001 Yotsuba & Castles

[clovertails]

[If you walk into the castle lobby, and look closely in one of the corners, you might be able to see a sleeping bag with a small, green-haired child nestled in it. She's sleeping peacefully, with the occasional mumble, a bit of drool coming out the side of her mouth.]

Trick or treat... trick or treat.... oh, hello! I want takoyaki.... with mayo... and chili sauce. Thank you...

[Wake this poor kid up!]

[And there's a giant rabbit here, who may or may not be visible to her, depending on if she believes in him. He'll wander over to check her over, seen as she's lying there...but oh, she isn't hurt]

...Odd place to sleep.

[clovertails]

[Oh, she definitely believes. But she's asleep still, so she doesn't notice Mr. Bunny there!

She smacks her lips, and drools even more]

I'm thirsty, too... I'm too full to eat anymore....

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny chuckles softly, wishing up a pillow, lifting her head gently to prop her head on it]

Is that so?

[somanylyrics]

[brittany is skipping along to...wherever it is she's skipping to...and she catches a glimpse of green. curious as always, she wanders over and peers closely.

and she gasps]

Baby Moses?

[clovertails]

[Lies there, still as can be, looking so peaceful and serene, which is quite odd.]

I hate peas. No more peas... Ahh, rice is good, though...

[somanylyrics]

[britt frowns slightly and moves in closer to the small bundle, she pokes at it.

why is a little girl sleeping out here? and how can brittany have awesome green hair like hers?]

Ummmm...hello?

[assassino]

[Ezio's not sure which is more alarming -- that there is a small child sleeping in a corner in the lobby, or that she has green hair. Not that he isn't used to seeing street urchins tucked into rags and hidden away in corners of alleyways, but she looks like she's from the 21st century, and as far as he is aware, that doesn't happen in the future.

He crouches down to her level to look closer.]

Hm...?

[clovertails]

[She lets out a few mumbles, turning her head away from him in her sleep.]

[assassino]

[he reaches to prod her gently.]

[birdorcage]

[Elizabeth's still getting used to seeing so many small children around. Ones with green hair? That's... different, but she can't really judge given who she is.

She draws nearer to the sleeping bundle and crouches down to touch her shoulder.]

Hi there.

[clovertails]

[Elizabeth will soon find out that Yotsuba is not like other small children! She mumbles and curls away from the touch, but then slowly her eyes start opening, and she stares blearily at the ceiling for a few seconds]

I ate curry today. It's my favourite....

[...And then she closes her eyes again.]

[bezazzled]

[When Mabel encounters this small, precious child burrito, she can't help but stop and 'aww' a bit.]

Awww. She's all tuckered out.

[Even if this isn't the most ideal place to sleep, she won't wake her to move. Instead, she tucks her in a bit. And by tucking her in, I mean she just sort of tugs at the sleeping back in a few places as if it's going to make a difference.]

[clovertails]

[Mabel is such a cutie, lordy... Yotsuba sleepily grumbles, kicking her feet a little in protest, and then snaps her eyes open in panic]

AAAAA! MICE IN MY SLEEPING BAG!!!

[And with that, she starts rolling around in her sleeping bag, yelling all the while. LOOK WHAT YOU DID MABEL]

;action

[delincuente]

[You know who you probably don't want to stumble upon you while you're drooling in a corner? An annoying girl with a Polaroid camera. If Alex's loud gum-chewing and the bass beat from her headphones isn't loud enough to rouse Yotsuba, maybe the irritating click of amateur photography in action will be.

Flash.

Flash.

Come on, Yotsuba, your drool's going on film. Up and at 'em.]

... Hey, kid. You alive?

[Flash.]

same ;D

[clovertails]

[Yotsuba's a pretty heavy sleeper, but who can seriously sleep through multiple flashes on a camera? Since she's still in "camping" mode, Yotsuba immediately opens her eyes, and sits bolt upright, still in her sleeping bag-cocoon]

LIGHTENING!!!! DADDY!!!! DADDY!!!!

[Uh oh. And here come the waterworks... Yotsuba scrunches her face and lets out some huge, confused wails]

WAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[therealrisette]

[Another small child pauses on her way through the lobby, curiously regarding the cocoon-like sleeping bag in the corner.

She's pretty sure of three things. First, this girl is probably new. Second, no one should have to sleep in the lobby when the castle gives them all rooms! And third... thanks to the castle, Rise herself is even smaller than this girl. What the heck, Paradisa?

She could just walk away. This girl will probably think they're the same age (or Rise is younger) based on how she looks - and how she's dressed. She can actually avoid it this time, if she just walks away.

But... she can't just leave a poor little girl all alone in the lobby. Rise freaked out enough when she found out about this place... a girl this age would probably be terrified!]

Hey...

[She leans over the sleeping bag, gently shaking the girl.]

Wake up! ... Are you okay?

[clovertails]

[As she gets shaken awake, Yotsuba gives a few sleepy protests before blinking her eyes open, turning to Rise and taking her in. She's pretty confused and addled with sleep, still. She needs some time to adjust]

Are you Ena's friend? Did you come camping with us?

[cyan_maid]

[Oh, goodness. A corner is no place to fall asleep. At least, that's what Jane thinks as she passes through the lobby. She comes over, curious and a bit concerned, and kneels down when she's close.]

Oh, dear...now where did you come from? [She reaches out to pat your head.]

[clovertails]

[Sleepily responds to the hand patting her head, thinking it's her daddy]

Daddy, can we have saury tomorrow... with miso soup....

action :>

[patching_up]

[5 has to stop and take pause at the sight of the little girl bundled up in the corner; he can't help but wonder if she's all right. Even if she is, she should really be sleeping somewhere more comfortable, like a bed. The miniature sackdoll approaches carefully, hesitant to poke her or anything until he knows it's necessary.]

Um, excuse me. Are you okay? This isn't the best place to sleep, I can show you upstairs if you like...

Same!!

[clovertails]

[A sleepy mumble, and Yostuba turns her head away from the tiny sackdoll.]

Tents don't have upstairs...

[whistles_the_blues]

[Okay... This is a bit new. Well this robot with ridiculous hair and sunglasses is just going to nudge this girl with his foot for now.]

[clovertails]

[HOW RUDE.

Yotsuba ignores the nudge for now. She's too heavily asleep.]

I'M SO LATE BUT I DONT EVEN CARE

[ino]

[ ... ! SHE RECOGNIZES THIS CHILD. BABBY BABBY NO YOU CANT SLEEP IN THE LOBBY THE BAD GUYS WILL GET YOU.

she's coming over quietly to nudge yotsuba awake ]

I'M REALLY FREAKING LATE SORRY MY DARLING

[clovertails]

[Lies there, like a potato. Ino-nee-chan, wake her up and let them become BFFs again D:]
