Who: Lilly, your fave kid

Action: Windrose, where she is newly transferred, to hang out with her adoptive parent, Makie.

[Lilly wants to see if her mother is out there. If Makie's here, surely her mom, right?

And because we can never do things by halves, she is a little unsettling weirdo about it.]

[SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. MOM, DO YOU COPY?]

[hi wow guess who doesn't appreciate this at all. he skips right to using his scary deep gravel voice:]

Stop.

[Surprisingly, she's only daunted for but a moment.

She hisses at him, animalistic and sharp.

... So, like. Basically a 'no, fuck you'.]

[--hearing that taps into something he hasn't felt in a long time.

but he hisses back, just as sharp, the same kind of sound in a lower tone.

so kind of a "don't you fucking argue with me young lady".]

[>:^( YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME??? MY MOM IS???

She is feeling very defensive now, how dare you hiss back at me.

And then she proceeds to keysmash again, because she's got work to do!

(that is, annoy everyone)]

[WELL RUDE

except that's totally fair, he has terrible feral-children manners. back to his awful gravel voice.]

You're looking for her?

[Obviously.

She relaxes a fraction, though.]

Looking.

Looking — for mama. She listens.

[see, and this is the part where he should turn around and go "oh clearly this kid is looking for her mother and I should let her go about her--" nope.]

Mama is far away. Do you think she can hear from here?

[which at least sounds more like an honest question than mockery.]

Mama always hears.

Mama always follows.

[So she figures her mother will find her eventually.

People can't really convince her otherwise, when her mama really does love to teleport.]

[maybe he's just asking to try and keep her from spamming the network with MAMA all over again... or maybe he really is curious.]

What is she like?

Long, pretty hair... Long fingers... She floats...

We float. We float on the wall.
