FOUR ⌘ Yotsuba and Valentine's Day [Action]

[rollypolyclover]

[Yotsuba is out on the town today! And she's wearing a fancy little outfit, because hey, you have to get dressed up for Valentine's don't you? Today, Yotsuba is Flower Cupid!

First stop of the day is the flower shop where Yotsuba will be taking ridiculous amounts of flowers and putting them in the little wicker basket she's carrying around with her. She's not sure what most of these flowers are, but she does recognise some tulips in here, plus a bunch of different coloured roses.

Her next plan of action is to hand out flowers to anyone she comes across! She'll be staying in the plaza mostly, seeing as she doesn't want to wander off and get lost, but she might feel adventurous and make it to one of the bridges before running back to the plaza again.

If she can't find anyone to give flowers to? Well then, she'll just have to shove them under doorways and whatever other ideas she can think up to get rid of them. A flower cupid might be knocking on your door today so you better answer!

Finally, the Brigade HQ will have a nice bundle of flowers left for whoever finds them there first. She daren't go inside or anything, so instead Yotsuba leaves a bunch just outside the door to be found. It might be a late apology, but she's sorry she messed everything up even though it was all Naoi's fault and oh wow Naoi is really mean.

For the duration of the day, Yotsuba will be singing a little song she made up just recently as she hands out flowers:]

The tulips are in bloom~♪ The tulips are in bloom~♫ [...] Wait, no they're not~♪ That was a lie~♫ The tulips aren't in bloom~♪ They're really not in bloom~♫

[Run into her wherever you like and accept your flowers Luceti! Whether you're forever alone or in a couple come and say hello.]

Comments

[unseenspy]

Well, perhaps you should keep an eye out for anything he possesses that he seems to like.

[At least the description of his ability is clear enough for Jay to understand.]

Ah, that sounds like hypnosis. That's certainly a useful thing to know.

[At least he knows what to watch out for now.]

[rollypolyclover]

Should Yotsuba watch him... And then wreck the stuff he likes?

[Oh yes, she could probably manage that.]

What's hipnoses?

[unseenspy]

That's one way to do it. Just make sure it's accidental, so they can't blame you too much.

Hypnosis...is where someone alters your consciousness, and makes you behave the way they want.

[rollypolyclover]

Like an accident, so Yotsuba gets no blame and no one gets angry. That's cool.

[Now she has to start scheming in that little mind of hers...

Consciousness is a big words. This face. You can almost sense the magic floating question mark above her head.]

[unseenspy]

Yes. You can always tell him that you're sorry, and you didn't mean for it to happen. It just happened, after all.

[Even if the apology isn't actually genuine.]

[Yeah, consciousness would be difficult to explain to a five-year-old, so Jay's gonna leave it at that.]

[rollypolyclover]

[Ew apologising to Naoi.] Okay, Yotsuba will do it then, because it just happened and Yotsuba didn't mean to wreck everything he likes on purpose.

[And that makes it all okaaay~]

[unseenspy]

Exactly. You're a smart one.

[And Jay likes smart people, and he hates stupid people.]

And when I learn more about "Nowy," I'll be able to think of even more ideas.

[rollypolyclover]

[Someone called her smart?! What's going on. Ah well, praise is praise.]

Thank you, thank you! Very smart!

[Listening to and doing what people tell you makes you smart? Sounds like a life lesson.]

What other ideas could you have? Good ideas? ...Bad ideas?

[unseenspy]

[Listening to Jay makes you smart, anyway.]

Well, that depends on what I learn when I meet "Nowy." Perhaps I can find out what he's afraid of, and we can use that to our advantage as well.

[rollypolyclover]

[Clearly she should listen to Jay more often.]

Nowy can't be afraid of anything, he's really scary! Unless he's afraid of himself because he's really scary!!

[unseenspy]

Oh, but everyone is afraid of something. Even the scary people.

Does he like cicadas?

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba loves cicadas! Bweee! Bweeeee!! [But this isn't about her.] Don't know! Yotsuba has never talked to Nowy about cicadas. Yotsuba doesn't talk to Nowy ever! [If she can help it anyway.]

[unseenspy]

Hmm...

[This might call for a change in strategy.]

Perhaps you should try talking to him more often. Does he always pull your hair, or only when he's angry?

[rollypolyclover]

...Do I have to? [Because she reaaaally doesn't want to.] Whenever Yotsuba talks to him he always get angry and pulls Yotsuba hair, or chases Yotsuba and knocks over chairs and wrecks everything!

[Her very existence and Otonashi liking her/putting up with her is sort of a trigger to him.]

[unseenspy]

So he only pulls your hair when he gets angry?

What is it that makes him angry?

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba. [Yup.]

[unseenspy]

[That didn't help...]

Really? You don't do anything or say anything to make him angry?

[rollypolyclover]

When Yotsuba says stuff he gets angry. [Seriously just her speaking tends to tick him off.

Or rather everything she says just so happens to tick him off because she's never said anything nice about him or anything.]

[unseenspy]

Hmm...it looks like I would have to meet him in order to get a better idea.

The next time you see him, could you tell him that I'd like to meet him?

[That shouldn't make him angry, right?]

[rollypolyclover]

'Kay, if Yotsuba sees Nowy then Yotsuba will say 'Jay thinks bandits are stupid and he wants to meet you'.

[It might do. Hopefully not! Fingers crossed~]

[unseenspy]

You don't have to mention the bandits...

[Bandits have nothing to do with this. Unless...]

Or is "Nowy" a bandit, too?

[rollypolyclover]

Uhm... Don't know. Are bandits mean? If bandits are mean then Nowy could be a bandit.

[unseenspy]

They can be mean sometimes. They just play dirty more than anything else.

Does "Nowy" like to steal money and treasures from people?

[rollypolyclover]

[Oh gosh she really has no idea, he might steal things?!]

Maaaybe... [...] Yes, he does.

[unseenspy]

Hmm...then he just might be a bandit.

[Maybe...]
