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!))

Why don't I bring a blunted practice weapon for you for the first lesson, and then we can pick a sword for you at the armory after I see how you move?

[Ellie nods, slowly considering this, before seemingly settling on it.]

Yeah... yeah! That sounds good. Um, which days do you have lessons?

[Video]

[elegant_and_proud]

Nearly all of them. If I plan on not offering lessons a particular day, I will tell students a day or two ahead of time. I am holding lessons tomorrow for sure.

[survivorsguilt]

Alright! Then I'll probably see you tomorrow. Or the day after.

...Thanks for this.

[Feels good to learn new ways to defend herself.]

[elegant_and_proud]

You are welcome. Self-defense is important.

[She genuinely does believe that. There's no currency here and no means to escape, so she's more generous here than she otherwise would be, but she'd still encourage a young girl like Ellie to learn as much as she could to defend herself regardless.]
