Yotsuba Koiwai

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!

[Sometime in the afternoon, Yotsuba sees this message pop up in her journal. Rumours of buried treasure?! No way, she had totally been left out of the loop, what rumours?! There are probably hundreds, no, thousands of people already out looking for the treasure by now... She'll have to be quick and find it before anyone else! That treasure will be hers!!

First off she heads to the fountain and from there her treasure hunt begins! Yotsuba has her journal with her as she walks around all over the place trying to find the next hint to where the treasure is buried. There's the odd occasion where she's concentrating so hard on her journal that she ends up bumping into walls and maybe even people, but that doesn't deter her for long! Feel free to run into her at any of these locations: the fountain, playground, bakery, item shop, clinic, cherry blossom hill, library and finally around house 16. Yes, she's going to be all over the place today.

If you don't feel like engaging this five year old in her treasure hunting shenanigans that's fine. Yotsuba might just come to you first, waving her latest hint around and trying to get your attention.]

Hey, heeey! Do you see this? I need help, there's buried treasure out there and Yotsuba is going to find it!

[If you help her out there might be some candy and plastic coins in it for you in future. Maybe, if she decides to share.]
