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.

[despitethenora]

Got some cloth you’re willing to part with?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

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.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

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.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

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?

[despitethenora]

[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?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

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

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

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

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

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Want the honor of first try?

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

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

Rag?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

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

Check!

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

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.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Seeing this, and not mentioning the 15 rocks in her pockets.]

Like directing a machine's attention. Makes sense.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

[ she's trotting back over, two rocks ready to try and spark up the molotov ]

Ready?

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Ready. I'll toss it over there.

[Indicating where she's decided it's okay to toss a test bottle, before she holds it out for Ellie.]

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

[ 3, 2, 1, fiiiiire ]

Throw, throw, throw!

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Hauling back, and...hup! Smash! FWOOSH.

Fuck that bit of grass in particular.

Aloy gives an impressed whistle.]

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

[ she gives an excited whoop, jumping around ]

Fuck yeah! That's how you do a molotav!

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

Pretty good. Where did you learn that, again?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

This guy I run with, Joel. He was an adult when Outbreak Day hit, so he had to figure out how to do stuff to survive when it went to shit.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

[Oh. She's watching the flames, quiet for a moment.]

I learned from an outcast hunter. Rost.

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

He taught you the bow?
