looking for new games maybe?

[usedantibodies]

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.

Would you rather be left alone to your thoughts or exploring a new place?

[usedantibodies]

Being left alone with my thoughts? That just sounds like a bad idea. I'm not really sure what I want.

[restlesswings]

Do you feel like you need to find out?

[notmynature]

Pft. Them actually listening to us? Good luck.

...But I dunno, maybe she'll pick a place that's not so bad. I hear there's some pretty cool ones.

[usedantibodies]

I don't know. The idea of sitting around and doing nothing doesn't appeal to me. It might not be such a bad thing.

[usedantibodies]

So long as it isn't the nightmare show that the last one was.

Are you in any right now?

[notmynature]

Yeah, something about ducks but you know...not a single duck. Who the hell makes a duck place and forgets the ducks?

Anyway, the last one was that bad? How messed up was it?

[usedantibodies]

Ducks. [ _{eyebrow quirk.} ] Right. No ducks, but what else?

Let's see, how to put it? The only person I could trust was the man who tormented me for about a decade. Doppelgängers, some crazy virus, even crazier adversaries... Let's just say it wasn't the most fun adventure.

[notmynature]

It's pretty cool 'cause you get to stay in your own world. Joel, my... friend...he's not there so it works out best this way. [She nods, as if convincing herself.] Not really ready to leave him, yet.

Wait... you had to rely on the guy who hurt you? Fuck that.

[usedantibodies]

[ _{She cocks her head to the side and smiles. She likes her.} ] Fuck that is right. I got the added bonus of finding out some other shit he did to me that I had the pleasure of forgetting.

What's Joel like? [ _{She isn't sure why she's asking but what the hell, couldn't hurt to make conversation.} ]

[notmynature]

Man, I don't see how you didn't just kick his ass.

I guess you didn't wanna be alone, huh? I get that. [She doesn't want to be either.

But at her question, Ellie laughs.] Joel's...Joel. We've been through a lot together.

[usedantibodies]

Oh, trust me, there was plenty of ass kicking. The first thing I did when I saw him was kick him in the jaw.

It wasn't so much that I didn't want to be alone as I know I would have died if I didn't trust him. I met some more reliable folk along the way too.

[ _{She smiles. She has to wonder what kind of life she's lived. She's got a feeling they aren't so different.} ] I'm guessing you put a lot of faith in him. [ _{Jill can relate to that in a lot of ways.} ]

[notmynature]

[Ellie smiles. It's good to know she got a chance to get some kicks in.

Wait..in the jaw?] Whoa... was he really short? [What kind of moves does this woman know? The other question seems temporarily forgotten.]

[usedantibodies]

[ _{She doesn't mind the dismissal of her question. She can relate to that a lot too.} ] Eh, he's like six-one. Let's just say I got a good reach. [ _{Here Ellie, have a little wink.} ]

[barelydead]

Good times, right?

[usedantibodies]

Oh, just fabulous. We should really put a scrapbook together.

lisa trevor anyone? lol

[trevor]

stUpid.......HUman.

I WIll KiLllL yoU.

[barelydead]

Nice. We could have glitter around all the horrible torture pictures.

[notmynature]

Wow. 6'1 for real? You gotta show me sometime. I mean, I am pretty handy with a gun but there's no way I could kick like that.

[You know, besides being the height of a 14 year old girl.]

[merged]

I don't think it matters where you go: your past is going to haunt you. [ It's just a fact of life, though some places bring it up more than others. ]

[usedantibodies]

If you want to learn, I'd be glad to help.

[ _{She smiles and holds her hand out to her.} ] I'm Jill, by the way.

[usedantibodies]

Great. I'll get the card stock and funky scissors.

i cAN'T BELIEVE IT

[usedantibodies]

Oh, Jesus fu--

[usedantibodies]

Trust me, I know that. Just being face to face with the man you killed? On two separate occasions? Not exactly my idea of a good time.

[notmynature]

[Grinning, she takes the hand, shaking it.] Ellie.

...You for real on the teaching me thing?
