A scruffy tomboy enters the building...

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Clad in her usual over-sized and boyish clothing, 10 year old Helena Dolph walks in a seemingly calm manner down the halls of the nexus. She's nervous of couse, but not showing it. Her father had prepared her for this type of situation... She just can't let the fear get to her.]

[All Helena has to do is find a way out of here and call for help, right? And if she should run into her captors... well...

...She'll just have to show them that they picked the wrong kid to abduct. Young!Fortune may not be a child soldier, but she IS a kid growing up in NYC, and the daughter of a proud Marine commandant. Daddy didn't raise no fool.]

"Pfft. And mom said that dad was being "overprotective" with those self-defense lessons. Shows how much SHE knows..."

Hello little girl!

[Osan is always happy, and this is the first time she's ever been able to greet anyone. Too bad Kohal had to go wander off with that strange pointed ear'd man.]

Are you lost?

[:D]

...YOU'RE the one who brought me here...?

[Helena adjusts her baseball cap to look up at the woman, wondering if she should just yell for help or something. This lady doesn't LOOK scary, but 'the wackos never do', they say...]

[D: ]

I did no such thing! I came here with Owl.

[Holds up Owl... Who is currently a little Owl plush doll.]

Brawk?

[Hey? Who's this?]

Awrk~

[A seagull waddles over to say hello~]

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Helena stops mid-walk.]

...Pretty....

[She rarely allows herself to act "girly", but the tomboy has always held a special place in her heart for birds]

[featheredplague.livejournal.com]

[He's just gonna nibble at your shoelaces until you pay attention to him.]

Rwk~

...

Queen?

[Vamp remembered seeing photographs of Helena as a child. Scott had showed him photo albums in the past. He recognized that face any day, even if it belonged to someone twenty years younger than his Fortune.]

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Blinks]

[Helena looks around, confused. Is this a tourist, maybe? He DOES look kinda foreign...]

Um, I think you mean QueenS. But this is the Bronx. If you're looking for Queens, go east. I think you need the F-train.

[vampdolph.livejournal.com]

[Vamp is highly amused. He smiles down at the child, before crouching to get at eye level.]

You are not where you believe you are. This is not your home.

[sweetlilmonster.livejournal.com]

[Lil Vamp is confuzzled]

Helena?

Adrian It's a Helena!

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Helena relaxes a bit once she sees another kid, though she doesn't normally get along well with people her own age. She quirks a brow as he mentions her name.]

...Are you... in my class or something...?

[foxhoundmantis.livejournal.com]

[Have a pissy, floating, flailing puppet!] Jesus Christ when did I become Miss Hannigan?

[Wolf stared...and stared...and stared...and stared.]

Helena?!

[Even if she was considerably younger than the one he knew, there was no mistaking it.]

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Nonchalantly picks her nose]

And you are....?

[owmytits.livejournal.com]

...Fortune?

[She sighed.

It's not like it's something unexpected, with the way this place is]

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

Who...?

[She stares a moment before smiling] Hey, that's a really neat outfit!

someday I need to get off my ass and redo CW's icons...

[girlwhocried.livejournal.com]

[So that stupid invisible ghost wolf of hers has been saying she needs to face her fears.

So. CW slowly sidles up to the girl, keeping a safe distance.]

Lost?

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates before responding]

Yeah, I think so... but if you could just tell me where the subway is, I think I can make it home.

[vamplostispenis.livejournal.com]

[Stare]

...

Fortune?

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

Why do people keep calling me that??

[lucky-concept.livejournal.com]

.......

[Fortune laughs once seeing her younger, scruffy self. She almost forgot about the carefree days of her childhood. Running around with bandages on her legs and dirt on her face, constantly competing against neighborhood boys, beating up the occasional bully.... good times. Even if she was a bit lonely back then.]

...Do you know where you are?

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

What are you laughing-

....at.....

[Helena stares, completely shocked. It's like a female version of dad, but with moms eyes!]

A- are you me!?

[gunfiredlullaby.livejournal.com]

[Esme glanced at the new arrival.]

Another girl?

[Eyebrow raise.] I am Esme. Who're you?

[lolimisfortune.livejournal.com]

[Bah! Helena doesn't usually fit in well with other girls DX]

...Hi. I'm Helena.

Helena Dolph. [Fumbles with her cap a bit uncomfortably]
