[The video starts with a very close-up view of Mebh's face as she tries to figure out if her Omni is even working or not. She hasn't made much of an effort to use the Omni up until now, since she's not familiar with this kind of technology at all. Eventually she pulls away; though the camera is still at a noticeable angle, the backdrop looks as though she's somewhere around the Waystation, since the windmill can be seen. She's flanked on either side by two grey, yellow-eyed wolves, one of whom leans forward to sniff at the camera for a moment before Mebh rolls her eyes and nudges it away.]
Robyn said I could use this thing to talk to people. [Her expression briefly changes to a sadder one. Mentioning Robyn hurts. Robyn had said they would look for their parents together while they were here, but now she's gone and Mebh can't find her. Though she can't dwell on that right now, because she has a Complaint.]
So isn't there a real forest around here? Not like the Trenchwood place. There's nothin' good in there and it smells all nasty.
[And there's something about it that seems even worse at night; she can't bring herself to go in when it's dark out, because even she can tell it's not safe, though she's not going to admit that easily.]
But I'm not livin' in the town. Not ever. Dunno how anybody can stand all those smells.
[There's a very stubborn look in her eyes when she says this. Even if this world is more dangerous than the one she remembers and there are far worse things living here than people who hunt wolves, she hates the idea of caging herself in. And she can't live in a town when it reminds her that the only friend she had from home has now disappeared.
For a moment, Mebh goes quiet...and then she suddenly bares her teeth and lets out a guttural growl, the screen shaking violently as she takes the Omni and throws it on the ground in anger and frustration. The screen shows the sky for a few moments before it shuts off.]

Sorry dude, there's only the messed up woods around the city. Um.... [Since she's talking about it....]
If you're not living in the city, where're you staying?
[Because even though she seems pretty capable, this place is still really dangerous.]
no subject
[Mebh is honestly not very good at thinking rationally when she's angry or upset, and Robyn's disappearance was the last straw for her. All she wanted to do was get out of the city, and she hasn't really taken other options into account aside from confirming that being in Trenchwood at night is a really bad idea.]
no subject
[Sounds like it sucks, actually.]
What about Robyn? Is she with you?
[She always seemed pretty responsible, surely she'd be finding housing for them that's safe?]
no subject
[She'd followed Robyn's scent to the beach, but once she got there the trail went cold.]
no subject
[He isn't sure if people 'wake up' like they did in Deerington, but not being able to find her isn't good. It could mean all kinds of things - that she's dead, that she's somehow left this world, that she's left the city....]
Geez Mebh, I'm sorry. That's really rough.
no subject
[Now she's almost at the end of her rope. Even if this place isn't ideal, Mebh though she'd at least be somewhat okay as long as Robyn was here with her.]
...I dunno what else to do.
no subject
I think... I think if you don't know, then do what you think Robyn and your mom would want you to do. Which would probably be to make sure you're okay, right?
[He's guessing that, but it seems reasonable, and it might be a good way to get Mebh focused on her wellbeing instead of something potentially dangerous, like trying to find Robyn.]
no subject
[Mebh pauses to think about that.]
But...I dunno what they'd want me to do in a place like this.
[She's honestly not sure. Back home, her mother told her to look after the wolves while she was gone, and then Robyn told her to leave for her own safety when the townies planned to burn the woods down. But in a place where neither the town nor the woods were favourable...]
no subject
[Let's start with the obvious thing, here.]
Especially in a city like this one, where even the forest is total grease.
