issue # 3 | video + action

[survivorsguilt]

[It's pretty early in the day when Ellie sends out a network wide cry for help.]

I'm bored as hell. Need something fun to do around here. First person to give me a great idea wins my undying gratitude and an IOU.

[That's it. She's out. Quite literally; the moment the video ends, Ellie is slinging her backpack over her shoulders and heading off on a walk, just to be doing something.

Boredom isn't the crux of the issue, in actuality. If she wasn't so intent on stubbornly clinging to her pride in front of a bunch of strangers, she'd admit she just wants someone to hang out with.

She misses him a lot, today.]


((ooc: feel free to respond to her video, spot her around the city, or if you're one of her roommates, engage with her there!))

[She hesitates, almost out the door, and seems to consider it for a moment. Then she slides her backpack off, tossing it into the corner.]

'Course I'm okay? [Of course.] Alright. Show me the magic.

[iustitiae]

[okay he'll show he over to a table and pull out a terrible puzzle]

You know you can talk to me, if you want to.

[while they do this puzzle of a panda eating bamboo.]

[survivorsguilt]

[She nods, a little sharp.]

Yeah.

[Ellie frowns at the puzzle, adding pieces to it seemingly at random. Her mind is definitely elsewhere, and eventually she raises an eyebrow at Connor.]

This is a shitty puzzle.

[iustitiae]

It's Hadriel, shitty is practically a requirement.

[survivorsguilt]

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

That can't be your default excuse for everything, you know.

[Ellie kicks his shoe. Feels easier to initiate casual contact with him lately. This is proooobably because she's sobbed on him. What's a hug, at this point?]

[iustitiae]

[it's like sibling love :') ]

Sure it can! If it's true, it's true.

[survivorsguilt]

[Ahhh, truly :') ]

Oh yeah? Then my default response to you is gonna be this.

[She sticks out her tongue again, this time making a real goofy face of it.]

[iustitiae]

[ he just laughs at her ]

Beautiful. I wish I could capture this moment and savor it forever and show it to your first significant other.

[survivorsguilt]

[OH MY GOD... She does something very un-Ellie when he says this, and shuts up. She goes slightly red, and then finds herself again and scoffs at him.]

Yeah, whatever.
