@likemosaic : [ MEDIC ] sender arrives on receiver’s doorstep ,  badly bleeding

in an uncharacteristic move, ellison is within the old mormon fort's walls after dark. it may have something to do with it being "their turn" for the night shift, only if the rumours are to be believed. the other followers would be partially relieved they don't have to worry about people stumbling onto their doorstep from the strip after ellison demonstrated her favourite party trick. ellison would simply like if nobody stumbled onto the doorstep, mainly because they were far too engrossed in the little project they had then having to bandage up some idiot caravaneer. julie had given them a piece of wood soft enough to carve, and so she had spent the last four hours straight trying to make some kind of figure. so far they had a oval blob but progress is progress.

the moon had just crested past its peak when they were interrupted by very insistent banging on the fort's main door. ellison tucked the penknife into the pocket of their shorts and stood up. their buzzed head was out on display and they were dressed in only the shorts and a cropped tank top, a lazy outfit even for their standards. with both hands, she yanks the door open and is greeted by an unpleasant sight. not the amount of blood (even though there was a good amount - they had seen more), but The Courier.

despite doing their best to avoid hearing of the legion these days, even she couldn't escape the news of what befell fortification hill. just staring at the woman before them, a little hint of bile crept into their throat. something about the greater good still didn't sit quite right with them. ❛ look what the deathclaw dragged in, huh. ❜ they comment, giving kaj a once over look. they can't determine how much damage there is, but it sure as shit isn't pretty. shoving the door a couple inches further so the gap is wider, they jerk their head towards the back of the fort. ❛ straight line right to the end, tent on your right should be empty. go or i'll start considering this more. ❜
