[The video pops on and the girl looking into the feed seems more than just alarmed, she's a bit distressed. She's newly arrived to this place and normally, she might just roll with it. Normally, she might just exit this building and try to figure out what's going on, but instead -- something is definitely wrong. Shockingly wrong and she can't really ignore this one.]

Right, so this whole thing I just got explained to me -- fine, that's ... that's whatever it is, but I need to see a doctor.

Right now - as in, this is not something to wait around about. I'm not bleeding or anything, but I definitely need a doctor.

You're going to have to come to me, because I have no clue where I am right now.

The normal kind, I suppaws? I don't know, we didn't have any at all back home!

video || it's okay!

[consequence]

You don't have hospitals back home? [She's going to just use that to distract away from what's wrong with her.]

[bestestfurrend]

No, not really! You usually have to look after yourself if you're sick or hurt, or hope you have a friend who'll do it for you.

[consequence]

Do you have a lot of deaths?

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh. People used to get culled all the time. [Which is probably not what Hayley was asking, Nepeta...]

[consequence]

[a beat.

No wait. Another beat and some more silence.]

Culled?

video ||

[bestestfurrend]

If you're sick or weak or hurt then pretty often the Empire's drones get sent out to cull you.

video ||

[consequence]

Drones from the Empire go out and just ... kill off the weak?

video ||

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh. It's pretty awful.

video ||

[consequence]

Are those people here?

video ||

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, no! No, they're not, you don't have to worry about that.

video ||

[consequence]

But back home, that's what you have to deal with?

video ||

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh. It's how things were.

video ||

[consequence]

God, that sucks.

So getting brought here -- this whole thing, you're okay with it?

video ||

[bestestfurrend]

I don't mind it! Some of my friends are here too and we have a nice place to live. I don't like seeing other people unhappy at being brought here when they want to be home, but I'm pretty happy to stay here myself.

Huh. I guess it's going to be different for everyone.
