First Burn - [Video] - Forward dated to tomorrow morning 1/6

[When the video feed clicks on, it reveals a blonde teenager with a lot of hair, holding it up selfie-style, perched in a chair at a coffee shop somewhere, her legs propped up on another chair across from her and a large coffee resting on the edge of the table. She has a large piece of paper crumpled up in her lap, but she's looking at the camera. She gives a big smile and a friendly wave.]

Well they said we can use this to talk to everybody else who got so...Hey! I'm Yang! I guess it's nice to meet all of you, I mean, we're all in this crazy thing together, right?

[She stops to take a sip of her drink.] Though I guess it's not that crazy. Except for the whole 'other world' part, that's pretty wild. But the powers thing, they acted like that was weird.

Maybe it's weird for everybody else. Was it weird for all of you? Do most people seriously not have a semblance here? Or an aura? Everybody has an aura.

I guess that part is kinda weird.

Anyway! Iiiii've got a couple questions. About something much stranger than all that. Well. One question. No, two. Okay, first off, if anybody's seen a girl in a bright red cape, goes by Ruby Rose, let me know? She's my little sister.

[She sets her coffee down and picks up the crumpled up paper, which upon closer inspect is a map! Of the area around Maurtia Falls, probably the kind you would buy in a gas station.]

Second! The big weird question. Once I get a bike somehow, and I just hop on it and drive, you know, past whatever barriers are around these cities. Go like fifteen, twenty miles out. Is it really, actually, completely safe out there?

[She says this like it should be stranger.]

No grimm? No wrecked cities or old ruins?

'Cause that sounds kind of amazing. Big safe world. [A beat and she grins.] But also really boring.

It depends on what you consider a monster. [ Kaneki is one, for example- ]

in this world there are no monsters. Only the humans are the monsters, but they always remain human. With imPorts, though, things changed a bit on that end.

[alittlebitfiery]

So basically, no wild monsters.

Which means not much for a huntress to do, I guess.

[enucleation]

Not wild, no. [ well... some are. Sort of. But saying that out loud would be rude ]

I'm sure you will find something to do here, Yang.

[alittlebitfiery]

...Yeah, probably.

[She grins.]

Can't keep me down for long, really.

[ yup, he knows ]

You can explore the place, meanwhile. Who knows, maybe you'll find a hobby. or a job that fits your skills.

[alittlebitfiery]

Exploring is the plan!

The job they gave me is selling fireplaces. I reaaaaally don't think I'll be doing that long.

[enucleation]

Jobs usually don't fit us, so I understand the dislike.

[ Video ]

[alittlebitfiery]

So...they give everybody crappy jobs?

What's the point?

[enucleation]

Not everybody. Some jobs are pleasant, but I realize it's a rare occurrence.

I guess they just enjoy making it ironic, in some way.
