Who| Riley and YOU
What| Obligatory open intro log
Where| District 9's suite, and then wandering the tower
When| TODAY
Warnings/Notes| Riley has a foul mouth. Also possible mentions of violence and zombies & her being expectant of her own worse-than-death fate whoops.


Despite her much more pressing concerns, the first thing Riley does when the soldiers (ignoring the creative invective she sets on them the whole way) leave her in the large room - cleaner and better furnished than any she's seen, that's for sure - is raid the fridge. Because fuck it, you know? She's dead to the world in a few hours to a couple days, if these assholes decided they just needed to bump in on an infected girl's last few moments of sanity then she's going to take or use all their good shit because she fucking can and it won't have any consequences she'll remember. She intends to have something good in the final hours she's spending as herself, and anyway the stuff they've stocked in here is way better than your ordinary unfortunate ever glimpses in their rations.

But once she's stuffed herself to the metaphorical gills and left the kitchen a mess, she's back to her real priorities - finding Ellie, or finding a way the hell out, hopefully both if she's got some luck left. She doesn't want to be in a populated area when the mushrooms start growing in her brain, she's out to protect the people, from her own shambling not-a-corpse if need be. Alternately, if the creepy military jerkwads intend to use her as a caught infected for experimentation, she will do her damnedest to deny them the utility of her mindless shell. She doesn't owe them shit.

She'd rather find Ellie, though. She doesn't want to be alone. Doesn't want to leave Ellie alone like this, either. And if they kidnapped Riley, they probably have her as well.

"Holy shit," she mutters to herself as she wanders the halls, trying to find some kind of exit. The whole place is so lit up it's a sheer fucking waste. They could be using this kind of electric power to actually help people live in a less shitty situation, and instead they're wasting it on some bigwig's personal playground. "Every time I think I can't be surprised by how shitty and self-serving the higher-ups are anymore, they gotta do something like this just to prove me wrong."

She gives Riley a solid handshake, but there's still a certain flightiness to it, like she's expecting to get pulled away at any second. Back when she shook hands with fans there could be a moment at any time when a bodyguard would step in and take her to safety.

The concern on her face is cracked by a snort and a laugh. "Oh, honey, you ain't seen nothing yet. I'm dressed tame compared to some of the people you'll see around here."

"See, for me this is all sort of like back home. I'm mostly just getting used to other people getting used to it." All the post-traumatic stress disorder and meltdowns make it a bit hard for her to just relax and enjoy the indulgence their captors provide. And it's strange - she used to not even believe them to be captors.

"Mind if you walk with me while I set these aside? I don't want to be rude and just leave you hanging halfway through an introduction."

"You think? It seems almost nice by most of the standards here." She waves a hand. "You know, if you need an outright tour, I have time."
