*From upstairs, some clattering and general banging around is heard, and a figure which is presumeably a little girl starts making it's way down the stairs. I say "presumed" because she does have long hair, curly hair, although most of those curls at the moment may be tangles and dirt. Her clothing and every inch of exposed skin is also covered in dirt, her shirt is ripped in spots, and she has a few small cuts and broozes. She also smells vaguely of seawater, animal filth, and general unclenlyness.*
Jana: Daddy, daddy, I'm home! Oh, at last I'm home! *looks around to make sure it is her home.* Oh, I made it! *Calms down.* I knew I would. Oh, hi all you strange people. Anyway, daddy, lemme tell you about what happened to me! I was in my room taking a nap, at least, I think I was taking a nap, I don't know 'cause I was asleep. Anyway, then I was in this really hot place, with a lot of dust and sand. I think I've been there before, or somewhere just like it. That's right, it was a desert! Anyway, I didn't know how to get back, but then a guy on a horse came by, so I jumped on the back of it. I asked the guy the horse's name, and he said it didn't have one. Have you ever heard of a horse with no name, daddy? Anyway, we rode all the way to the sea, so I jumped off the horse's back, and grabbed the side of a ship that was passing by. Oops, guess I should'a asked where it was going. Didn't think 'o that. Anyway, I got here, so it's all okay. So I rode the rail all the way ober. I guess I could'a boarded, what with us all bein' pirates and all, but nothing beets the feeling of seaspray in your hair, or those cute little fish biting at your ankles! Anyway, when we docked, I found some weird-looking guy, and told him to drive me home and I'd pay him..someday. He said I was cute, and he'd drive me home for free. Anyway, when I got here, I climed the tree outside my bedroom window, and came in. I probably could'a used the front door, but that would'a been boooring. *intones it like in Bored Stiff episode of Fraggle Rock.* *takes deep breath.* Gosh, I'm tired. *collapses on floor and immediately falls asleep.*
