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!))

[It's a smart move. There are very few people in Hadriel she's spoken about it with, and even then, it was hardly speaking so much as gross crying. She's not anywhere near there with Sweets. She ignores the look, and overcompensates by putting on a jokey tone.]

Suuuuuure, dad.

[He's not surprised that she chooses not to elaborate, but what she does say--even though it's a very standard sassy response--is a shock in an completely unexpected way. His eyes flicker and he looks briefly stricken, but only for a moment before he manages a weak smile instead; it's not that she said anything wrong, it's just... A vision of what could've been, perhaps.

But he doesn't have any desire to think about that right now, and even less desire to worry Ellie or otherwise make her think he's bothered by the comment--he's not, in itself--and so he shakes his head, offering a lightly joking response.]

Hey, you wouldn't want to be grounded off of, you know, all the nothing there is to do here.

[What a tragedy that'd be.]
