8 tightropes walked - video/action
[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.))

ACTION
[runs up to her]
Was gettin' worried...yer alright?
ACTION
[but she wasn't as successful as Doll was in the search]
You?
ACTION
[Hesitating because she's still a bit weirded out by her meeting with Toshiya, but she doesn't want to worry Beast.]
Found us some food!
ACTION
Wassit?
[Mumbled, a bit disappointed she failed to deliver]
ACTION
This shopkeeper gave me some sandwiches when she saw me lookin' in the window. Cake, too! Said children don't 'ave t'pay fer things 'ere.
[She shrugs as if she doesn't believe it, but wasn't about to say no to good luck like that.]
ACTION
[she looks Doll over, as if she isn't quite sure if she might be covering a more "I stole it"/"Got beat up for it" story, but, she passes inspection]
Weir'.
ACTION
[She doesn't really need to continue the sentence - food was food.]
ACTION
[She knew, moving to the wall and placing her left palm on it for support, leaning her crutches on the side and precariously inching down until she sat, arranging her skirts fussily]
ACTION
Better leave some fer later, right?
Re: ACTION
[easier to talk about this than the situation]
ACTION
[and busy digging into the food now, with about as much manners as can be expected from someone who grew up on the streets.]
ACTION
[And so does she. ... Maybe a BIT more manners. MAYBE.]
ACTION
[slows down a bit]
Found someone said they'd give us somewhere t'stay till we find the work'ouse.
ACTION
Thas' probably not a good idea, Doll.
ACTION
Beast...if we don't find our way back we'll be on the streets again!
ACTION
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
[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
... Jus' rest a while, and we'll be back with 'em soon.
ACTION
ACTION; forgot a close tag, sorry ;;
Told you I'd find you!
ACTION; it's fine!
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
This must be Beast, right?
ACTION
Yeah, s'her.
ACTION
[ She offers a hand to each of them. ]
Are you ready to go?
ACTION
'm Doll.
I dunno...I dunno if we can come. We gotta keep lookin' fer our friends, see.
