[ the video opens on our hero a very tired looking woman, clearly laying on her assigned bed in the communal housing area, biting her lower lip and fiddling with her phone. once she realizes she's got it recording, she starts speaking. ]

So somebody decided to combine forums, vlogging, and FaceTime all in one neat social media package. [ cat pulls a face. ] Yeah, I don't feel any less awkward just talking to a phone camera than I did when my brother decided he wanted to start vlogging and I absolutely had to be in his first video.

[ she sighs and pushes some stray hairs off her forehead. ]

Alright, so. If I'm going to be here for a while, and it looks like I am, there's a couple things I want to know. The first is why there are so many goddamn foxes in this city? It's like catdog central here. Second, just how dangerous does stuff get outside the inhabited part of the city? Is exploring past the first fences more like taking a hike in a forest in Wyoming where no one can hear you scream or walking through, I don't know, the Serengeti or Amazon? I'm not really inclined to go there either way, but just in case one of the outdoorsy nuts I know from home gets pulled here, I want to be able to sit them down and tell them why going there is a bad idea and why they shouldn't drag me along.

[ there's a pause, and cat looks up and to the side, away from the camera, clearly thinking. ]

I think that's it. Wait, no. Just in case one of my new roomies snores, is there somewhere I can get good but cheap earplugs around? I've got my headphones from home with me but I can't really sleep with those on.

It depends. If you're a coward, it might feel dangerous and intimidating. It's not.

( Says the murder child. )

There's a store near the movie theater that sells different kinds of ear plugs and wireless earbuds, if you want an alternative to your headphones.

Unless they've got magic or a gun, it's kinda dangerous.

[Or a magic gun! you never know.]

I mean, half the time I don't run into anything out there, but there's definitely more than just cool birds or whatever. Shit can and will try to eat you.

I'd call it the Amazon if you know what you're walking into. Toss in a side of Mount Doom if you need to ask.

(Wyoming, Serengeti, Amazon? Lucretia props her chin on her hand, both elbows on the table.)

Sorry, but I haven't– uh, I'm not familiar with any of those places? I think it's less... Wyoming and more the other two, if the other two are also full of large monsters that would absolutely hear you if you screamed.
