[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...!

[Action // Thursday, September 22nd]

[It's been eight days since her father left, and despite her searching, she hasn't found him. But this was Luceti. He was here even though he couldn't be back home, so obviously he'd just reappear here again, like mama did! With this knowledge firmly in place, and when school would begin--after a few days of staying home, courtesy of a worried mother--she would carefully sneak around after class was over to survey the forest nearby the building. Not enter it. But listen and squint into the dimness of it.

He might be there. They don't know. Just because all of his stuff went away... maybe the robots took it all, too!

Sleeping in mother's room is a must, for now. For both of them. It makes it a little easier, having someone to hug in the mornings or bitter earlier hours.

She answers the door with a determined sort of look on her face, but it falls instantly when she sees who it is. It's not your faults, really. She's still happy to see you, and the small, shy smile a few moments later says as much. It's just... not what she was hoping for. And then, sitting outside became a habit. Well, it was always important on her list of things to do—to sit on the porch and draw or play. Playing can wait. Just for a few more days. Papa might show up. Gotta stay vigilant. No time for journals, or anything like that, right?

... M-maybe just a little journaling. But nothing new. No... she can go back to old entries and look at them again. Any tears? Well... She cried a little, when it first happened. But crying now would be bad. Shikamaru said it, he told her before when she ripped her doll:

Crying didn't fix anything.

So. She would try not to cry. Even if it was... growing harder not to.]

papa

wen you com back

plees com home.

[When the video starts up, Elicia seems unfathomably happy. Unfathomably!! Under one protective forearm she has an eerily familiar doll in hand. What, you don't own a Chopper doll? But anyway!! Important things are afoot!]

Guess what, guess what! I had a cool dream! It was the coolest! [in case the first cool didn't sink in] I was jumping all through the sky, and I was jumping through all the trees and I had a really cool sword! But there was this mean kid and he was like 'humans are mean! I don't like you!!'

[STOMPING A FOOT DOWN, GRAH!!]

But then all of a sudden a cool superhero in armor flew in and kicked him in the butt! Pow!

[she runs in a circle before ending with a bad-ass little girl kick to the air. HIYAH!!]

And big sis Nami was there, and she was asking where she put her clothes 'cause she lost them, and uncle Law was there! He told me not to spin my cool sword in circles 'cause that's dangerous, and I didn't wanna get in trouble by papa anyway, and then I was on a boat with Uncle Jack and Mr. Archie, and we were looking for gold! We found a box of treasure so big, it didn't even fit on the boat, so Uncle Jack was pretty grumpy the whole way back.

It was a lot of fun, 'specially when I got to go swimming with the mermaids! They had really long, pretty hair.

[...

Right. :|a

Oh! So anyway. On to other exciting matters!]

Umm, there's new people again, huh? Hi, New Feather people! I'm Elicia, and I've been here for one whole year! Big sis says that's really true! I'm sorry I didn't have any cookies on my stand, but we ran out of eggs and we gotta go to the store. But you're all invited to my nextest birthday, so you can definitely have some cookies there.

[So just wait a whole year. Seems legit.]

Um...! That's all, I think! Maybe I should ask a neat question... [Lots of people seem to do that. It's clearly in-fashion.]

What's your favorite animal?

((ooc: time, where did you go ;;. Replies in the morn! Sorry about that!))

[[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.]
( WHAT'S UP, ELICIA? )

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

[Today is a good day! Just like most of them are!!

So it's time for another entry~~]

[Video]

I went to the hot springs, and it was a lotta' fun!! But I still don't know how the water stays all warm and stuff like that! Is it magic? 'Cause I know there's probably lots of magic that'd make water warm... And it was really cool, because I got teleported there! Isn't that really cool?! I didn't even know we could do that!

[Focus, Elicia. So much to talk about!]

U-um, and my mama's here, so if you see her, make sure you say hi! I want her to meet all my friends here; I think you guys'll like her a whole lot. She's really nice and a real good cook! She makes the best sweets. And my big bros Ed and Al are here, too, so say hi to them when you see them!

If you're new, I just wanna say hey! I'm Elicia, and I'm five years old! But I'll be six real soon! In... in...

[she holds up two fingers, excited]

Two months!! I think!

.... [an afterthought] A-and if you ever need someone to fix cuts, I can heal them! I've been practicing with Miss Nala!

