2nd Arrow [Dictated]

[threeweeksago]

[So this is the first time Ellie's doing up a post of her own to the weird journal things. Even after being in Paradisa for a few weeks now, it's still a real fucking weird method of communication, but she can't keep complaining about it when this is the best way to get in contact with everyone.]

Okay, so, quick question. Does anyone around here know how to make a bow? And arrows too, I guess. I'd like to have more than just a gun and a knife if things go to hell here, but I do not trust this weird magic shit with a weapon, no matter how simple it is.

I'm not asking anyone to make it for me. Just... show me how. It'd be a gigantic fucking help.

I know, right? Packs a pretty good punch, and it's nice and quiet. Sure did help me out of at least one pretty tight spot.

[Urgh, having to sneak through a pack of clickers all on her own is something she never wants to experience again...]

Let me know if you feel like giving an old man some lessons after you find a way to get 'em, yeah? Turns out I can barely hold a gun without shooting my own foot since getting here.

[threeweeksago]

... What, really? I thought you were like... the leader of your group. How can you be that bad?

[ He laughs before he can help himself. He's not offended, just - god, this place is weird. ] You know how the castle takes something from everyone when they get here?

[threeweeksago]

... You're shitting me. I can get it taking things, and whatever, I'll pretend that I can get it taking memories... but being able to do shit like that? Seriously?

dictated;

[rightchoices]

-- yeah. Can't say I'm exactly thrilled about it, either.

[ It means he's substantially weaker - means that he can't defend Clementine like he did before. But - ]

But you get used to it. Find ways to adapt, just like always.

dictated;

[threeweeksago]

Yeah... adapt. Endure and survive. That's all that people like us can really do, right?

[That silly little catchphrase in a comic from before everything went to hell really does fit nicely into their situations, doesn't it.]

Uh, I'm not really a teacher or anything, but if you really want, I guess I can show you what I learn?

dictated;

[rightchoices]

Maybe we can make a trade. You interested at all in history?

[ There's a little laugh in his voice. It's okay, Ellie - he's expecting a resounding no. ]

dictated;

[threeweeksago]

... That depends. Can you tell me about anything cool from before everything went to hell?

dictated;

[rightchoices]

That probably depends on your definition of "cool." What kind of things do you like?

dictated;

[threeweeksago]

Just... anything, y'know? The world had already gone to shit by the time I was born, so I don't know much about life before then.

dictated;

[rightchoices]

Yeah.. I think I can help you out with that.

dictated;

[threeweeksago]

[AW YEAH]

Then I can definitely try to help you out in return.

dictated;

[rightchoices]

Sounds like we have ourselves a deal.
