[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]

[Elicia had had a tough week.

Shuffle, shuffle—the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They're not happy dreams, after a while, and it takes but a moment before she's wide awake and horrified and crawling under her blankets with her mouth in a shaky near-crying line. The journal. That's right.

She reaches over and opens it up all the way, unable to see anything in the dark. Her voice is watery and lined with a sort of innocent, hurt desperation when she speaks.]

[Voice]

Please tell me a story. I wanna hear stories, if anyone... wants to talk... I like them a lot. I—I promise I'll go back to sleep, but I just wanna hear one...

[Pretty, pretty please...

But despite stories, sometime in the night, she rises up from her bed and patter-pitters quickly into her parents' room. Scary, they're too scary—and they could be real. Because she's seen scary real things like it before. And the last thing she wanted was a blue-eyed woman slowly creaking out of her closet, like she kept imagining, over and over and over again...]

[[Daytime; June 24th]]

[It was a cold snap, today. Elicia wore her poofy pink jacket for the occasion. Truth be told, she's had a very tiring night of trying to sleep, and she'd failed at it fairly well. There were a mesh-up of things. Scary things. She didn't want to draw any of them, so she decided on focusing her attention to playing. By the end of her short-lived playtime outside, she's laying on her arm on the front steps of her house, the fake pink sword Law gave her still clamped in her hand.

A good nap. There was nothing scary... Just good. That was important. It's a good thing children bounce back well enough, even if only for a while, because she's got a content air about her later on in the day. Anyone who wants to visit, now's a great time to; she'll be drawing funny circles all over the ground outside with a stick. Clapping her hands and smacking them. And nothing happens. :|

But she sure as hell is pretending something's happening.]

Bam!! Now you can't stand against my dirt alchemy!! [throws dirt up with her hands at her big teddy bear >:^(

HA, screw you, teddy, you've got dirt on your head!]

You'd better give up soon, or else I'll have to use my water attack next!!

[AND THEN YOU'LL BE MUDDY!!!]

((ooc: Just make it clear which day you're replying to and all that. I have faith in you. |Db))

[Nice and comfy! Well, maybe just a little chilled; she shivers a little, murmuring something incoherently under her breath. Probably asking her mom for a blanket or something. 8|]

[Well. Time to fix that! Terra fiddles with her clasp, then drapes her cape around the little girl. If she becomes cold, she can always teleport home and put on something else.]

[Muuuuch better. It's not long before the little girl opens one eye, and looks up in sleepy confusion at the woman.]

S'that you, Miss Terra...?

[Terra smiles warmly, keeping her voice soft.]

Yes. You can keep napping. I won't let anyone wake you.

That's okay...! I just wanted to sleep for a minute, but I'm all better now!

[she rubs her eye]

I was just sleepy before, is all!

[She nods.]

That's good. It's a cold day to be sleeping outside, Elicia.

Yeaaaah, isn't that real weird? Before it was all hot, and now it's all cold! Why's that, Miss Terra?

[Terra shrugs.]

Maybe to balance out all the heat? I'm not really sure how it works...but I bet it will be warm again, very soon.

Yeah, and when it is, I'm gonna go back to the beach! Didja' see it? It's real pretty!

[She nods eagerly, smiling.]

I've been there a few times, yes. Did you make any sandcastles?

I did! And I even protected it from all the water! I even learned how to make a trench!

Oh! That's impressive. Maybe if we go to the beach together sometime, I can make a new one with you?

You will? Promise? Pinky promise, even??

[8D The beach is always exciting, but having more friends go is even better!!]

[She giggles.]

Pinky promise.

[She's not quite sure how that works, but if it makes Elicia happy...why not?]
