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.

[audio // Japanese] Very nice

[Kimiko has terrible genetics for height; she's a head shorter than Motoko, even at only a year's age-difference, cyborg bodies aside. There is a rather enormous bag of chocolate chip cookies propped up against the wall.: Zeke is a bad parent.]

She stands and waves her flaming marshmallow in greeting.]

Hullo. I like your knees.

[commentlog] I have either excellent or questionable taste, depending on your point of view.

[For some reason she can't quite place, Motoko doesn't like the fire, and hangs back a safe distance.]

Thanks. They're cybernetic.

[commentlog] If you're going to get married in a t-shirt, it might as well be awesome.

[Kim is six- she's not easy to tip off.]

Like a robot.

[The marshmallow goes on the cookie. Another cookie makes the second half- squiiisssshhhh. She opens her mouth to bite it, then remembers to be polite and offers it to Motoko.]

[commentlog] MA requires a "ceremony," but doesn't specify what it has to be. Trufax.

I'm not a robot!

[This is super-important, Kimmi. If Motoko had tear ducts, her eyes would be welling up.]

[Kim just blinks her huge eyes at Motoko a moment and munches on a cookie.]

I did not say that, you're a girl, like me.

I said like. Li-kuh. You have robot knees. It's very excellent. Daddy told me the right word is 'cyborg.'

[she repeats the equivalent words in Spanish and English, for emphasis.]

[Spanish is lost on her, but she knows the word in English, courtesy of Batou and his language pack.]

Yes. "Cyborg."

[She edges forward a little, because her sweet tooth is slightly stronger than her fear of fire.

[Kimiko obligingly steps forward to give her the marshmallow-cookie sandwich.]

Don't be sad. We can be friends, and team up to find Mr. Batou, if you want.

[She hesitates, then tacks on the only species of bribery she knows how to use.]

I don't have any friends, aside from Hedwig and Barry. I live in a laboratory, so there are no other children. You would be the first friend.

It's okay. Mr. Batou will come if I ask him to.

[That's as certain as the sunrise, and the way Motoko says it reflects the fact.]

I...don't have any friends either. I haven't seen the paralyzed boy in a long time.

[She accepts the cookie bashfully. The taste is...well, she can't taste it much. But the sweetness is there.]

[Half the fun of marshmallow sandwiches is in the texture, anyways.]

...Do you want to be friends anyway? I could try to call Mr. Zeke back.

[She seems doubtful about this. Zeke isn't BAD, but he's not good either, and he might not come, besides.]

I would like to meet Mr. Batou.
