[Low image quality and poor light combine to leave Natasha almost unrecognizable. It's mostly the red in her hair and the sound of her voice when she speaks that identify her, for those who know her.]

In light of our current situation, I'm hoping to get a rough idea what we have to work with.

Specifically, two priorities.

First, anyone who wants to let us know how much food they have on hand and whether or not they'd be willing to share. We might have to tighten our belts a little here, but we can at least try to make what we have last as long as possible and get to as many people as possible.

[A pause, filled with fuzzy static. Then:]

Second, who has access to guns and how much ammo they have on hand.

I've got about a clip and a half left.

I ain't got any food or ammo, my fuckin' house is on the wrong side of the fuckin' city.

[THANKS, FEAR.]

But I don't need a gun to hunt, either.

Interested in joining a hunting party, or are you more of the lone wolf type?

I don't play real fuckin' well with others.

And no fuckin' offense, but if the rest of you are gonna be shootin', I don't really want to be down range if you get me.

[Getting shot is not on his to-do list for today.]

That's certainly your prerogative. I don't think you'd be high on people's list of targets, though.

You'd be pretty fuckin' surprised.

[He's... kind of a big ugly monster that only sometimes looks like a gangly 80s motherfucker. It'd be real easy for someone to mistake him for something they're supposed to kill.]

Even if they ain't aimin' at me, people fuckin' miss.

[He doesn't want to be punching something to death and end up with an acute case of high-speed lead poisoning.]

Maybe I would be. [Her tone is dry, not the voice of a woman who surprises easily. But she won't rule out the possibility.]

Either way, we'll try not to shoot and eat you. Promise.
