EIGHT ⌘ Yotsuba and Rainy Days [Video|Action]

[rollypolyclover]

When someone is sad you can say you're sorry to them because no one wants to see someone who's sad.

[This is one of the big lessons Yotsuba has learnt this week, sort of. A lot of people have been going home, a lot of her friends have been upset and have told her sorry time and time again even though they haven't done anything wrong. When you smash a window or break something, sure, you can say you're sorry then. It turns out you can say sorry for lots of other reasons too.]

Yotsuba is sorry! Everyone stop being sad, I said sorry. Sorry! Sorryyy!!

[Were it not for a gust of wind picking up and blowing against her window she would have kept repeating herself until she was told to stop or, miracle of miracles, everyone suddenly decided to be happy. Luckily Yotsuba is easily distracted by the bad weather.]



Whoah, awesome! The wind and rain is awesome!! There's rain on the window right now! Isn't that right Mister Cicada!?

[She turns to talk to the plush toy of a cicada in her room. In her mind he's quite the conversationalist and seems to agree, yes, the wind and rain are pretty awesome. Yotsuba nods in response.]

Exactly!! It's awesome! There are going to be lots of puddles to splash in, but we have to wear galoshes. Then we'll be invincible!!

[Wait, what was she talking about again? It was kind of important wasn't it? Uhhh... Damn, it's gone. The thought has passed.]

Sorry, Yotsuba forgot. Leave a message and Yotsuba will get back when Yotsuba remembers, beep!

[With her little message done she's heading outside into the rain wearing her coat and boots to splash around and have fun. If you're out braving the bad weather today you might be able to see Yotsuba running around with her arms up getting completely soaked, not that she seems to mind in the slightest.]

You said my name! Good job. [Clap clap clap.]

Let's play! You can have that puddle, Yotsuba will stay here.

[Cue more splashing and waving her arms up and down in the rain.]

You...want me...

[ to what? jump in that puddle? he wrinkles his nose and looks from the child to the water and back again. ]

Bit of a queer order, ma'am. [ it's hard to tell, but he is indeed joking. playing, almost. letting yotsuba be the general. ]

[She's not sure what the difference between a normal order and a queer order is, but if she's the one making orders then she knows what to do.]

Yes! You have to jump in the puddle, it's an order!

[And then she stands to attention and nods her head quickly. Jumping puddles is pretty serious.]

If you jump really high then the water goes whooosh and the puddle goes all wavy. Raaain~♫ Raaain~♫ Yotsuba likes puddles and raaain~♫

Just one then, eh? And then I've got to blood-- [ harrumph. what'd harper say if he swore before a small child? nothing good, sharpe reckons. ]

Got to get my supplies for the week. Food, like.

[ but the very tall major sauntered up to a puddle. ]

[rollypolyclover]

Okay, just one! That's a pass.

[Her own jumping around is put on hold as she watches her new friend approach a puddle. She's watching carefully, even as the rain comes down and she occasionally needs to shake her head back and forth to keep the water away.]

One puddle, then supplies. Then food!
