Video - Lilo Has a New Toy

[andstitch]

"Whoa! This is so cool!"

[The kid has the screen right up to her eye then pulls it back to a more normal distance.]

"I could film all sorts of cool things with this! Like space mummy vampires from Mars! But first I'm gonna need some actors. Oh! I wonder if this thing can call Jumba! Then he can make me all sorts of new actors!"

[Someone was bouncing like she'd had too much sugar.]

Comments

[3wingedangel]

"Hm." Sephiroth pondered a moment, suddenly wondering a bit if at least some of the strange things Lilo did were to get attention from Nani. "I suppose she has to work to have enough money for all of you to have a house and utilities and food."

[andstitch]

"Cobra Bubbles says that our family's 'tected now. So she shouldn't hafta. I think she just likes being busy all the time..."

[3wingedangel]

"... Cobra Bubbles?" That sounded like a name a child would make up. "Who is that?"

[andstitch]

"The social worker," she said, unhelpfully.

[3wingedangel]

"Ah. You need a social worker?" Hopefully not because of the trouble Lilo got into.

[andstitch]

She shrugged. "He comes around sometimes."

[3wingedangel]

"Just to check on you?" Or was it more serious than that?

[andstitch]

"And Sitch. Even though he's not banished anymore."

[3wingedangel]

"The social worker has jurisdiction over Stitch?"

[andstitch]

"Yep. He trapped the councilwoman so she trapped him," she said with a bright smile.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth wasn’t sure he understood that comment, nor was he sure he wanted to. But he still ended up asking, “Why was the councilwoman trapped?”

[andstitch]

"Because she couldn't just blow up Earth." See? Makes perfect sense. If you had been there at the time and knew all the context...

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth gave her a blank look. “Yes, I would hope not.”

[andstitch]

"So he trapped her."

[3wingedangel]

“Of course. How logical.” He might be sarcastic or he might mean it.

[andstitch]

"Exactly!" she said, taking it at face value.

[3wingedangel]

“Why did the councilwoman want to blow up Earth?” he asked.

[andstitch]

"Cause she thought Stitch was a monster who didn't know anything 'bout Ohana."

[3wingedangel]

“… And so she wanted to destroy an entire planet to kill him?” Sephiroth frowned.

[andstitch]

"Well...it's not like anything else is probably going to kill him." She was unbothered by this.

[3wingedangel]

That was … disturbing.

“So she cared nothing for billions of lives just to get at Stitch,” Sephiroth frowned.

[andstitch]

"They didn't know much about Earth," she said, shrugging. "She thought that mosquitoes are an endangered species."

[3wingedangel]

“None of this explains why an Earth social worker would be watching Stitch,” Sephiroth remarked.

[andstitch]

"Well he was visiting us first. Then we got Stitch. Then he came back."

[3wingedangel]

“Ah. And Stitch didn’t endear himself to the man?”
