1st Arrow [Action]
[Oh man. Oh man this was not good. Not good at all. Last night had been one of those rare nights where Ellie actually got a good night of sleep, a mercifully dreamless sleep where she wasn't haunted by the Infected or the hunters or the faces of all the people she had known and lost.
So of fucking course something had to happen the next fucking day. The morning had started so nicely, and then suddenly everything kind of went weird and she woke up in... wherever the fuck this was. Not cool. What's even less cool is that she woke up alone. Outside of That Incident at the resort in winter, she can't remember the last time she woke up alone. Even in the present, Joel always hung around their tiny little cabin at least until she was awake before heading off. So... being alone in a strange place with no memory of how she got here? That sent a clear jolt of panic lancing through her.
Not even stopping to really absorb her surroundings, Ellie takes off running with no real direction.]
Joel? [She's trying not to sound panicked, but she's not doing a very good job of it.] Joel, where are you, you asshole?!

[Just. This face.]
Okay, now I know you're bullshitting me. Look, I can take nasty surprises; I'm a big girl. Just tell me the truth.
no subject
Alright, then... wish for something. Ask Paradisa to give you your favourite doll, or your favourite candy.
no subject
Yeah, fuck that. I'm gunna ask for a pair of steel-toed boots so I can shove them right up your--
[And she suddenly cuts herself off with a yelp because holy shit suddenly a pair of boots are there.]
What the fuck?!
no subject
Language, little lady. Do you dare call me a liar now?
no subject
My language is just fucking fine, thank you very much.
[...]
... And yeah. I do. I guess.
no subject
[And hey, who is he to tell her twice? She can be unladylike if she wants, he supposes. For now, though, he'll settle on picking up those boots.]
Not fond of dolls?
no subject
Not really. We could never find any. Everywhere was pretty much trashed, y'know?
no subject
No, I do not know. Where do you live, girl?
no subject
... Wyoming. [Because like hell she's going to get any more specific and accidentally compromise the safety of what may be the last safe haven in America.] Why are you asking?
no subject
no subject
[She frowns in confusion at that.] Are you serious? Is the infection really not as bad in other parts of the world?
no subject
[Maybe she's from some weird proto-America? Connor's time? He has no fucking clue, Connor is Native and this girl doesn't look it.]
It is not terrible where I am, no. Some die here and there, perhaps, as people tend to from illnesses, but the worst of it was over a hundred years ago.

no subject
[What.]
How the fuck is that possible? [...] Okay yeah magic I get it, but. Time travel seems like a whole different level here.
no subject
I do not know.
no subject
[It's probably meant to be an insult or something, but it doesn't quite come across that way....]
So. Aside from the kidnapping, time travel, and freaky summoning shit... is there anything else I should know about this place?
no subject
The castle has taken something from you, as a price for being here.
no subject
I didn't really have anything on me, so it couldn't have... [Her pistol's still there, switchblade still there, nothing but lint in her pockets...
... Wait. Hold on. Now that he mentions it... Ellie pats herself on the chest a few times, then pulls back her shirt's collar a bit and--]
Oh fuck no! [She sounds angry. Not just the annoyance she was feeling earlier, but full-on anger now.] It had no right to take that so it better give it back before I find enough crap to build a bomb and start blowing the walls down!
no subject
Calm down, calm down. There is nothing that can be done right now.
no subject
[Fuck fuck fuck it's taking all she has stop the angry tears from coming because this stupid fucking castle took Riley's pendant and fuck maybe if she hadn't started wearing it when she didn't need to carry her backpack around with her all the time, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Stupid stupid Ellie.]
All of it has to be hidden somewhere, right? We just need to find the right place!
no subject
Little one, it can take memories and abilities, as well. I do not even know what I am missing right now. Where would a magic castle keep a memory, hmm? Or an ability? No one has recovered them just by looking before.
no subject
[Ellie's shoulders finally slump, and she's glaring at the wall like she wants to kick it. Or blow it up.]
Has anyone even tried to think of a way to get our stuff back?
no subject
no subject
Do we get to choose what we lose that time?
