accidental video/action:

[Insomnia and late nights at work don't mix so it should surprise no one when Charlie dozed off at her desk at the Dragon late last night. Waking up the next morning, however, was not the Charlie the City recognizes unless they looked very carefully.

The Charlie that woke up was smaller, younger by almost ten years. And blonde. And she doesn't remember the City at all.

That was why when the feed does kick on, it shows, from a very strange angle (probably a jacket pocket or something) a young girl peeking around a corner very carefully. Her back is against a wall and everything is being studied very carefully.

Her expression is confusion, concern and a stubborn determination the older Charlie possesses. She even has older Charlie's backpack over her shoulder and her tiny fist is curled around a handful of coins she found within. When she was sure it was okay to, she stepped out of the alley onto the sidewalk and made her way to the nearest clothing store, still wearing the clothes she fell asleep in.

She'll be found almost anywhere in the Cit. Probably not the Underground and certainly not places kids should go. And she hasn't noticed the device in her pocket switched on. She just thought it was a camera and was going to sell it.]

It's not where I'm supposed to be either. I'm from New York.

[Normally Theo would agree with her, but now he can take over a city! Woo!]

Did you take anything or make a mess?

No.

[She stole a ring which is actually not true. It's her ring. It was just shiny and looked valuable. And she stole-didn't-actually-steal the backpack on her shoulder. It had her name on it, though, so she can easily just say it's hers. Which ... it actually is.]

I was careful.

Then no problems should come of it. If they don't know anyone was there, they have no reason to look for anything.

[Honestly at this point, Theo doesn't care what she does.]

Okay. [She can trust that theory, she guesses.] Have you been in this City long?

[Besides, she just robbed herself, not that she knows it.]

A couple of months.
