entranceway | sixth galaxy [video]

[The video comes on to show Shepard's face, looking like she is a hairline trigger from 'irritated' to 'might rend something with her bare hands', but really, can best be described as 'done with her entire life, and looking into the camera like she's on the Office as demons scream behind her. In literal Hell'.]

Alright. This probably should've been expected out of this place eventually. But y'know what? Nope. Not doing this like we've done the last couple events. 'Mm just not.

[She pans the camera around to display her surroundings, about in the middle of the 'camp' they all seem to have been dumped in.]

No more divide and falter. If you can fight, and you don't want to sit here and deal with this crap anymore, meet me here in the next half an hour. I'm setting up patrols and watches until Wonderland remembers it's ass from it's head. No shame if you can't, complete shame if you won't.

[Usually she'd smile or do a mock salute, but she's just... she's just done. She's so fucking done.]

See you soon. Don't die.

[He'd text, but the heat makes the keys slippery, and it's easier to shoot back a video anyway.]

Not sure how good I am in a fight, but if you need an extra set of eyes...? [It'd probably be safer for everyone if he strikes out on his own, but - well, he's always been a selfish ass.]

I could always use an extra set of eyes.

[See, people willing to help. That's everything she needs right now.]

Best thing I need right now is patrols around camp. Even if you can't scrap, we need people on watch for demons comin' in close.

I can do that.

[He's still got his meds on him. He's got everything he needs to make it through the the next few days in a resource-poor environment. He's done it before and he can do it again now.]

What do we look like in terms of group sizes?

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[She's rough and on edge, but she hopes it sounds sincere.]

Got at least 10 people offering, so I'm hoping to have people keeping watch at each exit for a few hours at a time, just to make sure nothing slips in here and starts eating people. Got someone offering crossbows, too, which is better than nothing and should deter anything that just wanted an easy snack.

Is there any kind of training necessary to use one?

[Because he isn't really the...best with any sort of combat. Like he said, he's really only any good as an extra pair of eyes.]

They're pretty point and shoot. But honestly, if you don't wanna be armed, you don't have to be. Gonna need people relaying messages and stuff too. If you're not comfortable, you don't have to shoot anybody. I'll make sure somebody has your back.

[Her utmost mission is not to get anybody killed this event, her own health be damned, so she'll take all the shifts she needs to get people on board and keep them safe.]

Good.

[He doesn't wanna be armed. He doesn't trust himself with a weapon, even in a defensive capacity.]

I'll stick to courier work then. Better than training someone wholesale, right?

Sounds fine by me. The Wonderland communicators have been working so far, but I'm not gonna give this place an inch.

[She's made that pretty clear, to be fair.]

Thanks for offering to help. Really.

Thanks for organizing it.

[She seems solid. Not that he really needs to trust her with much, but he knows what it's like to be told you're acting paranoid when you've got every reason to be wary.]

No problem. I'll catch up with you asap about scheduling. And I'll have my communicator on all the time. Call me if you end up in trouble.

[She's gonna be as solid as she can. She can... she can collapse later. Yep.]

Right. And...same to you.

[Not that Tim can promise he'll be much of a help in a fight. Maybe he can serve as an adequate distraction in the meantime? Yeah. Sure. Let's go with that.]
