first scroll [video ; open]

[Upon awaking Mulan took her time warily exploring the ship, after having retrieved her armor and weapons of course. Finding no one to speak to, eventually she turned to the unfamiliar device she located among her belongings.

The video focuses mostly on her face, revealing a young determined looking women wearing red and black armor with a coin pattern. Her dark hair is unbound and hangs carelessly around her face, straight and loose.

It's my understanding that wherever they are on the other end of this...object, someone can hear me. Whoever you are, I want you to show yourselves. [Tersely, teeth briefly bared.] This is not a request.

I do not know if I came to this strange place by chance encounter or deliberate action. But this is not my land, nor is it any land I am familiar with from my distant travels. And I have no memory of my arrival here, either. The only explanation I'm left with is abduction.

Whoever you are, whatever it is you may want me for, speak. The longer you make me wait, the less the likelihood you'll have of anything like my willing cooperation.

[Posturing? She is, a bit. Normally her course of action upon arriving in unfamiliar territory would be to keep her head down. But given the circumstances, she thinks it's important that she put on a strong front, let anyone out there who might be looking know she means business. That she's no easy pickings.

And that the abrupt manner of her being brought here has made her more than a little angry.

Or if my unknown captors are too cowardly to explain themselves, then it is my hope that these words will reach someone who can enlighten me.

Right, right, that's the part I get. Not into it, but the powerful think they're better and ought to be in charge of everybody else, y'know? The guys under the dome, they live in an entirely different world. They don't even seem to want to be in charge of the people out here, just get rid of them. Last guy I met who had that plan... Well, doesn't exist anymore, but he messed with me. Anyway.

[Indrani's floundering a little on her attempt to describe the Authorities as deeply alien. The more she thinks about it, the more they're just the same thing in a different hat. Oh, well.]

Ummm... I haven't asked. I'd guess both. They definitely do some ruling, but whenever things get hot out here, there are attacks. So there's kind of a flux going on.

[Ah. Right. Magic crystal.]

Um, double-barreled shotgun, disassembled for cleaning, parts for an environment suit with breathing equipment, I just kinda liked that one and I think it's part of a toaster oven, some leftovers from a filter I was working on... Stuff. It's pretty standard tech here or at home, but with people coming from different worlds, I think it's all over the place.

My other ones are smaller. Guns are just tools, same as anything else. Different guns for different jobs. Likes swords.

[She doesn't know a lot about swords, but enough that she's sure of that.]

And it's pretty close. I end up doing a lot of fighting, and around here the hunting thing is big, but building and fixing stuff is way more fun.

[Inclined to show off a little, Indrani pulls her revolver from its accustomed place under her good hat on the shelf and begins to break it down too, barely needing to look down.]

I think those are the basics. People off the ship are mostly cool, we come from everywhere, the guys inside the dome suck, there are big scary animals and raiders outside the city... Oh, yeah, this building here is boarding for newbies. You don't have to stay here, since there are empty buildings all over, but I haven't gotten around to moving out and getting someplace furnished yet just to get away from the crowd. Just find a space. Hell, that that one, if you want.

[She points at the unused, only slightly broken bed on the other side of the little room. It's currently host to a couple of stained sacks set to air out, unfortunately.]

...I'll clear that off.
