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.

No shit. And when it ain't demons and vamps?

[momchester]

Uh, anything.

[Wow, what crawled up this guy's ass? Rude af.]

Wendigos, ghosts, werewolves, sirens, witches, shapeshifters... lots of stuff. There's no end of things that go bump in the night.

[ He isn't so much rude as he is impressed. Impressed and curious is more like it. ]

That why you have the guns out right now?

[momchester]

[Wow I drastically misinterpreted that "no shit."]

Oh- those?

[lol she forgot they were hanging around behind her.]

Well, it's why I have them at all. They're out because we were cleaning them earlier.

[inflated]

( That's my bad! I should've included a bracket of expression. Apologies! )

Cleaning 'em to be ready to go out? This place even have demons and vamps?

[momchester]

No, I don't think so. That's why I'm wondering what to do here. It's the only job I've ever had.

[inflated]

They got any bounty jobs here? Forget huntin' the monsters. Hunt the bad guys.

[momchester]

[Intriguing idea.]

Hmm. Maybe.

[inflated]

I'm sure this place is crawling in them.

[momchester]

But they’re probably all imPorts.

[inflated]

Normally I'd be all for shooting first and asking questions after, guess that shit ain't gonna fly here though.

[momchester]

Probably not. Especially since imPorts don’t usually stay dead, either.

[inflated]

So if I go and pop some punk for looking at me sideways, he'll just come back and probably keep on looking sideways at me. Great.

[ Not really. ]

[momchester]

Why would you- I- never mind, I probably don't want to know.

[inflated]

Why would I what? Pop 'em?

[momchester]

It’s not exactly the strongest reason for murder.

[inflated]

Didn't say I would put them six feet under. Maybe three feet under.

[momchester]

Hm.

That still sounds a lot like killing someone. For, what was it, "looking at you sideways"?

[She isn't actually sure if she's joking. A lot of the people here are low-key nuts.]
