003 | Video + Action
[ The video starts out shaking, the view beginning with a brief shot of Sharon's stained boots (brilliant red spatters) and the dirt floor beneath, but it's soon shifted up. The focus settles on a fire engine red box, nearly a foot in length, that rests against the wall of one of the buildings. The lid has a strange symbol painted on it, a triple moon, and after she's certain people have gotten a good look, she kicks open the box, lid flopping back. The workmanship on the box is shoddy at best, but that's not what you're supposed to be noticing.
No, what you're supposed to be noticing is that the rectangular box is filled with a variety of items. There appears to be cloth, canned goods, a blade, and a canteen stuffed within, among other things. ]
There are a handful of these caches throughout the city. You spot the symbol [ She kicks the box again, and it rattles as the lid falls shut, the symbol back into frame. ] You'll find a box nearby. In it should be enough goodies to help you survive if you're ever caught off guard when the shit hits the fan here. There's also a healing trinket in each one, thanks to Kate and Carlisle, along with instructions on how to use it.
[ She pulls back, lifting the camera up to show another of the triple moon symbols on the wall in red paint. It's not large, but the bright red is enough to catch an eye or two. She doesn't turn the camera to her face as she continues to speak, leaving everyone to enjoy paint drying. ]
You use something from it, you put it back when you can. I won't be doing rounds to check on these things often, so if you fuck someone over by being a dick, that's on you. [ This is obviously the perfect place to end the post. No goodbye. No sign off. Yeah. She's good at this. ]
[ ACTION ]
[ And, for those who wish to encounter Sharon in person, she can be found throughout the city, painting the symbol on various walls, about eye level for those of an average height. She may also be found stocking any one of the red boxes. So, come over, have a chat, or criticize her on her shoddy workmanship. ]

Oh my god, obviously that's true. Bad attempt to make a joke. My bad. What do you want me to say, it's a nice gesture but it means shit? Because I don't think it means shit.
[Gestures like this are powerful. She just hopes she can find out which gesture to make to show her friends she's sorry for fucking up with the demons.]
no subject
Everything we do here means shit. [ This isn't some attempt at being bitchy, at mocking or turning away Emily's expression, but just an honest to god statement that's buried itself deep in her. Fuck, she should never have made the post. People would have caught on without her giving them a heads up. Eventually. ]
Not that I think... [ Another sigh, as heavy as the last. ] Look, sorry, Emily. Thanks for the... the fucking gesture, though.
no subject
Yeah, it means shit as far as the gods go, but not to each other.
[That's an important distinction.]
The 'fucking gesture' -- wow. Not holding back on the gratitude, are you. [It sounds a lot less aggressive than it might look in writing. Emily is tired, and she's glad for the apology. The next thing she says sounds sincere.] You're welcome.
no subject
It wasn't meant to be—[ She shakes her head, heart heavy. It doesn't matter. ]
If you ever have any extra blankets, toss them my way, and I'll make sure they get to the proper box. [ She'd offer more gratitude, but it just... She's just going to try and talk less. ]
no subject
Besides, she isn't looking for a fight, for once. She's tired of fighting. She couldn't fight off a demon, so she doesn't much see the point in fighting a human. (Fighting with Matt was enough.)]
Sometimes people disappear before I finish making whatever it is they asked for. I can bring clothes too. Who knows. They might fit someone else.
[She doesn't sound very hopeful that they will, but it's all she can offer besides blankets.]
no subject
I don't know how useful that would be, Emily, but... maybe we can keep a list of available clothing items at your shop in each of the boxes; that way they know who to turn to for something a little more custom, and a little less Hope Shop Gaudy.
no subject
Sure, whatever.
[She does give half a smirk at the dig at Hope's lack of fashion sense.]
I'll write something up and put it in the boxes later.
no subject
...Thank you, Emily. I really do... [ She clears her throat, clearly unused to things like this, especially when it's someone she doesn't much care for. ] I really do appreciate it. [ She knows she sucks at social interaction, she knows she's all rough around the edges and that she can never pick the right words, but she does try.
And, with that, she'll start on her way to the next hidden cache. She needs to fill up the rest of them. ]
