[Really, at first, Anita looks nothing short of irate, sitting in front of the camera with her arms crossed. She's already heard every possible explanation from the folks at the hospital, and while she's done her best to take it with a grain of salt, she's not pleased. It's difficult to wrap her head around, honestly, and that's saying something, considering what she does for a living and how often she spends her time ass-deep in myths and legends. All sorts of things that people once thought were fictional but were, in truth, real.

This is just a twist she had never expected.]

The funny thing is that this is only bordering on the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.

[She's certainly seen worse. Nobody is trying to chain her to a bed and slice her up, so, you know, that's a definite plus.]

I'm sure plenty of other people have shown up and started talking about how this just can't be true, so I'm going to skip that part for now and worry about finding out more about this place. I'll assume we're not looking at an island full of humans, given the circumstances. There's nothing wrong with that, but humor me. I'm curious. Are the police any good, or is it all Gangs of New York up in here?

Well, hopefully I can help you fill those gaps. Always good to be informed, after all.

From the sounds of it, pretty soon. I'm meeting the chief down there shortly, actually, so he can interview me in person.

[Coffee? Oh, now you're speaking her language.]

A perk if I've ever heard one. Cops without coffee are a pretty sad sight.

[Oh, good, a fellow coffee lover. Can't go wrong there.]

Gotta draw the line somewhere. The hours suck and the pay sucks, so at least there's something to look forward to.

Good luck with your interview.

[Okay, she has to chuckle at that.]

Thanks. I don't forsee any problems, but who knows, the chief could surprise me. I'll see you at the station soon enough, I'm sure.

Feel free to swing by my office and say hi.

I'll be sure to take you up on that.

See you then.

[With a smile and a nod, she ends the feed.]
