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?!

[Ellie laughs again.] It's always the craziest places that you meet the most interesting people, am I right?

[indirectcause]

Isn't that the goddamn truth, and it doesn't get much crazier than this place.

[threeweeksago]

And yet, in some ways, this place doesn't seem as crazy as the shit we've had to go through with the dead rising and fucking creepy fungus monsters. Wonder what that says about our worlds?

[indirectcause]

I know right? How fucked up is it that we can find a magical kidnapping castle actually plausible?
