Imagine if we hadn't set up at the base.

[Seemed to Aloy that Beta though things were primitive enough with the base.]

[nobetawedielike]

[ she does, her face going on a journey best described "oh god, I would have drowned in a swamp and I'm just realizing it" . ]

....Mmmaybe it's for the best that didn't happen.

[despitethenora]

Mm. Picturing freezing in the mountains, aren’t you.

[nobetawedielike]

Or I'd fall in a marsh and drown. Or heat stroke in the desert, or -

[ oops, she's making herself anxious, gotta reset

and in a wonderful glitch of her brain, she just shoves an entire handful of far too many candy fish in her mouth ]

[despitethenora]

[Just gets her phone out and takes a picture.]

Well. It didn’t come to that.

[Though camping out was a lot more comfy for Aloy.]

[nobetawedielike]

[ MAKING AN ALARMED SOUND, CHIPMUNK CHEEKS AND ALL, AND TRYING TO GRAB THAT PHONE ]

[despitethenora]

- Hey.

[Doesn’t think of the easy answer, which would be hopping back over the counter. Instead, she tries to get a hand on Beta to keep her back. Wherever she can. If it’s her sister’s face well that’s unfortunate.]

[nobetawedielike]

[ face smooshing is a technical foul!!!

powering through those fish ]

Rude!

[despitethenora]

Just doing what I have to.

[nobetawedielike]

[ she keeps reaching for the phone, face pressed into Aloy's hand as she giggles for a minute more before finally pulling back ]

That was way too many candy fish.

[despitethenora]

[stubbornly sticking to the game of keep away]

You think? Lucky you didn't choke on them.

[nobetawedielike]

I'll wait until we leave to try some more. I brought us lunch.

[despitethenora]

That's probably the better choice.

[nobetawedielike]

Don't forget I still have a recording of you singing.

[ and then she's going to try and hop the counter all cool and smooth

(it is not cool and smooth) ]

[despitethenora]

[Trying to restrain a smile, before following.]

Then this makes us even.

[nobetawedielike]

No one will ever believe me without it.

[despitethenora]

Let’s just keep it that way.

[nobetawedielike]

Mmmhm. [ she makes no promises ] Which theater should we check first?

[despitethenora]

[She considers the names posted.]

. . . Something about “leprechauns, whatever those are. Misspelled cramps.

Wait, here’s one about a family.

[nobetawedielike]

"The Parent Trap". Like an actual trap, or...

[despitethenora]

Heh. If you can’t find one, catch one?

[Relatable.]

[nobetawedielike]

Let's do that one.

[ into the theater! ]

[despitethenora]

[In they go!]

Just sit in the middle, probably.

[nobetawedielike]

[ It's in a bad state, but she's still staring around in wonder as they enter ]

It's hard to imagine a bunch of people packed in here together...

[despitethenora]

[Aloy just has to ignore that at least one murder happened around here, and then it's a normal ruin! She'll habitually scan, before finding a seat and settling into it.]

Probably people like Kurumi and Ruby.
