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!))

[Ellie initially thinks it's kind of dorky (if not fun), but it's when she hears Rey giggle that she gapes. Oh my god. Rey. Is laughing. She leans forward over the bar, grinning.]

I've never heard you laugh before!

[circumitus]

[Hey, Rey has laughed before! Just not around people... all that much. Come to think of it, there is a certain disposition that she still projects when around certain individuals. It comes as a bad habit, really.

[Suddenly she stops pouring, blinking.]

Oh. Um. Sorry?

[survivorsguilt]

[Ellie snorts, kicking back against the bar stool (and definitely not almost overbalancing and falling off).]

Why are you saying sorry? It's just nice to hear, dude!

[circumitus]

[And Rey is definitely not ready to jump in and catch Ellie's chair should she overbalance that thing and end up falling off. Not at all.]

Ah, okay. Will... work on that, some more. Here.

[She slides one glass over to Ellie while keeping the other for herself.]
