Do me a favor and tell that to the dudes in Pittsburgh, yeah?

What were they doing in Pittsburgh?

Herding people into the city they overthrew so they could kill them and take their stuff. Assholes tried to run us down with a tank.

Sounds like bandits...would've needed a lot more ammo to take that on.

I mean, we took out who we could, but when they've got a tank, it's better to just sneak around as much as you can. We ended up having to leap off a bridge, it was insane.

[Jumping off a bridge does sound like fun, though]

Well. Glad you got through it.

And we made the tank blow up later. Double win.

[ oh look, it's the store looming--

why does every building in this town loom like that seriously ]

Would hate to miss it.

Come on.

[She's just heading straight to the door.]

Time to blow shit up!

[ she's kicking the door open, beelining for the liquor aisle ]

You said banana flavored beer, right?

That's what they had last time I was out here.

[Heading thataway as well, and rummaging to come up with a bottle.]

Like this.

Should work. Grab a couple, and I'll grab some of the clothes to use for rags.

All we gotta do is tuck some rag inside, set it on fire, and throw.

Got some cloth you’re willing to part with?

Aaaas if. I've got like 4 shirts, that's more than I've had in my life and I ain't giving up a single one. The magical self supplying store can handle it.

Uh huh. See what we can scrounge up then.

[ ignore those bandages on her arm, okay, they're not useful

off she goes to the clothes aisle to rummage up a couple pieces ]

I don't got any flint or lighters, but we could old school it.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard.

[ Ellie has absolutely no restraint in the store. There's clothes being tossed everywhere with no regard for anyone coming after to pick it up. She even holds a couple up to her chest to feel out keeping a shirt.

Eventually, she kicks a couple aside and makes her way back over with one tossed over her shoulder, switchblade in hand. ]

Plenty of sticks outside. Ready?

[She won't rush Ellie. She looks a bit amused by the almost-trying-shirts-on.

Listen, she enjoys outfits.]

Whenever you are. Need a change?

Eh, it all sucks. Don't even got any good shoes. Now let's go! Onto science and blowing shit up.

The two go together better than I would've thought.

[A nod, and she'll head out the door. Time to make trouble.]

Want the honor of first try?

[That's all Aloy needs to hear. She cranks the top off a beer bottle, then holds out a hand.]

Rag?

[ she's got a strip of shirt slapping into her hand almost immediately ]

Check!

Let's see...should just put it in, right?

[Mumbling and cramming the rag into the bottle. Yeah, that should do it.]

[ busying herself with gathering some rocks ]

Usually, you'll want to throw a rock ahead of time to get all the infected to gather in one place, or draw a hunter closer. Don't light it until you're sure you're ready to throw.
