o9 :: Flood of Destiny

[voice]
Since the whole place is in shambles anyway, does anyone with building skill want to help me make a new building for a coffee house? I'm willing to work as long as whoever I'm working with actually knows what they're doing, because I don't.

[ A beat of silence before she completely changes gears. ]

Also: I've got a ref and at least two players signed up, but I want to hold a beach volleyball tournament when things are less wet! I'll need at least two people to wear bikinis and aprons to hand out refreshments and lots of participants.

{{ ooc: I got permission for Yuri to have a coffee shop, but since there's no place for one she'd have to build her own. Since she has no building skill, she needs help. The flood is like a sign from destiny, though. }}

[ At any point during the day after this post, one might find Yuri wandered around town looking for a good spot that she wants to set up shop. She's wearing something different than normal, a nice green coat that she'd received as a gift quite some time ago, and it almost looks as though she's about to give up--

No, she's just heading off to get out of some of the mess to take her socks off, since they're pretty much just getting covered in mud and mess anyway and making her a lot more uncomfortable than if she had bare legs. Sure, it might not be as warm, but it's not itchy at least. ]

Great. We can both go in our coats. I've got to pick out a new swimsuit too. [ Yuri smiles and it's evident in her voice. ] I'd give you a high five if I were there right now, so high-five yourself, alright Yotsuba?

Edited 2012-06-27 06:23 (UTC)

Gotta look your best when you're going to the beach, Yotsuba wants an inner tube okay?! [A giant inflatable ring around your waist is totally practical when you're playing volleyball.] Alright, high five! Yaaah!

[Clapping her hands together! Then she brofists herself like a boss.] Yotsuba bumped our fists together too, just so you know.

In inner tube? How are you going to keep it up while you're hitting the ball? [ She'd probably agree to it because FFF WHO CARES WE'RE HAVING FUN BONDING OKAY 8| but she's not sure how easy that'll be. ]

Great. I'm doing the same now, so it's like a spiritual five-bump.

Yotsuba will hold onto it and hit the ball like this. [Rocking back and forth on the floor she eventually is able to tap the journal with her forehead.] Goal!

Ohhh, a spiritual five-bump. That must be what all the grandpas and grandmas in heaven do to say hello. [ohwait Yuri is all dead or whatever right? She never really got the whole yuri/naoi/otonashi afterlife thing in any detail. But it seems to be sort of relevant here. Maybe.] Is that how you said hello to people back home?

Yotsuba, you know I can't see what you're doing unless you switch to video, right?

[ Spiritual.. what.. OH. Spirits. Dead people. Okay, Yuri can make that connection. ] No, we said hi like normal people. [ Yuri, how you greet people is usually with kicks off of buildings or while holding a sniper rifle, that is NOT NORMAL. ]

I know that! Didn't you hear Yotsuba hitting the ball?! It went like this!

[This time when she headbutts the journal she quite expertly but completely accidental flips it over to video so the journal is able to catch a nice close up of her forehead before she sits back down.]

So you just waved and said hello? Ohhh, that really is normal. That's really normal for the grandpas and grandmas. They should start spirit five-bumping!

I heard you, but for all I know you threw a rock at the thing. I don't know if you're allowed to hit it with your head in volleyball, Yotsuba. On purpose, anyway.

[ Honestly, she's kind of worried that Yotsuba would get brain damage :| ]

I'll pass them on the memo if I meet any.

Does that mean Yotsuba should throw a rock at the volleyball instead? It would hurt if someone threw a rock at your head, they're hard and sometimes pointy.

[She's had much worse than just a volleyball to the head back home and she's turned out... Well enough. Anyway, volleyball, how does that even work.]

Make sure you tell them, you have to promise.

Don't throw a rock at it either. You're supposed to use your hands and arms.

[ It'd probably be a good thing if Yuri actually told her.. ]

I'll try. I don't usually see a lot of old people around though.

[Looking at her hands and holding them up to her face.]

Not your head, or a rock. Hands and arms. [... And now lifting a foot up into view.] Feet?

[Actually, come to think of it.] There aren't any grandpas or grandmas here.

Not feet. Feet is for football and kickball.

[ Huh. Yuri puts a finger up. ] Maybe when people get old here, they just die and then get brought back younger.

Feet is for football, kickball, not volleyball and kicking Nowy. [That sounds about right.]

Ohhh so all the old people are really young people. Are you really a grandma Yuri? Yotsuba had a grandma back home.

[ Seems legit enough. ] Exactly.

I'm a little older than I was before I died, but not that much older. I'm almost 19. I don't age though.

Ohhh, you're timeless. [That's coo'.]

You're Asagi age maybe. Or Fuuka age. You're older than Yotsuba! When do you go nineteen, soon? Tomorrow? Good luck going nineteen.

If I tell you you have to keep it a secret. I don't want everyone going and getting weird about it, I don't usually celebrate my birthday.

Don't you want a party? Yotsuba wants to go to lots more birthday parties! You can tell me, I won't tell anyone. Yotsuba is good at secrets!

I didn't really celebrate my birthday when I was alive and then I was dead after that, so it seemed a little silly.

[Birthday parties are a big enough concept for her to understand in the first place, adding death to that and how it might change things isn't helping.]

Why is it silly? Are dead guys not allowed birthday parties? Don't get in trouble Yurippe.

Well when you celebrate your birthday, you're celebrating that you're alive for another year. If you're not alive, then you can't really celebrate that right?

[... That makes sense!]

Ohhh! That's why when the grandmas go to heaven they don't have birthdays anymore! Grandma still talks to Yotsuba though. When's her birthday?

I don't know when your grandmother's birthday is, Yotsuba. [ Or what Yotsuba means by grandma still talks to her but that's more complicated ]

[She stills talks over the phone. Back home. But of course she's leaving the details out so for all anyone else knows she might be hearing the voices of her ancestors in her head. God knows.]

... When's Yotsuba's birthday? Do I have a birthday?

[ Talking about dead people then going to grandparents Yuri just assumed Yotsuba had a 6th sense or something. ]

I don't know, you'd know better than I would. Do you get to have a little party for your birthday? With cake?

... Yes.

[It's a been a long time since her last birthday though, almost a year! That's way too long for her to be expected to remember all of the details.]

There was cake. And games, and party animals. Not the crocodile though, he wouldn't listen!

Crocodiles tend to make sure birthdays don't happen again, so I can see why. Do you remember what day all that was on?
