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

[andstitch]

"We make 'em help. I'm good at that. You'll see."

[3wingedangel]

"Oh, I see." He half-wanted to ask, but he didn't want to give her any inadvertent suggestions. "Well, we'll be sure to call on you when we find them."

[andstitch]

"That's too slow. We should go looking for them."

[3wingedangel]

"And where do you think we might find them?" He was very amused, but he was actually taking her comments under consideration.

[andstitch]

She considered. "We should look for a place where the microwave and toaster keep vanishing." She felt better now that she had a goal.

[3wingedangel]

"Really. That's what the evil scientists do in your world: make kitchen appliances vanish?"

[andstitch]

"Only when he needs parts. Nani said he's not allowed to take apart the car or the fridge anymore."

[3wingedangel]

"Nani is also able to make evil scientists behave?" Amused again.

[andstitch]

She nodded. "Sometimes. She is the one who does the grocery shopping..."

[3wingedangel]

"Your life sounds very interesting." Never a dull moment. He highly doubts she's making all of this up.

[andstitch]

"Grocery shopping... sounds interesting?" That made no sense.

[3wingedangel]

“Dealing with so many evil scientists sounds interesting,” he said. “It sounds like it’s an every day occurrence for you.”

[andstitch]

"Oh it's mostly just my uncle Jumba. Except when Hamsterwheel breaks out of jail. But he's mostly just good at making other people do evil things for him."

[3wingedangel]

That does surprise him.

“Jumba is an evil scientist?”

[andstitch]

Lilo nodded. "Uh huh. He created lots of evil 'speriments."

[3wingedangel]

“And yet you spoke of him fondly.”

[andstitch]

"Oh course! He's ohana."

[3wingedangel]

“You are quite devoted to that concept.” It intrigued him.

[andstitch]

"Of course I am! It's ohana!" She stopped, tilted her head. "what's devoted mean anyway? Like I wanted someone else to win?"

[3wingedangel]

"No," Sephiroth said, further amused. "It means you are loyal to it and care about it very much."

He hadn't seen quite that level of caring back home.

[andstitch]

"Then why does the word have voted in it? Is this one of those things where an adult lies to a kid so the ki doesn't figure out they're secretly a vampire or something?"

[3wingedangel]

"I promise it isn't like that at all," Sephiroth said. What an imaginative child.

[andstitch]

"Are you sure? Cause my big sister Nani's old boss at the luau was a vampire. And he lied about firing her. He said it was cause me an Stitch caused trouble, but Nani told me the truth. She refused to join his vile cult of the undead. I mean... it would have been okay if she had. A vampire sister could have been cool. And then I could do whatever I wanted outside during the day!"

[3wingedangel]

Well. That certainly wasn't what he expected to hear.

"He just let her leave unharmed when she refused?"

[andstitch]

"Uh huh. Nani can be scary when she's angry. And anyway. She woulda told everyone bout him if he attacked her, not just me. This way he blamed it all on me and my dog. Of course the woman my dog attacked was my aunt Pleakly anyway. His head always looks like that. He was more upset about losing the wig, I think."
