rollypolyclover | SIX ⌘ Yotsuba and Buried Treasure [Action]

[Sometime in the afternoon, Yotsuba sees this message pop up in her journal. Rumours of buried treasure?! No way, she had totally been left out of the loop, what rumours?! There are probably hundreds, no, thousands of people already out looking for the treasure by now... She'll have to be quick and find it before anyone else! That treasure will be hers!!

First off she heads to the fountain and from there her treasure hunt begins! Yotsuba has her journal with her as she walks around all over the place trying to find the next hint to where the treasure is buried. There's the odd occasion where she's concentrating so hard on her journal that she ends up bumping into walls and maybe even people, but that doesn't deter her for long! Feel free to run into her at any of these locations: the fountain, playground, bakery, item shop, clinic, cherry blossom hill, library and finally around house 16. Yes, she's going to be all over the place today.

If you don't feel like engaging this five year old in her treasure hunting shenanigans that's fine. Yotsuba might just come to you first, waving her latest hint around and trying to get your attention.]

Hey, heeey! Do you see this? I need help, there's buried treasure out there and Yotsuba is going to find it!

[If you help her out there might be some candy and plastic coins in it for you in future. Maybe, if she decides to share.]

It's easy to find treasure at home?! Gotta look under the bed for all the buried treasure! Chaaaarge!!

[Can you feel the deep emotion and passion from that charge!? Can you?!

She bolts off in the direction of her house! Only then she changes her mind mid-sprint and veers off towards the plaza to go for the shops. Then she remembers they're checking everywhere and she ends up running back and forth in all sorts of directions looking literally everywhere.]

The treasure isn't under the tree! The treasure isn't by the pebble, but Yotsuba took the pebble anyway!

[Oh, she can feel the deep emotion and passion just fine, it's catching it that's the hard part. Or, at least, the one to whom it belongs to. Norma laughs as she follows Yotsuba with her eyes as the little girl zips about every which way. This is way too cute to watch...it's almost painfully so. When Yotsuba finally slows down, Norma approaches her and tilts her head to one side.]

Your first piece of treasure! Make you hold onto that, it's extra special! Buuut, I don't think we're gonna find much stuff from home around here. Remember, the clue said we gotta look for a place like that. So let's check the shops and stuff first, then if we don't find anything, we can go to some other places - like your house and stuff.

First piece of treasure, Yotsuba found it! [PEBBLE GET.] Yotsuba will never ever let it go, it's the best pebble around. All the other pebbles will never be as good as this one.

Let's go shopping and pick up some treasure! Come on Norma! Going to the shops~♫ Treasure is hiding somewhere~♫ Maybe there will be ice cream~♫ Someone should get some ice cream~♫

Never ever as good as yours, Munchkin. Everyone's gonna be jealous...moreso when we find more treasure. [Which better be good, so Norma can teach her tiny friend about the wonders of sharing. Either way, Norma moves when she's told and walks steadily alongside her youthful charge. Man, that energy is contagious. So is the song.]

Going to the shops~ Treasure is hiding somewhere~ Hopefully we get there soon~ [So no one takes it.]

Hopefully someone will get ice cream~♫ Hopefully someone will get ice cream~♫ Hopefully someone will get ice cream~♫

[Oh no, this isn't a hint or anything, the song really does have three lines with the exact same lyrics.]

But curry is okay too~♫ Someone should get curry~♫

[Really. This song is totally legit.]

The treasure will be curry and ice cream, and it will be yummy~♫!

[Pfft, don't worry, kiddo, Norma gets the hint. She grins and extends a hand for Yotsuba to take, so they can skip and swing their arms while singing together. Honestly, if the treasure is ice cream, Norma wouldn't mind that too much, even if it isn't riches.

Curry sounds good, too...]

Man, you're making me hungry. Tell you what, after we find this treasure, we can go to the restaurant and get a bite to eat! Curry and ice cream for dessert, how does that sound?
