fifth scroll [video ; open - Thursday morning]

[girlworthfighting]

[Mulan's voice is muffled and part of her face is hidden behind the regulation gas mask she was issued at work, but for those that would recognize them her eyes and hair are still clearly visible. Likewise, the familiar armor that covers her upper body.]

For those of you that are more recent arrivals - I'm aware there are a few of you - it is to be advised you avoid coming into contact with the strange mists that have been filling the area the past couple of days. Breathing in this air can cause you to experience unpredictable and dangerous effects. [Her muffled voice turns even more grim and her eyes flash darkly as she recalls her own personal encounter with the fog's abilities, and she hurries on past giving herself time to reflect.] Though not everyone reacts the same, it can dangerous to your health for a multitude of reasons. The best course of action would be to remain indoors if you can, and avoid them completely.

If there are any small errands or tasks that would otherwise bring you out, I would be willing to undertake them for you. Obviously I can't get to everyone, but I'd like to help if I can, as much as possible.

The good news is that if I'm reading the signs right, there seems to be a storm brewing for later today. Hopefully it will be enough to blow all of this accursed fog away, so we can all breathe safely once more.

[Oh great, a kid. That's always something she likes to see in the vicinity of danger.]

I can't speak for whoever else you may have been talking to. But I'm telling you that yes, it is poison.

Geeze. Everyone keeps telling me to stay inside but no one bothered saying why.

Video

[girlworthfighting]

That was strangely and disconcertingly unhelpful of them.

Re: Video

[bruiserprincess]

[She shrugs]

Grown ups do that.

[girlworthfighting]

Perhaps where you're from. Not so much in my experience, though. [Then again, 'grown-up' is pretty subjective. A lot of children were considered adults where Mulan comes from, when war or danger threatened.]

Re: Video

[bruiserprincess]

Really?

[Most of the adults she knew turned out to be evil or useless. Leaves her a bit biased]

Your world must be really different.

[girlworthfighting]

Children did not tend to stay children long, in my world.

[As grim as that sounds. It's honest.]

Re: Video

[bruiserprincess]

Oh. That would make things different.

[That seems to have taken the edge of her preteen annoyance off]

Video

[girlworthfighting]

Yes. It did.

Annoying thought it might have been at times, you should be grateful you had enough of a childhood for adults to try and belittle you by getting in your way.

[Molly doesn't want to go into it. She really doesn't. But she can't quite resist responding. But she mutters]

You don't know me.

Video

[girlworthfighting]

No. That doesn't make me any less certain of what I said, though. Unless you'd care to counter it?

Re: Video

[bruiserprincess]

I don't want to talk about it, okay?

Video

[girlworthfighting]

Of course. [She figured as much.] But take care of yourself, niū. Stay safe.

Re: Video

[bruiserprincess]

Don't worry, I've gotten really good at that.

[girlworthfighting]

Somehow, I'm not surprised.