[Action]

[After school Elicia's once again dragged out her little booth with cookies and lemonade and'll be waiting--except instead of just being for New Feathers, she's decided to be far more generous and give to whoever wants these tasty little morsels. They made too many, anyways. And after that? Well, she's focused on her sketchpad in the front yard, laying on her stomach with her hand on her cheek. Hmmmm.... :/

... By the way. That little pink camera she has? Yeah, she's still taking pictures of people passing by. Sneakily. And by sneakily we mean hiding in the brush until they just shrug and carry on--unless she knows you, to which she'll just lol at you and say hi.

When all's said and done, she'll seek out her housemates for some pouncing lessons. And by pouncing lessons... well, yeah, that's about right.]

[Video]

Hi, guys!

[It's Elicia in her room! Don't worry, she's totally normal looking here, no costumes to speak of. Yet.]

Outside is different now, and there's pumpkins and it's all... spooky! Halloween's spooky! But that's okay—I'm not scared~!

[She beams and ruffles through something to her right, and pulls up something like this, but with cute hearts and clouds~]

Mr. Regal, I drawed up your rainbow for you, for the rainbow donuts! I drew hearts, too, because I love rainbows a lot. Aren't they really cool? I still don't know how they're in the sky, but I think it might be magic! You know, maybe it thinks the sky is sad and wants to cheer it up with pretty colors!

...O-or maybe it likes just cheering people up 'cause they're grumpy they got rained on.

[She beams.]

But you shouldn't be grumpy! 'Cause the world is made oooof

[oh god no—]

LOVE. AND. PEACE!!

[Why yes, she did do the hand gesture as well.

And then quietly added:]

U-um, but sometimes it's made of pirate-y things, too...?

[Action]

[Okay, so it's not a school day, but let's just say she's there for some important tutoring! Because a girl must always be at her smartest, right? At any rate, she's waiting outside the door and observing that she is, in fact, dressed up like a kitty. While a normal child who understands Halloween would be mortified to be in an outfit they can't take off, she just assumes Halloween is magical ~~like rainbows~~ and your outfit just spontaneously appears every year! :D

She'll be busy doodling in her pad of paper. And yeah, every person who pops in will get a different little doodle they notice, for uniqueness' sake.]

[ooc: If you want to start out with video and turn the thread into action, you can totally pick both. I like being open about these things! I always have too much to do with this child, clearly. She'll be getting a second post a few days into the event as well~!]

[Elicia's looking chipper and happy, as usual~! A little groggy, like someone who's ready to nap, but smiling.]

I keep having a bad dream. But mama told me before it wasn't real, so I shouldn't let it make me worried! Dreams are just imaginary. They don't do anything when you wake up, so you definitely shouldn't be scared of them, okay?? [Her, trying to mother other Luceti people? Perish the thought! She looks up to recollect her thoughts for the day, and nods excitedly.] I heard about Halloween! That sounds like lots of fun! Does anyone wanna' go trick-or-tricking? Kirimi wants to go! Chibi-usa, do you?

We can get candy~! I think it's cool! You go to people's houses and ask nicely for it!

[And then the smile lowers and she looks nervously at her feet, hugging Shiro, the teddy bear Honey had kindly helped her name.]

C-can someone... tell Sanji I hope he gets better? I'm sending lots and lots of cards for him!

[And yes, there is construction paper and tape and crayons all around her. Be expected to be overwhelmed at the box of stuff she's sending your way, Strawhats.

She looks determinedly at the camera, face a pout. Her voice is lower. Because this is a grave command she is about to issue:]

Make sure he doesn't smoke any cigarettes! They're bad for you!

[And she shuts off the feed~]

[Are you walking though a certain hallway in CH4, Floor 6? Or are you passing casually by the front of the school? If you are, then you'd better watch out—from behind, a figure leaps from the corner, ~~fake aluminum and cardboard~~ sword in hand! Who could it be but the most devilish of all villains...!]
( WHO COULD IT POSSIBLY BEEE?!?! )

[Elicia is totally grown-up. I mean, she's five whole years old! And as such, she of course needed her own room with her own little bed. One little issue: she doesn't quite enjoy the heavy rain and thunderstorm outside. She has made a resolute promise to herself that she wouldn't run like a bat out of hell into her father's room, even if the noises and colors scare her silly. And like all little kids, she doesn't realize that promises like these are silly, because that's what papas are for anyway, right?

The journal opens quietly as she hides under her blankets in her sleeping gown, frowning into her hands.

And yes, it's about 1 in the morning. Some of you must be up, right?]

When you're scared, what do you do to make it all better?

[She makes a squeaky noise when another loud boom of lightning flashes.]

I-I mean, if someone is scared... and stuff...
