25th Teddy Bear [Voice/Action][TWO DAYS]

[asobouyo]

[[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'

[STORY TIME] - placeholder until after work. :|b

[That is the sound of a frightened child. A frightened child Miyabi knows personally, and cherishes as her little sister. Her heart aches the moment she hears her desperate cry, and she can't find it in herself to turn down such an offer. She wonders just what kind of nightmare the girl had, and can guess one a few things. Mmn...she frowns, wanting badly to go to her side, but...a story would be good enough, right?

For now, maybe.]

I know a good story, little sister. It's a good one, about how the rabbit got all the way up to the moon. Would you like to hear it?

Re: [STORY TIME] :|b !!!

[asobouyo]

A rabbit got to the moon? But rabbits can't jump that high! Can they?

[STORY TIME] cghcxhjd thank you. |D;;

[chiisaichou]

Hehe, actually, if you look really closely at a big, full moon, the shadows on it look like a rabbit! In my homeland, we actually have a rabbit god, who governs over the moon and can turn day into night with his power. This is just one of the many stories about how he could have gotten up there.

Once, the old man in the moon looked down into a big forest on the earth. He saw a rabbit, fox, and monkey living in the forest together as very good friends. [As per the norm, Miyabi's story comes with pictures. It's not awesome ones like her other story, since this one's meant for the smaller children, so her style is more cutesy and simplistic.]

"Now, I wonder which is the kindest," he said to himself. "I think I'll go down and see!"

So the old changed himself into a beggar and came down from the moon to the forest where the three animals were.

[Elicia loves her some pictures, so it's all good with her. :D]

Ooooh, I understand! So he's gonna test them, like-like how you get a reading test in school, to see how good you can read!

[Action - Night of the 23rd] This okay?

[crytearsofjoy]

[Instead of replying via journal Winry walks out of her room, and over to Elicia's. Den is at her heels, but she's not concerned with him right now. Right now it's Elicia. The blond knocks softy three times on the little girl's door, and whispers.]

Elicia?

Re: [Action - Night of the 23rd] NO NEVER >:^C

[asobouyo]

[WHIMPER OH GOD

She scurries further under the blanket, and then doesn't budge an inch.]

... Who is it?

FINE I'LL NEVER TAG AN ELICIA POST AGAIN

[crytearsofjoy]

It's Winry, Elicia. May I come in?

/CRIES

[asobouyo]

... Yeah.

[She pulls her polar bear teddy close to her, as if a pillow, wondering if they told big sis about the scary woman in the forest-and what happened...]

You can come in, big sis.... You're always allowed.

[Selphie's been prone to some bad dreams herself lately so when she hears little Elicia's having the same problem, she tip toes out of her room and settles herself down into the overstuffed easy chair in the living room.]

There's a story my Matron used to read to me when I couldn't sleep. Did you want to hear it, Elicia?

Re: [Voice - Night of the 23rd]

[asobouyo]

... Y-yeah. Yeah, I wanna hear it! Any story's good!

As long as it isn't really, really scary.

[Voice - Night of the 23rd]

[boomchucka]

It won't be scary, promise!

[Selphie proceeds to tell Elicia the story of Pupu, the alien creature from their world.]

Re: [Voice - Night of the 23rd]

[asobouyo]

Pupu? That's a funny name! He was a real alien? Really real?

[Well, she has caught the attention of a wakeful pirate.]

Ah, bitty pirate. What about a song? They're also helpful on troubled nights...

Re: [night time | June 23]

[asobouyo]

I like songs...

[She pulls the blankets close, voice low.]

Do you know a lot of songs, 'cause you're a pirate?

[lists_to_port]

Aye; pirates know LOTS of songs, darling, but so does anyone who sails the sea. You learn such things aboard a ship. Do you learn many songs as a little wee girl?

[asobouyo]

Yeah, I learned some! I learned my alphabet song, and I learned Twinkle, Twinkle, and I also learned the Old McDonald song! But I don't think I know as many songs as a pirate knows...!

[Kennedy meanders by while Elicia is playing, sitting on the stoop of house 29 and resting while watching her. It has only been two days since he was released from the clinic, and this is the longest walk he's taken since being discharged. It feels good, but he wishes he hadn't gone for quite so long now. Still, watching Elicia is therapeutic and he is loath to interrupt her, especially when he's not really supposed to do much physical stuff for the next four weeks.]

Re: [action | Daytime]

[asobouyo]

[Well, action time is among us! She runs back and claps her hands together, touching the strange circle in the dirt-and nothing happens. BUT. She makes a crackily ZZZZsch noise and pretends things happen, which is close enough.]

Now I know uncle's fire, so you'd better not move, 'cause it's pretty strong!!

[SNAP SNAP FINGER SNAP >:^U]

[noprevaricating]

Are you casting spells, Boots? [He calls out.]

Re: [action | Daytime]

[asobouyo]

Nooooo, I'm using alchemy, silly! When you clap you hands and make glowy lights and can fix stuff or make fire or-or make all sorts of things!
