[Mary's expression is somber when she turns on the feed, she's more than aware that waking up to this kind of situation doesn't bode well. Still, her voice is remarkably calm with a hint of good natured humor. ]

Well, this is a first. I'm no detective, but even for a kidnapping this is a strange set up. Points for ambiance, though.

[She pauses.]

Is this a kidnapping, though? I'm not quite sure what the objective might be. If you've mistaken me as a rich heiress, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed.

[She flashes a small, if uncertain smile.]

And if I'm to be used as some kind of leverage, I'm afraid you'll be similarily disappointed. Perhaps it's best if we just lay all our cards on the table and see where we're at. Shall we?

Maybe they're just lonely. Everyone's gotta make friends somehow.

[notthefirst]

Well, while this is a memorable first impression, it's not a good one.

[hung_garian]

Didn't your mom ever teach you not to judge a kidnapper by its cover? First impressions aren't everything, sweetheart.

[notthefirst]

Oh, believe me. I know that better than most.

Loneliness can be excused, abduction cannot. How long have they been courting your friendship?

[hung_garian]

Ooh, a while. Five months, maybe - they're certainly persistent, I'll give 'em that. They don't give up easy.
