meet you outside the houses?

I'll be ready.

[ as promised, she's waiting outside Greed, whittling a last couple arrows with her switch blade. ]

[Ellie will probably be able to watch across the way as Aloy makes her way back to and into Envy. Comes out with another bow. Looks around, touches her Focus. Goes back in. Comes back out and heads for the greenhouse. Goes.........

EVENTUALLY she's approaching Greed.]

Hey.

Hey! You're busy today.

I keep a few things going.

[She'll offer Ellie the foodland bow. Not even thinking about whether it's good for a girl Ellie's age to be arming up.]

Think this will work for you?

[ she takes it, giving it a test pull ]

Yeah! Seems sturdier than what I had before. Should have enough power.

That's sturdier for you?

[What kind of bow privilege has Aloy had?]

Yeah? The the one we found scavenging could be kind of finicky. Better for hunting than a fight.

A beast or two around here would make it a fight.

This was good enough to take on the corpses in the hospital last time I was there, though. Seemed like the spore storm was as rough on them as it was for everyone else.

[ grimacing, ]

If it got in there, it's probably growing all over the walls too. I wouldn't be surprised if there was worse than Clickers now. I'd rather have the stuff for nail bombs and molotovs, but I have my gun if it goes south.

[ she pulls it from her waistband, offering it out ]

Might be good if you learned real quick how to use it, just in case.

"Molotovs?"

[She'll accept the gun, touching her Focus out of habit, even if it isn't much help in this case.]

Usual trigger...must be hard to aim, short as it is.

Molotov cocktail. Bottle full of alcohol, put a cloth in it and set it on fire. Blows up as soon as it breaks. Instant fire bomb. BOOM.

It's not, actually. And it's a lot faster than a rifle or a shotgun

That's...actually a good idea. Think that terrible banana beer would work?

No one around to stop us from testing it.

Let's pick some up before we go running into the hospital.

[If Aloy and her open world brainrot has her way, day 43 will start while they're still in the hospital.]

Good thing we've got all the time in the world.

[ do you though ]

I'll show you how to shoot on the way.

Great. If you've got enough arrows, let's get to it.

You sure you don't need a knife? It's a lot sneakier than a spear.

[ she packs her stuff up and hops up ]

I can get a lot done with a spear. But if you have one to spare.

[ pulling out a shiv and passing it over ]

Can never be too armed.

[Shiv. . .]

Did you make this?

[ as she's loading a clip into her gun, ]

Yeah, me and Joel make most of our own stuff. Shivs, nail bombs, smoke bombs, molotovs.

[Tucking the shiv away, because sharp things are bound to be useful somehow.]

I've done smoke bombs. Just need some metal shards, machine muscle, and blast paste.

Metal shards? That sounds more like a nail bomb. It fuck someone up?
