FIVE ⌘ Yotsuba and Running Away [Written?|Action]

[rollypolyclover]

[Otonashi left yesterday. That meant that now Yotsuba was stuck in a house with that loser Naoi. The fact he was really kind a little while back at the beach but now he's really mean again is more than a little confusing to the girl. Yuri is still here but right now all Yotsuba is thinking of is the bad stuff. Namely no more Otonashi and lots more stupid, mean Naoi.

What she does next seems like a brilliant idea! This will totally bring Otonashi back and make Naoi be nice again, and if it doesn't then oh well at least she's not living in the same house as him anymore.

This badly scrawled message appears on the journals:]



[Now then! If she's running away she needs lots of important things. For one her pink fluffy coat that Jack gave her to keep warm, a ton of food from the fridge, the viking helmet and fishing pole thing that Hiccup got her, the cicada plushie Otonashi left for her...

It isn't until she tries leaving the house with all her belongings that she realises this is a bad idea. So instead she settles on the coat and the plushie. Sacrifices have to be made if you're running away! Sadly these sacrifices also include her journal so she won't be replying to her little goodbye message.

Morning
This is a great idea! Running away from home is the best thing she's ever decided to do! Otonashi will be trying to find his way back now and Naoi is probably feeling really bad about pulling her hair and telling her to shut up all the time. Yuri is probably shouting at him for it too! Haha, yes, running away has solved everything! Yotsuba happily marches around the village with a big smile on her face, more than a little proud at how she thinks her plan is going.

Midday
Hungry... Why didn't she bring some food with her? Maybe she'll wander on over to Seventh Heaven and see if she can get some food from there, they make awesome pancakes after all. Or maybe the bakery! Or she could settle for staring at passers-by with big, open eyes until they give her something to eat. Screw taking candy from strangers she's hungry!!

Afternoon
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. Now she's getting cold. And hungry again. And Otonashi hasn't come back and found her yet... She wants to go home. The problem is Yotsuba has wandered so far away from home by this point that she's in a part of the village she doesn't even recognise. Now she's lost, cold, hungry and really upset. How is she going to get home now?]

Waaaaaaaah!! Yotsuba wants to go home!! Wanna go hooome!!

It starts off, uhm...'the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout...'

[rollypolyclover]

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout~♫ Yotsuba hopes he doesn't fall down, he must be really high up!

[herotypical]

And h-hey. Here. This is what you do during that first line, okay?

[ and she performs the first line of hand movements. ]

[rollypolyclover]

[It takes her a moment to get the whole keeping your finger and thumb touching as you turn your hand, but she gets there in the end. That spider is climbing up the spout like a professional now!]

The itsy bitsy spiiider... [/hand turn] Climbed up the water spout. [/and again

Looking up at Buffy. Is she doing it right?]

[herotypical]

...Perfect.

[ buffy mimes the next bit: falling fingerfuls of rain and a deluge. her voice maybe has taken on a slightly melodic tone. almost-singing. ] Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

[rollypolyclover]

Down came the rain! [Aaaall the way down to her toes in fact.] And washed the spider out! [Popping back up and flinging her arms out, bye bye spider.

...She's noticing that near-singing by the way. Take it Buffy!]

[herotypical]

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain!

[ she mimes a sun. ]

[rollypolyclover]

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain!

[Putting a hand on her forehead to shield her eyes from the 'sun' whilst following the actions with her other.]

[herotypical]

[ oh, now she's full on belting the tune: ] And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah!! [And a big round of applause for the slayer who said she can't sing well, courtesy of one five year old.]

Again, again, woohoo!!

[herotypical]

A-again? Really?

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah! Why, don'tcha want to do it again? We can do it later instead, save the spider stuff for later! [...] Yotsuba is hungry again, do something about it! Please.

[herotypical]

...Again? Didn't you eat breakfast?

[rollypolyclover]

Ate muffins and uhm... Muffins. [That's a no.] Isn't it lunch time yet?

[herotypical]

...Do you want it to be?

[rollypolyclover]

Yes! The schedule says it's now lunch time, time for lunch!

[herotypical]

Alright, alright. We'll go get the curry stuff AND snack stuff and then we'll go back to my place and mix'em all together. Only not really. That'd probably be super gross.

[ she reaches, yet again, for yotsuba's hand. ]

[rollypolyclover]

Super gross, who would eat that?! [...] Yotsuba would eat that!!

[Holding hands again! Except this time Yotsuba will twirl around and dance like a ballerina as they walk.]

[herotypical]

[ and maybe at some point amongst all this dancing, buffy will catch the girl's other hand and lift her with sudden ease -- giving her a brief little spin before setting her on the ground again. ]

Is there anything you don't like to eat?

[rollypolyclover]

[Whee you spin me right round~]

Nope, everything is yummy! [...] Except bad stuff. Alcohol, don't have a draft drink some banana juice!

[herotypical]

...Y-yeah. Alcohol's pretty much the devil. Don't tell me someone's been giving you any...?

[rollypolyclover]

[Nope she's never drank the stuff-- ...Hm. Well there was that one time with the pony and Jack and everything.]

Is rum alcohol?

[herotypical]

...If Jack gave you booze, I'm gonna cut off his beard-tails. For real this time.

[rollypolyclover]

Captain Jack gave Yotsuba rum to give to Murphy, he was really thirsty! But Yotsuba dropped the rum and it went everywhere so Murphy drank it all...

[But she didn't drink any! Murphy was kind enough to do enough of that for both of them.]

[herotypical]

He's a rapscallion. The rappest of scallions.
