[Video] Yotsuba & Presents!

[sunflowerfairy]

[For anyone looking at the network today, they would see a little girl with strange green hair wearing and orange knitted scarf and a pair of knitted green gloves, even though it wasn't really cold out. There was a reason for this, and the girl started chirping, waving her hands in front of the camera so that everyone could see the gloves.]

Good morning! Yotsuba got these things in the mail today, but I dunno who sent them! I don't know if you're a good person, but thank you! Zett said a lot of people use the..ter..termanals, so I hope you'll see this! Thank you a whole lot! Can you tell me what they are though?! Yotsuba doesn't know!

[And with that, the feed would click off. The girl would be watching for any replies though.]

Oh. Well, maybe you will... [Sealand thinks about this for a moment.]

If you ever need to know things, feel free to ask me! I nearly know everything because I'm a nation.

[sunflowerfairy]

I will! But what's a nation?

[bydefacto]

A really important person! It's a person who's also a country, and connected to everyone in that country. I'm the country of Sealand!

[Well, that could probably be explained better, but there's the basics.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[While it was basic, it didn't really help that Yotsuba was missing one key detail.]

Oh..what's a country?

[bydefacto]

It's an... it's a place! You know, like America, or Japan, or France!

Do you... know any of those places?

[He knows many people here don't.]

[sunflowerfairy]

Oh..Yotsuba's from Japan! But I didn't know it was called a country! So you're the president of Sealand?!

[bydefacto]

N-No...! [How to explain this.] I am Sealand. I'm the country of Sealand in the form of a person!

[sunflowerfairy]

Oh..but if the country is now the person, then everyone that lived on you will have to live in boats now! Or go somewhere else!

[She thought that since the country was a person, the people that had once lived on him would have to adjust to life without solid land.]

But how did you become a person? Did someone enchant you?!

[bydefacto]

No, no, Sealand's fort is still there! People still live there! Well, mostly. Sometimes. I still live there. Or-- I... I did.

[He frowns, looking upset. Micronations are perhaps special cases... He wonders if this is just confusing Yotsuba more.]

We're both Sealand, you see. Me and the place people live... Lived.

[He has to keep reminding himself his world is gone.]

[sunflowerfairy]

[While Yotsuba wouldn't know what the word past-tense meant if someone ever used it in front of her, she could see that Sealand was sad. And, since he was a good person, she wasn't gonna let him be sad!]

Oh! Okay then! So you and the land are joined! Yotsuba understands! But don't worry! The grown-ups are gonna fix everything! The land will be fine..and so will the people! The bodies will be normal again so the souls can live in them! Don't worry!

[bydefacto]

Oh- I- I know that!

[He shakes himself, looking more flustered and frustrated than upset now, actually a little annoyed that she's the one making him feel better when he wanted her to look up to him.]

My friend Aleph told me everything. I'm... I'm even helping! [He's not... really, at all. But. He is in spirit.] We'll get home soon, I know, I'm not worried about that.

[sunflowerfairy]

[Not that Yotsuba would really understand why Sealand was mad if he told her she was. After all, she was doing her best to be a support to everyone, especially the grown-ups, so it didn't matter who she cheered up, as long as they were good people! And Sealand was a good boy!]

Oh?! Really?! I don't know A..Aleph, but how are you helping?! Are you being a support too?! Yotsuba's being a support, like Luci, since I'm good at cheering people up and giving hugs!

[bydefacto]

Oh. Yeah, I can be a support... [He thinks for a moment, before quickly adding:] But I'll help with the fighting and stuff, too! Aleph's going to teach me how to sword fight. Diarmuid is giving me a sword, and then I'll be trained up, and I'll get as strong as the adults! And be good for important missions!

[sunflowerfairy]

Really?! That super awesome, Sealand! Yotsuba can use a sling, but Dia didn't wanna give me a sword! That's super awesome! If the grown-ups will let you help, that's great! I'll support you too, so let me know whenever you get reallly sad, okay?! I'll give you a biiig hug!
