[littlesurvivor]

[It's early evening when she turns on the bracelet to address the network properly since the first time she returned. Again. But this time, it's different. The gem isn't Sigyn's green anymore. Instead, the colour signifies her as being in Hel House now.]

I was wondering...I'm guessing I'm not the only one here that has changed Houses? It'll take a bit of getting used to. Going from healing to shadow control once I came back from being back home again. I know Ellie mentioned Joel can use it too. I've just never been in Hel to remember anyone else off of the top of my head.

[There's a shift of her hand a bit as she manipulates the shadow of her teddy bear into one from a triceratops next to her.]

It's kind of neat though. I'll be able to use it more defensively and offensively than my healing anyway. I need to practice though. Any requests?

[Yeah. Lets just. Focus on the power thing and ignore the implications this particular house has and everything. :lb]

[yamagishi]

I never heard anything like from the guide!

But I suppose there are still a lot of things I don't know about this place though. I guess anything can happen here?

[And she guessed right!]

[littlesurvivor]

Well, a lot happens here. I take it you must be pretty new though? I'm Clementine. I guess I can try help if you have any questions, I've been here.....a while now.

[yamagishi]

I think I have most of the information down but a lot of it is difficult for me to understand. I know that most things are for free, we live in houses, we have to fight a war... [Pause] It's just a lot.

But my name is Fuuka Yamagishi, it's nice to meet you Celmentine-chan!

[littlesurvivor]

Not all of us have to fight. Some of us are more...support. I used to have healing, using that to help at the clinic, for example. And the drawing life people can always help out by drawing supplies we might need, say. I don't think most really approve of us kids being involved in the actual fighting.

[But well. Clementine is used to it. Used to being underestimated, seen as a little girl. She knows they mean well. Trying to protect her. But this is nothing she hasn't already been through likely even worse back home, or so she figures thus far.]

[yamagishi]

And I don't blame them. Fighting is a huge responsibility and sometimes, there are some who can't even handle the idea of harming others. It's definitely a lot and especially for teenagers to do the same thing much less children.

[But she paused for a bit. Right now, she knew she was in Odin but she had no idea what her power was just yet. She knew that this place was for people who were smart in some ways but still...]

I suppose I can look through the library again and see what I can do.

[littlesurvivor]

Maybe....a couple of years ago I'd have been like that. Not wanting to hurt anyone. But....a lot has happened since then.

[She's been through a lot. So much more than any other eleven year old. Not even a teenager. Clementine was barely turned nine when she pulled the trigger to kill for the first time.]

What you can do? How do you mean? Your power? There's a school.

[yamagishi]

[That made Fuuka raise an eyebrow]

A lot has happened since the beginning of the school year but...may I ask what happened? Is that why you changed houses?

[So much as happened when she started experiencing the Dark Hour. Between seeing so much death, she did have to wonder a few things but that didn't stop her from hoping]

Um...What do you mean by that?

[littlesurvivor]

I haven't been to school back home in a couple of years. I've been going here though, in Asgard. But....I think things back home affected my House and so that changed. I've...seen a lot of people die. Because of the walkers. It's....kind of complicated.

[There's almost a shrug, a pursing of lips as she lowers her gaze a bit. So many others have no idea about walkers. They're lucky. Not to have to go through it.]

[yamagishi]

Walkers? I'm sorry if I'm intruding but may I ask what you mean by that?

[A lot of people die huh? That sounds a little bit similar to what a certain friend of hers had to go through.]

[littlesurvivor]

Walkers are....we're all infected, back home. They mean you come back to life after you die. Go around biting others and turning them. Like zombies. You have to aim for the head, if you take out the brain, that kills them.

[She gets the question a lot. Clementine is used to it.]

[yamagishi]

[Blink blink]

So...Walkers are like zombies? And you have to deal with them a lot back home don't you?

O-Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't realize that was the reason why you have so much death around you but I suppose I should have known when you mentioned Walkers.

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah. In a nutshell.

[There's a shake of Clementine's head at that. She's used to others kind of freaking out a bit after getting curious.]

No, it's okay. It's just....something I have to deal with, back home. I'm lucky in Asgard there aren't any at least. Grateful for that much. Even with the rations and all this is still better than back home.

[yamagishi]

Either way, it sounds like it was rather difficult to live back at home. I can ever imagine trying to survive with so many zombies after you!

[The most she can ever do is avoid the shadows with Juno after 10 hours. Although, now that she doesn't have her anymore, that was something else]

[littlesurvivor]

It....wasn't easy. A lot of the time, we didn't have much food. Not enough supplies. But we kept going. We're managing. Somehow. I'm not alone.

[The longer it is, the more desperate people become. The more unlikely it seems there will ever be respite, any sort of cure.]

[yamagishi]

But still! It's rather impressive that you managed to survive for that long! I'm sorry that your world has to have zombies though.

[As awkward as that might sound, she was genuine about it. But still, a world filled with zombies? That's everyone's worst nightmare]

[littlesurvivor]

It's...just how things are. I'm not sure exactly how it all started. All we can do is keep going from here. Keep moving forward and doing what we can, what we need to do in order to survive. The Doctor says even if he wanted to, it's probably not something he could change. A fixed point in time.

[yamagishi]

The Doctor? [That made her raise an eyebrow]

How does he have anything to do with the zombies or something about a fixed point in time? Or rather...how is this related to your world?

[littlesurvivor]

He's....a friend. He can travel to different times, through space with his ship. I once asked him if he thought he could help us with things back home, but he told me he probably couldn't, even if he were to try.

[Back then she was younger and still had that glimmer of optimism and hope.]

[yamagishi]

...Asgard is a strange and wonderful place isn't it? I never heard of anyone who would travel through time and space. Back home, we're still trying to figure it out with no success at all...

But even then, I still wonder if it is still possible to save your world. Maybe just a little.

[Said the girl who more or less defeated Death with her friends]

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah, it was still....a work in progress back home I guess too. Before the walkers, I mean. Now nothing is really advancing or improving as far as I know. I'm not sure if there is some way to cure everyone. To stop it. But if there was....it's already been two years.

[yamagishi]

You never know, maybe they are finding a way to work on a cure. It does take some time but I'm sure there will be something soon!

[hopefully]

[littlesurvivor]

Maybe they are. I doubt it though. I'm not about to hold my breath for one.

[Besides, most walkers are killed on sight by survivors, so even if there were a cure, it wouldn't bring them back. She long ago lost that hope. That optimism. Not entirely, but it nowhere near as strong as it was.]

[yamagishi]

But it is worth a try? Then again, I never lived in your world before so I was never placed in a position like that. Although, I will still hope that there will be a cure for one.

If there is a miracle, it might happen.

[Fuuka was never a real fan on horror movies anyway. She can't imagine being put on the spot where real danger lurked everyday with no way of protecting yourself. How terrible, she thought to herself.]

[littlesurvivor]

I guess there's nothing for it but to wait and see. If there is a cure and it works and things turn out, or not. If there is one, I don't know about it. I don't know if I could figure out a cure. The walkers just sort of....showed up one day. I hid in my treehouse with some supplies and that's when Lee found me.

[yamagishi]

[There was a pause coming from her end. While the shadows did appear for quite sometime, it might as well have appeared out of nowhere for her when she started to join SEES.]

Lee? I apologise if I might be prying but may I ask who Lee is?
