8 tightropes walked - video/action

[freckleddoll]

[There's a bright blue eye showing up as Doll holds the network device to her face, pressing at buttons randomly to try and find out what it is.

Soon there's a better view of her as she holds it further away. She's sitting on the ground in the place where she'd agreed to meet up again with Beast, a small bag of food by her side. She's wearing worn but clean clothes, and as she tilts her head away from the camera to look longingly at the food, a hint of her scars shows from underneath her hair.]

Wonder if Beast'll get 'ere soon. 'ope she's alright.

[She curls up a bit more with her arms around her knees, waiting for her older sibling to show up and completely unaware that the device is broadcasting.]

((ooc: age reversal curse, action if anyone wants to bump into her, voice/video otherwise. This is after this thread.))

Most people don't want anythin' t'do with us though.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

Why?

[freckleddoll]

'cause we're just 'omeless children and there's somethin' wrong with all of us.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

I was like that once too.

[freckleddoll]

...really?

[dclx.livejournal.com]

I was all alone, but somebody took me in and since then I've had a family.

[freckleddoll]

That's good...s'real good. Everyone should 'ave a family.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

I think so too.

So will you stay with me?

[freckleddoll]

If Beast can come too...yeah, I will, thanks!

[dclx.livejournal.com]

Where are you? I'll come find you.

[freckleddoll]

Not sure where it is, s'close ta lots of shops.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll be there soon!

[freckleddoll]

We'll wait 'ere!

ACTION

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

Well, just to be safe.

[And so does she. ... Maybe a BIT more manners. MAYBE.]

ACTION

[freckleddoll]

Yeah...

[slows down a bit]

Found someone said they'd give us somewhere t'stay till we find the work'ouse.

ACTION

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

[suspiciousssssss]

Thas' probably not a good idea, Doll.

ACTION

[freckleddoll]

She's just a little girl too, said she used t'be on her own, like us, b'fore she found someone t'take 'er in.

Beast...if we don't find our way back we'll be on the streets again!

ACTION

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't mean to sound harsh, but- she's more scared than she's letting on]

An' if that girl is lyin'? An' if she's actually workin' for one of them groups that take up children in the night?

... We're safer on the streets than trustin' these people.

[the difference in the trust capable from Doll and Beast- apparent even this early on]

ACTION

[freckleddoll]

Yeah...yeah, you're right. Didn't think.

[It's very apparent. And sadly by the time Doll learns better it'll be too late.]

I want t'be with the others again.

ACTION

[lackingbeauty.livejournal.com]

[She does, too]

... Jus' rest a while, and we'll be back with 'em soon.

ACTION

[freckleddoll]

[she nods her head, scooting over closer to Beast.]

ACTION; forgot a close tag, sorry ;;

[dclx.livejournal.com]

[ After a little time passes, a glowing orb zipping just overhead abruptly stops, descends in front of the pair for a moment, then returns to the sky. A few moments later, a teenage-looking Vivio touches down where the orb was, smiling. ]

Told you I'd find you!

ACTION; it's fine!

[freckleddoll]

[Doll is wide-eyed at the glowing orb, so intent on watching it that she hardly notices the new arrival until she speaks.]

Oh...'ey there.

[She's a bit anxious now that Beast has told her they can't trust anyone until they find their way home.]

ACTION

[dclx.livejournal.com]

[ She looks first to Doll, then to Beast, taking note of her disability. ]

This must be Beast, right?

ACTION

[freckleddoll]

[She nods, hovering protectively next to her friend.]

Yeah, s'her.
