[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

My thoughts exactly. At least they're not complete arses about it.

[claimyourself]

Only like, 90%, right? Not complete.

[The amusement in her voice fades with her next question.]

So are their designated apartments for the underage? Or can it be anywhere? Can you point me where I need to go?

voice;

[hexuality]

Anywhere, really. The carousel and the fountain are in the Square, right? Around that are twelve apartment buildings—you can pretty much walk into any one and settle in a place no one's living in, yet. I'd suggest a pet or a roommate to keep the ticking down, though, that can get a bit maddening.

[claimyourself]

Yeah, what is that? Some machine running? Doesn't it ever stop?

voice;

[hexuality]

It's a clock, supposedly. People try to investigate, sometimes, but the City never lets anyone get too close. And I used to think it never stopped, but it has before, and things never go well when it does.

So the incessant ticking is better than no ticking at all? Great.

[She lets out a huff, then tries for some positivity.]

Guess I'll find a pet store. Maybe get a cat.

Last I heard, Thor was giving away puppies.

voice;

[claimyourself]

I'll have to look into that, thanks.

voice;

[hexuality]

No problem.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more of a help. It's just, I live with my brother, so...

[And she herself isn't ready to have another roommate that isn't family, not just yet. City, y u do traumatic things like take people away.]

voice;

[claimyourself]

No, that's okay. You've helped me plenty.

voice;

[hexuality]

Well, you can always ask me anything, alright? Can't promise to have all the answers, but I'll do my best.

[This is so nice and so different than the way most people treat her at home that she might start getting emotional if she stays on the phone any longer.]

Thank you, Ginny. Really. It's-- it's really nice of you. I'll ask if I think of anything.

voice;

[hexuality]

Good. Give me a ring at this number— [She sends that along through the device; funny how she can handle Muggle technology so well now.] —or you could pass by the Blue Light, I work practically every day. Let me know the soonest you've settled.

[... Merlin, maybe she's more like her mother than she'd like to admit.],/small>

Blue Light, got it. I'll talk to you soon.
