[Rk9VUg==] Video;

[ There is a very small child on the screen, looking equal parts annoyed and worried. She seems to be wearing a sweater that belongs to someone much larger, and the tip of her nose is red, as if she's been outdoors in the cold. ]

Who stole all my clothes? That was a mean thing to do.

[He doesn't recognize Tosh, of course, but there's no way he can let this small child just wander around in an oversized sweater -- although considering he's wearing an oversized sweater himself, and does on a day-to-day basis, maybe he's not one to talk -- and looking obviously cold.]

I don't know who took your clothes. I don't know why anyone would do that. I mean, that's really not cool. Are you new here?

I don't know. I guess so.

[ It doesn't look familiar, so that's probably a yes. But she doesn't know for certain, since she doesn't know where here is. ]

Do you know where my mother and father went?

Not really. I mean, most of us don't know where our mothers and fathers are. Everyone here is kind of lost, in a way. So it'll be okay, you know? Everyone's confused, but everyone's pretty nice.

How is it nice if everyone is lost?

[ She was dealing with things up to this point, but between Theo informing here that there are no good grown-ups around and now this man saying everyone is lost and there aren't any parents around either... ]

I want to go home.

Because people don't stay lost for very long. They make friends, or they get to go back home again.

[That's simplifying things a little, but he knows there're a lot of curses this weekend, a lot of different, strange ones, and maybe this kid is part of them. He's certainly never seen her before. Maybe she's a temporary visitor.]

I don't have any friends.

[ That could be taken to mean that she hasn't made any here, or that she has no friends at all. Both would be true. ]

When I was little, I didn't have too many friends, either. I still don't have too many friends. But I've made more here than I've ever made anywhere else. And if you need some help, I can help you out.

[Maybe it's strange, to be offering assistance to a small child, when he has no idea how to talk to them, or how to help them. But he just can't let this little girl be on her own.]

Can you be my friend?

[ You're not supposed to talk to strangers under normal circumstances, but her parents aren't around and as precocious as she is, she knows she's only five. ]

My name's Toshiko.

Hey, yo. What kind of clothes do you like?

[because goddammit that's not right]

I don't know. [ She does that little kid whole body shrug. ] Grandfather gave me a sweater, it was purple and blue and had a kitten on it.

Well I don't have anything like that on me, but I bet one of the stores around here would. I can get you a sweater if you want. Like an early Christmas present.

Really?

[ That's a surprising thing for a stranger to offer. Unless... ]

Do you work for Father Christmas?

[Ho'shit, what did he get himself into? Welp. Time to ride this train to the station.]

Yup. Don't tell anyone, but I'm an elf. My name's Jesse, but I can tell you my Christmas code name if you can keep a secret.

Okay! I can keep a secret, I promise, Mr Jesse. Please can I know your Christmas code name?

It's Funyun. Funyun the elf.

As long as you don't tell anyone, I'll leave your package anywhere you want me to. [There's no way he's going to ask where she lives, that's creepy.]

Why weren't you weren't watching 'em?

I was sleeping. And I can't watch my clothes all the time anyway. Sometimes I have to do other things.

If someone steals something from you-- especially a lot of stuff-- it means you weren't paying enough attention to it.

[ That's what he's heard, anyway. He offers a small, somewhat sympathetic shrug. ]

[ She really hadn't considered it could be her fault. Last she looked, her clothes were all in the closet and bureau where they were supposed to be. ]

I put them all away. I always put them away. But somebody came and stole them. And all my books too. And they took my house!

You could probably get them back if you really wanted to. People carrying a lot of stuff don't get very far.

Who can carry a house? Do you think it was a giant? Or a giant robot?!

[ That would be almost cool. If it wasn't carrying her house, anyway. ]

It was a joke. Nobody can steal a whole house. That's crazy.

What's a robot anyway?

Sometimes things like that happen here.

Are you okay? Do you have anywhere to go?

Why?

I don't know. I don't know where this is.

Because this is a very strange place.

It's called the City, and don't worry--you're only visiting. You'll get to go home soon.
