vaccination | contact ☣ ❝scorpions are pretty creepy.❞

[She purposefully waited to give Ellie a couple days to adjust before trying to get in touch with her. Thankfully, her name was easy to remember to this point. She shares the name of an old roommate.

Hopefully it's okay to reach her now. She'll just have to see.]

Heeey, Ellie. You don't know me... my name is Asami, I'm another Transport around here. I was hoping you could get back to me; I just have something to ask you.

Anyway, enjoy your day, and I hope to hear from you soon.

[After seeing, well, that hot mess Steph can't help but contact Ellie. She sends a text, rather than trying to get through to her, so that Ellie can get back to her in her own time.]

hey, kiddo.

i don't know what's going on, but i'm here if you need anything, okay? even it's just company, i promise i can keep my mouth shut if you don't want someone babbling at you.

call me or text me or even just come over if you want.

everything's gonna be okay.

[She's pretty sure something is up, she just has to figure out what.]

Hey it's Kate. Wanted to check in

[ Because according to Ellie's reaction, something is amiss with Joel. ]

[This is a little before things go to hell and the confrontation with the pro-Initiative forces occurs. Ellie gets a text, and Joel gets a text around the same time, with the same message.

Tess won't reply or say anything past it, but.]

Sorry.

december 4th @ 8 PM in the VR. it's a party.

[They're finally leaving, the news feels like a weight lifted off Steph's chest, because even if she's not there yet, the knowledge of freedom is such a relief.

She hasn't done well in such an enclosed space. No one has, really, but the last few weeks have felt particularly bad, and she's not sure how much longer she'd have been able to stand it. So this is - good, but she knows almost instantly that there's one thing that will have to change, and that's living arrangements.

It's not that she doesn't like living with Ellie or Joel, but she needs to be wth Saul, and she needs to look after Dick, and after two months spent cooped up with Ellie and Joel, mostly she just needs her space. She really, really hopes that Ellie won't take it badly, but she isn't holding her breath on that, all things considered.

So it's with anxiety in the pit of her stomach that she walks into their shared room. It's not like she even keeps much in here anymore, since Ellie asked her to give them space, but there's a few things she should collect before leaving, and it's the best place to have this conversation.

She smiles when she sees Ellie inside, and pushes down the nerves.]

Hey, kiddo, you heard the good news?

I have a present for you, Ellie.

Hey, so... It's Jesse. Just wanted to let you know I'm back and, um... I'm sorry.
