asobouyo | 15th Teddy Bear [Action/Video]

[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]

[COUGH COUGH.]

Yeah. Uh, sometimes. [Dammit. 8|]

[Oh man. This is an unexpected twist. Grinning at you now, big bro.]

Is that a fact. And all this time, I never knew!

Yeah, and he's a magician, too! He found a knife behind my ear, once!

[No, Sokka's really good with kids, clearly.]

Well... well, yeah. But it wasn't sharp, And it was sheathed!

[DAMMIT ELICIA, SHUT UP.]

[Best. Day. Ever.]

Oh, well it's a good thing it was sheathed, then. Since it wasn't sharp.

Mm! And he was gonna catch me for my bounty, but I was way faster than him, and I got away~!!

[NO DICE, SOKKA.]

[GLARE, KATARA. GLARE.]

Only after I talked you out of your life of crime.

[If we're going to tell this story, let's not leave anything out. 8|]

[Oh, she is so unfazed by your glare.

In fact, you get a grin, Sokka. Grin!]

That sounds very brave and smart of you [little girl who she's never met before. And as for you, Sokka-] And very thoughtful of you, Sokka.

Oh yeah! That is real nice! And then he even told me about his Hawky, and superheroes! Did you ever hear about superheroes, miss? They're really cool!

[Sokka crosses his arms and silently mime mocks Katara.]

[Mimes are lame, Sokka.]

You can just call me Katara. And yes, I have heard about superheroes! I think they're really cool too.

[Teasing glance to YOU, oh brother, on that 'really cool.' Since she knows you don't think they're really cool at all.]

Katara~~!! What a pretty name! Are you Mr. Sokka's big sis?

[Because. You two are the same in a few ways. 8|a]

[fdsfsdw WHAT!?]

Little sister!

Edited 2011-01-05 05:01 (UTC)

[Oh, she loves you forever, little girl.]

That's right. By a whole year.

[Said in the tone of 'and isn't that a ridiculously small amount of time, don't you agree?']

[Staaaare]

But Miss Katara looks like a big sis!

[Sorry, Sokka, she did this exact thing to Ed, in Brotherhood.]

She only likes to think she is.

[Beam.]

Thank you. But you can call me Katara. And, yeah, like it or not he is the big brother.

Woooow~!! I wish I had a brother, too. Well, I have big bros, I guess—they're not from mama and papa, but they're still like brothers to me!

Right. Like Sanji.

[He says ever so flatly. That man is a monster! It isn't any sort of grudge talking. Just the same old fashioned irritation Sokka has always had for him.]

[Just this look, Sokka.]

They're okay sometimes.

[I C WHAT U 2 R DOIN]

Heehee, 'cause sometimes brothers and sisters get grumpy at each other!

Sometimes younger siblings like to be annoying. Like it's a hobby or something.

[GEE WHO COULD THAT BE.]

[She has no idea. She doesn't have any younger siblings. And this little kid is too adorable for her to get annoyed. ...to get to annoyed.]

And sometimes older siblings just get grumpy for no reason!

[Oh ho ho, smug look in your direction, Sokka.]

Oh, that's not good...! Maybe they just need a hug, and they'll feel less grumpy!

[~oblivious~]

Maybe. But I'd say it's beyond hugging by now.

[Grumpy grumpy.]
