[Czeslaw is sitting in the middle of the floor of his single bedroom, cutting a doll-shape in folded up paper]

Mama had a baby and his head popped off~ [He makes a poorly-placed snip. When he unfolds the dolls, the whole row is headless.]

I want to build a playhouse, a secret base - no, a fort. Where should I make it, hm? It's too bad we can't go

[ That's kind of morbid. But to answer the question... ]

Asking for recommendations kind of defeats the purpose of it being secret, right?

If I get lots of suggestions, it'll throw people off the scent if they never know which one I pick! [cheerfully]

I guess that logic works.

Is this going to be a kids-only fort?

video forever;

[tiny_schemer]

Of course. Why else would we make one?

[topslug]

Then you should build it somewhere only kids can get to.

[tiny_schemer]

...Ooh, good idea! Some place with a small entrance!

[topslug]

Right!

What are you planning to build a fort for, though?

[tiny_schemer]

To play in! And to be safe from the bad things out there. And the bad grown-ups.

[topslug]

[ And she looks. And considers, finally-- ]

The first one's easy, but the other two might be hard.

Besides, you don't seem like the sort of boy to be scared of grown-ups, or bad things. [ It's just a feeling-- one she's uncertain about. ]

[tiny_schemer]

No? [blink blink] What sort of boy do I seem like?

[topslug]

A smart one.

[ Too smart to ever be intimidated by any adult, at least. ]

[tiny_schemer]

Thank you. I like to read and stuff.

[topslug]

We've talked a couple of times, haven't we?

I don't think I ever got your name... Mine's Yako. Yako Katsuragi.

[tiny_schemer]

I'm Benjamin. It's nice to meet you, Miss Yako.
