Giggle. "We'll find a way."

"So I trust."

"Ready to take this stuff back?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Back they shall go!

Permalink

Back!

"If we bring a wagon on the return trip, I could move it," she says, grinning. "Especially if I've made myself look alive by then."

"One step at a time."

Permalink

"Okay, okay."

"Do you want to go through these to see if you can look alive?"

Permalink

"Yeah. It'll be a good first step."

Nod.

"Point me at the ones with the useful necromancy for disappearing someone?"

"Maybe I'll entertain myself while you sleep by writing my own."

Permalink

"That'd be helpful."

Permalink

"It'd be hard not to!"

Permalink

"Then I'll have to do an objectively superlative job."

Permalink

Permalink

Giggle. "Only thing I'll need is writing supplies."

Permalink

"You can use the computer to do that."

Permalink

"Huh."

Permalink

She pays close attention, but - this isn't that hard to get the hang of, she reckons. It'll just take practice to get quicker.

Permalink

Ellie can pull up some typing practice things too, if she wants.

Permalink

The ghost just uses telekinesis, which she bets circumvents all that; still, she should probably get a feel for Ellie's keyboard's tolerance for ghostly typing.
