☆7 [action] starting at House 10, ending up all over Luceti

[skaterbrain]

[Since people are out and about, Beat's been skateboarding a lot more, but... Well, he does feel a little bad that he basically skipped town on Shiki's lesson and then had Roy wheelbarrow him out of there. To make up for it today, he's sitting in his room and reading. Or trying to. The journal just might pick him up as he tries his best.]

..."My hat is"...goh-neh? What? Uh...Goon?

...

"Gone. My hat is gone. I want it back."

...The hell?

...Uh. Aight.

"Have you..." ...uh...

...Dammit.

[OOC: Beat is going to be chased around Luceti looking for a place to read in peace. Feel free to have him show up anywhere including in your kitchen for who knows what reason. o/]

Comments

[rollypolyclover]

[Welp that's true, she isn't a book! So there's no possible way she can comment on a book's sleeping habits. Wow Beat you are just full of knowledge and smart things.]

Ohhh that's cool, you'll be the best skateboarder ever!

[...]

What's a skateboarder?! Did your promise really rhyme?!

[skaterbrain]

[Oh god, Yotsuba, don't learn from Beat.......................]

Heh, yeah, I did. Said I'd be the best in the world, so she couldn't give up on her dreams neither.

[It was a lie, but it's a lie he's adopted now.]

Skateboarder's a dude who skates, yo. Check it.

[He grabs his board and drops it down on the walk in front of the house, doing a simple trick on it before turning back.]

See?

[rollypolyclover]

[But he is a fount of wisdom and knowledge!! Plus older people always know more than her, teach her all the awful things.]

Ohhh! That was cool, it flipped around when you jumped on it, wow!!

[This board with wheels on is intriguing. It's like a cart only smaller and you stand on it... She wants on.]

Can Yotsuba try?!

[skaterbrain]

[....Oh, Yotsuba, there is no hope for you ever again.]

Sure, kiddo. Just gotta take it slow, yo.

[He rolls up to where she is and steps off, keeping one foot on the back of the board so when she gets up she won't just end up on her butt.]

Step up.

[rollypolyclover]

[Sob. But oh yaaay skateboard! Slowly getting onto the board and sticking out her arms for balance.]

Look, I'm doing it! Yotsuba is a skateboarder too!

[Never mind that she's just standing there. This is progress!]

This is really cool, whoah! Whoaaah!

[skaterbrain]

[Standing is totes progress. Even if Beat's holding the board to make sure she doesn't go anywhere.]

Ch'yeah, ain't it cool? Skatin's the best freedom out there, yo. You pretty good, Yotsu. You practice, maybe one day you be a skater like me.

1/2

[rollypolyclover]

You really think so?! Yotsu is gonna be a skater!

[Here's something else to add to the pile of things she can try being in her time here.]

It's cool, look, look how cool I can be!!

[Leaning really far over! Further over! As far as she possibly can-!!]

2/2

[rollypolyclover]

[Ah, she fell. Total faceplant onto the ground.]

[skaterbrain]

[.................wow, he totally called that one.

After watching her face meet the ground like the filling of a sandwich, Beat kicks the board up and kneels down next to her.]

Damn, you ate it. You aight, Yotsu?

[rollypolyclover]

I'm okay, Yotsuba isn't gonna cry!!

[Pushing herself up off the floor and giving Beat her best I'M TOTALLY ON THE VERGE OF TEARS BUT NOPE GONNA HOLD IT IN face.]

Gotta be brave!!

[skaterbrain]

[.............................. He looks down at her knees and then pats her off to get some of the dust gone. And wow, she's...so young. It's cute. :<]

Y-yeah! Yotsu's a big tough skateboarder! She ain't gonna cry over this, huh? High five, kid. You just ate your first dirt.

[rollypolyclover]

Just ate dirt, paste tastes better!! Both taste bad though!

[Aw yeah, high five! Holding her hand up as high as she can be cause hey it is a high five after all.]

Now we do a fist bump, right?!

[Yuri taught her about this, fist bumps are like cooler and more powerful high fives! Or something!]

[skaterbrain]

[....oh my god she knows how to fist bump. Let's do it.

He looks at her for a moment, then laughs, holding out his fist instead.]

Ch'yeah, fist bumps're better, yo.

[rollypolyclover]

They're better and more powerful high fives! Like fifty high fives in one!

[Tapping her fist against Beat's. /fist buuump]

Yaaay!

[skaterbrain]

[Yep, he likes you. You got a fist bump and a grin.]

You aight, yanno that, Yotsu?

[rollypolyclover]

... Yotsu is aight, yo yo yo Beat.

[She can totally do the street speak too!]

[skaterbrain]

[Oh, the kid wants lessons? Awesome.]

Naw, you wanna say hello, you say "sup yo."

[rollypolyclover]

Sup yo! Yotsuba can do it too!

[This is so much better than learning about where some hat went in a picture book.]

[skaterbrain]

[Heheheh corrupting the youth.]

Tight, you got it.

[rollypolyclover]

Got anymore!? Yotsu wants to be cool like you! ... No skateboard though, dirt tastes bad.

[skaterbrain]

Yeah, you want more? You can say, "dirt tastes whack, yo" 'stead a' "dirt tastes bad." [There you go, Yotsu. Repeat.]

[rollypolyclover]

Dirt tastes whack, yo! Sup, that's whack!

[Aw yeah, she has this down.

Looking back at the book-- Which yes, she's been doing a good job of ignoring, but now she's looking at it again. With a hushed voice she points over to the book which is 'still asleep' in the bush.]

That's whack yo.

[skaterbrain]

[What huh? He looks over at the book she's pointing at. ...oh. He literally forgot it was there.]

...Naw, that nothing you gotta mind, yo. But it is kinda whack. Dunno why peoples gotta be so up in my face 'bout not bein' a good reader.

[rollypolyclover]

There's nothin' wrong with that yo!

[She reaches over to give Beat a pat on the back.]

Read things is tough, because some words are really long. But you keep trying, and then you get it! Moderation!

[Just showing off one of the 'long words' she knows.]

[skaterbrain]

[O-oh....being....comforted by a 5 year old. sob]

Naw, I just ain't interested in that stuff. Bein' outside's a hellova lot better, yo.
