Video -- Grab Bag Weekend
[After some unseen fumbling with the communicator, it finally clicks on, and the face of a small boy fills the screen. He has a serious countenance, despite only being about six or so, and when he speaks, it's not with distress, but with slight confusion and a definite tone of politeness. At the moment, however, he's not speaking English -- he's speaking Yiddish.]
Can someone tell me where I am, please?
[After a few moments of no response, he decides to switch to a different language. Perhaps that will garner some kind of response. He chooses Russian.]
Is there anyone there?
[A long sigh, a far too world-weary one for someone so young, and then he shuts off the communicator. Maybe he'll have better luck tracking someone down to speak to them in person.]
[[Yes, Meyer has been de-aged, and thus, comments will come from
recognize_a_curse . Oh, and he doesn't speak English. Good luck with that!

I'm here! But I don't know where here is or who you are.
[And, in tortured Yiddish:]
You are from Russia?
Re: video;
I am from Russia. I don't know where here is either. Where are you?

[He waves the device around helpfully, showing his new friend the surroundings of the cottage he woke up in.]
This is where I am.
Re: video;
[He waves his device around, too.]
I'm by a fountain, I think.

Do you want me to try to find you? I'm very good at finding things.

Action, maybe? :3
Hello?
[And here she comes, running over with a small smile on her face.]
Hi!
Re: Action it is!
Hello. Do you know where we are?
BABY RUSSIAN ACTION~!
[Right, she should probably act like a girl of her status should...so she puts on her best 'serious royalty' face.]
I am Her Imperial Highness, Anastasia Romanov, daughter of Nicolas II, Tsar of all the Russias.
[And the royal face is gone now.]
You can call me Nastya though. Who're you?
no subject
Nice to meet you, Nastya. I'm Meyer.
[No last name needed, so none offered. He's suspicious by nature.]
no subject
Nice to meet you too, Meyer! C'mon, if we're gonna be stuck here, we should try to find out where we are!
[She grins and grabs his hand.]

Should he dare? Should he try.
.........Nope.]
Hey.
[Brilliant start.]
You [pointing] lost? [Searching, sailor motion after that.]
Re: video;
Yes.
[That should be obvious enough.]
video;
Okay so.
[He rakes his fingers through his hair. Once again there is that pointing] You should go [long fingers in a walking motion] to...
[To??? Uh. How do you sign or mimic the Welcome Center?]
Hold on.
[Both palms up.]
Re: video;
I'll wait.
video;
You [pointing as he's writing] need to find [find and lost have the same sailor looking motion thing. Sorry, Little Foreign Kid] this.
[Roman shows his paper. At the top it says WELCOME CENTER and below that it says POLICE.]
This one. [Pointing and circling WELCOME CENTER] OR this one. [Circling POLICE. Oh shit wait. Can he read???]

[Because he obviously doesn't recognize the voice, but he can't quite see it being anyone he knows. And he's always interested in people he doesn't have to speak English with.]
Re: voice;
My name is Meyer. What's yours?
voice;
[He doubts that's true, but likely it's easier than explaining the situation fully.]
Re: voice;
[He doesn't sound scared, really. Just perplexed.]

Also, he has a theory on who this kid might be. ]
Hello?
[ And because Dewey is going to guess the kid probably doesn't speak English, he gives a small wave. ]
Re: video;
Hello?
[At least he can mimic that. He can guess that Dewey's greeting him.]
Re: video;
[ Well, it's a start. Dewey nods with a small smile, and points to himself. ]
I'm Dewey.
Re: video;
Meyer.
Re: video;
Language barriers are such a problem. How awkward. He points at Meyer. ]
You okay? Good?
[ Thumbs up, with the same expression of I am asking a question seriously what is he hoping to accomplish here, he's out of things that he thinks he can convey well over a video feed now. ]
