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.

[Now there's a thought that has never once occurred to her.]

...Seminars? About what?

[It never crossed her mind that she has something to say that other people would want to hear.]

[momchester]

Maybe if this world gets an upsurge in monster activity. Or, hell, if someone discovers that there've always been monsters here.

[Nah, it's not a dangerous line at all. She's just puzzled as to how her weird life would be relevant here. But the idea that someone would be interested in what she has to say has officially gotten Tate on her Good Side.]

[momchester]

Alright.

[She doesn't entirely buy the homework excuse, because.... seriously, who would willingly go to school here? It's an eternal get-out-of-school free card. She knows what SHE would've chosen, in his shoes.]

Nice talking to you- Tate, is it?

[Names are next to the communications but she still feels weird without some kind of introduction. Call her old-fashioned.]

[momchester]

Mary's fine.

Have a good night, Tate. Nice meeting you.
