Elicia Hughes

[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~!]

[A relatively normal day, so far. Elicia'd been coloring up pictures of pirates (fire-breathing lions were soooo last week) and was generally relaxing in her new setting. Lots of new friends and happy times! But as she finished up Mr. Pirate's peg-leg, she happened to notice, by chance, something out the apartment's windows...

A small bird limping across the grass outside!

Well, leaving it certainly wouldn't do... It'll only take a second to go see and it's close by, so it'sokay!—besides, it looks like it could rain in a little bit... She has to make sure the little critter wasn't stuck out during a drizzle...

So Elicia leaves the apartment and rushes down the stairs, slip-on shoes click-clacking all the way. She can see the bird in the distance trying to flap a mangled wing, and runs toward it... which is, in hindsight, a bad idea, because it just darts into the brush. She continues for a few seconds until she's in a little clearing, where soft frenzied chirps meet her ears.

A tree! Over there~!

She climbs its jutting roots and looks into a hole to find baby birds, all chirping and fat... like their mama? Aaah, but that means mama bird was missing! Was it really the one she'd chased earlier? Well, she'll just sit and admire the babies for now while waiting for any sign of said mama birdy, whenever you feel like bumping into her.]
