You're gonna fall on your face, girl.

[Oh, like you haven't, Ellie.]

[everysecond]

Am not. I'm going to be like some badass warrior chick riding bareback on a horse as I rush around saving damsels in distress.

[tonsofpun]

Damsels, huh?

[Ellie pulls on a tone of mock suspicion.]

Where the hell are you gonna find damsels to save?

[everysecond]

What? It's not like everyone can punch people with trees like you.

[Though, her main damsel will still be Ellie buuuuut she's not saying that.]

[tonsofpun]

Right answer.

[Ellie gives her a poke in the side. Fuckin' Riley.]

Hell, maybe I'll save a few myself.

[everysecond]

[She jumps and elbows her. No side poking on the horse!]

Alright then we need superhero names. Badass superhero names.

[tonsofpun]

Red Archer.

[She says that one like it's been picked out for a while. Ellie immediately pokes her again, because ow Riley.]

[everysecond]

Okay what does that have to do with your powers?

[Hey! She grabs for Ellie's hands so she can hold them with her own. That'll stop the poking!

And end up with them holding hands.

Um...that's okay too.]

[tonsofpun]

Because I can shoot a bow. And I have red hair. Or something.

Look, I don't fucking know, ask Alice. She made it up. She's like six years old and she thinks I'm awesome.

[Seven, Ellie. But she stops talking right away when Riley grabs her hands, letting her keep them. Whoa.]

[everysecond]

[So yeah. Holding the reigns. And holding hands. This is cool.

Totally looking cool about this.]

Makes no sense to me but I guess you can keep it.

[tonsofpun]

Oh, why thank you, your highness.

[Bad British accent is a go. So is pretending that they're not holding hands or anything, because.

Yeah. Smooth.]

[everysecond]

You're welcome. You're welcome.

[Cue her crappy British accent too. Because it's important.]

[tonsofpun]

Man, there's so many places I gotta take you, and all these people I want you to meet.

... but first, I've got someplace to take you.

[everysecond]

Yeah? Where's that?

[She looks back at her with that smile that has always just belonged to Ellie.]

[tonsofpun]

[Oh, hell, Riley.]

... do you wanna play a video game?

[everysecond]

[She stares at her. She stares for a long time.]

No way.

[tonsofpun]

Way.

[Who says Riley's the only one who's got game?]

I have... in my pocket. A whole sack filled with rune coins. And I was thinking about going to the arcade today.

I mean, if you wanna come along.

[everysecond]

[Hey now, Ellie learned from the best.]

Oh no. You are not going without me.

Point the way.

[tonsofpun]

[Solemnly, she points out the direction, then gives Riley a slow, knowing smile.]

Make it happen.

[everysecond]

[She is totally taking them there now.]

What kind of games? Like, how are awesome are the fighting games?

[tonsofpun]

Almost as awesome as The Turning.

[The one that Riley had her "play".]

I know nothing beats that for you, but hey, you get what you get.

[everysecond]

Almost means that's going be really fucking cool.

[Hey, good enough for her. Not everything can be her favorite game in the world.]

[tonsofpun]

So only sort of fucking cool.

[Wobblyhands as they trot onwards. She's teasing.]

Ever played air hockey?

[everysecond]

That would require electricity.

[Which they were lacking.]

[tonsofpun]

Says the girl who lit up a whole mall.

[Never mind the fact that it wasn't until much later that she figured it out. There wasn't any time.]

I'm gonna teach you. And I'm gonna beat your ass at it.
