3rd Teddy Bear [Video][Eaaaarly morning of the 15th]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia is totally grown-up. I mean, she's five whole years old! And as such, she of course needed her own room with her own little bed. One little issue: she doesn't quite enjoy the heavy rain and thunderstorm outside. She has made a resolute promise to herself that she wouldn't run like a bat out of hell into her father's room, even if the noises and colors scare her silly. And like all little kids, she doesn't realize that promises like these are silly, because that's what papas are for anyway, right?

The journal opens quietly as she hides under her blankets in her sleeping gown, frowning into her hands.

And yes, it's about 1 in the morning. Some of you must be up, right?]

When you're scared, what do you do to make it all better?

[She makes a squeaky noise when another loud boom of lightning flashes.]

I-I mean, if someone is scared... and stuff...

What's braver?

[She is like soooo very attentive right now!! O_O]

[all7seas]

Better to be smart than brave, poppet--always remember that, eh? Live to run another day.

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

Well.

You can't run away from lightning...

What's a poppet?

[voice]

[ayu_nee]

You're very welcome. Try to get some sleep, hmm? You wouldn't want to be tired in the morning.

[Aaaah, applause!!]

Re: Voice

[asobouyo]

Thanks! I learned it in school!!

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Being able to tell people you're scared.

[voice]

[all7seas]

It's the storm as what's bothering you, lass? You're safe indoors, eh?

A poppet, pet, is a pet what looks a bit like a dolly belle in miniature.

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

Ooooh...

...Y-yeah, I guess I'm safe...

But what if a giant ligh-lightening bolt—what if it hits the apartments and breaks the roof! Then it would come inside!!

[You've gotta be prepared for these possibilities!!]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

I think it means a lot of things? My moogle friend never did explain that part.

[all7seas]

Aye; suppose then the house would catch fire...

[asobouyo]

[W-wibble! Someone sounds a little frantic!]

O-oh no!! What can I do if it happens?! I can't let anyone get hurt, and fire's really hot!

[all7seas]

[A snort.]

So many heroes in Luceti, they'd have you out and doused in a moment, sweetheart. No worries, you. Now. Sleep.

[asobouyo]

[Tooootally ignoring that 'sleep' part]

Heroes~? Like in the storybooks and stuff? The kind that fight big monsters and save princesses and ride horses??

[asobouyo]

Heehee, but if you sing fast how can people know what you're saying?

Re: Voice

[asobouyo]

You really think so?

[A pause.]

But I'll have to be really quiet, because papa's asleep in his room.

[asobouyo]

I hope we get to learn, someday. I really wanna know, so I can say it, too!

[ D8 BED INTRUDER WHAT- ]

[ action ]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ Wait. Okay. Blinking. Small intruder. God he's tired. ]

...Elicia?

Re: [ action ]

[asobouyo]

[Just. Gonna stay hidden... under these sheets here.]







...Mm...hm?

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

Yeah!

...I'm Elicia! It's nice to meet you.

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

[She thinks about it, very carefully.]

...

You really think so...?

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yep. Especially if they can help you. That's showing more bravery than hiding it from everybody in case they laugh at you, or something.

[all7seas]

Aye. Like that.

[Stupid hero types.]


Now. Sleep.

[asobouyo]

But how can I sleep if the lightning and thunder wakes me up?

...

...

Are you a hero, too, mister?
