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.

Yotsuba can't wait, I really like singing! Your last song was a smash hit, top of the charts!

I like singing as well, lass! And McCoy's life, well...stuff of ballads, that.

Can you tell Yotsuba a story about McCoy? Make sure it includes penguins, Yotsuba likes penguins. Oh, and the moon, since we're all going to the moon!

What, you mean the time he challenged the mightiest of Space Penguins, Flappy Waterwinger, to a skating race? THAT story?

Yeah, that one!! That one sounds like the best story ever, you should tell it right now! Yotsuba wants to hear about the Space Flappy! [...] And do funny voices for everyone.

McCoy, savvy? He were testing out his newest flashfire superfast propelling unit. And Space Flappy, well, she wanted to bite him, as space penguins do.

Space penguins sound really scary. [Just as well the normal kind are cute and much less bite-y.] What's a flashfire superfast propelling thing? ... Does it go superfast?

Faster, darling, than the speed of speed. Or. Aye, FAST! McCoy LOVED goin' fast. Fast and furious! His dream was to be able to dart in quickly with his hypowhatsit and send everyone and anyone straight to oblivion before they could react accordingly!

Whoaaaah... Fasterer than the speed of speed must be really fast.

[Even though she's understanding very little of this the words Jack is using sound really cool. Like hypowhatsit.]

What's oblivion? Did everyone and anyone like going there?

No one. No one. Likes oblivion, child. Make sure you never get sent there. It's a boring place, filled with oatmeal and oatmealworms and one generally has no idea of who he himself is or why he is EATING the infested oats, really.

So, no. No one likes oblivion.

Oblivion sounds bad! Yotsuba won't go there and eat the oatmealworms and won't be bored! It's not fun being bored, it's the opposite of fun!!

Does no one like oatmeal too?! It must be really bad if there's lots of oatmeal in oblivion!

I've heard that No One enjoys oatmeal. Everyone else loves it, though.

[Wait no, now she's very confused.]

No one and everyone.

[She's trying to wrap her mind around it, really, she's trying her best here.]

.... Gyaaah?!

Oh, lassie. Your brain is coming undone I fear.

Nap time.

Nap time?! Not tired, space! Oblivioooon! Is there no more story?!

Not certain you can handle what happens next in the story: when McCoy's brave daughter, Joanna, rescues him from the Penguin Tower....

Penguin Tower?! A whole tower of penguins?! Wow!! Don't stop now, keep going! Please, please please, pleaaase!! Tell Yotsuba about towers of penguins and Joanna!

Penguins, you see, lass -- they can balance. If you set one atop the other just right? There's no knocking them over. Not even with the biggest cannon ever.

McCoy were trapped deep within the black-and-white fortress. Deep, deep within its fishy and feathery interior places.

[Out of all the penguin videos she had ever watched back home none of them covered penguins balancing on top of each other. She's learning a lot today.]

Feathers? Penguins have feathers? But they're not fluffy like owls. Or scary.

Have you ever seen a pile of them that's over a thousand feet high? Hmm? Scary.

Taller than Yotsuba. [...] Too tall, scary!! That's scary Captain Jack!!

So. Scary. And all smelling of fish! That's what they smell like, you know. Fish and droppings.

They smell really bad, fishy smell! They smell like Nowy?! Yotsuba didn't know!!

[Those videos made penguins out to be the most adorable things too. Oh well, they must've been wrong.]

Nevermind all the pecking. The incessant pecking and peeping almost make the smell seem fresh and happy.

Pecking too?! Gyaaaaah!! Penguins are a menace to society, times are really rough!!
