Pico | Rune Factory 4

Arrival

A:
AGGRGGRBBLPB!!!

[Pico was... not having an easy time. She hadn't exactly experienced the whole living, breathing, human thing in a very long time, and she'd sort of died before she ever learned how to swim. The lady of the lake and the friendly neighborhood turtles basically had to work double time for this little girl, and she's left gasping and panting on the shore.]

Do... Dolly? Where's Dolly?

[And... that's pretty much all anyone can get out of her for the first few minutes.]

WHERE! IS! MY! DOLLY?!?!?!

[Yup... she's definitely not happy.]

B: Bleh... I forgot how... bleh... being alive feels.

[She seems to have finally gotten over the whole Dolly debacle, but she's looking a bit squeamish while riding in the caravan. This is made a lot worse whenever she tries to use her magical rectangle she's told is a phone.]

Urrrgh... I don't... I don't like it...

C: Hnnnngh! Rrrrrrgh! Hiiiiiinnnnngggh! DANGIT!

[There is a little girl trying her best to flap her arms as if it will somehow magically make herself fly, or taller, or something, and she's staring longingly at a jar of cookies just out of reach.]

Come on you! It's bad enough that I don't get to go through walls, or fly, but I can't even enjoy something simple about being alive like cookies?! Come! To! PICO!

[Aaaand now she's jumping up and down, trying to reach said jar of cookies that once again, are too high up for someone of her size to reach.]

Grrr, GRRRR!

Snow Games

A:
BWAHAHAHA!!! Beware puny mortals! For the time has come for the ultimate team up of Pico and [Insert character name here]! Now! Let us sally forth and-!

[Aaaand she trips and falls on her face because she totally forgot she's tethered to her partner, and they're probably bigger than she is.]

DOH!

B: Not a bad choice picking me as your partner you know~! I may be new, and I may not be the best at my magic, but I'm super lightweight and smart! Together we can totally win this race!

[Pico is feeling actually surprisingly enthusiastic about this particular challenge. Back in Selphia they had festivals and challenges, but racing was never one of them, and she actually was able to feel the wind on her face and the rush that came from a sled race!]

I'm working with the best magic of all for racing though, Kinetic! I'll speed us up, or slow down our foes, or push aside any obstacles, just you wait!

[She uh... probably will only be able to ever so slightly do any of those things because she barely understands the basic concepts of how to do things with magic here so... good luck.]

C: KYAAAAA!!! THIS WAS A BAD IDEA, BAD IDEA!

[Oops... Pico was not used to being alive and having giant yeti coming at her and her partner. She could feel the ground tremble, she could feel the cold snow, and she could feel her tiny limbs grappling her buddy as she tries to stay on their shoulders. She's not super cowardly or anything since dying isn't exactly that big a deal to her, but she doesn't like getting other people hurt!

She's pretty tiny, so easy to carry around the playing field but... she's also relatively useless.]


HEY! MISTER YETI! LOOK OVER THERE, A DISTRACTION!

[Oh look she used her kinetic magic to try and throw a snowball at the back of its head... maybe it's distracted?]

Mirror Mirror

A:
Aww, not again!

[Pico is just stamping her foot angrily at the sight before her. It's apparent that nor much scares this girl, but what little does, annoys or angers her more than it scares her.]

Dolly snap out of it already!

[She's stomping over and... kicking whatever illusion is there, which seems to make it dissipate into a small little light spirit.]

Wait you're not Dolly... Oh. Okay.

[So... I guess she wasn't terribly afraid?]

B: AGGRGGRBBLPB!!! NOT AGAI-bbrrbbblll

[Aaaaaaaand Pico fell into the rapids and is drowning... a little help anyone? She was quite full of confidence that she was pure of heart, all she had to do was think of Dolly and surely anyone could realize she had only the most pure and wholesome intentions.

...

Obviously the universe did not agree with this assessment.]


C: It's so... pretty.

[Pico is just... poking her nose into all the things throughout the city. She eventually passed her trial of pure of heart, and was able to find her way to the lost crystalline city where she is trying her best to befriend the local populace despite their shy or unfriendly nature.]

Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt ya! See? I'm just... well... a little girl! Boop.

[She tries to reach out to poke one of them with a dainty finger, but they scurry off before she can make contact, and she pouts.]

Wait up! I just wanted to be friends! [siiiiiiigh] I guess Dolly is the only one who will ever fully understand me.
