[when the feed clicks, the only thing one can see is the top of a child's head - forehead, little brown bangs, and perhaps the hint of a brown eye over the top of a counter if she attempts to stand on her tipey toes

[ oh, goodness. she hears you, mina, and she's coming. ]

What's wrong?

action;

[brothercumface]

[FRETTING. like, fretting a lot.]

I - Miss Shirley, I think I broke something...!

action;

[healful]

Well, let's see it.

[ someone in this place can fix whatever it is. ]

action;

[brothercumface]

It's the - the thingy. That phone thingy with the video -!!

[tugging on the older woman's sleeve, the little brunette makes to drag her back toward the kitchen.]

[healful]

[ shirley follows easy enough, but she doesn't mind mina's tugging. ]

The Forge?

action;

[brothercumface]

Yeah!

[at least it was her own forge!]

...I was trying to find my mommy and daddy with it.

action;

[healful]

Well, then. We, certainly, need to fix it as soon as possible.

action;

[brothercumface]

Uh-huh!

[Mina only lets go of Shirley to push open the door to the kitchen, and waits patiently for the older woman to enter behind her.]

[and although she's eager to get this forge thingy fixed, the little brunette is also rather hesitant...]

...Do you think...I will be able to find my mommy and daddy on it?

action;

[healful]

[ ... ]

I don't know, little one. I hope so.

[ shirley bends down, picking up the forge. it doesn't look broken... but what would this device look like broken, anyway? many puzzled looks go here. ]

action;

[brothercumface]

[those puzzled looks are mirrored on Minatsuki's face as she gazes intensely at the broken forge.]

...I miss them.

action;

[healful]

[ shirley smiles at mina, sadly. ]

I know.

[ then, she has an idea! she takes out her own forge and opens a channel between the two. hm. ]

It still works, I think...

action;

[brothercumface]

Mommy probably misses me, too. I'm supposed to help her water the flowers...

[she trails off, in a rather sad silence.]

[she's thinking about the quality time she spent with her mother and the flowers, out in the yard and with their household plants... her father liked the flowers, and so did Yoh - but they weren't allowed to touch them because they would almost always kill them; not on purpose, but still - tending to the flowers was a special thing for her and mommy and -]

[oh, what?]

I didn't break it then?

action;

[healful]

[ shaking her head, shirley holds mina's forge up. there is a picture of the very kitchen they are standing in, if static-y. ]

I don't know how to stop this, but perhaps someone else does.

action;

[brothercumface]

[ Mina sort of gazes at it. if it's not broken, it's at least good enough to work, and she can work with good enough. ]

It's okay. Mommy and Daddy will know me, even if I look all fuzzy.

action;

[healful]

[ handing the forge back to mina and pocketing her own. ]

Still. I will try to find someone that knows.

[ maybe that boy, remus. ]

action;

[brothercumface]

[ she smiles. ]

Thank you, Miss Shirley. Thank you lots! I'm sure my mommy and daddy will say thank you lots, too, when we find them.
