[backpacking]

Hey... so, I totally missed my one-year mark. Pretty sure that was right in the middle of the Infected shit storm-- that couldn't be related, could it? But, anyway, I'm hoping someone just forgot to come by and give me my special badge or whatever you get for this illustrious milestone? I forgive you for being late, since I completely forgot, and you can come by with that prize anytime. Unless it's just for the five-year guys, and if that's the case, then... booooo.

[ Ellie pulls a face, offering a helpful thumbs-down for the camera. ]

Anyway! "What I Learned on My Wonderland Vacation"... I'm way less likely to drown now! Thanks, Jo. [ ... ] Uh, I know way too much about a lot of your personal lives, which is... gross, sometimes. There are kids here, people. [ Some of you are just nasty. ] I figured out exactly how much molten chocolate cake I can down before I get sick. That's three, and I'd say they're all big accomplishments. ... Except that middle one.

[ There are a bunch of other things, too, but her attention is already wandering and she yawns to prove it. ]

Does anyone have a Mirror who isn't extremely creepy? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Honestly, she doesn't know what to say to that. She doesn't know what it's like to live your whole life in a post-apocalyptic world. Hell, people go crazy even in regular old Oregon.]

Id hate being alone too

but were you? Alone?

[backpacking]

sometimes. usually i had this guy with me though.
a friend. we kept each other safe.

he's back there whenever i go home.

Im glad you have someone you trust

and who won't let you go crazy.

That must be pretty rare where you're from.

[backpacking]

it is. and even if you find people like that, they're always in danger, so...
yeah. they come and go.

[mypartnerintime]

[Oh. Ohhh.]

I'm sorry that you lost people, Ellie.

[backpacking]

everyone loses people. it's not your fault.
it just happens.

[mypartnerintime]

[Yes, everyone does. But Max can appreciate it anyway- just because it's common, doesn't mean it hurts any less.]

Im sorry to hear it anyway.

This got kinda heavy huh> Sorry I didnt mean to bum all over your anniversary. :\

Lemme know if I can make it up to you somehow

[backpacking]

[mypartnerintime]
