[There's a little girl peering at the screen for the longest time as if trying to figure out how to work it without realizing that random button pushing has already been successful. She pokes a finger at the camera before turning the entire device upside down then right side up again.]

Is this... a new Organization development? Is it broken?

My my~ it appears as though there are many younglings lately~

[faintly_smiles]

Who are you, mister? You don't look like you're from the Organization. Are you a normal citizen of this city?

[playful_trouble]

My name is Sohki. You have forgotten who I am?

[faintly_smiles]

Sohki? I don't know anyone with that name. [She smiles anyway] I'm Teresa!

[Have a four-year-old with critical blue eyes staring at you, little Teresa. She looks very skeptical for such a small girl.]

Are you a Claymore?

[Pause.]

I'm lookin' for my big sister, too. Have you seen her? She's must be lost 'cause she's not with me. Dummy.

[She frowns and taps the screen.]

Oh! And you're using this thing wrong!

[Video]

[faintly_smiles]

No, I'm a trainee. How come you know that name?

[Frowning] What does your big sister look like?

[She turns the screen back so that if focuses on her face] How do you know?

[twoswordjuniper]

I heard the grown-ups talking. They said stuff about 'the organization' and 'silver eyes' and stuff. And they said about Claymores. Do you kill yoma?

[She huffs out a little breath like this should be obvious.] She looks like me! Only taller. But not that much taller!

[She frowns in a rather self-important way.] I figured it all out already. You're hitting all the wrong stuff.

[Video]

[faintly_smiles]

Grown-up talk a lot about things they are scared of. Well... I'm not supposed to, but I had to once.

[She doesn't look convinced] How old is she?

[A continued frown] I don't like this weird thing. It makes me look small and sound strange. You look a few centimeters tall...

It's a group that I was sold to. They are going to make me into a warrior.

[She offers a smile] Maybe we should look together? I think I see some of my sisters, but they are far away.

[Still smiling happily] Don't be sad. We can wander around in the city and beyond. I do it all the time, and it's fun.

What's wrong with it? My family is dead, and I'm alone.

[Strangers? Haven't they just met, which means they aren't strangers anymore regardless of a lack of name exchange] I'm not a stranger. And apparently the Organization isn't here either... so I'm alone again.

I believe you have things backwards! It was on before you attempted to 'make it work.'

[Video]

[faintly_smiles]

[The image turns around so the camera actually focuses on the girl's face again] Is it still working?

[Video]

[riseinthewest]

It is now!

[Video]

[faintly_smiles]

Hmmm... what is this device and where did it come from? Do you know, lady?

[yetsleeping]

...Teresa?

[faintly_smiles]

[Smile, smile] Yes? Are you a sister who can help me get back to the training grounds?

[yetsleeping]

I... I don't think you can reach the training grounds from here. But I am a warrior, yes.

[She gives Teresa a sheepish little smile.]

...you're a trainee?

[faintly_smiles]

I see... if I leave the city and head north, I'll reach them then? That's the path I usually take.

[She tilts her head as if not entirely understanding the question] Yes, I haven't taken my test yet to gain a symbol. Do you know... if Orsay is looking for me then?
