Cassandra Cain | 001 | Video
[The first thing visible when the feed clicks on is... an eyebrow. Well, two actually. Two eyebrows that are drawn together with a look of confusion. Clearly, someone isn't the best at tech-like things.]
Is- working? [Here have some button pressing and nope, that just turned off the video. The audio is still working though, picking up the sounds of Cass pushing more buttons and muttering quietly before it snaps back on. This time, she grins and her face is framed better, the comm held out to show she's still in her Batgirl costume, she's just taken off the cowl and her gloves.]
Oracle? Are... you here? In weird place. Lots of cameras, so... you must be here.
[With a frown, she rubs at the back of her neck. Maybe she should talk to the general population, figure things out...]
Um, I'm Batgirl. [Wait, pause a second. Maybe the actual name would be a good thing to go by? It's not like she's ever been careful with her identity in the past so why start now?] Cassandra. New here. Found big house, no one's here. Gonna... stay.
Well, in house. Will take walks. Could use... tour? Information.
... That's all.
[Yep. She sucks at communicating in like every sense, sorry. The feed cuts off completely this time, but Cass can be found on the porch of house 17 if anyone feels like coming to see the new kid in person.]

[It's a name she'll file away, she always likes working with other people best. You're not a god Bat without a sidekick after all.
And Barbara hadn't answered when she'd called for Oracle, so Cass can only assume she's on her own here.]
No. Not unless... there's other people, from Gotham. Or Bludhaven?
[She sounds hopeful, but she's not holding her breath.]

I know it can be disconcerting to be kidnapped. If there's anything I can do, let me know? I'm in House 3, the last house on the way to the dock, on the left.
Some rules of thumb - don't go too far into the woods; our captors have ways of getting us to go back to the village. Same with the water. There's no guarantee you'll survive, and believe when I say it. If you have any doubts about it, I can give you some names of people who didn't listen and nearly died.
[She'd rather not give the names away without being asked, though. She doesn't want Kobra's idiot group to get another member if she can help it.]

[The rules shouldn't be too hard to follow and once she hears the reasons, they only make sense. Most of the time she's good at following rules until it's clear the rewards for breaking them outweigh what's left if you do what you're told, but there's no sign now that she shouldn't listen.
And she might humor Kobra and his group, but she won't be doing anything she thinks is wrong. She won't put the rest of the town in danger, either.]
Can count on me.

Thank you, Cassandra. If you need me, you know where to find me.
[And as that's all she has to say, she cuts the feed. There. That had gone... pleasantly. Right?]
