[A young girl, dressed in black, leans towards the camera. She's practically smiling with delight.]

Ah, Saint Germant outdid himself this time! It's a wonderful gift--I speak into this and it'll record my voice as well as my image? [She's talking to someone off-screen. Getting an answer the girl smiles even wider.] Hehe... If anyone could come up with this, my Saint Germant could!

[She pats the camera like one would pet a small dog. The way she tilts her head next indicates there's someone talking to her off-screen.] Don't worry, I'll have my tea in the garden like always. I'll show Brother this wonderful gift when he gets back home. Though, I must wonder...

[She pouts.] If a man has enough free time to design such machines wouldn't he have enough free time to visit the person he's engaged to? Oh, don't worry. I'll write him a letter about it later.

Now, little camera, it's just you and me. It's a little lonely, isn't it? Georik won't be back until sunset today... How about I sing you a rhyme? It might suit you, since you're made out of springs. [With that, the girl begins singing a soft nursery rhyme.] Hickory, dickory, dock...the mouse ran up the clock....

[The video ends.]

This one's my favorite:

Bah, bah, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
One for my master,
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy,
Who lives down the lane.

And... what does that one mean?

I'm not sure but it sounds nice.

That's somethin'.

Yes.

[She fidgets.]

Ah, it may be rude of me to ask but--you're a devil, aren't you?

Bingo. Lucifer, at your service.

[Like all his smiles, this one has too many teeth.]

[That's a bit disconcerting. ...There's also something at the back of her mind that is making her think that there's no way this could be the Lucifer. She doesn't know why, though.]

The Prince of Darkness...?!

[However, she's not going to listen to that thought.]
