Fifth toothmark

[quadro_dent]

[Hey guys. There's an unattended baby taking a walk around the castle. Wat do?]

Comments

[waterproofed]

[Percy is walking around, too, and grins at her] Hey, Sunny!

[quadro_dent]

[She grins right back]

Percy! [Or rather "Hello, Percy!"]

[waterproofed]

You having fun with all the new kids?

[quadro_dent]

[She nods enthusiastically]

Evitamriffa. [Or rather, "I am, yes. It's not very often I get to see other children my own age"]

[waterproofed]

[nope still doesn't understand you, Sunny]

Try not to bite any of them, 'kay? [he's kidding]

[quadro_dent]

[At least you're trying, Percy. You get an A for effort!]

Shark. [She giggles, meaning (of course) "Don't worry, Percy. I'm not some sort of creature that would go around biting people."]

[waterproofed]

If you ever wanted to play with a shark, I could try helping. They're pretty harmless. [at least as long as Percy's there]

[quadro_dent]

[That's not what she meant, Percy... though that's definitely not a bad idea. She grins at him]

Bite. [Or rather, "I would very much like to meet a shark."]

[waterproofed]

I wouldn't let them bite you. [worst at Sunny translation]

[quadro_dent]

[Percy... Percy no... Percy stahp. Sunny sighs and shakes her head]

Nablar. [Which, of course, means "Thank you for trying, Percy, but we aren't going to get very far if we continue to have two separate conversations at the same time."]

[waterproofed]

Um... Where's Violet? [help baby translator]

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny points in the vague direction of the town, namely the store where Violet is currently working.]

Travaille. [Or rather, "She's working right now."]

[waterproofed]

She keeps herself pretty busy, huh? We should make sure she has some fun now and then.

[quadro_dent]

[She nods. Violet is, indeed, very busy. Sunny had been spending quite a bit more time with Mr. Snicket than with Violet lately, in fact.]

Alwork. [Which roughly means "You're right, Percy. While being productive is a good thing, doing nothing but working can be very bad."]

[waterproofed]

Okay, Sunny, we'll double-team this. Make sure Violet enjoys herself sometimes.

[quadro_dent]

[She giggles at the thought]

Okay! [Which, of course, means "I think that's a wonderful idea!"]

[theabjectauthor]

[wonder where her sister is, for one. Lemony is, however, not entirely surprised to see Sunny out by herself, and assumes she is in search of something enjoyable to bite]

Hello, Sunny. I assume you are in search of something enjoyable to bite?

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny waves and smiles at her Guardian]

Sintegreg. [Which roughly translates to "Hello, Mr. Snicket. You are right, I was just looking for something different to bite."]

[theabjectauthor]

[he pauses in thought for a moment, trying to come up with something extraordinary - and by extraordinary, he meant "out of the ordinary", not necessarily "stupendous and amazing".]

Have you considered coconuts?

[quadro_dent]

[Why Lemony, she does so appreciate the suggestions as she has been hard pressed to think of something to bite that she has not already bitten. At least, not things that could potentially be within reach. It does not make sense to dream of biting the Statue of Liberty when one is nowhere near New York City, for example. She seems to think about this for a moment.]

Drupe [Which of course means, "I had not considered coconuts, no. But wouldn't that make a mess when my teeth pierce the hard shell and the milk inside leaks out?"]

[theabjectauthor]

If we find one large enough, the shell might be too thick for you to pierce immediately, in which case, you could chew on it quite contentedly for a good while without breaking it.

[quadro_dent]

[You know, that's not a bad idea at all! Sunny smiles and tells Lemony as much.] Gilliam

[theabjectauthor]

You may have to watch out for European swallows, however...

[quadro_dent]

[She tilts her head at him. Oh you funny, Lemony. She gives him a big smile]

African. [Or rather "Are you sure I shouldn't be more worried about African swallows?"]

[theabjectauthor]

Either or, yes. [he smirks, glad that even for one so young, Sunny has a fine sense of humor]

You know, I've a few friends who are fond of maintaining the gardens of the castle ... If you ever get terribly bored, I am sure that someone with fine, sharp teeth could be of use in such an environment, as well.

[quadro_dent]

[She grins, showing off those very sharp teeth]

Horticulture. [which roughly translates to "I could help trim long vines into smaller ones, or perhaps by puncturing holes into things so they can be used as watering implements."]

[silentrunning]

[There's an unattended Chell waving at the unattended baby.]

Sunny!

[Her face lights up.]

[quadro_dent]

[Ohai friend! Sunny waves right back with a grin]

Chell! [Which of course means "Chell!"]

[silentrunning]

[Chell hugs Sunny.]

What are you up to today? Want company?

[Yup. She'll happily run around with her friend any time.

[quadro_dent]

[Hey, hugs! Chell you really like hugs. Not that Sunny's complaining, of course. She hugs her back with a smile]

Ocurs! [Or rather, "Of course! I always enjoy your company."]

[silentrunning]

[So Chell grins and follows her. Might as well have some fun!]

[psych0p0mps]

[I'll see your unattended baby and raise you an unattended wiggler! Mushio has once again wandered off exploring. He vaguely remembers this place from last year, although they're the weird hazy memories of an un-schoolfed grub.

He notices another human kid wandering around too, and approaches Sunny.]

Hey. Wanna play?

[quadro_dent]

[Oh hey, someone closer to her own age and height! Sunny grins, showing off her very sharp teeth, and nods]

Okay! [Which of course translates to "I would very much like to play. Did you have any games in mind?"]

[psych0p0mps]

[Fortunately, unlike his mother, Mushio speaks baby. And also has sharp teeth of his own. Actually, it might be interesting to see these two in a biting contest.]

Uh... how 'bout tag. You're it! [And he tags her and starts running!]

[quadro_dent]

[Hey! That's no fair! ... especially since Sunny's been walking for less than a year... but no matter! She laughs and starts running after the other kid]

[psych0p0mps]

[Technically the same is true of Mushio! ... At least when it comes to walking on two feet instead of six. :')

He runs ahead, with his heelie shoes lighting up with every step. Because all the cool kids have heelie light up shoes. But one of them isn't tied as tight, and he winds up tripping rather spectacularly over his shoelace and falling flat. His glasses go flying.]

Oof!

[quadro_dent]

[Uh-oh. That's no good at all. Sunny gingerly picks up his glasses, holding them out to the boy with a concerned look on her face]

Daccord? [Or rather "Are you alright?"]

[psych0p0mps]

[All he knows is his knees hurt and he can't see! For that first second he's kind of stunned, but as he gets back up, his face starts to screw up like he's gonna cry.

...... Then of course he does start crying, despite how much he's resisting it (because really who wants to look like a pussy in front of a girl). Perhaps interestingly, his tears are orange.]

Uaaaaah!

[quadro_dent]

[It's perfectly alright to cry. She doesn't judge. Sunny tilts her head at the boy, reaching out to pat his shoulder]

Isoki [Or roughly "It's okay. You don't have to cry. Are you hurt?"]

[psych0p0mps]

[Mushio sniffles and rubs his eyes, but the reassurance does seem to work.]

I - I hurt my knee. [He sits and rolls up his pants leg, revealing that he did in fact skin his knee a bit when he fell. It seems to be oozing a little of a bright orange liquid which happens to be blood.]
