TEN ⌘ Yotsuba and Birthdays [Video|Action]

[rollypolyclover]

It's November! November again! Yotsuba is here and it's November again! I've been here for ages, a year is a really long time. Yotsuba has been here for... [Please hold while the little girl counts on her fingers for a moment. Teeen, eleeeveeen-] Twelve mumps! And... Too many days! Yotsuba has been here forever!

[Considering she's been here 'forever', Yotsuba looks incredibly happy. And with good reason, for today is her birthday... Well, no, it isn't. Heavens if she knows how birthdays work when you're not back home. She's talked to Yuri about her birthday before and most of that conversation went over her head, so you know what? November is her birthday. Just any day in November, she doesn't care when.]

Today Yotsuba wants a cake, so can we have cake?! Make it strawberry today, it feels like a strawberry day. It has to taste like a dream! Ohhh, and presents, really cool presents! What do you want for your presents Mister Cicada?

[Yotsuba looks away from the journal at the cicada toy she has. Hm, what's that? I want... A giant TV... And a hot air balloon.]

That's too much Mister Cicada, no presents for you! [...] Don't make that face at me! Nooo! Oh, Yotsuba almost forgot, almost!

[To finish up her journal entry about demanding cake and presents without explaining anything, Yotsuba disappears from the journal. There's the sound of a few doors slamming in the background and she goes looking for something she picked up earlier and then decided to hide in case Naoi found it... She hid it in the bathroom behind the shower curtain.

A minute or two later and she's back with a birthday balloon. Sixty is like six with just a zero on the end, close enough.]

Okay!! I'm ready for presents and cake now!

Chocolate bamboo ice cream cake with extra strawberries on top...!

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

That's Yotsuba's cake, I want that cake for my birthday. No bamboo, that's yucky. And there can be pancakes too, pancake ice cream cake.

[All that sugar might drive her up the wall, but it'll be worth it.]

Re: [video]

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...the pancake ice cream cake is my warm-up cake. It's just the appetizer.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Stop having all the cakes, you're going to be fat! Your cheeks will look like a hamster!!

[To demonstrate, Yotsuba angrily puffs up her cheeks.]

[video]

[bamboozler]

Ehh, but if you eat so much cake, you'll be fat, too! It's better if someone older eats the cake, right? I'm not going to get fat, either...because I'll be a dream panda.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba is older now, six years old! Pandas can only be dream pandas in their dreams!

[video]

[bamboozler]

Only six years old? Shouldn't an older Panda who has a job get more cake? I'm so hard-working, you know, even though I don't like putting in effort at all.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

[Only six?! But that's older than five!]

No!! How old are you, three?! Yotsuba is older and more mature, I can make schedules and keep to the schedules! And I have a job!!

[video]

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...don't ask such complicated questions. Pandas age faster than humans, don't you know? So I'm even more mature.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Are you like cheese that's mature? Where's all your mould?!

[video]

[bamboozler]

Pandas don't mold. It's like you've already started to, though.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

[No she hasn't!! ... But then that would mean she wasn't mature, and she is totally mature. But she doesn't want to be some yucky mould!]

No!! No no, you're wrong! Stop it, Yotsuba is not mouldy!!

[Better just throw a tantrum about it.]

[video]

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...but your hair is so green.

[Pauses. Hmm, he didn't want to upset her, he just wanted a birthday, too. His own was being replaced with a group birthday for his two brothers.]

Yotsuba, what would you rather have for your birthday? A panda-shaped shaved ice maker, or a panda backpack?

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Green hair is all the rage, don't get angry! Yotsuba is the height of fashion!!

[Hmph! ... Wait, panda stuff? She has a bag that she uses for school, but a panda one would be pretty neat. What the heck is that other thing though?]

What's a panda-shaped shaved ice maker, is it hairy?

[video]

[bamboozler]

I'm not angry, I'm not angry. I'm getting you a present, remember?

[But how should he explain this...]

Let's see...you put ice in the machine, turn the handle, and it makes shaved ice you can eat.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

[That description sounds very similar to the toy her dad bought which helped him make coffee. That stuff tasted disgusting though.]

Is it good? Yucky things taste bad, even if grown-ups like drinking dirty brown water.

[video]

[bamboozler]

You add fruit syrup to make it taste like whatever you want, even strawberries! It's like eating flavored snow.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

I like snow! [Welp. She's sold.]

Can you add lots of yummy things, like banana syrup too? Bananas and strawberries... [Yum. Sounds delicious.] It's like a miracle!

Re: [video]

[bamboozler]

You can add all kinds of syrup! I think there's even blue raspberry, even though raspberries aren't blue. Or bamboo syrup, but I don't know how to make that yet.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

The raspberries must be cold, when you eat them the raspberries warm up and turn pink! Can you put golden syrup all over it? Sticky!

[video]

[bamboozler]

Oh, nooo, I don't think you should use gold syrup on it...

What's gold syrup?

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

It's syrup that's all gold and sticky. [Helpful.]

[video]

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...I've never seen a syrup like that.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

I have, Yotsuba has seen it before! It's in the kitchen, but no one uses it. Not even Yuri.

[video]

[bamboozler]

Hmm...could it be that it's too sophisticated for children? I want to try some.
