38th Teddy Bear [Video]
[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))

...Please.

[You're being confusing, man.]
You can have friends here if you want, it's okay! They'll forgive you when you mean you're sorry, and be your friends, and you won't have to sound so upset...

Dear me... you were right all along! I am indeed terribly upset and every day is naught but the keenest of suffering...
[Pausing, he smiles sweetly.] ...Do you know what would bring me happiness?

How well can you guard a secret? [His voice is low, conspiratorial.]

[She leans in, quiet and cautious. Secrets, he can do. She's good at those.]

[Leaning in, he speaks in a slow, calm whisper.]
It makes me most happy to sink my teeth into whelps like you, and drain them of every last drop of blood.
[He draws back, content with himself, and with a little roguish glint in his eyes. Hey, he can wryly poke fun at the sort of accusations leveled against him in Cordova, can't he?]

[W-well--
No, no, she has to be brave; Mr. Tony'd be brave, and Yotsuba was strong, too, and everyone was tough. She had to be tough.]
M'not... M'not scared of you!
You're just a mean person who picks on everyone 'cus you don't like yourself!
[She slams the journal shut.
And crawls under her blankets, trying not to cry.]
