[It's taken a few days for Ellie to find her way. She has an apartment, but she's not getting comfortable or even really considering it 'hers'. It's temporary. A good hideout until she moves again. She knows where to find food, but she's not going to get lazy. It feels like a good idea to stay in the practice of fending for herself as often as she can.

Figuring out the network and how to do anything with her phone had taken some practice. But now that she's got the basics down, there's something important Ellie needs to ask.]

im looking for joel. hes a big grumpy guy with good aim and a talent for pissing people off. if you see him, tell him ellie is looking for him. joel if you can see this but you cant answer me, im hanging around those weird tall pointy apartments. let me know youre okay.

[It's way easier to say that kind of thing over text, where no one can hear her voice fill with worry. She doesn't really want to consider the possibility that he's not here. That she's alone again.]

[ Tina had to pause a moment before she started to type up her response for the last part. How do you explain B&B to a noob? ]

[Okay, forget b&b. Ellie's attention is grabbed elsewhere pretty fast.]

[There has gotta be a catch to this, right? Surely. Holy shit. Free weapons?]

[She'll definitely be making sure she's well armed and prepared for any funny stuff. If more than one person shows up... she's not opening the door. Better have an exit strategy ready.]
