25th Teddy Bear [Voice/Action][TWO DAYS]

[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]

[Elicia had had a tough week.

Shuffle, shuffle-the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They' ( Read more... )

NIGHT...TIME...I HAVE SO MANY TAGS STILL BUT BUT BUT shoutsgeronimo June 23 2011, 09:03:37 UTC

Ooh, terrible late for a little thing like you to be awake. Had a bad dream, Elicia?

BUT YOU LOVE THE BITTIES asobouyo June 23 2011, 09:07:16 UTC

[To lie or not to lie.]

... Yeah.

[So lying didn't work out so well. But!!]

B-but I'm not scared! I wasn't scared, I just wanted to hear nice stories so I had something to get rid of the bad ones in my dreams!

[I'M REALLY BRAVE, OKAY. ;;]

it's true I'm a sap :( 1/2 shoutsgeronimo June 23 2011, 09:11:06 UTC

'Course you're not scared! Little girl like you in a place like this, bravest of the brave, you are.

When I was your age, a very long time ago, I used to get very frightened that my house would fall down the mountainside in the middle of the night, and someone would have to read me Moxx in Socks three whole times before I would settle down again. Have you got a favorite story? Or maybe you'd like to hear something new, eh?

asobouyo June 23 2011, 10:32:49 UTC

[Moxx in... Socks? Ooookay.]

Uuuum, I don't really have a favorite... But I'd like to try to find one!

shoutsgeronimo June 28 2011, 05:43:19 UTC

Right--get yourself all settled and tucked and comfy, yeah? I'll see what I can remember.

asobouyo June 28 2011, 06:26:11 UTC

[TUCKING IN COMMENCING. You'd better not disappoint her, Mr. Doctor.]

Tell me, tell me!

[he clears his throat and settles back, trying to set the proper mood]This is the story of a soldier, a good soul traveling home from twenty years of war with nothing in his pocket but a single shilling and three hard biscuits for the long journey home. The soldier had marched a thousand miles and along the way had had many adventures, for he was a man with a quick mind, and rare courage, and good humor. After spending his last shilling, the soldier whistled as he walked, and met upon his road a beggar who played a wonderful fiddle. Though the soldier's whistle was tuneless, he stopped and whistled with the poor beggar, and in doing so, began a journey that led him to tangle with Death himself ( ... )

asobouyo July 5 2011, 07:58:19 UTC

... [8U] That's amazing! The soldier was a real nice guy, huh? 'Cause he gave the beggar a biscuit, and whistled songs with him! I think that's a really great thing to do.

shoutsgeronimo July 5 2011, 08:27:03 UTC

Apparently the beggar thought so as well. It made the soldier's long trek more cheerful, to whistle a beautiful tune, but it wasn't long until he met a second beggar along the road. This beggar played a beat on his worn old drum; the soldier stopped to dance and whistle along in his equally worn old boots, and out of pity for the poor beggar, gave him the second of his biscuits so that he now only had one for himself. This beggar too was grateful, and wished with all his heart the soldier might have finer boots so that he would always dance so well. Still cheered, the soldier departed once more and found again that his worn old boots were now soft and new. This made the soldier's journey more comfortable, as new shoes often do. Whistling and dancing, he continued his lonely journey happily, though he was beginning to get very hungry and only had one biscuit left ( ... )

They walked into the bag!!

[... maybe a bit too excited. Cut me some slack, I love story time.]

1/2 shoutsgeronimo July 13 2011, 16:56:15 UTC

They did! And so the soldier walked on--

[he stops, his mouth open to continue when he appears to get lost in thought for a moment. There's more to this story, quite a bit more, but he quirks his lips into a smile at Elicia's image in the book. He has always liked children.] --until he reached his family's home, three geese in his magic bag for them to eat. From then on, his family never wanted for food or money, and the old soldier with his cheerful dance and ruby whistle lived happily with them forever after.

shoutsgeronimo July 13 2011, 16:57:34 UTC

[he's gotten her all riled up and then cut the story in half, so he feels completely justified in offering just a bit more]

There, that was nice, wasn't it? Shall we have one more while you settle back into bed?

asobouyo July 14 2011, 05:36:15 UTC

[NOD NOD]

You can't stop now! You tell nice stories.

[Even if she did feel bad for the ducks.]

I 'specially like ones with families in them. I liked that one a lot!

shoutsgeronimo July 14 2011, 06:53:41 UTC

[he settles back and waits for her to do the same before beginning.]Once upon a time, far in the future, there lived a little girl in a big house with too many rooms. Every night, she would stop and ask out loud for someone to come to help her, for a monster had come and taken away her parents, and now lived in a room that the little girl couldn't see ( ... )

asobouyo July 16 2011, 10:25:02 UTC

She did? She met the boy again?

[She was starting to get a little downtrodden, there. For a moment. After all, this story wasn't turning particularly happy yet!]
