One Moon ℂ Video

[claimyourself]

[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

Not much they could do anyhow. Stay put, I'll come fetch you and we'll have a cuppa tea. I'll explain things to you if you like.

[She's definitely wary of this. Someone helping her out of the blue? It doesn't seem right.]

You want to help me? Just like that?

I was new here once too. I got lucky. Got friends here. Not everyone does. 'Sides 'm offerin' tea and information, not a place to live.

I don't need a place to live, but information is something I'd like a bit more of.

[And as far as Lena can tell on the tiny video screen, this woman's eyes aren't gold, so she's sure this isn't some Dark Caster trap.]

Hold on a mo' I'll send some information to your device.

[Lena will get this file and this one]

Might be a bit out dated but could help.

[It takes her a minute to figure out how to open the files and view them, and after a quick glance she closes them so she can talk to Rose again.]

This will be a big help, thank you. I think I'll go find somewhere to sit so I can read them.

You're welcome. It can be a bit over whelmin' so if you've got questions, ask and it'll be all right. The City's brilliant most of the time.

[Can't be that brilliant if her boyfriend and uncle aren't there. :|]

Like how? You mean just stuff to do?

[iwasherefirst]

Sometimes you get a chance to live the sorta life you woulda never gotten to live anywhere else.

[She's silent for a moment, eyes darting away.]

That-- that sounds nice, actually.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

There's drawbacks but what place hasn't got some sorta thing 'bout it that makes it hard sometimes?

Video

[claimyourself]

That is so true, believe me, I know.

[She twists a lock of hair around her finger absently.]

But if everyone else here is going through the same thing, it can't be that bad.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

S'xactly. No matter what this place has made you do, most people understand it.

[By now she's moved on to a cafe and has sat down.]

That'll be something new; experiencing something that others understand too. Thanks for all your help.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

You're welcome. I'll talk to you later, yeah?

Re: Video

[claimyourself]

Yeah, I'd like that.
