[The camera focuses on Molly, who is looking at one of the derelict buildings somewhere near the clinic. It is not as bad as most of the buildings in Adstring, it looks like a home that was once very much loved, and has now been forgotten. Molly is quiet, in her own little world, unaware that the PCD is even on. She stares at the house for a long moment or two, then bites her lip and looks away.

She turns towards the general direction of the camera, and her face looks as though her heart's been broken, stomped on, and generally ripped into small pieces. Eventually she sees the PCD, notices the light running, and picks it up. When she finally says something, there is no trace of the turmoil on her face in her voice, only a slight waver.]

So. Who wants to point me towards an apartment or something?

Hey there, kiddo. Everything okay?

[Pause.] I can give ya directions to some of the temporary housin', if that's what you're lookin' for.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. [She'll ignore the 'kiddo', for the time being.]

[The picture on her PCD wavers out abruptly, and Molly smacks it -- hey, it's back.]

Could you? I don't wanna take up room at the clinic.

Well, that's normally one of the ones I'd link, but --

Here, this's the other one I know about. (x,y)

[Riku's new lodging house - it ought to do, while she's looking for something permanent.]

Thanks a lot. [She gives him a small smile.]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

No problem.

You know that house?

[Video]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

I ...can probably find it. Haven't looked around much.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't be hard with the coordinates... but I meant the one you were lookin' at.

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh. [A trace of that earlier shadow passes across her face again, but it's gone as soon as it came.]

No. It just reminded me of somewhere.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. Sorry ta pry; just wonderin' if this place was draggin' in recognizable buildings now. Not countin' the pyramids an' such.

Don't worry, I haven't seen any bits of Chicago yet.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

No way ta tell whose Chicago it'd be even if ya did, huh?

[Video]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

[Gently.] Hey, home'll be there waitin' when this place gets around ta sendin' ya back.

[Video]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

I know, it's just -- been a long time. Might be even longer when I get back.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Sorry ta hear it. That's never easy.

[Video]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

I have a job to do. It's okay.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Well - take care, Molly. Hope ya find someplace more permanent, huh?

[Video]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.
