{11th Gunshot; Video}

[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]

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?

[littlesurvivor]

Lee is a friend I met back home who helped me when the walkers showed up. Took me to Savannah to help me find my parents. I'm glad he's here. You know, a familiar face and all.

[That and. Back home Lee died, so. Asgard is the only place she has this chance to see him again.]

[yamagishi]

[If she only knew...]

That's good to hear. At least there is someone from your own world to help you out and figure out the both of you can do about Asgard.

[...]

I suppose in some ways we are little lucky that we have someone from our world with us.

[As selfish as it may seem]

[littlesurvivor]

Yeah. I mean, I managed fine without Lee when I first got here. But....it's good to have him back. To see him again. I can't back home, so Asgard is our only chance to be together like this.

[yamagishi]

[For a couple of seconds, Fuuka thought about what she meant by that. However, it didn't take too long for her to realize the implications behind Clementine's words.

If she can see her dead friends here, then that must mean...]

...I'm sorry. I didn't realize that he was well...you know. I just hope that his death wasn't...

[She had a few ideas on what might happen but she didn't want to pry into it too much]

[littlesurvivor]

It was quick. He got bit looking for me. So I....I shot him. To stop him turning.

[It's a story she has told before. Easier with each telling even if it still hurts. She still misses him back home, but at least here they're together.]

[yamagishi]

[Meanwhile, Fuuka just stared at her. While she was shocked that such a thing happened to her back home, she was more shocked that this girl just told it so...casually.]

It sounds like you went through a lot more than I thought. Not to only shoot your own friend out of mercy but...

[littlesurvivor]

I did what I had to. It was my fault he got bit. And I couldn't just leave him there to turn and suffer.

[She's been through a lot more than most would have at her age. Clementine makes no secret that her world is kind of. Crap, back home. But usually only talks about it when asked. Walkers, killing....it's part and parcel of her life back home.]

[yamagishi]

[Fuuka thought about what to say back to her. She had to face a similiar situtation and while she wasn't the one who made that decision, it didn't change how she felt.]

But still...that must have been so tough and to kill your friend too! It's just so terrible!
