[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))

[That was always her fear, too; maybe that means she can be reassuring, now.]

They're your friends. That means they like you very much and they'll still be your friend even after something like this.

[Even after doing horrible things, like Ami had.]

You believe in them, right?

W-well, yeah...

[b-but!]

Some of them I just met though. What if they think I'm always a thief?

They'll see that for themselves once they've known you for a long time and you haven't done it ever again.

Because... because that means I'm not normally like that, right?

Right. Besides, who could be mad at such a well-behaved, sweet girl, right?

I guess so... As long as I'm well-behaved from now on, I think it'll be okay!

You need to give yourself a chance, too. This might sound strange coming from me, but don't worry too much, alright?

Would you like to do something fun to take your mind off it?

... Okay!

I think that sounds nice!

What's something special you like to do? We have the whole day.

I dunno... I can't think of what to do... There's so much stuff!

[Hmmmm... I wonder. :|a]

What kinda things do you like to do?

[Instead, Ami thinks about what a little girl might enjoy.]

Do you like any games, or sports? Are there favorite toys you like to play with?

Mmm.... I like...... Board games! Board games're nice. Maybe we can play some here!

I bet some of the shops in the village would have games. Shall we look? We could meet nearby and go together.
