[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.]

[Trenchwood is way too dangerous for a kid to be living alone in. But, he's been a kid on his own in the world too. He doesn't know her, but he still knows damn well that if he tells her it's too dangerous she's not going to listen to him and push back harder.]

Nah, that's about all we've got for woods. It's either that or Stinky Town.

[He's trying to be friendly, but isn't about to blurt out that he's fretting over some kid he's never met before.]

You got food out there, kid? And a safe place to sleep?

[That's what matters most here.]

[Mebh knows Trenchwood isn't an ideal place to live, especially compared to the woods she was used to, but right now she just can't handle being in the town. It reminds her too much of what she's lost.]

I'll find somethin'. I'm good at smellin' food out.

[She's not above stealing food, either, even if she'd rather hunt for it. Fortunately she isn't too far from the Waystation.]

[charlastan]

[She seems pretty used to it, but that won't do her much good if there doesn't wind up being something to find.]

Yeah, well. You smell anything good out there now?

[Out of frame he's rummaging through his cupboards for no particular reason. Certainly not to find something to leave in the woods for this wild child he literally just met. ]
