Waking up away from home when she knew for damn sure she'd been at home was strange enough. Waking up somewhere she also knew she'd never been before with some strange looking not-watch on her wrist was pushing it. The final straw had been when she'd gone looking for someone, hoping she could figure out where she was and what the hell had happened only to find cameras everywhere. She felt like she'd been tossed into some weird reality show, but a sliver of fear worked its way into her stomach when she thought of why she might have been chosen.

She'd always been careful on her runs, making sure if she went for one shifted in the woods that there were no humans nearby. She was open with other shifters about herself, but she knew better around humans. You never knew who was a hunter or who would be the wrong person to tell. The thought that she'd been found out somehow and had been captured, dumped here for some weird experiment or something was something she'd secretly feared. Being found out and contained, poked and prodded at and experimented on so that they could figure out the whats and whys...

No. That hadn't happened here, had it? She'd been told not to leave, that this was her 'home'. Bullshit. Her home was with her family, and she couldn't pick up any of their scents. She could pick up the scents of others, light little wisps on the wind. Determined to figure out what exactly was going on, she set off to see if she could find the source of one of those scents.

{ooc: Riley will be poking around most of the town, so you're more than welcome to come across her wherever is most comfortable for your character.}

"I can't really see anything about this that isn't strange." Which included her being brought here in the first place. Add in everything else and there was this hodgepodge of things that just didn't make sense.

He rocked back and forth on his feet grinning, "Ah, I suppose so! Lucky us, yeah?"

Nodding towards the city, "There's different places you can stay at. Everyone I've met so far has been nice." Or at least he had yet to meet someone with ill intentions, although it seemed like accusations were quick to come by at times.

She'd been balking on thinking about that. That implied she'd accepted she was stuck here for the foreseeable future. It was starting to look as though that were the case. "What kind of people are here?"

[nevermindtherunning]

"All sorts. Humans, vampires, people who can shapeshift." He shrugs, "The whole lot." As if that was all inclusive.

"Well, if you need someone to show you the ropes around here, I'll help as best as I can!" Despite not knowing much about this place, he was still able to walk around and show her around, if need be. That much he could do!

She gave him a blank look. Vampires? Really? The mention of people who could shapeshift had her wondering if he'd met Brigid or if there were maybe others in town she hadn't met. The casual nature of how he mentioned it was the most surprising part about it, as though this was every day conversation for him.

"Honestly? I'd appreciate anything I can get. I'm not really used to being in a new place without my family."
