33rd Teddy Bear [Video/Action]

[asobouyo]

[The bad news... Elicia's brothers were gone. So while the house waited for them to show back up, Elicia did the same. But she was in high enough spirits, at least, with Christmas just around the corner. And when she was finished with her usual occupational things on weekends she cracked open her journal sleepily, laying cross-legged on her stomach, on her made bed.]

[Video]

Did lots of you have Christmas at home? Was it nice?

[She beams with her cheek resting on her arm.]

This is gonna be my second one!! I hope Santa thinks I've been a good girl, 'cause I've been trying extra hard not to be bad, so I'd get good presents! Make sure you're all good, okay? So you can get a lotta' presents, too...! What's the best present you got from him before?

[Aah! She perks up, looking at her window, bright-eyed in an instant.]

It's snowing again! I'm gonna make some snow people! You guys should make some, too!

[Action]

[Elicia'll be outside for the rest of the day, crouched low and rolling snowballs out of the thin veil on the floor. Soon, there are stacked snowballs. And then, eyes on them. And then little stick arms. By the time it's three or four? Behold—dozens and dozens of little snow men surrounding House #23!! They may be the height of a ruler, but their numbers are many! It's like Snow Sparta around here.

Don't be alarmed if some have little weapons fastened to their hands made of sticks. That's just how we roll in Elicialand.]

You're the one who called me an intruder. Now you want me to help you?

[MAKE UP YOUR MIND.]

[asobouyo]

You're a lot stronger than me, so if you gotta take over, then I wanna at least teach them how to protect the castle!

[avaricious]

Fine. Now that I'm emperor here, I'll name you General Elicia. How is that for you?

[asobouyo]

Mmm... What do I get for being general?

[avaricious]

You get to lead all the soldiers into battle. And if you win, you get a medal.

[asobouyo]

A medal?

...

...


Is it really cool looking?

[avaricious]

Very cool looking. Ed agreed to make it for you.

[And he doesn't even know it yet.]

[asobouyo]

He did?? Really?

W-well, Ed's really good at making cool stuff, so I gotta be a general, now!

[avaricious]

[What's Ed going to do? Say no and make a little girl cry?]

Of course, the first thing a general needs to know is how to salute.

[asobouyo]

Right!! [SALUTE! Military dad, I like to salute as it is anyway.] What else should I know??

[avaricious]

You need to know what our next target is. Have you picked a house to takeover yet?

[asobouyo]

Oh...

Nuh-uh! What's our next target??

[avaricious]

You're the general. You tell me.

[asobouyo]

Um....!

Oh! We can take over the bakery!!

[avaricious]

The bakery, hm? That's pretty ambitious. Do you think your army is big enough? The baker is a big man.

[asobouyo]

I think we can handle it! We just gotta wait until they don't have their guard up!!

[avaricious]

Well, you're thinking like a general already. When will that be?

[asobouyo]

As soon as mama's done with snowman cookies! 'Cause we gotta eat and be really strong before we go...!!

[avaricious]

Cookies? You plan on sharing them, right?

[asobouyo]

Mmm... I think that can be arranged~!

[avaricious]

You're a great general already, Elicia.

[asobouyo]

[Aaaa, a compliment *_*]

And I'll make sure the snowmen'll be great fighters!!

[avaricious]

[Aww, that a girl. Have a head pat.]

I have no doubt you'll make me proud.
