asobouyo | 35th Teddy Bear [Video/Action]

[Video]

I've grown six whole inches since I got here!

[Hi there everyone, guess how proud this fabulous little princess is? Really fabuluous, that's what. She's noticed you, New Feathers, and that means between scheming and drawing, she must see what you're all up to.]

I'm Elicia, and I'm six years old.. Welcome to Luceti! I had a cool banner for it, but I'm gonna redraw it 'cause I'm a lot better at my letters now! A-and maybe I'll put some glitter on it, too, so it looks even better... [Because everything looks good with glitter. She's in a 'shiny = beautiful' phase, okay?

Wait. Important stuff.]

OH!!

And look, look what I'm learning!!

[She smiles at the camera and runs over to the middle of her rather pink room, where a teeny table with a few random toys are sitting--a small teddy, a train, a few bows and the like--and she's quiet for a moment. Pardon her if she's a little dramatic about it. It's just funner that way, okay? Adults do it sometimes too, anyway.]

Hooooooouuuu--!!

[Suddenly the toys all fly off the table as she does a silly hand motion toward it, and if the viewer listens well enough they can hear the wind from it whip against the book a bit. Regardless, Elicia is shining with joy at the effort once the items are littering the floor.]

Kipinn showed me!! I heard him at school once, and he promised he'd teach me some! I think if I keep trying, I can make a kite fly! D'you think so?? O-or maybe I'll fly paper planes!

...

But I promise not to do it in class.

[Action]

[Speaking of mischief, she's enjoying this newfound power. A few hours later she's practicing her wind abilities out in the front yard; that is, she's hovering pieces of paper and when they're at her level she CHOPS them down dramatically with the little wooden sword Law'd given her.

I AM SUCH A BADASS.

Of course until the paper suddenly flies and smacks her square in the face, and she has to pry it off.]

Kipiiiin! No fair!!

[Also she might accidentally hit you with paper planes. Sorry 'bout it.]

That was a pretty good idea! 'Cause now you're really good at kung-fu, right?

Yup! But there's always room for improvement, no matter how good you get. So no matter what it is you want to do, you should keep practicing.

Alright. If I learn how to, I'll practice lots and lots, just like you! So I can be cool, too!

Sure thing! How long have you been learning Kipinn's magic for?

Um... A while! Like, lots of days! I know how to make small stuff fly and everything!

That's really useful! I wish you could meet my friend, Mr. Sky High. He can do stuff like that too! I bet you'd both be really good friends. [~~And then Luceti would explode from moe.~~]

Y-you think so?

[hee]

Mr. Sky High! That's a kinda' funny name.

It's not his real name, you know! It's his Hero name, because he's a Hero and Heroes need secret identities.

Ooooh, so it's top secret!! So bad guys can't find you!

Exactly! And it helps you feel more powerful, too, if you have a Hero name.

A hero name?

I have a hero name, too!

...

But I can't say, 'cuz then people would know my secret identity.

True! But it's okay to tell another Hero, right?

[never mind that she didn't learn/use the real names of her Hero pals until later, shhhh]

... Weeell....

If I tell you, promise to keep it super secret?

Hero's honor!

[Even corporate-sponsored ones have it. More or less.]

W-well... Don't tell, but I'm secretly Sailor Lion. Me and my friend Sailor Cicada fight witches and dinosaurs and all sorts of things!

[Verrah eeeenterestink.]

Well, that certainly sounds...intimidating! But don't worry, your secret's safe with me. Just remember to never give up when things get tough!

I'll never give up! Heroes can't give up, no matter what!

Yup! Exactly!

[Along similar-ish lines...]

Hey, Elicia...what was it like when you heard Kipinn? What did he sound like, or feel like?

U-um.... Wellll, it's hard to say, 'cuz it's not like normal talking, but it is. You can hear it in your head real good, so it feels like... like talking to an invisible person! Or someone who lives in your ear!
