[What a pleasant day... The birds are chirping, the breeze is gentle, the sun is sunny—

CHILDREN ARE SCREAMING D8]

KYAAAAA, PAPA, MAMA!!

[What, that isn't a normal Elicia post? The journal is practically flung across the kid's room as the sound of panicked footfalls rush around the general vicinity. There's the thud of an apple, as it rolls into view in the screen, and then a teary cry of disbelief soon after. PANIC PANIIIIC!!]

Was it s'pposed to fall out?! It's gone! The apple took my tooth! My whole tooth!

[It's really gone! One of her bottom incisors is gone! Now her smile isn't as toothy! What should she do?!]

I-I'll ask the tooth fairy to put it back! She'll put it back!

[The camera is angled, but it at least picks up a pigtailed little girl rushing to her bed and stuffing the little white tooth hastily under her pillow. And then she sits anxiously at her bedside, watching and waiting, waiting...! She checks it, only to find it's still there! Okay, maybe she just needs to wait a little more! ... IT'S STILL THERE. D':

/SCREAM

She finally addresses the journal itself, cheeks red.]

How do I put back a tooth?!

((sort of babysitting heh, but I should be able to go tag-crazy in 1-2 hours 8D))

[Crouching down to eye-level now.] Did it really? All by itself?

[Her face is so solemn.] Let's see the spot.

No, not at all. It is a sign that you're growing up, that's all. When a little one falls out, it means a bigger, adult tooth is going to grow.

[Hmm...] Sometimes the place it fell from is sore for a little while. [a friendly smile] But I think the best medicine for that might be ice cream.

Nope, never. It's--one of my superhero qualities. Super-resilient teeth.

[She puts a finger to her cheek and begins.]

First, brush your teeth every day. Once in the morning and once before you go to bed. It keeps all the bad germs away from your teeth. If you see food stuck around your teeth you need to floss as well.

[ IT FELL OUT?

... IT FELL OUT.

But it can't have fallen out-!! She is just a baby, a baby, I tell you- oh, whatever power it is that looms above us, I'm grateful to be here for this momentous occasion, but you age children too quickly! My baby girl, growing up? ]

[ She is probably more upset about this than you are, Maes. 8|a ]

A-ahh, I see! [ Holding his hand out on the off-chance that she wants to drop it there. Poor bb ;; ] It's not something to be scared about, I promise!

Don't worry, it won't take that long.

[Aw, Maes. No. Goofball. :/]

Wow. Well, you did good. Might want to show you family; they should know what to do with it.

[He'd mention the toothfairy, but he doesn't know if that exists in Elicia's world.]

[Woooooowwww... *u*]

That's really cool! I didn't know that was a superpower!

What other kinds of superpowers do you have?

[>gone forever
>it'll grow back

ADULTS ARE SO CONFUSING ALWAYS!! щ(ﾟДﾟщ)]

S-so how do I make it grow back?

But Mr. Superhero said if I put something sticky like honey or peanut butter, it'll stay when I put it back!

[And he's a superhero, so it's legit advice.]

They will? C-cause they lost teeth before, too, right?

[I DON'T WANT TO BE AN OUTCAST OF SOCIETY. щ(ﾟДﾟщ)]

Alright! Wait, wait! I'll sound it out!

[She may or may not be trying vainly to write shorthand steps out. :|]

I don't want bad germs! I want good ones!

[... wait crap]

... Are there good germs?

[Phew! Well, that's a relief.]

Are they even better than the old ones?

[her mouth better not cheapskate her with crappy new teeth. :C]

[/pats...

It's okay, you'll understand eventually.]

Make sure you eat properly and drink lots of milk.

[She opens her mouth and shows Gracia the spot; it's a little red, but it's not to bad; of course, she has to try and talk while she shows it.]

It felt kinda funny and wiggily before, b-but I didn't know it was gonna fall out! I thought it'd just get better...! A-and then I bit my apple and it got stuck in my apple...!

Milk? Is it 'cause it makes your bones a lot stronger, if you drink lots of it?

Yup, that's right! You know a lot, I'm impressed!

Really? It just grows?

[:| like a plant]

... All my teeth are gonna do this?

Edited 2011-07-13 10:39 (UTC)

Ice cream?! I'll make sure I have pleeenty of that!

[Best medicine ever. 'u']

I'm really growing up? Does that mean I'll be a grown-up soon?

[because that'd be so cool; I could have a job and a house and stuff!]

[Yup, here's (1) tooth for your palm. Poor toothy :C]

It's not? What should I do, papa?

But then—how long do I gotta wait?

Mhm! That's 'cause mama and papa teach me a lot!

...

and I listen real closely in school!

Well- [ because goddammit they will believe in the Tooth Fairy at least ;^;9 ]

When someone loses a tooth, they're supposed to leave it under their pillow when they go to bed at night for the Tooth Fairy. [ You mentioned her in your terrified screaming somewhere, you remember! 8Da ] And she'll leave something special for them to have in the morning, of course.

[ And a much softer smile. ] Then a new tooth will grow in where this old tooth came out, sooner or later. And that one stays in your mouth forever.

[ ...give or take. >.> ]

I'm sure they must be proud of you for it!

[....]

What kind of things do they teach you in school? Do you mind telling me?
