[twenty three] I clicked my heels together three times, but it didn't take me home...

[A little bit of fumbling, then the screen flicks on to reveal a six or seven year old girl with wide blue eyes and curly blonde hair.  Meet Molly, pre-tattoos, pre-piercings, and she is completely terrified.]

My bedroom is arranged all funny, and it doesn't open out into the right hallway.  Papa?  Mama?  Where are you?  And why did you leave me with Matthew's baby monitor?  [She shakes it a little and presses a few buttons.]  It won't show me Matthew.  Is he with you? [presses a few more buttons and the video cuts out.]

[OOC: Yes, the picture is misleading, but it's the youngest I have for her]

I don't either. [froooooown] There's a keyboard, and the numbers don't look like they do on a phone.

[cisskabob]

Maybe there's a grown-up somewhere that can show us how to use them!

[goodgrasshopper]

I hope so...

But... all the grown-ups are strangers.

[cisskabob]

Yeah, but if they tell us their names and we talk to them, they won't be strangers anymore! And some strangers are okay to talk to, like police or heroes.

[goodgrasshopper]

And priests. I guess some stranger-grown-ups are okay to talk to. What do you mean by heroes? Like firefighters?

[cisskabob]

No, like Green Arrow and Superman! Firefighters are heroes too though, but they're not superheroes.

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh! I know who Superman is! He's on Jacob's lunchbox in school!

[cisskabob]

Yeah! I have a poster of him! You go to school? Do you like it?

[goodgrasshopper]

I like it okay. Especially art. Don't you go to school?

[cisskabob]

No, my mom teaches me at home. You do art in school?

[goodgrasshopper]

Yup! We get to play with clay, and last year we did fingerpaints. I kind of miss fingerpaints.

[cisskabob]

That sounds like fun! Maybe somebody here has fingerpaints!

[goodgrasshopper]

They are! Lots! Want to look around? We could do fingerpaints together!

[cisskabob]

Yeah! I bet there's paint somewhere!

[goodgrasshopper]

We can go look! I can meet you... somewhere?

[cisskabob]

Do you know where the library is? Let's meet there!

[goodgrasshopper]

Okay! I'll be there as soon as I can! With my dog! His name is Fluffy!
