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.

Vampire god? [ A god of vampires. Ughhhhh why is this reality??? ] How is there a vampire god? Jeez. Okay, so what happens if he dies? Do the rest of them die too?

This is crazy. Is this real? [ Don't mind the mild freakout. ] The world is a scary place.

[momchester]

My world. [Quick with the correction.] It might not be the same one as yours. Even if it is- then you know the world's full of people like me, who know. Who hunt them, so people like you can sleep at night.

Man, do us normies owe you a debt of gratitude.

[ Seriously.

Maybe he better check under his bed next time, just to be sure there aren't creepy-crawlies living under there without his knowing.

(He hasn't done that since he was six.) ]

Are there a lot of guys like you? Like big task forces? Factions? A top-secret department somewhere in DC?

You ever heard of the Men in Black? Are they real, too?

[momchester]

[Okay, Jake, Mary officially likes you.]

Men in Black?

OH. Is that the alien movie?

[Someone missed out on 33 years of pop culture.]

Uh-huh. [ Affirmative on the alien movie. ] Oh, man. If they're real too, then it's like the whole world I know is a lie.

[ But -- ]

A glorious lie.
