[A five year old in a cut-off yukata that's way too big for him appears on the screen, out in the middle of what appears to be a bustling market. He looks and sounds as if he's been running for a little while.]
O-okay, I think I got away.
[He checks over his shoulder just to make sure, and appears satisfied.]
I'm Sasori and I'm from Suna. I think all

You okay? Huh?

[He smiles, a bit proud that he was able to get away.]
I'm okay! I climbed out the window and I wasn't scared! And I have some kunai.
Were you kidnapped too?

Nothing scary about a window! I crawl out of them all the time, but Mom yells at me. Says [His voice goes up six octaves.] "They make doors for a reason!" [And it's back to normal.] but doors are booooring. [Pause.] Hey,what's a kuney? [Oh, yes, how he mangles his words. And has six thoughts at once.]
Dunno! Must've, but there's no grownups here...

Sasori frowns a little bit and points up at the multistory building he's standing next to.]
It was up at the top like this building. I can use chakra to climb. My granny's teaching me how to be a ninja like my mom and dad.
[He nods emphatically in agreement about doors.]
Yeah! Ninjas don't use doors.
Oh...a kunai is one of these.
[He digs around in the kunai pouch he also swiped, and pulls out one of the blades.]
My mom taught me how to throw them. She's a great ninja too!
You should get away from there. What if the bad guys come back?
Reply
[She gasps, looks around her, blinks.]
There's no one here with me, and I don't remember anyone. But. Well, I don't want to be here if they come back or something. Maybe I should get out, too?
Do you think this guy would kidnap an adult? Because the guy I was talking to on thisinternetthingie sounds really freaked out! He doesn't even know his name!

I climbed out the window and I wasn't scared! I'm gonna be a ninja like my mom and dad and granny.
[He looks serious again after a moment though.]
Maybe it'd be safer to get away from there in case they come back.
[And he looks surprised.]
I talked to him too and he sounded scared. Maybe he was kidnapped too, Deidara's a ninja so he could do it maybe.

[She snatches up the forge and moves toward the door, stopping to gasp suddenly.]
There are big, funny looking shoes by the bed! Made of metal!
[And she's out the door like a flash, glaring back in her room's direction]
I bet it's a monster with no toes or something. And I still bet this is all Buffy's fault.
[She nods.]
I'm gonna find him. Maybe we should call the Princess. I mean Prince to help. She had a ring and everything.

There are monsters with no toes? Ghosts have no legs...
[He thinks this is a good idea, finding that guy. He sounded scared.]
He sounded like he needed help, so you should find him.
A prince is pretty tough too. We should work together.

[She takes a deep breath. Clearly her escape got her adrenaline going.]
But this dog came with me. Sasori, you don't think he's the bad guy's dog, do you? He's a really nice dog.
[She turns the Forge to show Sasori the little shiba inu that's following her around. He really does look very friendly.]
Reply
[He considers the dog carefully before voicing his assessment.]
It looks like a nice dog. A bad guy's dog would look mean so I think it's a good dog.
...Maybe the dog was kidnapped too!
Reply
[She looks relieved that Sasori doesn't think the dog is bad.]
Oh, no! Maybe he was!
[She turns to the animal and lays an arm around his neck, threading her fingers under his collar.]
We'll have to stick together, then, [she reads the tag] Hayate.
Where did you go to get away from the bad guy, Sasori?
Reply
[He nods solemnly.]
He's really gotta be a bad guy to kidnap a dog.
And I'm not sure where this is. It's a big market. My granny told me it's safer to go where there's lots of people if someone bad's after you.

You found a scratched hitai-ate? [Okay, totally interested now.] Where is it!? I wanna see!
Reply
Ah I brought it with me. It's evi...[What was that word?]...It's proof he's bad!
[And he digs into his pack and pulls out the hitai-ate, holding it up so it's clear that a deep gouge cuts across the Suna symbol.]
Just be careful if you see him even if he didn't kidnap you, he might kidnap you if he sees you and he's a bad ninja.

[Just gonna stare at the headband for a bit.] Cool. [ ... now he wants one.] Were there any more?! [Well, maybe he has a spare!] Hey, hey if you took his one, then he might come after ya'!
Reply
[And that thought makes him a bit hopeful.]
My mom and dad have been away a long time. Maybe they could be here too.
[He puts the headband back in his pack.] That's the only headband I saw.
[Oops, Sasori didn't think of that! He looks a little worried...and checks behind him again for any sign of that big bad missing-nin.]
He isn't following me though. I think I'm safe, there's lots of people here.

Riful already said it wasn't a game. Duh. And who's she? Does she have toes?
