18th Teddy Bear [MEGA-SUPA-ACTION/Video]

[asobouyo]

[Okay, so the last time she was on-air, it was depressing as hell. But now? After reassurances from so many people? Elicia just can't let her mama down. She can be sad, yes—lots of people said it was okay to cry or be sad when you really are. But after that, she just had to make sure that Gracia would be up-to-speed whenever she did come back. That said, she now has (must to many people's dismay, probably) a pink camera with flowers on it hanging around her neck.

If she knows you and you happen to be passing by the school or her apartment, she may just jump out and take a picture of you! >8^D

If she knows you, be prepared. She will get you. Do not doubt her. Because she is a wonderful photographer like that.

CR who knows her papa well enough for Hughes to trust them with his daughter (such a small list, sob)? Be prepared for a visit sooner or later this week! She is totally visiting everyone and just enjoying the hell out of company—it keeps her occupied, and the sting of her mother's absence is far easier to ignore among friends. Winry? Let's have a sleepover. A nice, girly sleepover, with hair products and scary stories and sugar. Nami, she wants to come over for a tea party. Or maybe a chocolate milk party. WHAT SAY YOU?

And then when that's all said and done, it'll be time for the usual video post:]

Hi, guys! I hope everyone's feeling good today!

I got a big question, 'cause I've been thinking a lot and I reaaally wanna know! What's a really happy day you had here in Luceti? A really happy day where you were just real, real happy! One you won't never ever forget!

[...one more little question. For now.]

O-oh... and, um... I was wondering—where are the pictures on movies? How does a funny disc have sound and pictures on it...?

[intense staring is a-go]

... It's got a lot of buttons and knobs, big sis.

[Oh, somewhere between 'Miss Nami' and 'fun' she decided you could have the title. Deal With It, Big Sis Nami.]

1/2

[SJDFsdfs that'll make her turn and blink at Elicia for a moment.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Then she just turns back to the stove with a wide grin.]

It's okay. We're smart girls. We'll work it out.

[...JUST GIVE HER A SECOND, okay little sis? Reaching out to open the oven door and peer inside.]

[asobouyo]

Yeah!

[Don't you worry, she's staring after you in anticipation. Okay, this is a familiar scene. Mama had to use the stove a whoooole lot to bake her pies!]

Careful! Don't burn yourself! It'll get hot when you turn it on!

[Okay, that's a 'duh', but cut her some slack.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'll be careful. [Slack: cut. She's sticking her head in the oven >.> But not, we hasten to add, while it's turned on. Not touching the buttons at all. There's nowhere to set on fire in here, Elicia :|a Big sis is confused.

...mind you, the stove top heats up on its own without flame these days. Hmm. Back out to investigating buttons again.]

Hmm.

[Hey you know what, she's gonna go out on a limb and say this dial here with lots of temperatures written around it is what she wants. Turning it on now. And holding her hand in front of the oven door. |D]

I think we have a winner.

[TECHNOLOGY MASTERED. ...maybe.]

[asobouyo]

Uwaaaa, good job! You did it!!

[Holding her hand where Nami's is, because that's a safe place!]

... How's it get warm when there's no fire?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know. [She can hazard a guess, given electricity is involved, but--] I think we'll have to ask Sanji-kun. [Passing the buck is more fun.]

Okay, so we'll let that heat up. [Readjusting knob to correct temperature! Then she closes the door.] Let's get on with our cookies.

[asobouyo]

[HECK YESSSSS, determined fistpump is a-go, Nami-swan!]

We'll make the best cookies ever! Even big bro'll wanna know our re—recipe!!

I haven't baked in like. 27 years. 8|

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Damn straight he will. Nami makes a mental note to ensure Sanji does exactly that >>]

Best cookies ever, coming right up! First we have to mix the butter and the sugar so it's fluffy. [Let her just ...get the right proportions for you there, Elicia. |D Have a bowl.] Think you can do that?

8| dear. god. we're doomed in this thread.

[asobouyo]

[NOD NOD]

I can do that, definitely! I'm good at stirring!

[I was ranked 2nd best stirrer in all of my kindergarten class in The Big Cook-off of '17. Or something ridiculous.]

But I was good at it! :o ...you know. way back when there were dinosaurs.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Then I'll let you stir and get everything else ready.

[Which doesn't really take much. :|a So her 'getting everything else' ready might involve putting some egg and vanilla drops on the table and then... going to make them both a chocolate milk >_>]

cooking with dinosaurs sounds dangerous. :|

[asobouyo]

[stir, stir, goddamn I am the best stirrer

... Wait.]

We gotta have chocolate chips in here, too, right??

but fun!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

We do, but not until what you're stirring turns all fluffy. And then we have to add some other things in bit by bit. The chocolate chips go in last.

such tiny arms for cooking :(

[asobouyo]

They do? Ooooh, okay! I gotcha!

[Stir, stir~]

How do they make chocolate chips such a funny shape, big sis?

Probably longer than Elicia's 8|a

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm not sure. But I bet Sanji-kun would know. You know, we should come up with a list of questions to ask him when he comes back. [Just to be annoying. Though knowing Sanji, he'd love to answer a bunch of questions about food from a couple of cute girls >>]

... true. :|

[asobouyo]

[He sure as hell would. |D]

Ooooh, I think I will! Like... 'where does flour come from'!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Right! And we can ask him why chocolate milk is so delicious while we're at it. [Speaking of. Here, Elicia. Have a glass put safely on the table nearby. |D She made it to Elicia specs 8|a]

[asobouyo]

Oh, I can answer that question!! It's 'cause there's milk and chocolate mixed together, and those are delicious, so it's super delicious together!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Ah, but why are milk and chocolate so delicious? [How goes your fluffy mixing?]

1/3

[asobouyo]

....

[asobouyo]

[asobouyo]

[Iiiii got nothin'.]

I'll ask him about that right away, big sis!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Well, let's put it on our list. I'm sure Sanji-kun will teach us all about it.

[O Sanji. So much fun to pick on even when you're not here.]

[asobouyo]

[I agree, it's all good fun. >:^D

Also—]

I got it all stirred up and ready!!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Great! Now we need to add some egg. Have you cracked those before? [She'll add the vanilla herself. Pooossibly need to be more careful with that.]
