Hullo, telly-phone. I would like to find my mum.

[Oh, such an adorable little child, with such an adorable little british accent.]

My name is Kusanagi Kimiko and I live at the Kusanagi genomics building, in Honduras. If you kidnapped me, then it's okay.

I'm not mad.

My daddy will save me.

... I'll be your... mum if you like...

I was almost a mother once...

[30 years, a few Jenova cells, and geez, Lucrecia's a creep.]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

No, you cannot be my mumma. I already have one, and she would be cross if I replaced her.

Do you know where to find her?

[intimacyphobic.livejournal.com]

Oh, but your "mumma" isn't around. It can't be a very good mumma that becomes separated from her offspring.

[Idea! Idea!]

I... don't know where to find her, but why don't you come find me and we can look for her together? I'd hate for something terrible to happen. There are many terrible things in the world.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

I am not allowed to walk with strangers. It is a rule.

[Oh my goodness, what even.]

Kimiko, no one's kidnapped you.

[Well...sort of.]

[audio]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Do you know where my Mum is?

[audio]

[thursdayevents.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't.

[audio]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Oh.

..

Do you know how to find a thing called 'biscuits'?

[zekekicksbutt.livejournal.com]

[Oh my God TINY KIM]

Oi, hey there.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Hullo. I am looking for my mumma. Are you the kidnapper? I have never met one, before.

[zekekicksbutt.livejournal.com]

[sjdfgsukdfygsd so cute]

I'm not. I'm Zeke.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

My name is Kimiko. Sometimes, if I am in trouble, I am called 'Kimiko Sarai Kusanagi,' but only by my mum.

You're not allowed to call me that. That's a rule.

[ntjstapwn]

We don't know who kidnapped us. Maybe some crazy guy called Redd.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

It's okay. My daddy will save all of us. He is a great scientist, he can do anything.

[ntjstapwn]

*She's tiny so he doesn't really believe her, but...*

What sort of science does he do?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Robots. Daddy makes them for the army in Japan. Everyone knows that he is the smartest, and mum says we will never run out of anything.

Maybe he will smash in with rockets. I think he might do that.

[lilstndrdpckge.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone can save us. We gotta get outta here on our own.

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

No, my daddy will definitely save us. You will see.

[fearsomecritter.livejournal.com]

My daddy'll save me too!

[I counter your tiny adorable British child accent with tiny adorable Wild West child accent!]

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

[Kimiko is not averse to this plan]

Excellent. Perhaps they will become a team. I have seen this on the telly, and it is very common.

[fearsomecritter.livejournal.com]

[Pause to process.]

Uh-huh, um. One time, I seen a ladybird, on my belly. You ever done seen a ladybird?

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

Yes. They live in the garden.

[audio // Japanese] 'sup?

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

I'm Motoko!

I think I'm kidnapped too.

[Look, if your name's "Kimiko Kusanagi," you have to be able to speak Japanese.]

[audio // Japanese] ohey you're alived!

[autodidacticone.livejournal.com]

[Well, she did live in Japan until comparatively recently- so you are correct!]

It is very common to-day, especially with boys. You do not need to worry, my daddy will pay the ransom, and rescue all of us.

Would you like some desserts? I have cookies, and I am allowed to climb the stairwells, now.

[audio // Japanese] I was in Montreal.

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

Will he bring Mr. Batou, too? I think Mr. Batou could help. He has a very good cybershell.

[Pause.]

Cookies?

[This is clearly very important.]
