rollypolyclover | TEN ⌘ Yotsuba and Birthdays [Video|Action]

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!

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.

[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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

What's gold syrup?

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

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

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

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

No it's not! I can get it right now!!

[So off she stomps to the kitchen to dig around in the cupboards. It takes her a minute or so to figure out where she saw it last, but once Yotsuba spots it it only takes her a few seconds to grab it and race back to her room and the journal.

The whole video is now taken up by a can out golden syrup being pressed into it.]

Found it!

Ehh...I've never seen that before. Are you going to eat it? Tell me what it's like, Yotsuba-chan!

[Of course she's going to eat it! She just has to figure out how to get into the tin.

Maybe smacking it against the floor?! No that didn't do it... What about smacking it against the floor again?! ... AND AGAIN- Oh, there we go.

The syrup ends up splattering over the floor, which is just perfect for Yotsuba to dip her hands in and scoop some syrup into her mouth.]

It tastes sticky. [...] It's a pass!

Ehhhh...I want to try some, too. Can you bring me some, Yotsuba? I'll give you your present if you do.

[He doesn't want to leave today. He's feeling very lazy.]

Ohhh, okay. That's a good deal!

[She'll be over right away. As soon as she realises that she should probably ask where Panda is staying.

But before she can even think of getting up there is a problem. There is syrup everywhere. When Yotsuba goes to pick up her journal the pages end up sticking to her hands. When her hands are freed they inevitably end up sticking to something else. The floor, her shirt, her hair her hair ow ow ow...

Houston we have a problem.]

[...Oh. Oh dear.]

Yotsuba, do you live alone?

[brb, rolling onto her back and waving her hands in the air. EVERYTHING IS STILL STICKY.]

No?! It's okay, Yotsuba will let pandas in the house for today!!

[Are you coming to save her Panda? She would really like that. Come on, be a hero.]

[Panda is already trying to decide whether or not he should help Yotsuba blame the mess on someone else.]

Where do you live? I'll help you, but only because I'm bored.

[This is a fantastic idea. Blame it on Naoi. Or Yanda, he's bad enough to do stuff between worlds okay.]

Yotsuba lives at four zero, that's forty. Yotsuba can count! [...] Gyaaaaah?! Why is it so sticky?! Go away, bad, nooo!

[Well, Yotsuba is a very fortunate little girl because house forty isn't far at all from CH4. This means Panda can get there without spending too much effort, though he does stop to complain about how hard it is to go down so many flights of stairs to the air.

He's just going to let himself inside.]

Yotsuba? Ehhh...are you still here?

I'M HERE. HERE HERE HERE!

[She's still in her room, rolling around on the floor and spreading the syrup all over the place. At one point Yotsuba must have rolled through the syrup puddle as there's now a sticky trail following her as she moves around.]

[It's here that Panda has a realization. If Yotsuba comes into contact with him, his cute fur will get all sticky, too.]

Hold on, hold on...! I have an idea, Yotsuba, but you should be perfectly still!
