SEVEN ⌘ Yotsuba and Outer Space [Video]

[rollypolyclover]

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.

It'll be the best official letter ever! Yotsuba will even put a sticker on it and fold it up and everything. [An animal sticker. Perhaps one of a cow.] When you send it will the Malnosso get it in their mail box? Getting mail is fun!

[magentarific]

Hopefully. I'll have to figure out how to send it first, but I'll make sure it does.

[rollypolyclover]

Do you really have enough time to play mail man and run the SSS and do all your other stuff too? Yurippe is amazing.

[magentarific]

One day, you'll learn the art of multitasking too Yotsuba.

[rollypolyclover]

Which day will that be? Yotsuba wants to know how to do lots of things at the same time now. [Maybe she can play with her toys whilst she plays with her toys for double the fun.]

[magentarific]

I don't know. You'll know it when you know it.

[rollypolyclover]

[...] Does Yotsuba know it now? [...] I can wait for the day Yotsuba will know about multitasking and talk at the same time, does that count?

[magentarific]

Hm.. [ How to explain this...? ]

If your multitasking was waiting to know about it and talking at the same time, then you wouldn't be waiting to know about it anymore. Because you wouldn't be waiting to know about it anymore, you couldn't be multitasking because you wouldn't be doing it. So it cancels itself out.

[rollypolyclover]

[Wait so she... It's not, but...






What?]

[magentarific]

[ Yeah, Yuri even kind of confused herself with that one. ]

I'm gonna say it doesn't count.

[rollypolyclover]

Oh. [Okay she can get that.] Multitasking is hard. And Yotsuba doesn't get it.

[magentarific]

Like I said, someday. It's one of those things that comes to you without you realizing it.

[rollypolyclover]

Without even realising... Ohhh that's deep. You should write for newspapers.

[magentarific]

I don't have the patience to do something like that.

[rollypolyclover]

Being patient is hard, like when you're waiting for something. Something yummy. Waiting is boring.

[magentarific]

It's a pain.

[ Life lessons, Yotsuba. Don't ever worry about being patient. Just do what you want. ]

[rollypolyclover]

[That completely goes against everything her father taught her about being patient and good things coming to those who wait.

BUT OKAY.]

Yeah, it's a real pain, ouch!! Why do people wait and be patient about stuff? Why does Yotsuba have to wait until later to eat a snack?!

[magentarific]

Well with snacks it's more because if you eat every time you want one, you'll start looking like this. [ She puffs her cheeks up with air. ]

[rollypolyclover]

[... PFFT. She's going to lose it.]

Ahahahaha!! You look really fat, it's funny! Aaahahahaha!! Whoaaaah, so fat, it's so funny!

[--Wait, hold on.]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba doesn't want to look like that! [...] Not all the time! It's funny.

[magentarific]

You'll have to laugh at yourself for it if you eat snacks all the time.

[rollypolyclover]

... Yotsuba won't eat too many snacks then. Just enough. Don't want to be really fat and have puffy cheeks!

[And now she's genuinely worried that one day she'll wake up and her cheeks with have suddenly tripled in size.]

[magentarific]

[ What happens if Yotsuba has an allergic reaction now.. ]

Just enough is good! That's why we space snacks out and have them at certain times, instead of whenever we want one. It has nothing to do with patience.

[rollypolyclover]

[She might die.]

So... So it's for Yotsuba's own good! Why didn't daddy tell me that?! He's dumb!

[All this patience bullshit. Geeze. Way to be a bad father Koiwai.

...

This is awful. If he ever shows up he will be so confused. And annoyed.]

[magentarific]

[ Yuri's a good sister, not a good parent. ]

I'm sure he's not dumb. Men just operate on a different wavelength than women.
