Elicia Hughes

[What a pleasant day... The birds are chirping, the breeze is gentle, the sun is sunny—

CHILDREN ARE SCREAMING D8]

KYAAAAA, PAPA, MAMA!!

[What, that isn't a normal Elicia post? The journal is practically flung across the kid's room as the sound of panicked footfalls rush around the general vicinity. There's the thud of an apple, as it rolls into view in the screen, and then a teary cry of disbelief soon after. PANIC PANIIIIC!!]

Was it s'pposed to fall out?! It's gone! The apple took my tooth! My whole tooth!

[It's really gone! One of her bottom incisors is gone! Now her smile isn't as toothy! What should she do?!]

I-I'll ask the tooth fairy to put it back! She'll put it back!

[The camera is angled, but it at least picks up a pigtailed little girl rushing to her bed and stuffing the little white tooth hastily under her pillow. And then she sits anxiously at her bedside, watching and waiting, waiting...! She checks it, only to find it's still there! Okay, maybe she just needs to wait a little more! ... IT'S STILL THERE. D':

/SCREAM

She finally addresses the journal itself, cheeks red.]

How do I put back a tooth?!

((sort of babysitting heh, but I should be able to go tag-crazy in 1-2 hours 8D))

 [First thing's first: Elicia's living with Winry now, with papa, in her big house. Admittedly, she did like the different people passing back and forth in the community housing, but oh my gosh, her room is bigger! Heck yeah. So instead of running around the front of an apartment complex, she'll be running around in front of #23, next door to big bro Keiichi who totally lied about cooties but it's okay except we should address that this post shouldn't we??. She's got herself a few scrapes on one knee from working on riding that bicycle without the training wheels, but other than that? She's in crazy good spirits.

In fact, as she's out in front of the house, she sits with said injured knee bent; before long, she cups her hands over it and closes her eyes (though it doesn't help much in the way of focusing for her; gotta be legit-looking, right?). And when she takes her hands away, the scrapes are gone and she's smiling proudly.

FIRST THING OF BUSINESS: School!

SECOND THING OF BUSINESS: Setting up a little stand to give people some cookies. Because when you live in a big cool house you get all kinds of time to make cookies. Granted, they're mostly pre-made and were heavily heavily supervised. Should you be coming by, she'll totally give you one. And maybe a glass of milk. By the way, there's a sign that says 'WELCOM SENTER NUMBER 2' in big bold letters. Be warned: she still has her pink camera, and she will use it.

Now... THIRD THING OF BUSINESS!!! It's time to address the public! 8D

The first thing to be seen is her banner, which she's drawn up again--however, Luceti is spelled correctly this time around! HUZZAH!!]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia, and I'm five years old! I like riding my bicycle, even though I fall down sometimes, and I like drawling and reading and counting and jump roping! What kinds of things do you like? I always like to hear about everything people likes, 'cause it's always the thing that makes them smile most! And I like learning new stuff!

Like-- I learned that cooties aren't real. 

I don't think they are anyway, 'cause I was told they're not... even though someone else said they were... but maybe he was just confused...

[... not entirely sure on that one. :I

ANYWAYS:]

Are all my friends doing okay? 'Cause I know there was a big scary fighting thing that happened, so I was real worried about all the people who had to go! Are you guys all okay? You gotta let me know, or I'll be super worried 'til you do, okay?

I think that's it!

[... a pause] OH!! And don't forget: this world is made of love and peace!

[How could she forget to address this VERY IMPORTANT THING?! D:]



((ooc: slowly getting of hiatus with Elicia! The others'll be back by friday ^^))

[The feed had started out with Elicia sitting on the couch, showing off different drawings for the day, bringing up the idea of camping—about maybe sleeping over at Winry's house. But soon the peace is lost when something off camera forces open the front door. There's the muffled noise of Hughes—calling out something, something that one can't make out too well, but it's fairly obvious what it's about when Elicia jumps off the couch and runs into her room, journal hanging open in her one hand.

Noises of metal clashing against metal, quieted when Elicia closes her door and does what her father tells her; she hides in her closet, hugging the journal until it's just a black video screen.

...Quiet.

And then footsteps. But they seem heavy.]

...Papa...?

[The door is pulled open and a robotic hand juts across the video screen, grabbing Elicia before the still rolling journal finally falls and flips shut.]

[Before any important/srs bsns goes on for dear little Elicia, she must first say something very crucial to the very foundation of Luceti life—something so very important, that her canon's plot would seem insignificant compared to what she was about to utter, than no possible revelation can possibly upstage—]

Hey, what kinds of stuff is at the bakery~? Is there lots of cakes and doughnuts?

[...Nevermind then. Have Elicia looking curiously into the camera with a signature 'what's thiiis button do?' smile.]

O-oh! I gotta' use my manners, though. I'm Elicia and I'm five! [a curtsy? but of course!] I go to big kid school... Is there a big kid school here? I really want to learn how to count to 100 and how read big people's books! Like the kind mama has that don't have any pictures. Those have lots of words, too...

[And after that wonderful little beam of curiosity, she's hanging out in the halls of CH4 Floor 6, near her and her father's room! What's she doing all crouched down? Good question! There's a bunch of papers taped to the walls! And on those papers? Giant dragons and jungles and scribbles that may or may not be a lion. She's busy putting up more pictures of scenery to complete this wonderful collage. Judging by the inside of the apartment, she's also taped a few pictures up in there as well...!]



[ooc: going to sleep, but I'll be up in a few to reply! ^^]
