001 VIDEO LIST ONE

[deadliestviper]

[The screen switches on, revealing a face caked in dirt, covered in dust, streaked with sweat, and smeared with blood. A pair of troubled, if clear, blue eyes look out from it, and then there's a shake of the head, followed by a swirl of long, messy blonde hair – underneath all the grime, the new arrival's a female. She gives a bright smile, the sight slightly disarming on such a gritty face.]

Hi. [Her voice cracks when she speaks and she coughs, then clears her throat.]

Sorry to bother you folks, but it appears I've got some new business to attend to and I'm a little out of sorts. [Her smile turns apologetic, a little self-deprecating. It might be cute if she didn't look like an adult female approximation of Peanuts' Pigpen.] If one of you would be so kind as to point me toward the showers, I'd be in your debt.

[One last thing: her voice lowers, the sparkle gone from her eyes.] Budd... If you're here, I'll find you.

There are some showers in the gym, I think, miss. Are you alright?

[notafuckingnut]

Um. There's one on each floor. At the end.

[Hi. There's a staring Richie, although he's less bright-eyed than he would have been a week or so ago, the stare less intense and probing and more distractedly curious.]

...Who's Budd?

[scarlet_discord]

Oh man. Um, hey, I have some soap and a towel and fresh t-shirt if that will help you get started.

[aggravating]

... please tell me all that's from the end of some kinky, naked mud wrestling.

[Hoffman just kind of stares for a moment]

You uh-did you get somebody to get you some bath...stuff?

You want some new clothes too?

[What is it with unusual people showing up lately.]

[demigoddess]

[ Before she can think the words come out. ] GODS! Are you hurt? [ She seems fine enough, but under all of that dirt.. .]

[persuadeyou]

[She knows disarming when she sees it. So Natasha cuts to the chase, while maintaining her cover: she's just a consultant who makes a living asking the necessary questions, nothing suspicious there.]

Who's Budd?
