[Voice, sort of forward dated to later this... tomorrow? later in the morning!][The message clicks on, but before anyone speaks there are the beeping sounds of someone trying to dial a three-digit number, again and again. When the repetitious dialing does not work, a little girl with a Russian accent speaks. She sounds very frightened, just like

[Ryuuken, as always, looks very professional in his lab coat.]

Are you in a safe location?

[Voice]

[mad_estonian]

[There's a long, long pause. This man doesn't look like he's part of a police force... and she isn't even sure just how a video got on this thing anyway.]

I do not know... I'm in a ... a park? But it looks like it has been abandoned for a very long time.

[This could be anywhere, but on the off chance she is new...]

Did you have any recollection of this place? Or did you just suddenly find yourself in the park?

[Voice]

[mad_estonian]

[Leena has to take a chance now. This isn't where she had been before. It's summer here, not winter... so it isn't possible that John and Kate are here. And even if they are, this man is certianly not Kate or John. She could get away with telling him this lie.]

The last thing I remember, I was saying bedtime prayer with the Sisters and the other little girls.

[soggybucket]

Oh goodie. If it isn't another snot-nosed brat. And I thought we had enough of those already~.

[mad_estonian]

[SAD VOICE.]

I am sorry. I didn't mean to come here.

[audio]

[soggybucket]

[NOT THE VOICE.]

Don't talk at me that way! It's already enough knowing you're here. Heaven forbid you start up the waterworks and rain all over my good day too.

[grumble grumble shuffle shuffle. It sound like he's moving papers around and a stool is dragged across the floor.]

[SAD, SAD, SAD VOICE.]

I am sorry, Mister.

If you could tell me where the [SNIFF] orphanage is, I promise that I will go there and never bother you again.

[tapdancinskelly]

Are you alright Miss? You're not hurt are you?

[mad_estonian]

I don't feel good.

[the video feed clicks on and the skeleton tilts his head to the side questioningly]

Do you think it was something you ate?

[voice]

[mad_estonian]

[Leena drops the iphone in horror as she notices the skeleton. Then she takes a deep breath to calm herself. No, no no. She can't seem afraid, that wouldn't be right. ]

That's a very good costume. Are you going to a party?

[heavenly_earth]

A child...?

Have you received aid?

[mad_estonian]

No.

Someone told me where I am. But no one's told me where to go.

[heavenly_earth]

I see. Generally, there's a set of apartments, but they're not known to be terribly safe from what I've heard. I haven't come across an orphanage, and you'll need to get inside before the first evening siren around dusk.

[A pause, he really doesn't know where to send her, but maybe until someone more suitable could take of her...]

..If no solution is forthcoming before the sun begins to set, I can offer my residence for the time being.

[mad_estonian]

Apartments? But I can't afford an apartment! I don't have any money.

... I don't think I should go home with a stranger.

[masking]

[He'd recognize that accent anywhere.]

Who're you?

[mad_estonian]

My name is...

I don't know if I should tell that to a stranger.

[masking]

Then what nation are ya from?

[mad_estonian]

What? That is a very strange question.
