[This is a very comfy forest, really. The sunlight's warm, and Katie curls up near a fallen branch and near faceplants into a patch of new spring flowers and waits for Snow White to maybe come dancing through her dreams, or Bambi, or maybe a couple rebel fighters on an awesome speeder bike chase that she can help with. Ewoks, even. Look, it's her dream, okay. She'll will one of these things into existence if she can manage it.

It takes her a long while to realise she's not actually sleeping, and that's ... a little concerning. Because to her knowledge she doesn't make a habit of going to sleep anywhere other than her very cozy bed, and she doesn't remember why she'd be out here.

Sleepwalking. All the way out here? Kidnapped. Her parents aren't rich. By aliens. That's a little better, but still kind of worrying. There's a distinct level of nervous settling over her now because she's entirely alone in the middle of a place she doesn't recognise, and she's just not adventurous enough to want to be out here without any obvious way of getting home.

It's not her fault, is it? She can't get into trouble if it's not her fault. (Is today a school day?)

It's when she staggers upright, still yawning, that her foot catches on the edge of something and she thumps back down to earth with a startled sound, turning to glare at whatever she'd touched (why are her feet bare?), and stares at the journal lying in the grass with her name stencilled on the front. And Katie reaches for it, because if it has her name maybe it has an explanation, and... the sight of it touches off muzzy memories of its own. Familiar, somehow.

So she opens it.

Oh. She knows what this is.]

...hello?

[Vash had been wandering the forest looking to see if he could find any new budding flowers.

Finding a little girl about his own "age" was not what he was expecting. His first reaction is to duck behind a tree. After a couple seconds he pokes his head back out.] Ah, hello.

[Oh look. It's a Katie. Clearly everything is right with the world and nothing hurts]

Yo, Katie-chan~!

Katie?! [That is all she gets for the moment as Jack lets out a very lengthy sigh of relief. She's back.]

[The girl had been suspiciously missing for the past while that Raine had been back to her normal self. So noticing that she seems to have made an entry, she'll listen to the others until Katie seems to have a free moment.]

Hello Katie. You had me worried.

[The face that appears isn't one she knows, nor is the voice immediately recognizable, but the note of hesitation in it is enough to catch Vivi's attention.]

Hello. Do you need some help?

[After a few days of enforced bed rest Ayumu is feeling better than she had been, but she's bored. Incredibly bored. Bored enough... to actually respond.]

Hello!

[ katie. buffy recognizes the voice even from that -- and the girl has been on her mind ever since jack confided in her, five days ago, that the girl hadn't been around. and with an unknown vampire on the prowl, they had all been on edge... ]

You have no idea how happy I am to hear those two syllables. Hi.

You've been quiet lately. Everything alright over there?

Katie?
