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.))

[She's motionless as he moves nearer to her, but as he lifts her hair she scrambles away backwards, one hand clamped to the left side of her face, hiding her scars.]

Leave me 'lone...I ain't doin' anythin'!

You are taking up space, [Toshiya countered, his arm suspended in the air where it upheld her strands. He retracted it, palm falling upon his knee, drumming a quartet of pensive taps as his eyes stared.]

You're, probably... gonna croak on these streets. How about it, would you like me to end it for you - quickly?

[freckleddoll]

No I ain't! [On her feet, looking furious]

I've got a place an' people waitin' fer me, I just need t'find the way back! Even got myself work t'do!

It's simple physics. You are, and so am I...

[The man didn't rise. His blackened eyes scrutinized her deposition, then his neck lulled, his demeanor expressing a vague consent. Toshi pushed a hand into an inner pocket in his black coat.]

...

[His hand tentatively lingered in his clothing, then migrated to the outer pocket instead. Toshi produced two yellow coins and tossed them to the floor at the girl's feet. He straightened his posture and set off.]

[Her small shoulders are still set in determination, and only relax once he's turned away from her and started moving away.

She's not too proud to shun any form of help while she still doesn't know how to get back to the workhouse, and once he's sufficiently far away she picks up the coins, slipping them into a pocket to give to Beast later. She's feeling strangely relieved and as though she just went through a very close call with danger.]
