[Abigail likes attention. It's the motivating factor in almost everything she does. And as a child, she's pretty much lost all cunning.

Her voice recorder kicks on and a little 8-year old Puritan starts throwing the biggest damn tantrum on earth, with all the histrionics that entails - screaming, sobbing, and utter hysterics.]You cannot ply me

Be quiet.

Robert is too polite to do it himself, so is grateful, but don't expect backup!

Shinzon never does. :< But kids are weird, man.

You're not my papa! You can't order me about!

STOP YELLING YOU'RE BEING AN IDIOT.

[itweresport]

I AM NOT, RUTH! How dare you say so! Are you not my friend?!

[you_run_i_chase]

I'm not your friend! I'm not Ruth! My name is Miss Parker, and I'm not friends with people who scream like ninnies. If you keep screaming I AM GOING TO OUT SCREAM YOU. I CAN DO IT!

[itweresport]

YOU CANNOT!

Miss Williams, if you don't cease this behaviour at once, all of your unnecessary possessions- including all of your books- will be leaving your possession very suddenly, and you won't see them until you behave like a proper young lady.

You are cruel, Doctor! You are cruel!

[a_bit_put_upon]

I am merely being reasonable. If you wish to be treated as if you are nineteen years of age, then you will act accordingly. You must earn the respect and privileges you enjoy. Screaming is very much the opposite of earning.

After all, I could hardly expect to be called a man if I went around telling people to call me a girl on pain of death, now, could I?

That boy says he will shutter me, Doctor! Do not lecture me and spare him!!

When you do that, you only reinforce the stereotype that we're all dumb whiners.

...I don't think anyone's accusing you of what the older version of you did. I'm innocent too.

I really hope I'm not here for being an assassin.

[itweresport]

Then they must send me home!

[pleasesmirk]

They ought to send me home too, but the older versions of us must be here for some reason, mustn't they? That's what they keep saying.

I mean, if there's some conspiracy or something... but it sort-of makes sense, if wizards were involved.

[itweresport]

Aye, and witches.
