32nd Teddy Bear [Video]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia has had a really great New Feather round. For one thing, dad was back. For another, so was Sanji. These reasons alone made her the happiest person in all of Luceti (save for maybe... I dunno, Grune. She's always pretty happy and stuff. Oh, and that dog Dug she hasn't met yet). But otherwise, happiest! And when she pops in on video to address the populace, she's got a big ol' smile. Even if she sounds a little stuffy.]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia! It's getting real cold, so make sure you all got real warm coats, okay?? 'Cause getting a cold is not a good thing; your nose gets real stuffy and you go through... a lot of tissues...

[aah—achoo!

... She might be coming down with something. It happens to the best of us.]

Ummm, I wanna make really tasty hot chocolate and cookies and give them to you... I think I'm gonna ask mama and papa if we can go to the Welcome place so I can... Or maybe I can give the nice people who work there some, so they can give to people...!

[UM UM. IS THERE MORE.]

Oh, yeah! My papa and my big bro are here again, so make sure you say hi! My papa's name is Maes, but lots of people call him Hughes, and my big bro is Sanji—he's a cool chef at the restaurant, so you should definitely try his food! And my papa is a military guy! Is there other people who work in the military? You should meet him!

[... one more thing!]

And Mr. Uncle Jack, I gotta see you again so I can give you back your cool compass, so if you want it...!

Yeah, I'll tell everyone when they come back! They hafta come back every summer because that's when cicadas are around. They're really cool!

[asobouyo]

They don't bite, do they?

[This is important to figure out.]

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Huh, bite? No, Yotsuba has held a lot of cicadas. None of them bite. They just fly around and make that 'bweeeeee' noise!

[Nope, no biting insects today.]

[asobouyo]

Ooh! They can fly! So does that mean they got even more wings in Luceti??

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Yes! They must have a whole bunch of wings here, at least... Eight! Maybe nine wings, all flapping around and stuff!

[asobouyo]

Eight or nine?!

That's too many!! Do they have enough room on them for eight??

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they probably have room for even more wings! Cicadas can handle it, they're really cool!!

Maybe even... Ten wings!

[asobouyo]

Woooow...! Just think, if we had ten wings!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Just think if we both had ten wings... And then held hands!

[asobouyo]

UWAAAAA!!!

We'd be so cool! I bet we could fly all the way to the clouds!!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Right, right?! We'd be able to fly over everything and look down and see our houses and everything!! We'd have so many wings we could give rides to friends too!

[asobouyo]

And we can even talk to birds while we're up there!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, hadn't thought of that! What do you think they'd say to us?!

[asobouyo]

Mmm... I dunno! Maybe they'll tell us how bugs taste.

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, maybe. Maybe all the birds will tell us which bugs are the best to eat! We can learn all of the bird's secrets!!

[asobouyo]

Ewwww, but do we really wanna eat bugs? They're all crunchy, and they have guts!

[rollypolyclover.livejournal.com]

They can't all be crunchy. Some are probably really squishy!

We could always get candy instead.

[asobouyo]

How about candy bugs?! Like gummy worms!
