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.

Could be. Who the fuck knows?

[ Their Mirrors are psycho, remember? ]

[long, frustrated pause]

I'm gonna kill 'em.

Hey, I don't like mine, either, but we can't even get close to them. Remember? If you got on their side, he'd just get zapped over here. It's impossible.

You have clearly never rigged nothin' to explode before.

Um, no? [ wait-- ] Actually, I've made nail bombs before. And, um, molotovs. So I know a little about explosives.

See. There you go. Always rig your stuff on the off-chance that you might get sucked into the other side and your Mirror gets grabby.

On a tangentially related note, never go into my room without an invite.

If my stuff's on me and it's rigged and 'my Mirror gets grabby,' won't I just blow up, too? Not looking for that to happen.

[ Duh!! ]

Uh-- Okay? [ Ellie admits a laugh, shaking her head. ] Will do. ... I mean, 'won't do,' I guess.
