[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.]

Et tu, Noct?

anyway I buzz my sides, it's a totally different look

[kittycaterer]

Still looks like a mullet.

Almost like it's trying to be a mohawk. I could give it a gold star for effort.

[manspreading]

mohawks are lame, you can keep your star.

don't need hair advice from prince boy-band.

[survivorsguilt]

wow, if you all you guys are staying in the same place, i bet it's noisy.

[manspreading]

you don't know the half of it, kid

hard enough trying to drag this loser's ass out of bed in the morning. you should see how long it takes to get him to eat his damn vegetables

[kittycaterer]

You do know that defamation of character is a crime, right?

[manspreading]

it's not defamation if it's true

[kittycaterer]

Still smearing my cred here.

[manspreading]

eat your food like an adult and maybe i'll start treating you like one

[ maybe ]

[kittycaterer]

How am I not eating like an adult when I am an adult?

I'm just an adult with very specific preferences.

i know iggy isn't here, noct, but you gotta know that vegetables are part of a balanced diet.

a man can't live on cup noodles alone.

[Normally being called kid would bug her, but she's far too amused right now to mind much for once.]

i mean, geez, he should be thankful someone is taking care of him!

[manspreading]

right??? someone's gotta be an adult in this house

[ it sure ain't Noct's real dad, he's as bad as Ignis when it comes to babying Noct........ ]

[survivorsguilt]

[manspreading]

it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it
