Ellie Carter

Ellie finds Ei in the projection room. She didn't understand this place yet and is glad to see someone who might be able to answer. She's not sure yet how to feel or how to approach these 'wardens', so fuck it. She steps up to him like she would for anybody else.

"Hey! So, what's this room supposed to be? Oooor, you don't know that either? You guys really seem too confused to be wardens."

MILGRAM

Well, now seemed like the time to not confess he'd been in here hoping to find an instruction manual. Ei had to admit this woman's point was valid, but he still rankled at her attitude.

"The MILGRAM Projection System, as the sign outside reads?" Well, maybe he didn't need to snark about it in context.

"…Though if you do happen to have any visual impediments besides the obvious, that would be good information to pass on." But not an obvious enough safety issue to demand from her, apparently.

"But yes, the projection process will take place in here. The prisoner, naturally, will be seated in the chair." Probably. "The system won't activate without the say of a warden, though."

Ellie Carter

"You gonna make us talk by strapping us down to a chair? Hey, I'm an easy talker. You ask me about my crime and I'll just tell ya, okay? No need to break out the bondage."

She shrugs and hardly gives him a chance to react to that before continuing.

"But if you guys also don't know how you got here, doesn't that mean you've been kidnapped too? I feel like we should be workin' together, not against each other."

MILGRAM

Predictably, Ei didn’t look amused at the joke, and the woman moved on too quickly for a snap back. Not worth backtracking to reply to, then. Clearly she understood enough of the situation that he didn’t need to re-explain.

“Were you assuming we’re enemies just because I’m in charge and you’re not? I’d hope we’re all on the same side when it comes to wanting this bizarre… thing to wrap up with as little damage to everyone as possible.”

Ellie Carter

She relaxes too quickly at that, rubbing her forehead.

"Oh, really? Then why go along with it? Why don't we all just stick it to the man? Er, jackalope? I just feel like pryin' into most of these folks is only gonna cause more tension than good."

She leans to the side and steps around him in a circle, looking him up and down.

"You guys don't actually seem particularly well equipped. I don't see no guns or taser! There's only three of you while there's, like… well, a lot more of us. Thirteen? Did they even give ya job training? How you gonna get boys as big as some of the fellas here in line?"

She stops her walking and shrugs.

"Just sayin' for the others. I'm already a talker and I'm not really a violent gal unless your name is the same as the fucker I killed. Although…"

She gives him a wolfish grin and chomps at him, then busts up laughing.

"I do bite!"

MILGRAM

“And what’s your suggestion? Destroy our own living space for fun? Hold painting classes and dodgeball tournaments until someone outside saves us or we run out of food and water?”

“We’ll find a way. Or are you offering to discipline them for us? I don’t see a gun or taser on your person, either.”

He did flinch at the snap of teeth before his look soured again.

“Remind me to bring a spray bottle the next time I deal with you. It should be particularly effective against the rabid.”

Ellie Carter

She laughs again at his flinch and threats. What, is she a cat? Maybe.

"I ain't offering to discipline nobody! I'm just saying we shouldn't think of ourselves on such different sides. Why not work together? All of us are just some humans who don't know how we got here. We're all probably dead an' sent to Hell for a reason, so I wouldn't act so hoity-toity about it. If yer gonna insist on being in charge an' playin' cops...."

With a shrug, she throws her hair back and starts to walk out now. She calls back out to him over her shoulder.

"Well! That'll be your problem when it goes wrong. And you'll see me shakin' my head on the sidelines, thinking 'aw fuck, Ellie thinks she was totally riiiiight now' and you'll be all annoyed about it!"
