Video [01] | UN: Pico

Is this working? I tried a couple times to make sure it works, but this is still pretty different.

[The little girl on screen is frowning while looking at her device, until finally she clears her throat, takes a deep breath and...]

AAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!

[Clearly she is a perfect model of calm and composure in a crisis.]

WHERE IS DOLLY?!?! I NEED DOLLY!

DOLLY! DOLLY?? DOLLY!

[She takes... several deep breaths after her screaming... and then says quite a bit more calmly...]

Also... does anybody have any cake? I haven't had cake in over a thousand years.

She has a name, I just had a hard time saying it when we first met, so she let me call her Dolly when she was a little girl, and I've called her that ever since!

[That bit about a boy's plaything makes Pico smirk just a little bit.]

I like you, you've got good taste.

[Well the sunglasses and leather jacket were very stylish, but mostly the no judgement on the dolls thing, the complimenting her tantrum, and trying to help her find her friend were the main reasons.]

[ He has raised a little boy before, he knows how they can be. And honestly, who doesn't like a cute doll? Compliment accepted!]

That actually makes sense.

[ And he was surprised by that. Some how he hadn't thought it would but then he had visions of a living doll wandering around the streets as he had a vivid imagination. ]

Isn't it going to be hard to find her without her real name? She didn't have everyone call her Dolly, right?

You'd be surprised how often I do make sense when you fully understand me.

[Context is just about everything when it comes to Pico and her inane ramblings. Granted it's often a bit difficult to get context out of her because she's sort of impatient and hyper, but what can you expect from children?]

Yeah, but I call her Dolly so often that she'll know who's looking for her pretty easily. Her real name is... Doll say? Dole see? It's something like that!

Dolcy?

[ Maybe that wasn't entirely right but it sounded correct enough when spoken quickly. ]

Haven't heard of one of those around or a lost and found...

[ That was where some one went when they had lost someone, right? ]

You... going to be alright if she isn't here?

That sounds pretty close?

[At this point Pico is hoping to recruit a veritable army of people to look for her friend so that if she does arrive, she'll be absolutely swarmed with people pointing her towards her Pico.]

I... I don't know! Normally I'd fade away without Dolly around, but I don't even know what I'd do! She's...

[Oh no... little girl is on the verge of tears and a breakdown here.]

[ Uh oh, red alert, tears incoming!! ]

Uhm, well... you aren't fading away so she has to be around some where.

[ Maybe? ]

Or... is on her way. If you are that close she has to be looking for you too.

I'm not dead anymore either, so I don't think the same rules apply.

[As a ghost straying from the one she's haunting would cause her to move on to the afterlife, but here? She was very much alive!]

You're right... milady is probably just as worried about me as I am about her.

[She's trying her best to grin and bear it, but her grin definitely doesn't seem very heartfelt.]

Wait... wait... wait... You can't just drop something like that and just move on! What do you mean you aren't dead anymore?
