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

[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...

But how do you make a game out of [INSERT HORRIBLE THUNDER ROAR!]

[squeak!!]

[She hides again for a minute.]

I know the sound is very scary, but think about it like this:

Maybe the gods are up there playing music. And they're just very bad at it. You should play music, too, and teach them how to do it right.

Oooh... w-well, maybe that's true...

But I'm not very good at playing music, either...

It's okay! They're not very good either. You two can make a concert and then maybe something good will come out of it!

You really think so?

[A pause.]

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

Oh, yes. I'm certain of it.

[He smiles and laughs a bit.]

Even if you're quiet, I'm sure the gods will hear you and be thankful that you're playing with them.

Okay! I'll do my best for them, then! Mama told me if you do your best for good things, then you're doing good!

Your mother is a very smart lady then because she's right!

Do your best and I'm sure they'll be happy and do their best for you, too.

Yeah!

You'll do your best too, right?

Of course! I'll be making music over here, so you make music too, okay? We can play together for the gods.

Okay!!

[Running off to get a pot and spoons. Drums are important! B|b]

[And he's going to get a few things too from the Welcome Center kitchen since he's at the center tonight. He comes back with some glasses, a pot and chopsticks.

Drums are VERY important. :Db ]

[Yesss, she has her stuff.]

O-okay!! How do I play a song? Like a pattern, right?

Yep! Just play along however you want - I'm sure it'll work itself out.

...

[Does a rendition of the Itsy Bitsy Spider! Because it only seems necessary~♫]

[And even if he doesn't know the song, he'll play along as best he can, smiling at the little girl being so brave against the storm.]

You're a very good musician.

Y-yeah? Mr. Derek said I might be a good singer when I grow up, so maybe I'll be a good drum player...

Well! Derek-san is a good singer, too, so I bet he's right. Maybe you'll grow up to be a famous musician.

He said he's gonna sing for me! I hope I can sing for him when I'm older! And for you, too, Mr. Okita~!

I look forward to that. What's your name, hm?

I'm Elicia!! Elicia Hughes! And I'm 5 whole years old!

Elicia-- [Wait a minute...Hughes?] Elicia-chan, it's a pleasure to meet you! I know your papa, actually.

And wow! A whole five years old? I could have sworn you were so much older since you're so brave!

[She just twirls in place, so very content with the compliment~]

You do? Isn't he the best papa in the world?!
