[ Thankfully there's more strawberry left; Tess picks one out for herself. One more! ]

Your girl, huh? I do, she's living with me and my partner currently.

[everysecond]

[Before she picks out her other two, she looks up at the lady she's with. Ellie's living with...]

So...you named Tess?

[unsparing]

That's right. One and only.

[ The one and only badass HBIC. Tess looks over and raises a brow. ]

[everysecond]

Heeeeeeeeey. I'm Riley. I'm Ellie's dead friend who arrived and is living with you. Yay?

[At least she gives her an adorable smile?]

[unsparing]

A dead friend - no wonder she never really mentioned anything. You already know I'm Tess; I'm Joel's dead partner.

Funny how that shit works, yeah?

[everysecond]

Well, like I said to Cyborg Man, we're one happy infected family.

Half of which are dead. Yippee.

[She looks at the cupcakes again and picks vanilla and a purple one that is missing the card for some reason.]

I guess this means we're bringing the cupcakes home together? It works with me. You're pretty okay.

oh. well. shit. snape broke her shoulder & elbow ;ldka.

[unsparing]

Cyborg Man. That's a new one. And well - here - here we all get a second chance at something.

[ Tess offers her a smile and takes up the box of cupcakes in her one hand, taking it over to pay. ]

Bein' 'pretty okay' is better than nothing.

WHOOPS

[everysecond]

Well at least you're not treating me like I'm going to fuck shit up by existing.

[She takes the cupcakes. Hey, Tess is cool so she can at least be nice and do that. Riley's not a bad kid as long as she feels she's getting some respect.]

fml sorry that was my fault for not mentioning in brackets face in hands

[unsparing]

I'm sure you already have. I know I did when I first showed up alive and kickin'.

[ Tess understands respect being a two-way street. Is some asshole doesn't treat her with respect right off the hop, depending on the situation she might either try to weasel it out of him or else she'll pop the fucker in the head with a nice searing hot bullet.

Treat others how you would want to be treated - this is something she can get behind. ]

it's all good. totally done that before.

[everysecond]

I don't think I fucked anything up.

[Well...]

Except for dumping a glass of orange juice all over me and Joel.

<3

[unsparing]

You did what now?

[ Oh Christ-- she can just imagine the old man's reaction, not at all a friendly one. ]

[everysecond]

Surprised by myself by floating a cup of juice then sprayed it all over us?

[Oops?]

[unsparing]

Huh. You got off good, then. I'm dealing with shadows.

[everysecond]

Shadows? Psh? What kind of superpower is that supposed to be?

[unsparing]

One that'll snap your arm in two places and can control anyone into doing anything they don't want to.

[ Her tone and look only darken because it's what had happened to her and Joel already. It's not something she wants to ever go through again. ]

[everysecond]

[She stares at her.]

My bad. That's a fucking awesome power.

[unsparing]

I'll agree with you there. It's worse if you lose control. You can end up hurting people you care about.

[everysecond]

I wonder what I could do with mine. Probably throw a car on someone after I get this mastered.

[Yeah. Nevermind. She's not seeing a downside to that.]

Which house has shadow powers anyway?

[unsparing]

I figure you can do just about anything with that. You could ask around, see if anyone else here has the same ability as you. You're likely to find more than a handful who can help you work it out.

[ Which reminds her, she has to get in touch with Snape soon. ]

And Hel, that's the house I'm from here.

[everysecond]

Cool.

[She looks at the box.]

So..when do I get to have a cupcake?

[unsparing]

Now if you want.

[ Tess holds out the box for her to take, to help herself to. ]

Just remember that's not all just for us, gotta save some for Joel and Ellie.

[everysecond]

You are way nicer than I am. But I guess I could do that.

[She grabs the vanilla one and has a bite of it right away. Oh shit. This is awesome.]

Oh man. This is the best.

[Seriously. She is major into sweets.]

[unsparing]

Hah! If only you knew, kid.

[ She watches on, amused. But a little sad. This girl is young, not as young as Ellie but she seems young enough to have missed the initial night of the outbreak and any of the treats before the world had gone to shit.

Good thing they got this place here to offer them all kinds of goodies. ]

I admit, I do miss most of the sweet shit.

[everysecond]

The sweet shit is the best. There's nothing like this where we're from.

[She licks at the frosting, deciding she quite likes that part. Sweets and alcohol, her two favorite things ever here so far.

Well there was lots of other shit too but those two were at the top of the game.]

Cupcakes. One of my new favorites.

[unsparing]

You can never go wrong with the sweet shit, let me tell you. I'm guessin' you've never had gummy candy, then? Chocolate bars?
