1st hunt | video

[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.

Mostly, yeah. They don't want to be found out because if that happened, then it wouldn't just be isolated hunters. It'd be systematic extermination. The public would panic. And we outnumber them.

Wouldn't that be for the best? I mean, you could exterminate them completely if they came to light.

Well, try being the one to expose it. No matter what you did, it'd be written off as a hoax, CGI, or some kind of movie stunt.

It would eventually work. [ he knows. because that happened in hos world.

Though, they have knonw ghouls for hundred years, back then people were more gullible and believed everything their neighbor said. Maybe that's was easier to make them real ]

I don't think so. With the technology there, it's- it's so easy to make something that looks real. Everyone's too jaded to believe it.

[Something in his tone, though...]

What makes you so sure, anyway?

[ghoulking]

Because there are monsters as well.

Well, they did become exposed long before technology was this way. But I think when people are dying and the constant reason is "a monster", it'll come a time when everyone listens to you.

Maybe that's the difference. In modern times, there's too much cynicism and technology for everyone to believe in something so old-fashioned.

Not unless there are reports of the same happening everywhere.

In a way, it means those attacks aren't as common, which I suppose it's good.
