, nice question. She has no idea. Not here is the best she knows, because she hardly knows how this whole luceti/malnosso/blah blah blah thing even works.]

Daddy isn't here right now. Did Yotsuba do something bad?
