[You know where people probably shouldn't make video based announcements from? A bar. But here Kara is, tucked away in a corner with the device propped against her beer, so she doesn't have to hold it, freeing up her hand for the cigarette she's smoking.

At least it's only early evening, so the background noise isn't as bad as it could be.]


Okay, hi, uh-- fuck. [Off to a good start, as she forgets where she was even going with this. Maybe she should've written some notes, but at least she's got the basics down before she thought about addressing the network.] Never been much for the whole youtube thing, but I guess this is how we do things here.

[She runs a hand through her hair; her tattoo is hidden under a collection of leather bracelets, because she really doesn't like being marked against her will.]

Whatever, point is, name's Kara, and I'm not gonna take up too much of your time. I don't give a shit about this cold war bullshit or playing heroes, but I heard there's assignments, missions, whatever they wanna call 'em, and if you're going on one, you should come to me first. I won't bore you with the long explanation, but I can give you a little bit of extra luck in a fight. It won't make you invulnerable or nothing, but it's the best I can do unless you happen to follow the Old Norse religion. [Her overall demeanor is "unimpressed and surly", but with that sentence her gaze flicks away from the screen, a little wistful before she remembers herself.] If you do happen to, let's talk.

[She doubts anyone is going to take her up on that, though, even if she has to say it just to make sure. It's been a long time since she's expected more than a few re-enactors who take things too seriously. Even the few pagans tend to prefer Celtic religion over the Norse, so she isn't getting her hopes up.]

Second order of business, someone tell me where I can buy decent cigarettes, 'cause these ones taste like shit.

[And with that, Kara cuts the feed.

She's all about first impressions.]

Does the luck thing only work in a fight?

Not like that, but like... Maybe before a fight? Like, luck not getting my head randomly chopped off by the monster of the week while I'm on my way to work?

[have a surly teenager's face pop up on the thread]

Fair warning. I'm underage.

[not that she's saying no really.]

Ah well. It was worth a shot.

Don't worry about it. My head probably grows back, anyway.

You know what, I never tried it, but I sure as hell hope it's just one.

I guess technically I'm a mutant now, since I mutated and all. You know. Powers. You got the talk, right? They're supposed to give you a file. Or I guess maybe they don't if you came here with 'em already. Anyway, before that, I was human.

I dunno. Probably.

I do if you're buying.

Everybody has a problem with it. They never shut up about it.

[personal profile] hostage 2014-05-24 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno. It's creepy as hell, but what am I gonna do about it? If they could drag me all the way here and change my whole damn DNA or whatever, it's a safe bet they could just vaporize me if I get outta line. That's what everybody's thinking. Be stupid not to.

Unfortunately. Three months but it's not as long as some people.
