Video, un: Mariposa

[nonmagical]

WHO: Mirabel and the network
WHERE: Casita
WHEN: 5/27
WHAT: Mirabel gets her own room!
WARNINGS: Idk man

[The video feed opens with a glowing door. It has Mirabel on it! And a butter churn on it, she guesses to symbolize her new butter powers. Mirabel is absolutely dreading on what’s on the other side of this door.]

So… Casita gave me a room for my new Gift. I finally have my own door now.

[Her voice is a little tense as her arm appears in frame, reaching out to turn the doorknob.]

Haven’t seen my new room yet, but… I’m sure it’ll be - oh. Oh no.

[As she opens the door, she gets hit with a blast of cold air. But that’s not what the “oh no” is for - as it turns out, she’s entered a bright, yellow room.

With butter furniture.

The furniture is literally made out of butter. Luckily the floor is still made of wood, and a few planks rustle in place as if to ask “do you like it?” Mirabel just stares in absolute horror. The camera pans around and it’s just so much butter. Too much yellow. It’s a mess.]

It’s uh…. It’s great, Casita. Thanks.

[Mirabel turns the camera onto herself finally, her voice a whisper.]

Okay so how do I break it to a magic house that I can’t actually live in a room full of butter!

It would be fun riiiight up until you skid across the floor and get butter all over your clothes.

But we'll definitely see about getting you a proper bed.

Right, that's the thing right there. I don't want butter-covered clothing.

Thanks, mamá. I really want to make this room mine.

As I said, we can move the dresser and armoire out of the nursery. Casita will understand. Besides, the nursery isn't going to be used like that anymore. We could turn it into something else entirely.

We could make the nursery into whatever we want! Lots of options! I guess it'd have to be Casita-approved though.

What do you think it should be? [On the one hand, it was Mirabel's room for 15 years so she has every right to decide what that room will be. On the other, Dolores, Isabel, Luisa, Camilo, and Antonio also had that room for a nursery, so it would be unfair to not let them have a say in the room as well. Perhaps they could vote from the options Mirabel gave, that might be the fairest.]
