[(Here's the strange thing: wandering through a door that you thought was supposed to lead to like, a closet or something, and finding yourself mysteriously outside in what appears to be a creepy, abandoned carnival instead? Is actually expected where this girl comes from. It's more or less an every day occurrence. It's just not supposed to happen to HER, is all. So that's new.) In any case, she seems far more calm than one might expect from a little girl, under the circumstances. And I do mean little- she doesn't appear to be more than 7 or 8 years old. She seems completely out of her element as well, decked out in a frilly, Chinese-style gown and elaborate headdress.]
Hello? Is there anyone here? Count...?
[For a while she just drifts around aimlessly, looking for any sign of other people, until she stumbles upon the Gamer's Circle. All the booths are shut down and unmanned, of course, but one stand, a cup and ball game, is still partially set up, with a number of large stuffed animals hanging tantalizingly from the pegs. She immediately makes a beeline for it.]
Ohh-! They're so cute... Um...?
[She leans over the counter, even peeking under it as though an employee might be hiding there, but it's obviously just as abandoned as the rest of the place. She glances up at the dolls, then over her shoulder, then back at the dolls. She timidly reaches up towards one, but quickly shrinks back...then suddenly straightens up and puts her hands on her hips defiantly.]
Oh, whatever! It's fine! Who's even gonna notice? [Her hands drop back to her side.] No, that would be stealing. [The hands come up again, clenching with sudden intensity.] Not if I win it fair and square!
[And with that, she just. Climbs right over the counter, fancy dress and all, and grabs a bucket of balls which she starts dunking directly into the winning cups. "Fair and square" indeed. Boy, it's a good thing no one's around to catch her at it.]
