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!

[Inside is a lot of fresh mochi, and a small good luck omamori charm. just so you know =p]

[rollypolyclover]

[That's all she needs to hear in order for her to start ripping into the parcel. Once she's opened it, Yotsuba takes one of the mochi rice cakes and stuffs it into her mouth while she pulls out and examines the charm.]

What'sh thish? Ohmmmm, it'sh magic. [Yes, that must be what it is.]

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

That is magic. It's a magic good luck charm.

[Rei smiles down at the girl, pointing to the kanji on it]

Do you know what this means?

[rollypolyclover]

[Gulp, down goes the rest of the mochi. Back to staring at the charm.]

Hmm, it's a tough one. Yotsuba knows. [...] It means magic.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Yes, it does. If you keep that charm with you, you'll have good luck.

[Action]

[rollypolyclover]

It does?! [Holy wow. Stand back world, she knows her kanji.] Yotsuba got it in one!

I'll keep it forever and always have good luck. It can go here, or here, and here!

[She slips the charm into one of her pockets, then another, and finally decides to put it on her head.]

[Rei giggles quietly]

I think it's best if you put it in your pocket, then it won't fall off.

[Action]

[rollypolyclover]

Okay, it's in the pocket... Nnnow!

[And put it in her pocket she does.]

Fits like a glove, that was a good present Rei.

[faithfulflame]

I'm glad you like it, Yotsuba-chan.

[She reaches down and ruffles the girl's hair]

Happy Birthday!
