15th Teddy Bear [Action/Video]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia sits near the school like she usual does when it gets out, but she's got a new book in her hands—a fairytale book, given to her by Derek (unknowingly, the sneaky vampire hunter). She's already had quite a spike in energy when it comes to writing storybooks, as you can very well see if you were involved in her hideous log.

Forgive her, she's trying to read.]

"Puh...oor little ugly d—duckling..." she wooould sss—say. "Why... are you so di—

di-fir-eant from the others?"

And the... ugly duckling felt worse than ever.

[She lowers the book, frowning. Probably thinking 'this book is just mean and cruel and WHYYY'

When she returns home, she spends some of her time riding up and down one little stretch of hallway on the brand new bicycle the Malnosso for some reason was kind enough to gift her. Training wheels are on it, but just wait until she decides she's gotta man up and take those suckers off. Which will probably be in another week.

But of course, she can't control herself from making a video entry—it's been a long time since she got to sit and make a normal one, of course!]

Hi, guys! Did you have nice Christmases? I did, definitely. I got a cool book, and a bike, and a polar bear teddy! I read about those, y'know! They live in snow, just like how it is here, and they can sit on floaty ice in the water. It's really cool...!

[She holds up said polar bear teddy as validation for her chat.

A beat, while she collects her somewhat limited thoughts. Hey, her mind works 100 miles a minute, you know.]

I wonder what else lives with the polar bears... they're not all alone, are they? That'd make them real lonely!

And that's not good at all...!

[Looks like stuff is relatively back to normal, for her. |D]

[ooc: replies in a few hours! Just getting this up while I'm lazily free with time at the moment! 8Db]

Ah! Don't cry! It's okay! I can see my mom if I want to, and the crew have taken very good care of me!

[asobouyo]

I... I guess so...

[asobouyo]

[OH BUT WAIT]

You're in a crew?

Like a pirate?!

[chibiremlover]

No! I'm not a pirate! [Why does she sound like that's a good thing?] Besides... I'm not really part of the crew. They just take care of me.

[asobouyo]

[Hmmm, let her think on this a sec.]

Then... what kinda crew is it?

[chibiremlover]

Just the normal kind... I guess. You know, a group of people working towards the same goal.

[asobouyo]

Well, yeah! But there's whole lots of different kinds! There's pirates, and then there's people like firemen! And people who put on cool plays!

Have you ever seen a play before? My old school had one, once!

[chibiremlover]

No, I haven't seen a play before.

[asobouyo]

It's where people play pretend that they're someone else!

And then they make a story for everyone to watch!

[chibiremlover]

That sounds like fun!

[asobouyo]

It is! I hope I'll get to play in one, too! When I'm older~!

[chibiremlover]

Why do you have to wait until you're older? Can't you play in one now?

[asobouyo]

Well, you gotta memorize your lines that you're gonna say...

[She leans in, whispering.]

B-but I'm not very good at reading yet!

[chibiremlover]

Oh, well, you're learning right? So maybe soon you can!

[asobouyo]

Yeah! I'll be able to be in plays and stuff in no time, right?

[chibiremlover]

Yeah! Rem says if you work hard and really want something, anything is possible!

[asobouyo]

Rem's really smart like papa~!! She must know lots of stuff!

[chibiremlover]

Yeah! She knows everything is seems!

[asobouyo]

Does she even know why the sky's blue...?

[chibiremlover]

Um... I never asked, but I bet if she doesn't know, she'll know where to find the answer!

[asobouyo]

You should ask! Don't you wonder why the sky's blue like that?

[chibiremlover]

Yeah, before I thought maybe it was just how they picked it to be in the rec room. I think I will ask when I go home.

[asobouyo]

You should!

...What's a rec room?

[chibiremlover]

It's the room on the ship with all the trees and grass and stuff in it.

[asobouyo]

So you live on a big boat!

[Hush, how's she supposed to assume you live in space.]
