Bullshit is showing up here with everything on me but my comic books. All those Savage Starlight issues, gone. Just like that. Fuck you too, Initiative.

[A pause. Ellie's never really addressed a group of people. Technology is crazy. Okay, there was a point to this whole thing.]

... anyway, guess I just wanted to say thanks to the people that helped me out when I got here. I found who I was looking for, so. Didn't wanna leave anyone with a cliffhanger.

Sounds like it.

( Don't be a snob, El.
She's totally a snob. Comic books are dumb. )


Yeah. Being inquisitive, nosey and that. Stickybeak. We can get you sorted with an Australian to English Dictionary about the same time.
reconnaissance: (♔ when you said sorry)

You get brownie points for not thinking it was New Zealand.

( No, but actually she loves the Kiwis. Making fun of them is just like a part of life before the war.
Although, she's been here long enough to ask, )


Are you from Earth?
reconnaissance: (☠ human behave yourself)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously?

( Is that the dulcet tones of judgment she can hear?

Yes.


Although, Ellie groans after a second, because this place is really fucked. She wants to make some dickhead comment, but -- and maybe the Other Ellie can tell she's got a hand against her face. )
Is your world buggered over or are your school systems just shit?
reconnaissance: (☯ the tethered mind)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

( Well. ) Sorry.

( A drawn out pause. ) Mine too, I guess.

( Solidarity, or something. ) Hey, I'm Ellie. ( Just, you know. Since they've mentioned their worlds sucking, maybe names are in order. )
reconnaissance: (♔ about love and hard work)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
( Hah. Okay, she laughs too. More of a bark than a laugh-laugh, but you know. ) Nah, it's heaps good. Means we're better than the rest of this lot.

( And, for a second, there's an audible smile in her voice. ) Yeah, I know Jesse. First person I met here, actually. You can just keep going back and getting more bikkies, you know? I reckon I lived off those for a solid week.

Without a doubt.

( A scoff that's actually a laugh. ) More like "cookies" are bikkies. ( She's pretty facetious, actually. )

Yeah, right? Really good, but. The sugar and endorphins took some of the edge off turning up in this place. ( it's obvious from her tone that she isn't being flippant, that it was still a big deal, but-- it did help. Jesse helps. )
reconnaissance: (♔ still out of sight)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Come off it. Biscuit, bikkie? It makes sense.

( Australia.

And an exasperated sigh. )
You walk around with a rifle for a bit and suddenly everyone's up in arms about it. It's not like we're in a bloody warzone and everyone has weapons.

( she may have menaced a few people


like her former roommate, for example )
reconnaissance: (♔ yes i know that)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Oh, not you, too.

( She's heard about this "biscuit" abomination from Stephanie. ) No, not like-- I dunno, that sounds like a savoury scone, or something. Biscuits is the proper name for cookies.

( Somehow, she finds it comforting to have stupid arguments in the midst of all this.

Ah, stabbing. A skill more acquired here than at home, but home required fire and bullets more than being that close. )


How you feeling about stabbing people right now? ( Still friendly, just... curious. Cautious. )
reconnaissance: (♔ and you don't belong to me)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-29 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Only in your country.

( A beat, and yep, she's grinning. ) What, you think I can't? I've been at this longer than you.

( It's somewhere between how an older kid would talk to someone being a brat on the school bus, and something more conspiratorial. )

Just wait. You don't wanna show all your cards too soon.
reconnaissance: (♔ if i knew how)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-08-30 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
My being stubborn is pretty genuine, too.

( SHE COULD TELL YOU A TALE...

but she won't. Maybe later. )


Good. ( Although-- ) How old are you, anyway?
