Yuu no!

Disney Yuu: Whistle while you work.

Edit 8/26/23

------------------------------------------------

Despite its years of abandonment, Ramshackle managed to maintain a surprisingly fair condition. Once forgotten, it now harbors an unusual mix of inhabitants, both living and otherwise. Among them were three distinct ghosts: Viss, the towering specter; Gooey-Louie, a more substantial and plump apparition; and the diminutive Casper, as Yuu had fondly dubbed them. The ghostly trio seemed content with these monikers, responding to no other names.

Adding to the eclectic cast was Grim, the feline-weasel hybrid, a creature as enigmatic as the world itself. Alongside them was a magic-lacking human, Yuu, who navigated this curious gathering with a sense of wonder.

Ramshackle was no longer an empty shell; life had returned to its aged walls. Once dormant, utilities hummed with activity again—water flowing, lights flickering to life. The floors bore the marks of time, their hardwood surfaces scuffed and covered in a thick layer of dust, yet they seemed to have been treated and cared for, as evidenced by Yuu's bounding without fear of crashing through to the floor below.

Peeling wallpaper was easily remedied, and broken furniture could be stowed away in a vacant storage room for future repairs. Yuu adored the rustic charm of Ramshackle's worn-down aesthetics, but beneath the surface, they longed for a cozier ambiance. A fusion of history and comfort—a retreat from the world's oddities—was their aspiration for the place they now call home.

As Yuu moved through the corridors of Ramshackle, meticulously noting down the layout and every corner of the manor, they found themselves humming a tune from the past—a melody once sung by an old friend. The juxtaposition struck them: the transformation of a dilapidated house into a warm, inviting home. What would people think? Would it be the curiosity of a brewing storm or the quizzical stares from strangers that felt weirder? Yuu mulled over the questions, ultimately deciding that there was little harm in their actions. After all, "Whistle While You Work" was just a song associated with cleaning, and the bizarre occurrences, like the monster, could be one-off events.

Returning to the front hall, Yuu's humming gave life to the familiar notes of Whistle While You Work. As the melody filled the air, a charming phenomenon unfolded. Creatures as small as mice and as innocent as little deer appeared at the doors and windows of Ramshackle. Yuu welcomed them all with an open heart, inviting them into their newfound home.

"Hello there, are you here to lend a hand in cleaning?" Yuu addressed the gathering, a small bird alighting on their outstretched palm. A nod from the creature seemed like an affirmation.

"Fantastic. You guy, a little bunch of rabbits, can tackle this room," Yuu directed, pointing to the furry animal. "And you, dear birds, could assist with cleaning the fireplace. The rest of you, feel free to tidy up anywhere you wish. As for me, I'll handle things with this trusty broom."

With a sense of camaraderie and an eclectic group of companions, Yuu set to work, sweeping and tidying with undeniable enthusiasm. The once-neglected house was slowly turning into something lively and cozy, a haven not just for Yuu but for the creatures who had now joined their mission of transforming Ramshackle into a true home.

~ Just whistle while you work.

And cheerfully, together, we'll tidy up this place.

So, hum a merry tune.

It won't take long when there's a song to set the pace. ~

Yuu stood witness to a remarkable sight as the animals around them engaged in the cleaning process. An army of forest creatures mobilized, each with a purpose and an efficiency that spoke volumes. Squirrels took charge of the dusty railings, the mantle, and the worn bricks, their bushy tails serving as makeshift brooms before they beat the dust out onto the windowsills. Rats and turtles diligently transported discarded tools and plates into the kitchen. A buck, laden with dirty rags and aprons, stumbled along behind them, contributing in its ungainly manner.
