♦ 108 [ accidental video ]

[guardianjoker]

[The video turns on an Amu can be seen clinging to her pillow as she tries to is trying to put on a brave face, she's totally not scared at all what are you talking about]

I should probably stay here so they can find me easier. That's what you're supposed to do when you're lost, right?

[She just taps the device she found on herself, staring at it momentarily. She doesn't realize it's even on yet] Oh. I guess this is like a phone or something, huh? Maybe someone could tell me where I am?

[ooc; Age reversal! Since it's been a while since I hit her with this curse]

[guardianjoker]

Hi Penny. [she just nods] Yeah, I'm okay now.

action!

[anunluckypenny]

You're really brave, you know? If I'd've gotten lost when I was younger, I'd be completely terrified.

[She offers Amu a hand.]

I'll take you to the Welcome Center, okay? There's food there, if you're hungry.

action!

[guardianjoker]

I'm used to it...sort of.

[Her parents leave her on her own a lot kind of randomly...but anyway she just nods at that] Welcome Center? Okay. I've heard other people mention it through this phone too.

action!

[anunluckypenny]

I'm so sorry. That's not exactly something anyone should be used to...

You have? I work there, so--I mean, I own it, too, in a super-loose sense of the term own, but it's a good place to go if you're lost.

action!

[guardianjoker]

I meant being on my own...my parents do that a lot.

[she nods at that] Mm! Other people told me that too...so it's more like you're in charge of it?

action!

[anunluckypenny]

They leave you on your own? Really? Not that I don't think you can't take care of yourself, Amu, I just--how old are you?

That's a good way to put it, yeah. Or maybe it's more in charge of me.

action!

[guardianjoker]

[she nods] Mm! To watch the house while they work and-- huh? I'm six years old.

[wait, what...] It's more in charge of you? What do you mean?

action!

[anunluckypenny]

Sorry, that's just... really young to be left alone. I mean, it is where I'm from.

[Penny laughs sheepishly.] Nothing bad, but I'm not that great at keeping up with everyone who comes in. It's like the City's a boss who just won't let up.

action!

[guardianjoker]

I'm...used to it, it's okay! [Her parents are busy people, so it can't be helped and she understands that]

Oh- a lot of people come here like I did?

action!

[anunluckypenny]

As long as you don't mind it...

Huh? Oh, no. I mean, everyone just kind of pops in randomly, but this is... a little different. I can't really explain it. But you're lucky! A lot of people fall into the fountain when they first get here.

action!

[guardianjoker]

[actually she kind of does mind it but with how her parents are it can't be helped, she just nods again anyway]

Different? That's-- ah, really most people end up falling into it?

action!

[anunluckypenny]

Mm hm, but don't worry. Not different in a bad way.

Kind of, yeah. I did when I came here.

action!

[guardianjoker]

Mm, okay then.

Ah- you did? That's not a very nice way to arrive here.

action!

[anunluckypenny]

I don't know if there's a good way to arrive here.

action!

[guardianjoker]

I guess that's a good point
