[ACTION]

[Young (5-9) Sonia Nevermind is standing obediently outside of the school, as if awaiting someone. Occasionally she rocks back and forth on her heels - and by the way, she is dressed incredibly elaborately. Like almost Disney princess ball-gown elaborate. She tilts her head, wondering what's taking so long. Dare you ask what she's waiting on?]

[VOICE]

[Sonia's mastered the phone at that age anyway, so she calmly states the following message.]

Is this the police? I would like to report my own kidnapping. I cannot name the assistants or give you a proper description , but it is of utmost importance that I be returned to my father and mother immediately. I await your correspondence.

[driveblade]

[ ah, um — he hesitates. ]

How troublesome. [ ... ] But you have no recollection of your kidnappers, correct?

voice

[princesspool]

No... but Father said that kidnappers can use horrible drugs to knock me out, so I mustn't eat any foods or drinks a stranger offers me.

voice

[driveblade]

Your father gives excellent advice. Of course, with no means to trace the kidnappers, there's little I can offer you in that regard.

[ and — ]

I'm not sure how easily you could return home, either.

voice

[princesspool]

The police will take me home. They will catch the kidnappers and punish them swiftly!

voice

[driveblade]

What are these police you keep mentioning?

[ where he's from there are a lot of different forms of law enforcement — but not quite police. ]

voice

[princesspool]

The police are... the police!

[baby sonia doesn't have the entire thesaurus expansion her older self does.]

They catch bad people and punish them!

voice

[driveblade]

I'm not sure there's a designated force for that here.

[ but ... ! ]

Of course, I would be interested in bringing justice to guilty parties, if they could be found.

voice

[princesspool]

Hmmm... well... I guess I could make you an official officer of the court! Yes, as princess, I deem you... police-man!

voice

[driveblade]

[ oh, that's actually ... very cute. ]

While I appreciate the sentiment, I lack the proper training for such a title, princess.

voice

[princesspool]

If I deem you a policeman, you're a policeman! It's too late, because I said so!

voice

[driveblade]

Then perhaps you'd like to direct me to my duty?

voice

[princesspool]

Your first order will be to find the kidnappers and bring them swift justice! Then you will take me home to Mother and Father!

voice

[driveblade]

I'll get started immediately.

[ but he knows this isn't going to go anywhere, so — ]

Is there anything else you require while I investigate?

voice

[princesspool]

[She thinks.]

... You will get me a snack! And some juice!

voice

[driveblade]

Do you have any preferences, my lady?

voice

[princesspool]

Organic juice, no preservatives, and chocolate. I need my daily sugar intake.

[sleepybuster]

T-thank you...

[HE NEVER KIDNAPPED YOU THOUGH sighhhh]

Anyway... Do you know where this place is?

[princesspool]

I'm not sure. I don't leave the castle that much.

[sleepybuster]

So... there's a castle here? And you really are a princess...?

[He didn't see one anywhere! And he figures something so grand would be hard to miss...]

[princesspool]

Of course there is! Where else would a princess live?

[tsunball]

Wow, a million?! [ His brain can't even comprehend just how big exactly that number is. Just that it's a whole lot. ]

I didn't know people had to stay in jail for that long!

[princesspool]

Bad people should be in jail forever and ever!

[tsunball]

Well.. I guess that's right. If they do something really bad, I mean.

.. Stealing from the cookie jar isn't that bad, right? [ He doesn't want to go to jail since he did that at his parents' house, save him, Sonia.. ]

Re: [action]

[professionalbrat]

O-Oh, right! I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to forget!

My name's Kiyotaka Ishimaru! It's very nice to meet you! [And with a little bow of course, because possible kidnapping or no, manners are serious business.]

[action]

[princesspool]

Considering the circumstances... I will forgive you this time.
