looking for new games maybe?

So you didn't put me through hell enough the first time around? Can we at least go somewhere that my past isn't going to haunt me at every turn? The last one was something special.

The virus makes people sick?

[She's trying to imagine this, imagine someone destroying everything on purpose.]

I don't get it..why kill everybody?

[usedantibodies]

It makes them sick and turns them into monsters.

[ _{She pauses, takes a moment to look at Ellie, something of a pained expression on her face.} ]

I don't know. The man I told you about, he wanted to wipe out everything. Eliminate all the people who weren't "worthy of his new world". [ _{There's a waver of anger in her voice now, just barely noticeable.} ] Some people have some fucked up agendas.

[notmynature]

Yeah, sounds about the same. One second you're you, walkin' around, the next you decide you wanna chump on some dude's neck.

[Hearing that somebody really would screw everybody over that much really does piss her off, causes a frown on his face.]

Assholes. If you meet him again, feel free to use this..[She rotates her elbow.] ... in both places and let 'em know Ellie sent it.

[But Jill had sounded upset too and, even if they had just met, Ellie likes her.]

But it sounds like you'll be okay. [Now it's her trying to make Jill feel better.] Well, you know, as okay as you can be. [A smile.] Survive, I guess.

[ <sub>Jill really can't help herself. She has to smile at Ellie. She's a good kid.

In fact, she's gonna give you a "good kid" pat on the head, Ellie.</sub> ]

Alright, I'll give him double. Just for you. You'll be okay too.

[notmynature]

Yeah, I think so, too. [Another smile.] But, hey, remember your promise to show me those moves.

[usedantibodies]

Don't you worry. I keep my promises. [ _{She lands a playful little punch on her arm.} ]

[notmynature]

Hey. [The word is said in the middle of laughing.] Didn't know we were starting now.

[She holds out her hand.] Shake on it?

[usedantibodies]

[ _{She lets out a chuckle with her and takes her hand and gives it a firm shake.} ] Shooked. Just promise you'll make good use of it all.

[notmynature]

Only assholes.

[That, uh, is a form of agreement.]

[usedantibodies]

You're speaking my language, girl. [ _{A quick little wink.} ] You be good.

[notmynature]

Catcha later. [The smile becomes kind of sad but she holds her hand up in a wave.] It's been cool.

[usedantibodies]

Take care, Ellie.
