3 Dolls [Video]

[blacksheepgirl]

Mommy? Mommy, where are you?

[A lopsided video starts as tiny hands turn the guide over, messing with buttons absently. Not much can be seen at first- a shot of the floor, a flash of fabric- before it turns the right way up and gets a good view of the person holding it, looking back at the camera in slight surprise.]

Oh! It turned on!

[Yeah that

Miss Kaoru?

[an_eerie_child]

[!]

Y...yes? That's my name...

[Video]

[quietus_muris]

So, it is you...

[He gives her a soft, gentle smile.]

Miss Kaoru, you don't remember me, do you?

[Video]

[an_eerie_child]

No...should I? I'm sorry...

[switchdan]

[Switch is sitting off to the side. Looking busy and obviously unimportant. Suddenly, from his computer, there comes a voice.]

...Hello.

[an_eerie_child]

[The little girl jumps a bit, staring at the boy with the computer. The voice- from the machine, not his own mouth- had startled her, and she took a cautious step closer. How did he do that?]

...hi.

[switchdan]

[Switch looks over at bitty!Kaoru blandly.]

Looking for somebody?

[The child's inherent eeriness doesn't affect Switch at all. Since he even laughs at Satan.]

[an_eerie_child]

[She meets his blank gaze with one of her own. Stare into the void, Switch.]

Um...I can't find my mommy...

[ineuphony]

...?! Kaoru.

[an_eerie_child]

Uh-huh? [More people that know her name! Briefly wonders if she did something bad around here that she can't remember...]

[ineuphony]

Are you okay?

[an_eerie_child]

U-um...I think I'm lost. I can't find Mommy...

[sapphirearrow]

[Creepy? They're awesome eyes!]

Are you lost, too?

[video]

[an_eerie_child]

[You say that now, but wait until the mindslaving starts.]

Uh-huh. I can't find mommy.

[sapphirearrow]

[Don't be silly. That just means she has superpowers and should join Karen's secret hero team or whatever it's turning into.]

I don't know where Jiiya is, either.

Did we...get left here...?
