rollypolyclover | SEVEN ⌘ Yotsuba and Outer Space [Video]

This is really important okay? It's super serious so you need to listen to me!

[Just in case there's no one listening she smacks the journal a few times to make sure she gets everyones attention. Or she hopes that's what hitting her journal around will do.]

Yotsuba is going into space. [Stay serious. This isn't fun... But oh my gosh space?! She's been star gazing and talked about aliens and Sailor Moon- Will Sailor Moon be there?! GFDKHASGK-- Okay no, no. Serious face. She might have cracked a smile there but she's doing her best to take this as seriously as she can manage.] Space is really big. And really far away!

[She turns away for a moment, only to come back with this thing in her arms.]

Someone needs to take care of him whilst Yotsuba is gone. He likes eating leaves and crackers, and he sleeps a lot but you need to take care of him anyway. He still needs looking after even if he's lazy!

[Yes. She's being sent off into space and one of her top priorities is making sure the stuffed toy Otonashi gave her is kept safe.]

Yuri can't look after him, she's busy! [Or she imagines she will be, SSS stuff and what not.] And Naoi can't do anything! ... Ohhh, is space cold? Yotsuba will bring the fluffy pink coat, it's really warm.

[Yeah, he can see past that pretend stuff.]

...Do you even know how to fight?

[Dang. Guess she needs to work on being less obvious about that. And everything.]

Sailor Cicada does. [Buut then she recalls what Elicia said about leaving that stuff to the adults and becoming damsels. Sob.] But Yotsuba is going to leave the fighting and bad stuff to the grown-ups.

[Sigh. That's a relief to hear.]

That's good to hear. Trying to live your fantasies like that is dangerous.

However, it's never too early to start learning how to fight. The younger you are when you start, the better you'll be when you grow up.

[And Jay's been learning to fight since he was still in diapers. Not by his choice, though.]

Yotsuba can already fight pretty good, Sailor Cicada is the best at fighting bad guys!

[And by fight she means she's en expert at sucker punching people in the gut and charging into them.]

Oh, except for Sailor Moon, she's even better at stopping bad guy than Cicada. Than Cicada and Lion on top of each others shoulders!

[What. Even.]

...And who is Sailor Cicada?

You don't know?! [FOOL.] Get with the programme Jay! Sailor Cicada is a super hero who stops bad guys and fights crime with Sailor Lion!

Is that so? Are they in Luceti? I've never heard of them.

[As embarrassing as it is to admit...]

Yeah, they're in Luceti right now! They're probably out being super cool and keeping everyone safe.

[Huhuhu. Oh Jay. If only you knew.]

That's strange. I didn't see them at the town meeting. There were many people stepping up, trying to become heroes.

[...There was a meeting? UUH. QUICK. THINK OF SOMETHING YOTSUBA.]

Sailor Cicada and Sailor Lion don't need to go to meetings, they're not businessmen! They already know everything anyway!

Not businessmen, hmm? What do they do when they're not fighting?

[OH GOD SHE HAS TO THINK AND TALK AND. THINK. SLOW DOWN WITH THE QUESTIONS JAAAY.]

When they're not fighting they... Have fun playing and eating lots of good food in their secret base. But nobody knows where their secret base is!

I see, that makes sense.

[It sounds a lot like what they do when they're not saving the world.]

So what will you do once we leave for the draft?

[Aw yeah, smooth. And her identity as Sailor Cicada goes unknown for another day... It's not like she goes around telling people she's Sailor Cicada and suddenly she felt like keeping it a secret or anything.]

I dunno. [Yup. Simple as that.] Yotsuba will do what the adults want me to do, because this is serious and Yotsuba doesn't want to be a damsel.

That sounds like a good plan. The adults will probably want you to hide somewhere, away from the battle.

The grown-ups want Yotsuba to bring colouring books and stay really far away from the bad guys. And Yotsuba should run away if there are any bad strangers!

Yes, there will be a lot of bad strangers out there. At least hundreds of them.

I wonder why the Malnosso are even sending children out there...

[Hundreds of bad strangers? Hundreds? Quickly Yotsuba gets to her feet and stares the journal down. Thats one hundred strangers too many.]

At least that many? [Please no.]

That's right. But just do what the adults you know want you to do. Then you'll be fine.

Remember, this is serious.

Y-Yeah, this is serious... This is really serious Jay, way more serious than you could think, you need to get with the programme!!

[Uh-oh, you might have ticked him off there.]

Excuse me? I am very well with the program, thank you very much. I'm going to fight, and you're going to hide with all the other children.

Ohhh that's right! You're actually on the right page even though you sounded that way just now. Yotsuba has found new respect for you!

[Whatever that way is.]

Oh really? And what way is that way?

[New respect? What is she talking about?]

And you should always respect your elders. You know that, right?

That way is-- Jay is an old man?! Ohh, that explains it.

[Who even knows what it explains!]

Have a safe trip on your way to heaven.

[asdfjkdlsajfklds, WHAT??]

I'm not that old! I'm only...

[18 now? And at that moment, it hits him that next month is July, when Chibi-Usa had chosen his birthday. So he'll be 19 next month. Gulp...]

...Now I know how Will feels...
