[The video clicks on with some fumbles, some readjustment as Hella realizes what she looks like in the playback on the device and just sort of. Stares at her apparent reflection. It's really weird, but she's been laying low and trying to figure out this thing for almost a month now so she thinks she's sort of got it.

She certainly looks out of place, in full dark scalemail armor and with scars on her face and a very serious expression. She doesn't shift from full serious mode when she finally begins to talk, but she sounds more awkward than stern.
]

Hey. I'm Hella. I've been quiet, I guess. But I'm new here, relatively speaking.

[She pulls a lock of red hair behind her ears, her bangs the only hair outside of her usual bun today.]

I noticed you all have a monster problem. Apparently it happens once every month? Anyway, we should be coming upon a month of my being here soon, and I'm... willing to offer my services.

[She holds up a sword, the hilt of it embellished with red jewels, the center one being the largest and bleeding into a white diamond-like color in the center. If anyone has any ability to sense dead things or magic, this thing is giving off a severe ghostlike energy.

Because of all the powerful dead people and gods and stars living in it.
]

I'm really good at killing things. I also live near the colosseum. I can kill anything that comes through that Door.

[Said with full confidence.]

If you're worried about someone arriving and want to check it out but don't do well in dangerous situations, I'll guard you. For trade, maybe. Or favors.

[If anything, Adaire's taught her the value of owed favors. Though Hella still doesn't have the patience to wait on collecting.]

I'll hear any offers now. Thank you.

[She fumbles with the phone a bit more, and finally shuts it off.]

That's a fair answer. If it means anything, I would have said the same thing. And... I would rather face the ending with my friends and my city, then try to turn coward in some land I don't think I'll ever fully comprehend.

As could mine. The dragon problem, as I mentioned, which is why I'm starting to get a little bored. Not having to fight for my life every day is enough to drive a man insane when it's all he's been used to.

I'll try not to snipe all of the kills from you.

[ah tongue in cheek murder hobo humor.]

Yeah. I think it's overrated.

I just know it's an option.

[Too bad Hella you have to share now. But Taako laughs, clearly enjoying this.]

Really? You that against magic, my dude? That's a bad call. Beggars can't be choosers around here. You want help, you're gonna wanna play nice.

[Jo nods, looking a little bit like she understands the concept.]

It's good to know your limits.

He's like an intern. You know what an intern is? I'm the scientist. He's just helping me.

[Here's hoping Michael never sees this conversation.]

I will wish you good hunting then, milady! As much as the water calls to me, I will leave the battling of the creatures of the waves to those better suited than I!

Some of it, but most of the time you'll just regret cutting the corpse open.

[He still hasn't forgotten coming across Aloy doing just that, and standing with her in mutual disgust at what spilled out of the creature's gut. As far as Nil is concerned, it's better safe than sorry, and he has no desire to be up to his elbows in intestinal slime any time... at all.

Nothing's simple. Even the crabs aren't that simple. He's sure he saw lava coming out of one of them.

But it is better in pairs. There's an astonishing lack of appreciation for that here.

Not at all. [Jo smiles, just barely.]

Lots of us help out without being on the Guard.

Still more weapons than most the groups had that I knew.

Really? Geez, are you from, like, ancient times or something? I thought the folks still talkin' 'bout bullets were old. [Wait, that's probably rude.] I mean, I just ain't met someone yet that didn't know 'bout guns.

[It's surprising, with all the people she's met lately.]

How does someone think they got the right to rule death?

Mine too. [She laughs quietly.]

Just watch your back.
