[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.]

[ Why are all of her friends (is Wolf Girl a friend? they like the same stuff, whatever, Alice hates overthinking things, they are friends now) so stupid sad about people lately, this sucks. At least Wolf Girl is screaming properly about it instead of going oh I'm fine while lying like a big liar like some other people she could name! ]

We live in the Trenchwoods, if you've got a safe house or den or whatever you can sneak through the creepy parts with those weird lanterns.

[ From the background, Alice does seem to be in the woods. Most of what can be seen is gnarled tree trunk and dull red leaves - she's blending right in, intentional or not. The ambience is creepy as all get out here, but she does have to rank it as a little better than the Abyss. ]

[There are only so many emotions that Mebh can bottle up until she can't hide them anymore. She's never been very good at hiding her feelings anyway.]

Then I need to find a den. I can't stay in that town.

[Not without Robyn.]

[ Makes sense, the town does smell weird and always like different things. Alice would definitely pitch a fit about it if she had to live in a small cramped place and it smelled weird. ]

If you find a good empty place, it's empty for a reason. Like killer ghosts. Some candle kid showed me how to take down ghosts; you hit them with salt or silver and you get a paleblood to do some stuff.

[ She's speaking with confidence and authority, for perhaps this case it is warranted. On the other hand she is also encouraging an approximate ten year old to go live in a haunted woods. It's fine, she has wolves with her. However, there's a lot of hand stuff when you're fighting ghosts. Wolves don't have hands. That's a problem. ]

If you find ghosts, you can call me and I'll fight them with you.
