Yotsuba!&..

[sunflowerfairy]

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!
Setting: The nineteenth floor on June 19th.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After getting a note from Enoch, Yotsuba decides to search the library for more treasure: information about 'romeance'.
Warnings: None so far!

Yotsuba was always happy to get mail, especially from good friends..but her recent letter inspired her to search the library, since it seemed like it was a huuge beach where seashells and other cool things hid. So, after putting the letter in her pocket, Yotsuba ran down the stairs, careful to avoid any monsters she saw. While she was wearing her sling and sash-pouch, it was still best to avoid any trouble. When she saw the first elevator she found, she pressed the call button and waited, singing to herself to pass the time.

When she finally got onto the elevator, arrived at the meadow, and dashed into the nineteenth floor, her eyes got wide, and she couldn't help but cry out to herself. "There are a lot of gems here! They're really colurful!" Nonfiction books, of course, still looked quite nice, especially to a young child. While Yotsuba was looking for a book to explain 'romentic love', she wasn't the best reader, which resulted in her pulling the first book she found off the shelf and expecting it to have all the answers..when it was just a thin book on psychology.

As Yotsuba tried to read it, her face scrunched up a she tried to make sense of what she was reading. "F..Fruied was..de..deflunked by modern.." After trying to say 'psychologists' and not getting it, Yotsuba glared at the words, as if they were the ones responsible for not having what she was looking for. "That doesn't sound nice!! This isn't a good gem!" Yotsuba closed the book and put it back on the shelf-not in the same spot she had found it in-and kept wandering around, hoping she could find something about what she was looking for.

Comments

Hopefully there are a few bright spots to help you along..and you and me both. ><;

[sunflowerfairy]

In her universe, she would have had a burger with cheese if everything hadn't been destroyed..but even though she would have-and might have in the past-that didn't mean that she would really remember or connect what she was eating with the names grown-ups gave them if she wasn't told.

"I think it does. But why don't Angels have to eat?"

And since Yotsuba was still on Lucifel's shoulders, holding the book on his head, all she had to do was keep sitting there as Lucifel moved around.

We'll survive! ><;

[brbtalkingtogod]

He would try his best to explain angels to her then.

"Angels in the world Enoch and I come from usually don't have to eat since their bodies are different. If Yotsuba were in my world she couldn't sit on my shoulders like this. Yotsuba couldn't even see me, but Enoch could because he is special."

He was far from done with explaining but he wanted to leave room for her questions. and he guessed there would be many. Now where is that other library...?

We'll both do our best to!

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba thought she understood a little bit about Angels..but not everything, apparently.

"Oh..it's good that you can eat now then! You can eat a lot of yummy curry when it's here and Yotsuba can sit up here! But Yotsuba knows about Enoch! He was brought up to Heaven!"

Where the library was depended upon where Lucifel had decided to let it go. If he had decided to go to the cafeteria, they would just need to walk past that and the infirmary. If he had chosen a different floor, it would take a lot longer.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Angels were strange like that. But it's okay, they mostly are strange.

"That... depends. I didn't have to eat, that means I never have been hungry before. And that's a little troublesome. And yes, he was brought to Heaven. He doesn't remember but I carried him upstairs when he couldn't walk on his way to Heaven anymore."

Good, then he had walked the right direction.

[sunflowerfairy]

Which Yotsuba could handle. She didn't know it, but she was a pretty strange little girl.

"Oh. Being hungry isn't good..but having a full tummy feels great! You can have that here, even if it your tummy does growl! And Enoch must have ex...ex..tired himself and forgot to rest! It's good you were there!"

Someone was underestimating how long the steps to Heaven were.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Being strange doesn't have to be a bad thing in Lucifel's opinion.

"It really isn't good to be hungry. Has Yotsuba an idea how long it takes to go up the stairs to Heaven?"

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba didn't really have an opinion on being weird, but she wouldn't see it as a bad thing once she knew about it.

"It isn't..but having a full tummy is lo..luvley! And..I don't know. How long does it take?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Lovely... that's a way to put it." Not the words he would choose but it was a way to speak about having a filled stomach and not be hungry.

Now, for the stairway to Heaven... "Veeeeery long. Much longer than Yotsuba can imagine."

[sunflowerfairy]

For people who were used to eating and being hungry, some would describe it like that. In her head, Yotsuba tried to picture the longest staircase she could think of..which was pretty long. Larger than the Tower, at the very least, and she looked pretty shocked at what she pictured.

"That's a long staircase! You must need to rest a lot to get up it!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Humans do." But Lucifel wouldn't know as archangel, considering angels didn't need any rest at all. Well, by now he did but that... that was not the topic right now.

"But yes, it is a really, really long staircase."

[sunflowerfairy]

And since Yotsuba didn't quite know about the differences between human and angel biology yet, she looked puzzled at that comment. "Don't Angels have to too?!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"No. Angels don't have to do many things humans have to in order to live. However, because of that there is a lot that is a mystery to us since we can't experience it."

[sunflowerfairy]

"Really?! We must be pretty..mys..mysterias to you too! It's good that we can find out about each other here!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Humans are mysterious in every way to us. The things they do, the way they feel... But that's what makes them so fascinating at the same time."

[sunflowerfairy]

"It makes it exciting for everyone to learn about each other! It's good that this place can help!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"At least in some regards this place has its good sides."

[sunflowerfairy]

"It does!"

..Since they had been walking for quite some time, they would probably be coming across the library soon. The moment they did so, Yotsuba would smile and point to it.

"Like the library! It has lots of nice gems!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

The archangel laughs at her excitement. Yotsuba is the first child he met who didn't seem to be too affected by the events of this place.

"It does have lots of gems."

[sunflowerfairy]

Oh, she had been affected..but she was so chipper that she kept on holding people to their promises and thinking that it would turn out alright in the end. Nothing could really knock her down for the long run.

"Maybe this one will have one about romeance!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

Then she is good at not showing it. At times Lucifel had difficulties with not showing that there were things that distressed him. Even more so because all of this was just new to him and he never had to face such obstacles before.

"It should have a few at least."

[sunflowerfairy]

Most of this was new to Yotsuba too..but some of it was actually pretty good and fun, in her opinion, even if there was a lot of scary things to worry about. Grown-ups like Lucifel and Diarmuid would help make sure that everything turned out alright in the end.

"Yay! Where?! Do you know?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"I don't be we have time to find out, don't we?"

And with Yotsuba sitting on his shoulders she could probably see the books he wouldn't be able to look at.

[sunflowerfairy]

"We do! It'll be fun!"

And with that, Yotsuba started to look around at the different books on the shelves, her hands pressing even harder on the book that was on Lucifel's head. While she saw a lot of cool and interesting books, she was eventually drawn to one thin volume.

"The little..millmaid. What's a millmaid?" She had been trying to say 'mermaid', but had messed up, for better or worse.

uhg me, why all the typos.

[brbtalkingtogod]

"..." That had him kind of confused. Millmaid? Milkmaid? It was probably better if he took a look at him himself.

"Would you show me that one?"

It's alright! That happens sometimes. :3

[sunflowerfairy]

"Sure!"

Keeping one hand on the book on Lucifel's head, Yotsuba leaned out to the left and, with one hand, managed to grab the blue book that had gotten her attention. With that achieved, she would then sit back down again and put the book right in front of Lucifel's face.

"Here ya go! Yotsuba got it!"
