☣ third story. (video)

( Ellie's just sort of lying down by the vine, playing with a tiny tiny fruitknife. It looks blunt and useless, and like it's seen better days, but Ellie is just unfolding and refolding it. )

I've been thinking. ( A bit of a pause, and her voice drops, something like self mockery. ) Big shock, there.

So, if we're all here, and we're all... stuck. That means all our friends and people, they're either home, or they might just wind up here too, right? ( Hmm. Either she's got extremely muted enthusiasm, or she's confused by the idea. Or maybe both. ) Does anyone have friends here? Friends not from here, I mean, the sort that are imports from home.
( Again, with the dry side commentary. ) Like... wine, or something. ( . . . Well. There's Homer. ) Or cheap beer.

( Ellie shakes her head, brushing her hair out of her face. )
The point was... if you do, or if you don't-- do you wish your friends were here? Is it wrong, wishing that? Wishing that people you love where here, with you, when it means there'd also be... some sort of sci-fi-fantasy nightmare with... killer plants, or if... having them here, you being here meant that you weren't doing whatever stupid, important things you had to get done back home?

Or... ( she clears her throat ) something.


( ooc:: I have to zip out to work shortly, but I will backtag forever when I get home! )

Those two always did have each other's backs. Probably one of the healthier relationships, on the world-wide front.

And, well... yeah. Bears are the cuddliest things around. I mean, rabbits and foxes and cats are nice, but they don't make good pillows like bears do. I have a pet kermode, home. Had her for centuries.

Ah, but I'm sure it's a fond kind of hell. For instance, I'm pretty sure it's America's philosophy that no one is allowed to invade me but her. Same sort of deal.

Pretty much. Sure, they will if times are rough and the human was clearly asking for it, but all in all, they're really quite lovable, especially if you treat them right.

Mn, it's just an assumption people tend to make, really. I mean, okay, I have an unfair advantage because I've been at it so long with bears who knew who I was, but it's not like it's magic or anything like that.

It's no worse than the way people think of deer and moose. Moose get such bad stigma. Beaver are far crankier little things.

Not to mention the bunyips.

Of course, I have seen bears and moose do horrible things. But then I've seen Oz's koala be perfectly cuddly, too. Moment after taking a good swipe at France, but that's neither here nor there. On the other hand... you definitely win for snakes. Without a doubt.

Pft, I'm half convinced that's precisely what Oz's pet is: a dropbear. Would fit the description well enough, even if it's not that big.

If I ever get home, I'll look into getting one for her.

I cannot think of a single person who would ever let me live that. I'll just have to man up and take my chances.

So easy to please, the lot of you are sometimes. It's great.

I believe that. But how've you been settling in, Ellie? I didn't even ask.

Short of getting you home, is there anything I can do to help?

Depends on your definition of works, really. I haven't done anything with it myself, but from what I've seen, things tend to look right, but not necessarily work how they should.

It would probably blow bubbles or something.

Making places seems to work pretty well if you put your mind to it, though.

I don't know if it'll serve you any better than realistic expectations and persistence, but if you want me to, I can.

Good, then.

But, oh, I think sometimes weird things happen over in the place you have to go to get the dirt. So I don't think you should go alone, if you do go.
