31st Teddy Bear [Backdated to Friday | Action/Video]

[Action]

[Life goes on.

And for Elicia, losing quite a few loved ones in such a short time-frame hasn't entirely exhausted her youthful determination. She has a super hero to look out for her papa. And she has Jack's special compass. The last few days she's been outside her school with said magical device, pacing back and forth, watching the small needle turn and turn with no set destination. It's what she's doing today, pacing and watching it never stop. They weren't here. The people see was waiting for, that is. It's what she wanted most, and 'cause they're not here the compass says no.

Well, she'd just try again tomorrow!]

[... it's been a long time since she really tried to talk to everyone. She smiles big for the camera.]

Hey! Today I read a really good book; it was called the Swan Princess! I didn't know some of the words, but I knew mooost of them... It must feel really funny to change into animals and stuff. But the worst is getting turned into a frog! 'Cause you'd be all slimy and green and tiny! And you'd have to get a kiss, even though you're a frog...

But I'd kiss a frog! I-if it meant helping someone change back, I'd do it! ... Maybe on the cheek!

Definitely on the cheek!

And if it was a prince maybe he'd give me a cool crown for helping him!

[Siiigh. That sounds so cool.]

I wouldn't kiss a big lion, though, because they like to scratch! Unless they say they're friendly. But I don't know anyone who knows a friendly lion...

[It has been awhile since Keiichi talked with Elicia, or even saw her despite being neighbors basically. But life had been hectic and once he returned from a kidnapping and found out that Hughes wasn't there... He lost any reason to drop by the house. Part of him wants to keep doing that, less people to care about and worry, but Elicia is a child and she doesn't deserve that. And she's obviously doing her best in not getting down, even when she has even more reasons than anyone to be so.]

A frog but not a lion... Would you kiss a bear, Elicia-chan? Because I was one for a while, no one tried to kiss me but now I wonder if that would have made it go away faster than it did.

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Oh, I could kiss a bear! If it were a nice bear like you, I'd definitely give it a kiss! And a hug, too!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

That's good to know, next time I get turned into a bear I'll call you to check on that. Maybe you can turn me into a boy once again.

Would a flower crown be good enough for you as a reward?

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Mmm... I do like flower crowns lots...!

[BEAM BEAM]

Could you make one with pink flowers??

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

They can be whichever color you like. It's your crown after all.

[Laughing.]

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Alright!! Then I promise to make sure you don't stay a bear!!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

You promise? Then I won't have anything to fear if I become a bear again!

Well, if you ever get turned into something else I'll do the same for you... Uhm... Pity I didn't think of that when you were a kitty.

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Hee, that's okay! I was a cute kitty, at least!

And I got to curl up on the couch and sleep and I got pets!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

You're a cute girl, it would be hard for you being anything that's not cute.

[He laughs a bit.]

Yeah, being an animal has its good parts, but nothing better than being yourself, right?

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Mhmm! And if I ever wanna see animals, I can just see ones that have always been animals!

Real kitties do it lots better than me!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[Laughing.]

That's true, I'm sure real bears do it better than I did while I was one. I wasn't good at the part of roaring and being angry.

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

I wouldn't wanna roar or be angry, neither! It'd be really mean to all the people around, and I don't like being mad!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

Can you get mad, Elicia-chan? A girl as sweet as you doesn't seem the type capable of doing so.

Re: [Voice] 1/2

[asobouyo]

I can! I can get real grumpy! Like... like...!

[...]

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Well I don't know when I'd get grumpy, but I definitely could if it someone being mean!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

I don't know, you really don't seem the type to get grumpy, can you even make an angry face?

[Not that he wants her to be grumpy, but a bit of teasing won't hurt, right?]

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

S-sure I can! See?

[LOOK. THIS IS MY BEST GRUMPY FACE RIGHT NOW.

I THINK...

OKAY MAYBE NOT.]

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[You look awfully constipated, Elicia. Keiichi stares for a moment and has to retrain a laugh, she's just so cute. But she's trying her best, laughing at her wouldn't be nice so... Cue panicked tone!]

E-Eh! Ah! S-Sorry Elicia-chan! I get it, I get it! Please don't be angry with me! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I promise I'll make it up for you! Forgive me, please!

[YOU'RE SO SCARY ELICIA PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY ANYMORE.]

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

[... Heck yeah, I'm so good. :^|b

She just laughs.]

It's okay! I like being happy more than being mad, anyway!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

Really? You're not mad at me? I promise I'll be good.

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

I'm not mad at you! You're too nice to be mean to.

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

Ah, really? I'm glad, Elicia-chan looked really mad and scary! I prefer you when you smile, specially with such a pretty smile you have.

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

[Eeee, compliment~]

Hee, I think you have a nice smile, too!

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

Then it's better if we smile a lot, right? To show everyone our handsome side.

[He laughs.]

By the way, what are you up to now, Elicia-chan?

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

Nothing much, 'cuz I just got back from school!
