ᴜsᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: ʜᴜɴᴛsᴍᴀɴ (VIDEO)
( graham doesn't like using the video feature much, so mostly he avoids it. people might recognize his username, though, he hasn't been silent on the network that connects members of ALISTAIR. in fact now that he's a fugitive he has a bit too much time to flip through messages, though that's neither here nor there.
still, the fact he's using it means he does so with a purpose. after Sakura encountered him in the woods, he doesn't see a better way to get his message to everyone that needs to hear it. hopefully the townsfolk themselves will just stay away, and his brother is clever enough to stay clear of people that might hurt him. he's smart and wary of humans, it doesn't seem impossible he'll manage on it's own. it just feels dangerous to leave him out on his own without trying to assure people the wolf is not a threat. )
A friend of mine came from home. I hear that happens on occasion.
( Graham tilts his pendant enough to capture the wolf in the feed, just long enough for the details to be picked up. a vibrant red eye, white and gray fur. a little too friendly with a human, one could argue, as the wolf is looking up at him with an open-mouth grin, much like a dog. )
He's not a threat to humans. He'll more than likely run if you get too close to him, but all the same. If you see him, don't hurt him. He won't hurt you unless you threaten him.
( the wolf still has instincts enough that he will fight if he feels he has to for survival. being so close to a human has tempered many of his wilder instincts, yet the wolf is still and will always be a wolf. )
If you hurt him despite this message I promise you'll regret it.
( there's a steel edge to that threat that is very sincere. Graham was a better man than the Hunstman ever claimed to boast, and the wolf is about all the family he's ever had. if someone is bold enough to try and harm him (or worse), they'll have a dedicated hunter after them, and a ruthless one at that.
with that the video feed closes. if there are questions, they'll likely be answered via text. )

no subject
( a reminder of home. Graham knows that can be both good and bad, having experienced it. )
It's my first, though. Graham Humbert.
( he doesn't register as well with the second one, but that's technically his last name. if curse generated names count for anything. )
no subject
. . . Oh. His question. ]
Home. [ Her tone is a bit dismissive. ] It's probably a good thing he isn't here. He'd probably freak worse than I did.
[ Sure wish Chloe was here, though . . . Damn. ]
no subject
he frowns a little at the idea that appearing here had unsettled her. he can't blame her, even heartless it hadn't been an easy transition. )
If you need any advice for making sense of this place, I've been for a couple of months now. I'll do what I can to help.
no subject
She's more used to it now. ]
That is super awesome of you. I really appreciate it.
[ And it does help to hear such supportive words. ]
Has it really been that long since the mission started?
no subject
Yes, I suppose it has. Some of the others are on their second mission, I hear, but I arrived at the beginning of this one. It's been about two or three months, now.
no subject
[ It's mostly a rhetorical question. She knows it has been, which means they haven't come any closer to solving the sun problem. Which is . . . worrisome to say the least.
Hard to believe, but she's actually getting used to it. Almost. It's incredible what you can put up with when you don't have any other choice. ]
It's like some weird, habitable, less freezing version of Antarctica.
no subject
( he's lived worse things than a world without a sun, though a part of him is at least a little bemused by it. he doesn't understand science perfectly but he knows enough to know a world shouldn't exist without a sun. does that mean it's still there and just blocked or hidden? )
It is strange. Don't forget to keep a light with you or it's easy to get lost.
no subject
Even though it should be obvious, forgetting is just the bonehead thing she'd do. ]
Definitely. I keep one in my purse, but it's not all that bright. I've got this . . . blue lantern thing now.
[ She shifts the camera so that he can see it. Freaking fairies. ]
no subject
( he's not always a big fan of magic, but hey. it certainly has its uses on occasion. and a magical lantern might be more reliable than a convential one. )
no subject
[ . . . With her luck, she'll jinx it and it'll go out right then. She almost expects it, but when it doesn't, she goes on. ]
At least it was worth the trek.
no subject
( no actually he does know how much he trusts magic. aka not at all. )
no subject
[ Considering faeries are assholes and also magic isn't even supposed to exist. Still, she's kind of fascinated by it. ]
Isn't hard to get things like batteries here, though? I haven't really visited the shops much . . . I mean, except for clothes, since mine were wet.
no subject
( he could also tell her how to put together a torch but he suspects someone used to batteries might be a little intimidated by an open flame used as a light. )
1/2
Still, she can appreciate going a little old fashioned. She nods.] Got it.
no subject
I can help you name him, by the way. I mean, your fluffy friend.
[ . . . ]
If you want.
no subject
( he's finding it harder than he imagined to name his brother. likely because he's known him only as he was for so long. )
no subject
What's he like?
[ She'll think of something. ]
no subject
( picking a name for his brother isn't as easy as it sounds, but he does think that he'd like to find him one. Max doesn't need to think of one... it'll happen. sooner or later.
no subject
He's family . . . ?
[ Her voice seems to trail off as she considers, leaving it unclear whether she expects an answer or not. ]
no subject
( that's not too revealing, is it? many people considered their animal companions family. it's a little more intense than that, in his case — raised by wolves, they quite literally were his family. abnormal as that sounded. )
no subject
. . . It's definitely more difficult than she thinks to come up with this stuff on the fly. ]
Wow. [ Lame, Max. It was your idea to help, so . . . suggest something! ] Too bad he can't just tell us what he wants to be called.
no subject
I don't suppose he thinks he needs a name. I just think it'd be good for him to have one. Don't worry, I'll think of something.
no subject
It'll probably be easier for me once I've met him in person. [ A pause. ] . . . Not that I know what the chances of those are.
no subject
( the wolf isn't afraid of meeting a stranger as long as they're together, at least most of the time. )
no subject
Well, if I happen to see you, I'll be sure to say hi. [ Though she might spot the wolf first, depending. ] You take care of him until then . . . Mr. "Huntsman."
[ How ironic, that handle. She definitely likes Graham better. ]
