(19 || VIDEO) backdated to earlier in the afternoon
[The video comes on and the feed is held up, slowly panning to show a fairly empty living room. Well, empty if you didn’t count the one couch, TV, and the leaning tower of cardboard boxes over in the corner. The NV gets turned around and Rochelle grins back at the camera. She holds it about an arm’s length away from her. Sitting on the floor in a plain top and jeans, her hair bunched back behind a headband, she’s leaned against a sliding glass door.]
Almost home sweet home. Almost. I'm getting there.
[By the way, guess who sounds like she's in a better mood since her last post? She gave the feed a short wave. One brief look at her hands when they come down reveals that her nails are freshly manicured.]
It’s a hell of a lot nicer than my old apartment, and I can already tell the neighbors are less creepy. [She eyed something off camera, sixth sense in action.] A little.
Oh, and Nick? Thanks for letting me stay at your place for a while. Really.
[Her grin turns a little softer before, you know, realizing it was turning a little softer. OKAY, quick subject change time--]
Anyway, uh, man, the Core’s really reopened the floodgates, right? A LOT of people I never thought I’d see again came back. Maybe… [Trailing off.] You know what? Never mind. But I’m in a good damn mood, and I’d say that’s the best early birthday present a girl can get around here.
So, uh… yeah. Just wanted to say I’m alive. I’ve been moving… obviously. Aaaaaaand hey, new people. Name's Rochelle. I work for the news around here--and I USED to back home before the infection hit... and I'm a nominee for "baddest woman alive". And that's about it.
[One more wave goodbye, and she reaches to turn off the feed.]
