[ With a bit of fumbling, a chubby ginger kid stares into the communicator, his chin wobbling with barely restrained tears. In one of his pudgy little hands, he's clutching a certain mauve cape rather protectively. ]

Mom? [ Pause. His eyes are brimming now, dear god. ]

Does― Does anyone know where Sienna Blake is? She... used to be in the movies

video; WHY DOES LJ DO ANYTHING

[improvesmorale]

What's the last thing you remember?

video; WHY, LJ. WHY.

[tabbykid]

I was playing with one of my stuffed animals in the manor? I think I fell asleep.

[improvesmorale]

Back in your home world. In Gotham.

[tabbykid]

I'm not in Gotham anymore?

[improvesmorale]

I'm not made for this.

Listen, your mom's not here. You're here on your own. Are you in your apartment?

[tabbykid]

I'm... in front of the building I woke up in. [ He waves the cape clutched in his hand. ] I found this in there?

[improvesmorale]

Was there a big screen with a woman in there?

[tabbykid]

No, it was just a pretty empty one-story, um. I guess it was an apartment?

[ Oddly: ] The fridge had a lot of raw meat in there. And eggs.

[improvesmorale]

You were probably in your apartment.

[tabbykid]

But it looks so... poor. I'm not a poor person.

[improvesmorale]

Maybe the adult you is a poor person. You shouldn't be attaching your identity to wealth, anyway.

[tabbykid]

The adult me? Is this supposed to be the future or something?
