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.))

[freckleddoll]

[dclx.livejournal.com]

That's not good. Do you want help?

[freckleddoll]

Ya can't give me directions t' Baron Gelvin's workhouse, can ya?

[dclx.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've heard of that, sorry.

[freckleddoll]

S'alright. Dunno 'ow we managed t'get ourselves so lost.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

You and Beast?

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, s'just the two of us. 'aven't seen any of the others.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do if you can't find the workhouse?

[freckleddoll]

I...I dunno. ...we'll 'ave t'go back t'livin' on the streets, I guess.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

You lived on the streets?

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, till the Baron found us.

[dclx.livejournal.com]

You can stay with me until you find it, if you want.

[freckleddoll]

Why would ya do that?

[dclx.livejournal.com]

Nobody should be alone like that.

[freckleddoll]

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!
