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.

[vaccination]

Oh, yeah? Guess that's why everyone is saying to check the library and the shops.

[duplicitoussight]

Ah, don't take it so seriously. It's good to joke about these sorts of things.

[vaccination]

Not so much when someone is asking a legit question.

[duplicitoussight]

Really, really? It sure didn't sound like a question to me.

[vaccination]

Ugh--you know what I mean. Don't be a smartass.

[duplicitoussight]

Me, a smartass? No way! All I'm doing is helping out a newbie~

That said, eh, what everyone said about the library is true, y'know.

[vaccination]

Sure.

I'm guessing the Initiative stocks it?

[duplicitoussight]

Yup, yup. They're packrats, that's for sure. You're bound to find something similar, at least.

[vaccination]

Do they grab that stuff specifically for us?

[duplicitoussight]

Who knows, who knows. Maybe they're grabbing other things for us too, behind our backs, like video games and fancy cars.

[vaccination]

Yeah, because there's totally an abundance of those things here.

[duplicitoussight]

Pffft, you're a very serious kid! Ah, in fact, in fact, you're almost like someone I know.

[vaccination]

Or maybe you joke around a lot.

[duplicitoussight]

And maybe you're very uptight. It goes both ways.

[vaccination]

I'm not uptight. [Sound more uptight saying that, Ellie.]

[duplicitoussight]

[There's snickering from his end.] I see, I see! I understand~ Don't worry, I won't insult you anymore~

[vaccination]

Who says I'm insulted? I'm just setting your facts straight.

[duplicitoussight]

It's better to be safe than sorry. You should get it. Girls are nastier than boys sometimes when they get angry~

[vaccination]

You an expert on that?

[duplicitoussight]

I'm not that sort of person, no way, no way!

[vaccination]

You sure about that?

[duplicitoussight]

I get along well with a lot of girls.

[vaccination]

Girls here?

[duplicitoussight]

Ehh, am I still being doubted?! I'm hurt.

[vaccination]

Just checking.
