[ 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.

[nobetawedielike]

It must have been nice. Moms with their kids, excited to watch something...

[despitethenora]

Do you think they’d want their children watching stories about trapping parents?

[nobetawedielike]

Maybe it's not a bad kind of trap?

[ she's heading up the stairs leading to the top row, then trying to climb onto one of the seats to reach the projector window

unfortunately, it's too high up ]

I think we need to get in here...

[despitethenora]

Haven’t seen a trap yet that was good to fall into.

[Ah. She’ll join Beta, and crouch a bit to put her hands over her knee. Want a boost up Ellie sis?]

[nobetawedielike]

[ weighing her trust in Aloy vs her worry about falling backwards and hitting every chair on the way down...

she'll take that lift but she's absolutely hanging onto Aloy is a little too hard while she does. ]

I should be able to fit through.
