[vaccination]

Something? More like the exclamation button way too many times. There's a lesson in all of this!

[hostage]

"Never be happy"?

[vaccination]

No. Don't hit the button so much.

[hostage]

Lesson learned.

[vaccination]

Also? You started it.

[Not that she really minds. It's nice to hear his voice, and hear that he sounds alright.]

[hostage]

I'm pretty sure you started it.

[vaccination]

Nah. Pretty sure you're wrong. I don't start anything.

[hostage]

Me neither. I'm terrible at starting things.

[vaccination]

I think we're twins.

[hostage]

Oh my god, what if we are?

[vaccination]

[It's sad that the crazy guy locked up somewhere is the first person to get Ellie to laugh this much since the whole mutiny.]

Then we--wait, I don't know! Why are you going along with this?!

[hostage]

Wouldn't that be the best?

[vaccination]

Too bad one of us seems to have either gone into the future or gone into the past and uh, either turned into a chick or a dude somewhere along the way.

[hostage]

I turned into a chick once. For like a week.

[vaccination]

[There's a pause before Ellie speaks up.]

... you're not serious.

[hostage]

It was like a magic accident thing.

...

I was pretty cute.

[vaccination]

[That's sort of horrifying. Ellie never wants to be a guy.]

Like with boobs and everything?

[hostage]

The whole deal.

[vaccination]

Ew. Sorry, but--no. [She's just imagining Jesse with long hair and a rack and no no no.]

[hostage]

I wish I had pictures.

[vaccination]

... it's probably a good thing you don't. [Ellie knows what guys do with photos of chicks. That's fine and all, but when it's YOURSELF as a chick... there's gotta be something wrong with that.]

[hostage]

[No. There's nothing wrong with it, Ellie.]

Shut up.

[vaccination]

Not even trying to deny it. Weirdo.

[At least she sounds amused.]

Man, nothing's really crazy happened with me and magic yet. I got healed a few times, but that's it. It would be cool to be like... taller, for a week.

[hostage]

Seriously be careful what you wish for.

[vaccination]

I know, I know. I'm not going to ask anyone to cast any spells on me. With my luck I'd turn into a toad. Forever.
