{06th Gunshot; Video} Day 406

[littlesurvivor]

[Clementine looks more than a little disoriented. Her features seem less round and childish, thinned a little given the apparent time she appears to have spent back home when she looks to the bracelet almost wearily after glancing to her arm. She never meant to have to end up doing what she did. Hadn't wanted to, but if it was a chance of her survival, she was getting more used to doing whatever it might take. Still, she is evidently recognizable, still wearing her precious 'D' hat her father gave her. Her arm, shirt and face are splattered with blood, reminiscent of when she initially arrived in Asgard months ago.]

Hi again, I guess? I'm not sure how long it has been here, but back home it was....about a couple of years. I haven't missed anything too major, have I? The bracelet is still the same colour, the gem I mean, so. I guess I'm still in Sigyn and all. I lost my bag, back home. I don't have any supplies or my pistol. I know some people have or can draw weapons. I'd appreciate the help. I mean, unless the pistol I had before is still here.

Oh. And I'm....sorry if I worried anyone. It's...it's good to be back.

Shit, Clem.

[Ellie's voice sounds shaky.]

Still alive there, huh?

[Voice]

[littlesurvivor]

Ellie? Sorry if I worried you. You know though. We don't get a choice. I wouldn't have wanted to go back home.

But...yeah. I'm. Still not bitten. By a walker, at least. I'm managing. Christa was looking after me.

[Voice]

[tonsofpun]

"By a walker, at least"? What's that supposed to mean?

[beforethewar]

[Eight looks relieved, but he's obviously concerned about the state she's returning in. Still, Clem's here, and away from that place again.]

It is so good to have you back, Clementine. Do you...want to talk about it?

[Video]

[littlesurvivor]

[At least the blood isn't hers? Well. Mostly. Her arm may still need stitches or healing from the dog bite but beyond that she isn't too bad off. Just cold, bloodied and wet from falling down into the river.]

I don't know. A lot happened back home. I guess you'd be glad to know that I did find Omid and Christa. They were looking after me for a bit. I mean, until Omid was killed.

[There's no point in bringing up Christa's pregnancy. Not with what happened there. But she is and always would be grateful to the other for taking her in and looking after her in spite of all of that, for sixteen months alone together.]

[Video]

[beforethewar]

I'm sorry, Clementine. He must have been a good man to help look after you.

[He tilts his head and looks at her carefully.]

You've grown...

[It sounds suspiciously like that slightly melancholy "my little girl's growing up" that parents do when they suddenly notice that their little ones aren't so little anymore.]

[firstbeliever]

[One's a kid again and the other grew up, even if it was only a couple of years. Jamie looks worried.]

Are you okay?

video.

[littlesurvivor]

Jamie? Yeah. I'm okay. It was just a dog, not a walker that got me.

[Lets not mention the survivors that attacked. Or the dog. Or falling in the river and passing out shortly after. Don't want to scare him or anything.]

video.

[firstbeliever]

A dog bit you?

[He'd like to think that he doesn't scare easily but there's no telling until faced with something.]

You should clean it so it doesn't get infected and then have it healed.

[forthevillage]

[Here's a familiar face. Maybe. It's a lot younger now.]

You were returned home for a period of years? Yet you retain your memories of this place?

[He frowns. He suppose it makes more sense for it to work that way than if time is reversed.]

video

[littlesurvivor]

Two years, I think. There abouts. And I do remember Asgard. Sometimes people come back and remember, sometimes they don't. It varies.

[And yet now she seems so much more. Casual and detached about it. At least for now, over the network.]

Itachi, right? You seem younger than when I healed you back at the first aid station.

video

[forthevillage]

[His frown deepens as she addresses him by name.]

... If we have met, I do not recall.

'Sometimes they don't' seems to apply to me.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Clementine, hello! Look at you!

[ Growing up. Aw. ]

[Video]

[littlesurvivor]

Doctor. Hi. What about me? I mean, I know I haven't quite had a chance to clean up a bit but...

[Or. Wait, maybe he means in general. If the last he and the rest recall was shortly after she left Lee. Still, she can't help but manage a small smile for him and his excitement at having her back.]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

No, no, not that. You've grown!

[digophelia]

[She's sweeping in like the over-protective big sister she is.]

Clementine! Are you alright?

[littlesurvivor]

Alice? I'm--I'm okay. I just got back from being back home for a bit is all. I didn't miss much, did I?

[Not even questioning it. Because Alice has always been kind of protective of her and little Alice anyway. And Alice is still older.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[The blood worries him. A lot.]

Streuth, what happened to your arm?

Video

[littlesurvivor]

Streuth? It was a dog. He bit me when I tried to stop him eating all the food.

[Voice]

[most_qualified]

Are you okay?

[Voice]

[littlesurvivor]

I will be. It's just a dog bite. I'll get the Doctor to have a look at it.

voice.

[intelligently]

Do you remember everything about being here?

voice.

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah. I do. I know not everyone does though when they come back sometimes.

[reaction]

I see you're back from walkerville. [ He remembers her mentioning that she'd had to deal with the living dead back home. Asgard must seem like a little slice of heaven compared to all of that. ]

I'm guessing things are as bad as they were before or even worse?

Are you okay?

video; private

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah. Looks like it. I was back there for a while this time too.

[She bites her lip at both questions. Considering before answering.]

It's...well, worse in some ways. Better in others. I'm used to it by now. Even if people are getting more desperate. And I'll be okay. It's just my arm. A dog bit me.
