22. itty bitty christmas

[orderfromchaos]

[Day one, text + voice]

9 1 1

Hello? Someone took my parents. And my house.


[Day two, spam]

[Did six-year-old Dillon find tiny old roller skates in the back of his closet? Yes he did. He is now about to crash into you, probably.]


[Day three, video]

[A tiny redhead is absolutely swimming in a vaguely blasphemous christmas sweater. He's in the chapel, and he sings Away in a Manger in a clear, lovely soprano. He bites his lip for a moment afterward.]

Are we going to have a tree? Will someone else come light candles? I'm not supposed to play with fire.


[Day three, spam]

[Find Dillon with excessive candy canes hooked into the collar of his oversized sweater, trailing tinsel, attempting to stack a chair on top of a ladder so that he can hang up mistletoe and wreaths almost as big as he is.]

They didn't take your house. They only brought you here, and just for a little while.

Your face is on the phone!

Of course it is, it's a video phone! [ Krypton's communications are basically all either holographic or video, this is entirely normal. ]

Now yours is too.

It's like the future!

[Well, you're not wrong. Dillon waves enthusiastically.]

[ She waves back, though not nearly as energetically. ]

Hello. I'm Kara. What's your name?

[inateacup]

I'm Dillon Cole. Are you from here?

[notdreaming]

No- I mean, I work here, but I'm not from here originally. I'm from a planet called Krypton.

What's it like there?

[notdreaming]

It's wonderful.

[ She smiles, though there's a touch of sadness to it. ]

Nobody gets sick, or hurts other people, or goes hungry just because there isn't enough food.
