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.

Do you do the tongue flicky thing?

No, but I'm cold blooded and I hatched from an egg.

[You're super lucky she doesn't know jack about science, because if she did she'd be quietly wondering about cloacas next.]

What's being cold-blooded like? Do you have to, like, carry a heating lamp around with you?

[That's probably for the best, because his canon doesn't actually establish what he has, so I'm not sure what the answer would be.]

No, no. I have enough mass that as long as I get warmed up really well, I can hold onto heat for a while when I go out. And while bundling up won't do anything for heat I've already lost, if I bask somewhere warm, then bundle up, it might slow down how quickly I lose heat.

Video; the friendliness of this conversation makes the log even sadder

[She mulls over that for a minute, before-]

I can't imagine your heating bill.

Video; it does

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, well...I'm still not that good at estimating the value of money on this planet, so it's kind of hard to tell what's high and what's not.

Video; 8(

Heh, fair enough.

Good luck with winter. You might need a few extra jobs to afford the heat bill.

I'm living in Heropa. I should be good.
