1st hunt | video

[momchester]

[The video starts a bit awkwardly, with the shakycam and fumbling of someone who isn't very practiced at the art of video chatting. A late-20-something woman's face is up close, clearly trying to figure out "how does I tech". After some fumbling, the camera stills and she sits back, looking a bit awkward.]

Okay. So, I guess this is what people do here. Calling the Internet using cameras.

[She looks too young and modern to be so fail at technology.]

Anyway- hi. I'm new.

Let's just say I didn't go to the, um, shitshow today- Thank God... Let's say I'm not gonna register. Don't wanna put on tights and fight crime, or whatever.

What're my options? Learn to knit? [There are at least three (3) guns visible in the video. She does not look like a knitter.] Start a [air quotes] "blog"?

I can't exactly do what I did back home- no monsters to hunt. No day job to go back to.

I kinda don't know what to do with myself.

You'll find there are still threats to the city, even without registering. People will still need help, whether or not you wish to be official. You won't have very much reason to sit to side.

They might not be the same monsters you faced back home, but you will find strange creatures sometimes or threats that are supernatural.

If I'm not registered, isn't that a crime called vigilantism?

[Said softly, but with a tone that suggests she isn't a stranger to breaking the law.]

Yes, but I don't think it will matter very much. When there are riots in the streets, no one is asking if you are registered, only if you are willing to protect the bystanders.

You have time to consider whether or not you want to register. The only real benefit is the help they can offer if you want to move or a new job. It isn't so great an obligation as you might think. I wondered the same when I arrived.

[Listening thoughtfully.]

Are you registered?

I am, but it wasn't an easy decision to make. I spoke with a friend about it first.

Which city did they put you in?

Heropa. But I hate Florida, so I went to Maurtia Falls.

Good thing, too. I found my husband here.

Be on your guard. Maurtia Falls is a dangerous city and is often hit the worst during the riots and whatever other crime happens.

You are lucky to have family here.
