[...Not the weird guy. He's... whatever. He wants to get killed? Whatever. But Ellie's been hiding behind an outcropping of grey, lifeless particleboard stuck into the earth cut in the shape of grass and flowers. Grey grass and flowers.

[And then she throws one of the many items she's been tossing into her spare pockets since she got here: a bunch of soda caps in a tin can. They make a clattering din when they hit the pavement on the other side of the shadows. Who freaking knows if that will actually work the way it's supposed to, though.]
