001} video: if love is what you need, a soldier i will be
[When the video switches on, Allison's face fills the screen in extreme close-up, an intensely thoughtful look on her features as she struggles to navigate the function of her communicator.]
C'mon...are you even on? [Her voice is low and impatient...then her expression comes alive when she realizes she's on display. Flinching a little, then smiling at her work, she backs up enough to be seen, visible seated at the desk in her cabin.]
Hi. [She smiles and offers up a little wave, then pauses for a moment before laughing as she lets her gaze drop.] Okay, this is way weirder than I thought it was going to be.
[She starts talking with her hands a little, not quite speaking to the communicator anymore.] I guess...I'm just restless. Out of practice, I haven't had to move around for a long time. I haven't been assigned to anyone just yet, but I know I will be. And I just want to introduce myself, you know? Put myself out there for anyone who wants my help. And I honestly do want to help. It's why I came.
[She lifts her head more fully, looking into the communicator with something a little different in her gaze...a little less friendly teenager and a little harder, a little older.]
It's...one reason I came.
[The moment passes, the look fades, and her smile brightens again as she takes a steadying breath.]
But I'm not here to complain about myself, right? So! Um... [A hand goes to her chest as she gestures to herself.] My name is Allison, I'm from Beacon Hills, California...and if any of you need anything at all? Just let me know. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
[She shifts, and part of her body moves out of the picture.]
Now if you'll excuse me...I still have to get settled in.
[She turns around to survey the rest of her room...neat as a pin, in perfect order...not a lot to be settled, really.]
Or...not...

no subject
We're a pack for a reason. It isn't on you to protect all of us all the time. We need to protect each other. [She needs to make sure she's alive when her deal is through.]
