[02] hologram;

[eternalritual]

... Hello?

[ There's a slightly faulty hologram of a young girl speaking on the network. It flickers and distorts once in a while, but overall remains in one piece. She looks nervous, cautious, hands clasped against her chest as she speaks up again. ]

Hello - oh!

[ Automated audio; the voice doesn't fit quite right. Surprised, she covers her

[Cindy is just going to press her face as close to the hologram as possible so you get a nice clear view of a gaping helmet window in your video feed.]

....Hello?

Hologram.

[eternalritual]

Ah!

[It's... that person with the red light helmet. Mayu keeps her hands close to her face, eyes wide as she stares up. The apprehension in her expression and body language don't quite translate when she "speaks".]

... Hello.

[thiswaydaddy]

Hello.

[Cindy parrots back at her again and pulls back just slightly. This ghost looks an awful lot like a girl, and she fails to associate it with the butterfly from before. Still, as per usual, she simply stares and waits for instructions.]

Hologram.

[Yeah, it's that helmet. This person never hurt her before... and they won't now, right? She eases up a bit, lowers her hands slightly, watching to see if they'll say or do anything.]

Oh, hello?

[Kaylee waves a little at the camera. She's never seen this girl around, is she new? Did she just get here?]

Hello. [The girl lowers her hands, smiles a bit, then bows slightly in greeting. A bit shy, but...]

[Kaylee unconsciously mimics her and smiles brightly.]

You okay? Didja just get here?

Hologram.

[You look harmless, Kaylee. Mayu likes this. Her feet shift a little against what would be the ground (I guess).]

I think I'm okay. And... it wasn't today, but... [She looks thoughtful, as if trying to remember just when she got here.]

[Oh hi nice lady. Have some dragon noises and bad Impact subtitles.]

Hello!

[standaloneshell]

[At first Motoko's only interested because it's a child, alone and clearly confused- and then because she's seen this ID before. She does something that she'll only very rarely allow- and switches the video feed on.]

Hello. Are you alright?
