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!))

Batman? What does he do, fly?

No! That's what so cool about him, he doesn't need to do any of that super power flying stuff like Superman, he can be a hero all by himself with his inventions and ninja skills and smarts. He has the Batmobile and Robin, and [ His excited chatter is suddenly halted as he disappears off screen to grab something nearby. He's back a few seconds later, and shoving the cover a Batman comic right into the screen. ] Look! Doesn't he look cool? This is Batman, and this guy is Robin - there are a lot of Robins, but this one is the first one, Dick Greyson. And Batman's real name is Bruce Wayne, but that's a secret.

[ He could go on, but he should maybe make sure Ellie is keeping up. ] Well - Anyhow, I have nine comics, and four of them are Batman. You could borrow a couple.

[Woah. Haha. Alright. She sure did stumble onto a goldmine here, huh? Ellie tries her best to hide her grin, but it's hard.]

Alright, alright, you've sucked me in. Sounds good. Sounds really good, actually. How about I come round and we do that swap?

[quacked]

Yes, awesome! Come over, I still live at that tall tower.

Have you got the one after the one I already read? I wanna know what happens next.

[survivorsguilt]

On my way, dude.

Uhhh... I think so! I'm missing bits and pieces, which kinda sucks, but sometimes they have summaries of what's happened so far, so you can kind of catch up.

[quacked]

Awesome! You can come straight in. I'm in the same place.

[ Once Ellie reaches his room, she'll find Duck lying on his stomach on the sofa, a comic book propped up on the arm for him to read while the others lay in a haphazard pile nearby on the floor. ]
