Again?

[Huge brown eyes fill the screen. The little girl is examining the Forge much too closely, although she does know this time that the video is on. It's rather dark around her, but the Forge casts enough light to show some clothing hanging behind her and Hayate sitting beside her. She seems to have taken the dog and hidden herself away in the

...what's with the sudden kiddie influx? Did I wander into one of those McDonalds with the playground?

I mean, if so, it's a really big playground.

[firebornfidelis]

[said rather matter-of-factly:]

I'm not in a playground. This is a closet.

[stakesthings]

What are you doing in there?

[man, she could kill for some fries right now.]

[firebornfidelis]

There are all kinds of guns in the other room.

[Amusingly, there is only one in the actual gun cabinet behind her, mostly obscured by some hanging clothes.]

Um. And none of the doors go outside. So I couldn't figure out how to leave.

[stakesthings]

...usually doors in rooms lead to halls instead of outside. Unless it's a kitchen. Or a living room. Or-- you know what? There's a lot of "or"s, but doors going to other indoor places are a pretty common occurrence.

[firebornfidelis]

But I don't want to get caught by the person with the guns.

[Just. Staring.]

There's no McDonald's in Anatole, Buffy. And that's [whoa. Again?] Riza, but how come I'm not ten this ti---

---what happened to your hair?

oh ho ho

[firebornfidelis]

My hair? Um...

[She looks a just little embarrassed.]

It's hard to brush it when it's long. So I thought it would be easier if it was short.

WELL HI

[girl_unlocking]

[firebornfidelis]

Oh. Um. Th-thank you.

That's your big sister?

[girl_unlocking]

Yup. Sometimes this place is not so bad. [Can you hear the grin in her voice?] Is Hayate's ball lying around? He really like his ball, by the way.

Are you alone? [Because that's not cool if you are.]

[firebornfidelis]

His ball? I'll get it for him before we leave.

[She'll have to make a special sneaky mission to try and find it without getting caught by the gun person.]

I've got Hayate. And I'm supposed to go find a little boy called Spencer because he's by himself, too. Only it's his first time here and I was here before.

that should have been *likes >.<

[girl_unlocking]

Oh! Spence is little too?! H-how did I miss this? Where did he say he was?

'salright, I got you XD

[firebornfidelis]

You know Spencer, too?

Um. I think he's in that big apartment building by the Door thing.

[She gives Spencer's room number.]

[girl_unlocking]

[Huge sigh of relief] Oh, good. That's probably the best place to be. Except maybe the clinic, but...

...are you guys gonna be all right?

[video]

[firebornfidelis]

[She nods.]

We'll be okay. I know where stuff is, so we won't get lost.
