[video]

[There's a girl with real cat ears on this screen. Her black shirt should be enough to give some estimate of her time back home for those, who know her back there and she ... really would just love to flip this video away or at least make it voice instead of a video, but she's also had enough of hiding and she doesn't want to worry any friends from home. Especially not her teammates. ...And she takes a while to say anything, she still has absolutely no idea of what to even say here!]

Blake Belladonna, never been here before myself but Ren filled me in on a lot already, so I guess some of you might know me even though I don't remember anything about this place...

[There. Baby steps to using this device and at least something for people to know, that she's here too.]


[action]

[And if anyone comes looking for her or just happens to be around, Blake is still near the bay and reading all the things that there are for new arrivals. While she seems to be focusing on them 100% as if nothing could take her attention away from whatever she's reading, she's carefully listening to anything happening around her.]

That is... A really worrisome way to put it. REALLY worrisome.

[bellagatta]

[SHE WAS TRYING TO BE NICE??? S O S, how's she going to fix that? Someone send heeeeeeeeeelp... Excellent job, Blake.]

Which part? The fact that life continues after we stopped the train or that you're always you??

[are_you_robbing_me]

The 'always stuff happening', plus me being from 'earlier' being not bad, and... Oh, what's the word for it? Portentious? I read that in one of the schoolbooks...

[bellagatta]

Umm, we stopped that train so everything didn't explode so stuff can keep happening but you really don't need to worry about anything here. [NOT YET at least not here. And then whatever's in her future has already happened anyway, nothing anyone can do to change things.]

How long have you been here?

[are_you_robbing_me]

Like, a week or so. I'm staying with Yang and still looking for a job!

[bellagatta]

So we're like new arrivals together. I'd be surprised if you were staying with anyone else... Found any interesting options for a job?

[are_you_robbing_me]

Bounty hunting. I mean there's rules involved, it's not the same thing as being a Huntress, but it still lets me fight stuff, which is the thing I'm good at, so...

[bellagatta]

Rules? What kind of things do they make you hunt? [Hypocrisy rising when she worries a little about Ruby possibly going after them alone with new rules to follow even when Blake herself ran away all alone.]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Oh, it's just a licensing requirement, and not being too violent against many of the targets. They're criminals, after all, not Grimm. Nothing too terrifying!

[bellagatta]

Sounds like you really found one of the best jobs for you.

[are_you_robbing_me]

Admittedly, having to find work this early is kinda scary. And I probably should, uh, try to hold down something besides hunts, huh...

[bellagatta]

Yeah, it's really sudden. Still hunts are a better start than nothing. You'll find something if you really want to, with our help or by yourself.

[are_you_robbing_me]

... Yeah. You're right, Blake. I just gotta face this.

[bellagatta]

No, I meant you don't need to face it alone when we and everyone else is here to help you.

[are_you_robbing_me]

Well, I mean, you're right, but... I should be trying to handle independently too, shouldn't I?

[bellagatta]

... True, you should. It's all about what you want to do for living here, after all even when it's sudden. At least the list of options isn't short? [unless it's too long with too many options...]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Well, yeah, but... Doesn't seem like a lot of them are really a good match for a Huntress-in-training except bounty work...
