[41] ...I've seen this show before

[notarrowette]

[Hello, Barge. Have a video of a little girl's room. There's a lot of purple and white and Disney posters. But it is ABSURDLY NEAT, like something out of a catalog--or like someone else cleans it. It's also huge. There's even a fancy canopy bed. It's made. You can't see Cissie yet, but she carries the camera over to the VERY NEAT desk and

Can you even sing?

[notarrowette]

No! I had voice lessons when I was little, but my teacher told Mom she was wasting her money! Ohmygod, Icannot do this again.

[peektuttut]

Just take a deep breath, we're only here for a few days.

[notarrowette]

[This face, Tim. This. Face.]

Easy for you to say! You're not nine! [Wait. Waait.] ...What are you stuck with?

[future_games]

...What kid even has the ability to keep their room that clean?

[notarrowette]

I have no idea! What kind of kid gets perfect attendance?

[Waaaait a minute.] ...Isaac?

[future_games]

Yeah, it's me. Hi, Cissie. [He regrets leaving the barge.:|]

[notarrowette]

Hi. [Yeah, so does she. :|] How old are you?

[batmanschmatman]

Baseball not good enough for you?

[notarrowette]

[LONG PAUSE] ...You're right. It could be worse. I could play baseball. Oh please let there be no baseball...

[batmanschmatman]

Hopefully not. Lacrosse seems like it'd be a conflict.

[notarrowette]

That and it's baseball. [Ohgod the horror]

{Holmes shuffles through photographs. So many photographs. He's barely had two pictures taken of himself in his life and now there are reams of them-what is this nonsense? Holmes' greeting toward the young girl is very much that of a grandmother greeting her favourite princess of a granddaughter.}

Ah, Miss. There appear to be quite a number of photographs of you, and of us, here. {And...Iago?} In this specimen, we are in front of some frankly massive amount of iron scaffolding, in a quite appallingly garish colour.

{After a flourish and holding it a comfortable viewing distance from his camera, Holmes is presenting a photograph of a Cissie not much younger standing next to himself in front of a roller coaster.}

[Video]

[notarrowette]

[Cissie's going to take a minute to stare at that, because... okay, weird.]

That's... a roller coaster. I think--wait. [And she's just spotted some pictures on her dresser. Here, she'll show you one from what looks like a birthday party!] I think we're related?

...I'm Cissie. I'm usually--older.

[so_meretricious]

Curious, {Holmes has a fond smile.} How very interesting. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Cissie. I extend an open invitation, should you wish to visit. It would be ever a delight.

...I do hope you like cats.

{Come get a hug from Auntie Sherlock!}

[Video]

[notarrowette]

I have a cat! ...On the Barge. But thank you, that would be nice. ...If I knew where you lived?

[my_freeze_ray]

Chorus? Eew. What you should do is help a couple of the other kids into 'accidents', and make a grab for lead.

...I really wanted to introduce myself when I was myself, but hello. I'm Molly--your new warden.

...I'm usually a lot taller than this.

[OOC: I really WAS going to introduce Molly before port, but you were hiatused, and then it was aaaaalmost port-time, and I didn't want it to get buried, so hello!]

[my_freeze_ray]

Oh, right! Hey Molly, I'm... well, I guess you know, but I'm Billy. [Little wave, BIG SMILE.] So, uh, you got all tiny for the port, I guess?

[OOC: Dude, I TOTALLY GET IT! I was actually really relieved that you didn't intro her before port, because I was swamped with the tiny bit of rping I had prearranged to do! I only got rid of Jessi yesterday, so this is a good intro <3]

[goodgrasshopper]

[small growl from a very small person] Uh--yeah. I can't even see over the counters. [sigh and smile] Nice to meet you--so who are you supposed to be in this mess?

[OOC: I thought it might be something like that, so YAY!]
