011 Video: UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

[The video starts with the sound of a glass crashing onto the ground and a very soft 'oh dear...' as Snow comes into view. Faramund is holding the Omni.

Snow White is covered in tiny bruises and cuts, all of them random and sporadic as if she was careless with a knife or one of her animal friends wasn't quite careful enough with their claws or teeth. The bruises from being knocked into or bumping into things and some are green and yellow from healing, some are fresh and purple, and all of them are small and little. She pushes back a stray strand of hair that has come out from her well-kept bob.

On the floor is a whole pitcher of milk completely spilled and mixed with broken glass. Snow sighs again as she looks at it.

It's literally spilled milk.]

It... [Two little birds hand her a towel, and three raccoons push a bin over to where Snow White is kneeling down. A young wolf brings her a small dust brush in its jaws. She begins to carefully put the bigger pieces into the bin as she turns to look at Faramund.] It seems I'm not having a very good week... [She looked over to Faramund.]

It seems I've upset our kobold, Farmund, though I'm not sure what we did. We'll have to find a way to apologize. [She winces as she cuts her finger on a piece of glass and hisses softly.]

This and the lock snapping on the apple's chest are proof of it.

Does anyone know how to make a kobold happy again? I certainly didn't mean to insult it.

Comments

[onebadapple]

Oh, that would be very nice, actually. I hope there is something to help with this bad luck. Everyone says it isn't my kobold.

[thunderingcourage]

Well if anyone knows, the people at the boardwalk will know what to pick up. And there have been a few coming in lately for Roses I could ask as well. But I really do think it's something besides your friend, because a lot of people have been having bad luck lately.

[onebadapple]

That's true, they're so very kind in helping us out. Have you been having bad luck, Makoto?

[thunderingcourage]

Not really, so you don't have to worry. My luck has pretty much been the same that it always has been. Probably because I haven't really been doing much lately, we've been so busy.

[onebadapple]

Well, at least someone is there to keep the bakery and flower shop going, at this rate, I would likely burn everything or cause everything to wilt!

[thunderingcourage]

We'd find a way to make it work. It's never quite the same without you8r shiny smile around to cheer the flowers up and all of your friends from getting into too much mischief.

[onebadapple]

Awww Makoto! You're so sweet. You're making me blush! Well, if you don't mind the odd accident, I'll be happy to come in.

[thunderingcourage]

Accidents are going to happen even on our best days. At least if you're here we can deal with them together.

[onebadapple]

That's very true, and you're always so calm under pressure!

[thunderingcourage]

You're not so bad yourself. You stayed perfectly calm and really helped me out when I have those vines draining me dry.

[onebadapple]

My stepmother is scarier than most things that happen here, if I may say, so I suppose so long as she isn't here, I'll be as calm as a clam.

[thunderingcourage]

She must be a real witch. If she ever shows up just let me know and I'll show her not to mess with you again. But yeah you're strong enough to face anything that comes our way.

[onebadapple]

She did practice black magic, yes. [Snow isn't the sort to insult people, even her stepmother, mostly because she's still so desperately clinging to being loved by her.]

And thank you, most people are so surprised by how well I take care of myself.

[thunderingcourage]

I've been there, and it's not easy but it can be annoying everyone trying to do everything for you too. Sometimes just having a little support and someone believe in you is all you need.

[onebadapple]

Oh, I don't know that I've ever been annoyed. But... it is nice to be supported, that is much more recent and I've been very thankful for all of it.

[thunderingcourage]

Wow, I can think of plenty of times when I've been annoyed because someone insisted on doing something because they didn't think I'd be able to handle it.

[onebadapple]

I think it's because they just worry about us, I would say most people our age aren't tasked with being so responsible but that isn't really true from what I've seen.

I think people just wish we didn't have to be SO responsible, instead.
