-ello, HEL-lo, helloooooh?
[ someone's finally got a hold of her phone, and no, she's never seen anything like this before, not really ( this certain someone was born in the 1995 okay ), so it's taken her a good amount of time to figure it out. but she's seen other people talking on it, watched videos of people talking to it and seen people respond, so she kind of gets it. she's a bright kid.
well, she's trying. her face is like THISCLOSE to the screen, and at first it looks like she thinks she has to talk into the camera to get it to work, so you're getting a close-up shot of a lot of baby teeth, but then she notices the view on the screen and pulls it back with a "whoa!" and a big giggle. but then she's making herself calm down, sort of, pushing her bangs down flat with a hand, like she has to make sure she looks presentable now that she knows she's on camera ]
Hello, my name is Gwen- Stacy and I'm looking for my daddy, his name is Captain Stacy. I'm s-upposed to call the police if I'm ever lost or don't know where I am but I don't know how to call 9-1-1 on this phone, can someone please help me try to find find- the 9 and 1 on the screen, thank you.
[ is that all she wanted to say? she takes a deep breath like she might continue, but then she pauses- hm. she needs to think about it. ]
Also I'd like to have a snack now, please, thank you.
[ -- wait ]
But I'm not supposed to take food from strangers, sooo-
Can someone show me where the kitchen is, please?
[ yes! that seems like the right thing to do. she nods, okay now, all done, then fusses with the phone until the screen clicks off ]

[ A the door, he rummage in the mess of coats and produced his army hat. The image blurred and shifted as he put it on. He refocused the camera so she could see it on him. ]
Lieutenant Colonel Ian Gallagher!
[ He proclaimed the name proudly as he opened the door. ]
The army's kinda like cops, right?

[ no she doesn't get what that means, she just remembers her dad telling her it was okay that people called him that now. it was like how she called her pre-school teacher "Miss Blakely" only instead of "Miss" her dad is "Captain". that's.. the only way it makes sense to her ]
I think so.
It's nice to meet you, Loo-ten-it Kernel Gallagher.
[ all very slow, like she has to make sure she's saying it right ]

[ She had to be the youngest kid he'd spoken to since this started, and he was really worried. How could the Admiral let stuff like this happen? He was already headed toward the stairwell. ]
You gotta do a favor for me, okay, Gwen? Can you open your door and tell me the number that's on it?
no subject
[ luuuckily she's already opened the door to check the number before ]
It says seven one zero.
-- No! I made a mistake.
Seven zero one.
no subject
[ Just three floors down. Not that far. Thankfully, it wasn't Zero again. ]
Do you know what snacks you wanna get?
no subject
Do you have Goldfish here?
no subject
We might! And if they don't have any in the big kitchen, I know I've got some in mine. I could get those for you!
no subject
I'll even share, I promise.
no subject
You don't gotta do that, there's plenty for everyone.
no subject
[ WELL IF HE INSISTS ]
Then I'll eat a lot of them.
