[An uncertain looking Red fidgets on the screen - even now, she still doesn't quite know what she's doing with this device; but...]

Was... Anyone hurt last night? I heard howling.


[Gender changes? What gender changes? Was she supposed to be noticing that?]

[cognidis]

[ Now, that's an odd question. ]

I...don't know?

[ Derp. ]

I think there's howling every night.

audio;

[canfindrope]

...Really? [But... the wolf couldn't be out every night; could it?]

audio;

[cognidis]

There's a lot of monsters out there that make weird sounds at night, yeah.

audio;

[canfindrope]

Oh.


...I thought I heard a wolf, is all.

audio;

[cognidis]

...I've never heard a wolf.

[ He's not much help, sadly. :c ]

There might have been a creature that...sounded like one? Not many animals can survive out there at night.

audio;

[canfindrope]

It's a really big... furry animal.


ooc: oops. DX

audio;

[cognidis]

Like a dog, right?

audio;

[canfindrope]

Only bigger; and with claws.

[video]

[faustianism]

[Oh, that's right. With all the gender changing, a full moon might go a little unnoticed... welp.]

A bit of it, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Why-ever do you ask?

[video]

[canfindrope]

I... I think I heard something, is all; and...

[video]

[faustianism]

You wouldn't believe the monsters that are out here. There used to be a giant wolf walking about, you know.

[video]

[canfindrope]

...Really? How giant?

[video]

[faustianism]

Very big. As tall as a brick building, or perhaps one made of straw.

[video]

[canfindrope]

I don't think I've ever heard of that one.

[video]

[faustianism]

I hadn't either, till I came here. I believe the wolf is still on the bounty hunting list.

[video]

[canfindrope]

Really? [Maybe this would be blamed on it...]

[video]

[faustianism]

Yes. Here's it's a bar called Mugshots, a Mr... Deathstroke, I believe, runs it. He'll have all the answers for you on the bounty for that wolf.

[video]

[canfindrope]

[She frowns; almost considering; she doubts it's any relation to her, but...] Deathstroke?

[video]

[faustianism]

You'll find, dearie, that there are a lot of people here who don't always go by their given name.

[video]

[canfindrope]

Why wouldn't they? Is someone after them?

[video]

[faustianism]

Perhaps. I wouldn't go around asking that, of course.

[video]

[canfindrope]

I guess they wouldn't much like it, huh...

Re: [video]

[faustianism]

But if you don't ask, how will you ever know? Such a Catch 22.

[video]

[canfindrope]

I'm starting to think you want to mess with me, Mr. Gold/.

[video]

[faustianism]

Wouldn't dream of it, dearie. I just am finding it fun to talk to someone new.

[video]

[canfindrope]

[You're getting a suspicious look, Mr. Gold.]

[video]

[faustianism]

[Smiles.] Maybe I should let you be on your way.

[video]

[canfindrope]

I guess I'll see you later.

[inthejunk]

Howling? Is that unusual in your sector? I hear weird noises all the time. But you're right that people shouldn't be going outside at night...are you new here? Someone told you about that, right?

[canfindrope]

I don't know; I'm new.

But... yeah. Someone said that.

[inthejunk]

Good. It's true, alright? Look after yourself, especially if you're hearing funny noises close by.

[canfindrope]

Uh-hm. I promise.

[inthejunk]

Attagirl. Er. Ma'am.

[Says the young lady on the other side of the feed, as if it's totally normal. Yep, welcome to Siren's Port.]

[canfindrope]

...Is something wrong?

[inthejunk]

You're new here but you'll find out soon. There's almost always something wrong around here.

[canfindrope]

What do you mean?

[inthejunk]

Something stupid happens here all the time.

[She rolls her eyes.]

Or worse, something horrible. I don't want to scare you, but you probably should know.

[canfindrope]

Something horrible? [How horrible?]

[inthejunk]

Yeah, you definitely need to watch your back. It sounds paranoid, but I promise it's not.

[canfindrope]

Couldn't you try and explain it?

[inthejunk]

I'm...yeah, I guess I should since I brought it up. It's just hard to-well, that's not fair to you though, so here goes.

[She takes a breath and holds it for a second, then exhales slowly. Okay. Ready. Maybe.]

Last time, it was...people were taken away. Locked up in a-ugh. In a sporting facility. They were uh. Um.

['Nother breath, and a shrug. She closes her eyes and finally spits it out.]

They were hunted. A-as trophies. Tortured, and stuff. Some of them died.

[canfindrope]

Why would someone do that?

[inthejunk]

Because they're evil, twisted, fucks!

[Oops. She claps a hand over her mouth, remembering what she looks like at the moment, though most likely appearing to simply object to her own wording.]

Um. What I mean is, they don't like us newcomers here. And that includes you, ma'am. So please try to be careful.

[canfindrope]

[She nods, expression firming. She can deal with this.] Promise.

[inthejunk]

Good. Then I guess you'll be fine.

[canfindrope]

Don't worry; I'll be fine.
