[The feed comes on, but at first, everything's dark.]
The hell is this?
[Then there's a shot of Ellis's gray eye, and then it pans back out to his face. He's covered in a layer of dirt and various bodily fluids, and beyond that, he's tired and bruised in a few places. The stone ceiling of his barracks room can be seen in the background, and Ellis looks quite perplexed.]
Hello? Anybody out there? This funny little book's talkin' about worlds bein' unmade and records bein' kept and whatnot, but it ain't makin' much sense.
Like, how'm I here if everythin's not made anymore? And hell, you can't unmake shit! My friend Keith tried to unmake a car once, cause he thought it was haunted, but all he got was a broken car and a face full'a burnin' oil. He quit messin' with it after that, mostly 'cause he went blind for like six months. Don't know if it was really haunted or nothin', but I guess anything can happen, after the zombies an' shit...
[Ellis just trails off, then looks around the room. With his free hand, he rubs the space between his shoulder and neck and winces. Getting pounded into the ground by a charger sucks, and he's still aching.
Then, he turns back to the camera and smiles, though it's a little uneasy.]
So, hey, m'name's Ellis. I'm lookin' for Nick, Rochelle, and Coach, if any y'all out there.
[And they had to be, didn't they?]

[But, ever the optimist, Ellis continues:]
Least we get beds, though, that ain't so bad. S'been way too long since I just laid down for a good long sleep.
[Audio]
[Cranky, its name is Ryn. Though his last comment gets a raised eyebrow.]
What kind of world are you from where beds are things to look forward to?
[Audio]
[Ellis likes crashing down into one after a hard day's work.]
But, it was just kinda dangerous, I guess, what with alla zombies. Couldn't always find a nice place t'stay in.
[Audio]
That's a line of thinking I could be getting behind.
[...and that wasn't at all what she was expecting.]
Your world is filled with zombies?
[Audio]
[Audio]
That sucks. Hell, might as well consider this a zombie-free vacation, then.
[Audio]
[For Ellis, the bright side is the only side!]
And get a shower. Yeah, shower sounds real good right about now.
[Audio]
[Why so cheerful, Ellis. It makes it hard to be cranky. It also makes her want to be extra cranky, just to make up for it.]
If you're looking for hot water, you're out of luck, unless you're a fan of public showers.
