[The video flickers when sudden impact against the face of a grandfather clock jolts it on. There is a sudden sound of a little girl's wailing that permeates through the speakers, and eventually, if you stare enough at the screen and keep your eyes to the left-hand corner, there is a little shaking bundle scrunched up against the far wall.

[Oh man, crying kid.] Hey, you okay? What's wrong?

[Lots of incoherent blubbering sounds go here. She's more than a little distraught, okay. It worse than a pet pony dying. It's worse than a thousand ponies dying. That's how bad it is.]

Shhh, hey, it's okay. [He lowers his voice and makes it as gentle as possible.] What happened?

[Well, his tactic is working. Gradually, her sobs subside from major tear-shedding to medium-level tear-shedding, to a few tears and lots of sniffing as little girls wont to do. Between sniffs, she manages to convey the story.]

S-someone took Lottie.

[how could there be that many tears--]

[but. rushed, worried,] Lily?

Voice.

[regive]

[By this point, she's pretty much expended 70% of her tear capacity. She's just sort of sniffing now when she recognizes Allen's voice. But she's a little too worn out from crying and throwing a tantrum to actually crawl over to the device, and so her voice sounds very far away.]

Allen? [sniff]

Voice.

[payingthepiper]

Are you-- [wait, stupid question.]

... What's wrong?

Voice.

[regive]

[bawwww, Allen. The loli is very upset. There is a lot of sniffing when she relays the problem.]

Lottie's gone. [Said in a way that implies heartbreak, or at least mass-murder.]

Lily? [And he's grabbing the NV to make sure.]

Are you okay? What happened?

[She's just starting to calm down a little when Hope's call gets through. Immediately, she is reminded of the reason why she was crying in the first place, and bursts into a fresh round of tears.

Through sobs, however, she manages to choke out a word.]

L-lottie...

[escapedpandora]

[That wasn't what he had meant to do! He's looking a little panicked now.]

'Lottie'? Lily, what's wrong? Are you hurt?

[video]

[regive]

[The more panicked you are, the more panicked she gets. She just cries harder, though through her tears, she manages a headshake. And, well, more wailing.]

[madeinoblivion]

Hey...hey....don't cry! It'll be okay...are you okay?

[regive]

[A wail in answer to his question.] No! No!

[madeinoblivion]

What happened?

[regive]

[Waaaaaaaail x5] Someone took L-lottie!

[video]

[heartdissonance]

Lily. Stop that right now and speak.

[video]

[regive]

[Well, she stops wailing, though the tears themselves won't stop. She ends up trying to dry her face off awkwardly with her cloak. All in all, she looks pretty mournful.]

... 'Jima's not angry... right?

[video]

[heartdissonance]

I'm not angry. But you can't be understood when you cry like that.

[regive]

[She looks distraught.] But... but when I'm sad, I want to cry.
