Expedition Log 5

[lara_the_explorer]

Who: Lara Croft and You
What: Lara returns from the Dead Zone
When: Now.
Where: Castle grounds, Town, or the woods
Rating: PG



Lara returns to Paradisa's safe territory, looking pretty filthy from her outdoor adventuring. But hardly any major injuries, fortunately. When she reached a fork in the road within the woods, she stopped and tried to decide. Should she go straight back to the castle, or just go to town a bit and probably get a drink? Either way, she's gonna be seeing residents from the castle again. Oh well, her alone time was fun while it lasted.

Now, Ellie has seen monsters. She's gotten up close and personal with horrible, mutated, mindless humans and has definitely killed her fair share of them. But this... thing, whatever it was that the older girl drew, that just kind of creeps her out for reasons she isn't even really sure. Maybe it's because it looked completely inhuman, unlike the Infected.

"Shit... and there are a lot of these things?" She's already planning on how best to defend herself if these things come out of this 'Dead Zone'. It couldn't be that hard to find components for the bombs and such Joel had taught her how to make. She had her switchblade, and her pistol was fully loaded... "Has anyone tried to just... clear them out of there? Or are there too many?"

"I'm not going to lie and say there aren't, but those who've been there said they scattered all over Terre Haute, once they knew they were no match against the residents" Lara folds the paper with the sketch and puts them back in her pocket.

"No. Everyone just went home without bothering about these creatures, or the giant ship they crashed in with" Lara shakes her head. It bothers her that no one tried to find answers about these creatures, and it bothers her that she really couldn't make it there without the help of modern transportation.

"... They just... went home." There's a tone of disbelief in Ellie's voice, and she's not even trying to hide it. "Are they fucking stupid?! How can anyone rest easy knowing a bunch of freaky things like that are out there somewhere?"

"I don't have all the answers. I wasn't in that expedition to know why they had to go back. I can understand why, they weren't prepared for a fight when they went there. I only went to the edge of the Dead Zone and I'm already almost out of ammunition..." Lara looked down for a second, almost agreeing why the other residents didn't make sure to exterminate all those bugs before they repopulate.
