[Video footage begins with a rich-looking woman, wearing an expensive designer jacket, gold earrings, silk stockings, and fancy heels. Her hair is tied back in a professional updo, and her cashmere coat is lined with real animal fur

O-oi. Are you alright, miss? [ohaiping.]

Where are you?

1/2 [Video]

[and_my_pickaxe]

Ah...

[Her brain works slowly, trying to comprehend the fact that she's speaking with someone, a real human being. She thought she'd never talk to anyone ever again.]

Where...?

2/2

[and_my_pickaxe]

[She clears her throat.]

...don't know. I don't know... I don't know... I don't...

[Her voice trails off, and she shakes her head.]

I'm sorry. Sorry.

[looseleafbook]

Just describe your surroundings, yeah? I've got a pretty good idea of the layout of this place.

[mysteriouswhite]

306.

[and_my_pickaxe]

...?

[Lin twitches, and immediately snaps from her self-pity, alert.]

A kid?

[This girl will not see this grown woman cry like some weak little housewife! She stands up straight.]

...Do you... live here?

[mysteriouswhite]

[No she wants to see you cry she enjoys things like that 8(]

Uh huh.

[and_my_pickaxe]

...

[Lin stares at the girl for a moment, wary of her own behavior. You can do this, Mayuzumi. You can have a conversation with a little girl and not think about the last small child you brutally murdered.]

...This place is a dump. Young girls like you should find a better place to live.

[That was relatively normal, wasn't it?]

H-Hey, girl. I need to know where there's some water...

[clockwrkangel]

Shiiiiiit. Are you ALIVE?

[and_my_pickaxe]

[Thinking slowly, she stares at Rebecca as if she didn't understand her question]

...

Food. ...Water. Please.

[clockwrkangel]

Yeah uhm...can you find a great big apartment building? I'll meet you outside it and feed you.

[and_my_pickaxe]

...Apartment?

[So she is in a city? This isn't some ruin? Fuck... none of this makes sense.

But she'll avoid thinking about it at all for fear she'll lose her mind. She just nods and begins looking around.]

...Yes. [She clears her throat, her voice gaining confidence.] Yes, I see it.

[She trudges off very, very slowly towards it, dragging her silver axe behind her. With how much it is slowing her down, you'd think she'd drop it, but she has no desire to do so.]

[shotgun_sister]

H-hey! Are you alright?

[So that might have been a stupid question. Judging from the look of her injuries, this woman needs immediate medical attention and then some. Lucky for her, Yuri is halfway trained in being a nurse, and therefore might be able to offer some help.]

Where are you?

[and_my_pickaxe]

["Are you alright?" Those words soothe Mayuzumi somehow. It's about time someone asked how she was doing...]

I...

[Finally, the face of another woman. Not a bratty kid, not a cruel girl, not a chauvinistic man, but another woman who might understand her and doesn't want her dead... it's such a relief. Her voice cracks and a few tears fall down her face.]

I'm b-by a train station...

[shotgun_sister]

I'll be there as soon as I can!

[She's got a vague idea of where the train station is, so she starts gathering up things like her rifle and what meager first aid supplies she has.]

Everything is going to be alright. [At least, relatively so. At the moment Yuri is just going to try keep her calm and conscious.] What's your name?

[and_my_pickaxe]

[Her heart swells with gratitude. Someone's coming for her...]

...Mayuzumi. Lin Mayuzumi. I...

[She shivers.]

I-I'm a survivor of the HAL18 crash...

[theloneheir]

There's shelter all around.

For your frostbite- ask for Haruno Sakura. She should be able to treat it.

[and_my_pickaxe]

[She's angry, at first, at his blunt attitude.]

Shelter?! You call this dump shelter?! This place is falling apart..! You're all sick...!

[But her bottom lip trembles from anxiety and she bows her head to hide her tears, her temper settling.]

...Haruno... Sakura. Where..?

[theloneheir]

You either continue to bitch and end up with nothing or work with what you got.

[/asshole]

As I said, ask for her on the network. With what you're using, genius.
