[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?]

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.
