[sup there folks. first thing you see when the video feed clicks on? would be the retreating back of what appears to be some random citizen of the city, save for the fact that this one is, for whatever reason, clad head to foot in heavy black. and the camera lingers on them for some moments before it finally pulls back and shows Anathema instead,

[suuscurator]

You too? I kind of want to ask them but...

[thebooksaysso]

With the reception we've had from the rest of the city thus far, I'm a bit hesitant to ask myself.

[suuscurator]

I mean.. I heard things a few days ago but it... I don't know, they kind of remind me of a biker gang.

[thebooksaysso]

They're certainly no Hell's Angels.

What was it you've heard, though?

[suuscurator]

Group where you're from?

I heard... not too many things. That they're looking for something, and its weird for people to be coming here, rather than going.

[thebooksaysso]

Unfortunately. A rather trashy lot, them.

Does anybody know what they're looking for, exactly?

[suuscurator]

Sorry to hear that. [See this inner struggle? He can't remember if he knows her. This is bad.]

No idea - I doubt they're like us, yeah? Would've had device and everything...

[thebooksaysso]

Well, I suppose there's really only one way to find out.... [sneaking after and snooping around is always much easier than outright asking questions, right?]

Ah, but I don't think we've spoken much before. I'm Anathema.

[suuscurator]

[A pause.] ... What're you thinking about doing?

O-Oh! Alright, makes me feel a little better about wondering if I knew your name. I'm Cody.

[thebooksaysso]

[why the pause! look at this innocent face. :c] I'm thinking of asking, of course.

[suuscurator]

[Its a girl! They've never been entirely honest with him okay >: ] I... you serious?

What if they're like that gang you know back home?
