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!))

[(HA HA....YES.) She tucks the knife back away, and just kinda shrugs before she remembers.]

Uh. Yeah.

[Ellie shuffles in place, feeling kinda bad. It's nothing personal... she just has good reason to let her quick instincts take over at times like this. The truth is, she doesn't trust the world enough to truly believe that anyone is going to protect her but herself. She's not saying that, though.]

I know. Thanks dude. Sorry. I didn't- yeah.

I used to tell jokes. Back home. I read comics, too.

[ He'll... stop lying about that. Eventually. Soon. ]

It's okay. I don't expect you to just take my word for it or anything. Things are pretty crazy around here, anyway.

That's cool. What kind of jokes did you tell?

[ The comics are obviously... a dead end for him. ]

[She shakes her head defensively, but doesn't even have it in her to argue that she believes him. Easier to just let it drop.]

Bad puns, mostly. I have some books with me... You wanna hear some?

[And she'll start remembering to be more sensitive. Eventually.]
