[ Oh look, another person is fumbling with the tablet today. There's a short capture of the grey sky and a glimpse of bright red hair before a "clunk!" sound can be heard and a panicky-- ] Oh no! Did I brea-- [ The video stops there.

Several minutes later, the audio comes on. Whether it's by mistake or choice, who knows. You can still hear the rain coming down heavily and then a young girl's voice speaks up. The same one who was panicking not too long ago. ]

Hello? Is there anyone who can hear this? Hello? I'm-- [ her voice is almost hard to make out in the rain, so she talks louder: ] I don't know how I got up here and I'm stuck! Somebody on the street told me they were gonna come, but it's been forever and it's cold and raining and-- [ She sounds cold, tired and scared. ]

Can somebody come and get me down from the roof? [ A beat. ] Please?


[ ooc: max will be retrieving her! otherwise all network replies will be icly delayed by an hour or so. ]

[Here tiny kate, have a curious redhead peering at her camera.]

Why are you on the roof? How'd you get up there?

I want to get on the roof...

[notbeth]

[ Probably some time later after she's been able to get a change of clean clothes and dried her hair. ]

Hello?

[ Someone left a message on this thing, right? ]

[shelkethetransparent]

[Shelke long since forgot she said anything and is exploring, so kate gets a picture of a pocket for a moment before Shelke manages to pull her phone free. She waves at it, smiling almost shyly.]

Hi. Are you still on a roof?

[notbeth]

[ A pause. The red hair catches her attention briefly, but it's not like hers. ]

No, someone got me down.

... Who's this?

voice; ff sorry i could have sworn i'd hit post comment ;;

[motherofnemesis]

Do you know where you are?

voice; it's okay <33

[notbeth]

Hello-- uh! I don't know! I'm just on a rooftop somewhere outside and it's cold. [ A pause. ] Where am I?

voice; <33

[motherofnemesis]

You're in a place called Exsilium, it's a city in the future. Can you turn the video back on?

[notbeth]

Exsi-- what? [ She shudders in the cold. ] What do you mean the future? That's impossible! [ In her gut, she's been fearing the worst. She can't contain the fear in her voice even when she shouts: ] Is this a kidnapping?!

[chubbybun]

I will find you in all due haste if you but tell me where you are. What can thou see?

delayed response!

[notbeth]

Uh, hello? Is someone still there?

[chubbybun]

I am here. Art thou recovered?

[stonewall]

Take it easy, kiddo. Has anyone come and found you yet?

video;

[notbeth]

[ Whoa, this guy is super blonde and huge. Anyway this comes like an hour later, etc. ]

Yeah, I'm okay. A lady named Max came for me.

video;

[stonewall]

[ HE SPENT THAT HOUR WORRYING SO MUCH ]

Yeah? Go ahead and thank her for me. [ He runs a hand through his crazy hair, grinning in relief. ] You gonna stay out of trouble now?

[brattyantivan]

[Oh. It's a human girl. This skinny elf boy peers and leans in.] Did you get down? I'm pretty good with climbing and jumping, I could probably help you if you still need it.


[OOC: Obviously Zevran's PB doesn't have blond hair and pointy ears, but I thought he had the right expression. Also OMG bitties.]

[notbeth]

[ And some time later Kate's able to peer right back into the feed. Her eyes widen upon seeing those ears. She's not imagining those, is she? ]

Someone came for me and helped me down... [ She sounds distracted, obviously by those ears. ]


[ ooc: ty for informing me! also c: bitty zevran. ]

[brattyantivan]

That's good, I guess.

You probably shouldn't post things like that to everyone in the world. You never know who might want to snatch up a child.

[Zevran tilts his head, uncertain why she's staring. Of course he spends a great deal of his time with the other children in the brothel, and most of them are elves or half, but it's not like he's never seen a human child.

Though he is impressed by how clean she is.]

[fortissimos]

[ How many kids are going to show up here?? She frowns. ]

How the heck don't you remember getting up there? [ Nobody magically appears onrooftops! ]

video;

[notbeth]

[ An impatient huff. ]

I said I don't know.

[video]

[pixieboots]

How'd you manage that?

[video]

[notbeth]

Ugh! I keep saying I don't know! Nobody's listening!

[video]

[pixieboots]

Hey, I was just asking. [ There's a bit of a tone. ]

Maybe you got drugged or hypnotized or something.

[lepetitvoleur]

If y'got up there, how come you can't get down? _{( The most helpful. )}

[notbeth]

[ She fumes a bit more when she gets to this message finally. ]

It was slippery, okay?

[lepetitvoleur]

You slipped up?
