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

[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...

[switchdan]

[Switch is protected by his fake glasses, I guess. He's unfazed.]

Well, if you stay in one place, she's more likely to find you.

[an_eerie_child]

But if I don't look for her she won't know where I am! [Ah, the logic of a small child.]

[switchdan]

But what if she comes looking for you here and you're already looking for her somewhere else?[Oh, Switch. Do you live to confuse small children?]

[an_eerie_child]

[Looks down at her feet and thinks about this for a while...]

But...what if she doesn't come looking for me?

[switchdan]

[Crud. Sad child. TUG AT SWITCH'S HEARTSTRINGS WHY DON'T YOU.]

I'm sure your mom is really worried about you. Why wouldn't she come looking for you?

[an_eerie_child]

[tug tug LET ME MAKE IT WORSE]

I don't think...mommy likes me very much. Maybe she left me here because I was bad...

[switchdan]

[NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you'll make him try to adopt her as a mini sibling.]

If she left you behind, then she's the bad one. Nobody should be abandoned by their parents.

[Switch lost his brother due to his own mistake. He always tends to feel responsible for kiddies.]

Do you want me to help you look, then?
