Yotsuba!&-

[sunflowerfairy]

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!
Setting: Outside room 02-07.
Format: Starting with prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: Yotsuba has just woken up, and she's looking for her Daddy and dealing with the Tower.
Warnings: She might end up crying if you're a bit too rough with her. Or you might scare her with birds and bird-like objects.

Yotsuba blinked her eyes open as she started to wake up and sat up. This place wasn't her room..and Daddy wasn't in bed beside her. And this white ou-..outfit weren't her pajamas. Ignoring the notes that lay on her trunk, Yotsuba ran out of bed and, slamming the door open, ran out into the halls.

"Daddy!? Daddy?!! Where are you?"

Comments

Not that Yotsuba really noticed yet that it was going slow.

"Can we visit the other places that these buttons go later?!"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"Sure! Bet let's get you something to eat first."

And maybe figure out which floors aren't dangerous.

[sunflowerfairy]

"Okay! Can I have curry? Or ice cream?"

Yotsuba, sadly, had no idea about the menu here for newcomers.

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"I don't know if they have that. But you can have whatever you want after you eat some oatmeal first."

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba had no problem with that..except for one little thing.

"What's oatmeal?"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"It's..." Perhaps she's not the best person to explain Earth food. "It's something you have to eat when you get here, they don't put it in the letter but it's very important that you finish it, okay?"

[sunflowerfairy]

That..really didn't explain much. Yotsuba still looked pretty confused, but she nodded anyways.

"Okay..is it yummy?"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"It's... very plain. It isn't that good but it also isn't bad either."

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba tried to wrap her head around that. It wasn't yucky..but it wasn't yummy either? That didn't make much sense.

"If it isn't yummy or yucky..than is it just okay?"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"Exactly! It's right in between."

And that's the best she can do as far as explanations go. She's glad that the required meal is such a plain one, it might have been hard to convince Yotsuba to actually eat it if it was, as she puts it, 'yucky'.

[sunflowerfairy]

Plain meals like oatmeal would be called 'yucky' by Yotsuba, but if you told her that she could eat something better afterwards, she would do her best to get through it. For now though, she just smiled.

"Okay then!"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

Aradia smiles back and looks up at the numbers of the floors the elevator passes. They're almost at the bottom.

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba, in the meantime, occupied herself by singing.

"Up, down, up, down
This is how the elevator goes~
To give us oatmeal!~"

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

"We'll see if we can find you something yummy to eat after you finish the oatmeal."

And at that moment the elevator dings, notifying them that they are on the first floor.

"Let's go."

[sunflowerfairy]

"Okay!"

When the elevator dinged and the doors opened, Yotsuba happily ran out, curious to see what the cafeteria looked like.

[fiesta_de_los_muertos]

While Yotsuba looks at the cafeteria Aradia will stand in line to get some oatmeal. When she receives a portion she finds an empty table and calls Yotsuba over.

"Here." She says as she slides the bowl over.

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba, sadly, missed the drones that were handing out oatmeal and looked all around the cafeteria, both fascinated and curious. She was about to open up a drawer when Aradia called out.

"Coming!"

Quickly, Yotsuba ran over to her friend..and couldn't help but make a face at the bowl.

"Is that oatmeal?"
