Who| Ellie and OPEN
What| Ellie is just trying to survive but that's kind of hard when you're starving.
Where| Wandering around
When| Catch-all for everything from the cornucopia through the second week.
Warnings/Notes| language, for sure. will update if anything else.
Ellie was starving.
It wasn't the first time she had starved, of course, and it was very unlikely to be the last. It was just the first time she had starved without anything she could really do about it.
She was pretty good with plants - knew better than to eat things she wasn't absolutely sure wasn't poisonous - and she didn't recognize any of the plants. So she'd made do with the rotten apples - digging out the rotten bits with her fingers and eating around the rest. It wasn't good, and she'd thrown up once, but any food was good food, at this point.
It simply wasn't going to last.
So she went hunting.
Not literally, of course. She was armed only with a piece of wood, and she'd done nothing but run from the wildlife and the creepy moving forest. No. She was hunting for supplies. She was hunting for people.
People she could steal from.
No way that could go wrong, right?

Talk about the perfect cocktail of surprise. It wasn't just the realization that, Jesus Christ, there's a kid (not much of a kid, she remembered, because Ellie's about the age Julie was when she blew that guy's face off) from home, who's gone through the whole schtick. Dead family and a ruined world and nothing left to offer it but survival. Not just that. She had to go and mention R, too.
She rolled the girl another apple just to keep her here longer.
"I guess he's making friends, huh?" Admittedly, it was weird as hell for her to think that -- and someone like Ellie, shouldn't she have been trying to pop the zombie's head off?
Cute? Yeah. Well. Okay, he really was. "Yeah, he's... a friend. I mean, for years I've been popping his kind and then he kidnaps me to show me his snowglobe collection."
