I ♎ video
[the feed begins, showing a woman with red hair, fair skin, teal irises, and scarlet glasses, glaring so intensely at the camera you'd think she was trying to burn it with her eyes. she's absolutely unhappy with the current situation for several reasons, the first being--]
I am sure someone is viewing this, and who ever is should know where the hell I am. If this is supposed to be paradise for the dead, this is the poorest rendition of it I've ever seen. And trust me, I've heard of one with Faygo rivers and trees that grow special stardust. I believe I'd take that over this.
[even after their subtle betrayal, she'd take the damn clowns' idea of heaven, and all the clowns in it. at least then she'd be in her own body, and would understand so much more about it.]
The matter of where can be addressed with ease, as can the matter of why I'm here, how I was brought, and who did so. What I do not understand is the "what" of things. Particularly, what am I? Am I some sort of slug? A strange relative of the cholerbear? Is this what reincarnation really is? If it is, I think I would've been more content as a ghost.
[she gives a thoughtful pause, then softens slightly. her answers would come in due time. they always did. no need to be so upset... her gaze focuses back onto the camera, but this time it is not so harsh.]
If anyone has any information regarding any of my questions, please contact me as soon as possible. I am willing to work with anyone who has an idea of what is happening to me. [her calm facade shifts into something a bit more manic, a grin suddenly splitting her face.] And if anyone has any intelligence on the pirate, Marquise Spinneret Mindfang, please report it to me as well. [for what reasons? none that could be too good. before the feed ends, redglare winks, and offers few parting words:]
A good evening to you. Until we meet again.
[end feed.]

Aren't you human?
[ what the fuck is a cholerbear? ]
video
Uh, no. No, I am not. I don't even know what that is.
[god, that girl looks... kind of like her? are there MORE of them? more delicate meatbags with multicoloured hair? this place is TERRIBLE...]
video
You look like a human. What do you think you are? [ she sounds snippy. THIS BETTER NOT BE A RIDDLE. ]
video
I look like a human... [she extends her hand and looks at it for a moment. it's. pinkish. it's so weird.] I'm not human. I'm a troll. [that's the most clever joke anyone could make... if they weren't so serious. but she is.]
video
Are you sure?
video
Absolutely. I wouldn't lie about what I am when I cannot afford to.
video
[ fine. be a troll. ]
You're stuck here so you might as well get used to it.
video
I figured as such. Nothing around here budges. Are all the doors and windows this stubborn?
And does this planet have a sun? Or does the atmosphere never let it through?
video
video
What else is there? Trapdoors? Ladders that lead up? Fences to jump over? Portals that only respond to certain words?
video
I think I would have noticed ladders or trapdoors but I haven't really been looking for portals. [ whatever a portal is. ]
video
Portals might be a good thing to look out for. How else would we be getting here?
video
I haven't figured it out yet.
video
[cashmere might not be the expert, but someone who specialises in interdimensional logistics has to be at the hotel. it's not her, of course, but she knows a little bit about the science of transportalisers.]
I have my suspicions on the portals, of course. I want to know if they're right.
video
[ unless... her brow furrows. she's just remembered they are down a few residents. ]
There are some people who were here before who are now... not here. No one seems to know where they went.
video
[colour her curious. people are brought here, then thrown away. but where do they go? and how do they go? she can't help but smirk at this development-- their management is growing more interesting, and certainly fearsome, as the seconds pass.]
Perhaps they knew what to look for, and took the knowledge with them. I do not know the nature of your species, but I doubt "altruistic" is high on the common traits list.
video
That's true.
video
Perhaps you and I [it's rather early to be forming alliances, but one might say it's never too early to do so.] can find someone here that is both intelligent and selfless. [if they can be sent home, and they have the true knowhow, perhaps they can determine beyond the where. maybe they can determine the when.]
video
[ because she really doesn't believe that things will stay peaceful for long. ]
video
[while redglare isn't worried about the state of peace, she doesn't know how long her second chance at life will be. a preemptive strike is absolutely necessary. though, perhaps it would be best if she knew who her allies were. at least she should know--]
I don't believe I caught your title.
video
video
Do humans go by their hatchname, and not their given title? [then what good was a title if no one used it?! would she have to use her hatchname too? no. NEVER. but there something more interesting than any of that.]
A Victor? Of what?
Re: video
hatchname though... ]
Cashmere is the name my parents gave me. I'm a Victor because I won the Hunger Games. It's a fight to the death.
video
[her eyebrows furrow together, and she thinks that she should make a list-- there are many differences between her and these humans. while the words come to her tongue naturally, the meanings and translations aren't always seamless.
there was much to learn about these creatures, especially since she was one of them.
the death bit doesn't even faze her. in fact, she doesn't look shocked, or even impressed. instead, redglare appears a bit confused.]
...Is fighting to death not common for you?
Re: video
Uh - older humans who raised me when I was a small human.
[ birds and the bees discussion avoided?? maybe?? at least she can handle this question about fighting. ]
Only when we're at war and not for children - which I was.
