38th Teddy Bear [Video]

[asobouyo]

 [This is Elicia, looking ashamed, puffing out her cheeks; whelp, she dun did it. She stole. She committed a crime and would surely be locked up in the tunnels for life, grow a beard, make friends with the rats there. Yes. Especially with the discovery of the bag of goods in her closet. For a week she ate nervously at dinner, stopped her mom from putting clothes away before hiding the bag further back, under some blankets. She paced by the door, hand on chin, brow furrowed. She tossed and turned, dreaming of the stolen things hopping out to confront her. Awake in a cold sweat, pleading with the stars to unburden her from this paaaaaain. 

HER SHAME WAS STRONG AND HER HEART HEAVY.

So here she is.]

Um... A while ago, I... took some people's things. I-I didn't mean to! I don't know why I did it--I thought I was a really cool thief who stole for good reasons! But I guess I wasn't really and it was all in my head... I have all the stuff still, though. Right here!

[She lets the camera pan over all the things she's stolen. Yep, look at all that stuff.]

I snuck out and took these, a-and I feel real bad about it. But if you come over, I can give it back! Mama and papa says that's the right thing to do, always, to give back anything you take...

I'm sorry! Really, really, really, really sorry! I'll make it up to everyone, I promise!

((ooc: stuff stolen is here for reference! thanks for all the volunteers you can still sign up for that if you wanna and then reply to this post, if it interests you and you thought you missed out. |D))

Hey, I always aim to be fair when I'm looking for something someone else has. You know, like what some would call "equivalent exchange". But if someone neglects their possessions, they don't deserve them.

[all7seas]

Trust me, darling -- I never give her more than she can handle. Mostly.

[tailasoldastime]

R-right. 23... [He points in the direction to remind himself and he heads out of the house. A few minutes later and Elicia should hear the hardy rapping of Beast's knuckles on the door. He doesn't mean to make it sound so loud, really.]

[Voice]

[howsmashing]

Don't have any friends. And never wanted any.

[She giggles.]

You like it? I like your pretty gold mane, too!

[ He accepts it and smiles at her. Decidedly genuine, which is always nice for him to realize he's capable of. ]

Apology accepted. These sorts of things have a tendency to happen.

[godbent]

-Of course! I mean, haven't- [Little surprised she hasn't already. Oh well] Well whatever, you can.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Oh, you don't?

[Hm.]

Alright, then we're friends now!

[asobouyo]

... I did go into their houses and take them without them knowing, though...

[asobouyo]

Oh, but Miss Buffy's so tough, she could handle anything I bet!

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

[AND YET-!

A short six-year-old slowly opens the door and peeps through the crack worriedly.]

...

Hello-! Are you... um... the very hairy person who needed their mirror?

Re: [video]

[asobouyo]

Hee, mine's not a mane, silly! It's jut called hair!

...

I think.

It's just called hair, isn't it?

action;

[asobouyo]

Y-yeah... But still! Sorry again, times twenty!

[She does a curtsy-like bow, because she thinks maybe this is how princesses or storybook people apologize profusely, so. Maybe this is proper.]

I'll make it up to everyone, I promise!

[asobouyo]

And maybe we can teach him cool tricks!

[Voice]

[howsmashing]

...what.

[YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT.]

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Whatcha' mean, what?? We're friends now! Good friends!

[Voice]

[howsmashing]

[He just... pauses for a second. And then let's out a very long sigh.]

...fine. Whatever. [He can't say no to a kid. He might be a monster but he's not a MONSTER geez.]

[godbent]

I've been working on that already! [To minimal success] I bet with your help it'd go even faster though!

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

[She just grins big at that. Hell yeah, new weird friends.]

Good! That means we gotta look out for each other from now on! I've got your back, mister!

[all7seas]

Aye. Anything. [Though Jack has his doubts and this subject makes him more than mildly uncomfortable.]

[Voice]

[tailasoldastime]

[He straightens up and growls slightly at that - who are you calling "hairy", little girl? - wait, Beast, little girl... try to be calm.] I... e-eeh, uh... [He decides to just be quiet and nod... what do you do with small people exactly?]

[asobouyo]

We'll make him the smartest chicken ever!!

[asobouyo]

Even a giant two-headed radioactive chicken!

[Uncomfortable, what uncomfortable, I see no uncomfortable here.]

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

[She swings the door open when he stutters along, taking his hand and putting the wrapped-up mirror in it; with the other hand, she moves his opposite hand to sit atop the item.] There! I'm really sorry for taking it!

[She smiles up--he's not that scary. She's seen scarier. That's just one odd thing in Luceti, ain't it?]

Protect it good, okay? It's your precious thing to take care of!

[all7seas]

Erm....................aye. One of those. [Buffy would probably...make short work of that, yes.]
