first shot → video → day 103
[ It's fairly early when Allison poses her question to the network. Not obnoxiously so, just a little earlier than most would expect a teenager to be up of her own accord. She's already been for a run and there's a little evidence to show as much. She's just a little puffed, breathing returning to it's normal rate, and the clothes she's scavenged from the house aren't an ideal fit, but they're still closer to gym gear than the dress she'd arrived in (thanks scientists). Her hair is piled up in a loose bun on the top of her head, cheeks still just a little flushed, and she's only just at the door. She really should go inside and get herself sorted first, but network etiquette 101 is escaping her right now - and besides, the question is important.
There's a friendly smile at least, and for a moment she just eyes the feed a little, unsure of how to start. Finally it comes with a light clear of her throat and a sheepish look at the device on her wrist. ]
So I really hope this thing is working, or I'm going to look like an idiot. [ She laughs, a little awkward, and moves to sit down on the porch. The video jerks in response to the movement, but settles again once she does. ] I just have a quick question, nothing too taxing I promise.
[ She glances away for a second, a little stuck for how to pose the question without sounding like she's up to something, but finally just decides to bite the bullet. Everyone needs to defend themselves, right? That sea monster sure proved that. ]
I'm looking for a bow. Mine got...left behind, I guess, and I'd just- I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had one. If anyone knows where there might be something like that around town or...God, even if you know how to make one, I'd really appreciate the pointers.
[ She pauses again, all awkward awkward Allison, and she's about to add something else.
Unfortunately at that point, the feed cuts out. Or perhaps fortunately, for the people listening. At that rate, they were going to be there all day. ]

no subject
[ Really, was there a need to point that out? She's still stuck on the appearing thing, honestly, but the circling is a little uncomfortable too for someone she's just met, so she just frowns until he's done. She's about to make a comment on it and everything, and then he comes out with that and she shuts up pretty fast.
That...was a lot faster than she was expecting, honestly. She doesn't even have time to come up with a good lie, so she ends up opening and closing her mouth a few times before pursing her lips. ]
What makes you say that?
[ Just..play it cool, Allison. Maybe he means deer. ]
no subject
[ He's not event particularly familiar with any humans who aren't, save for maybe Kevin and a few people he's met here.
It's all little things that led him there, but they all add up and he's reasonably sure of his conclusion. ]
You were surprised that I appeared, but you don't seem particularly surprised that I'm not human.
