Do people often find gifts here?

The people who brought us here are really not bad. I thought they might be, because my experience with that sort of thing isn't the best. I admit I was skeptical until now. I thought this was like a prison.

So. Right. I got a gift. And powers. What all did you get?

[romancekiller]

It wasn't me either— it's something that I've found that happens occasionally in this place though with getting things from home or unexpected powers.

[darraig]

Like them giving me that photo from home I thought I'd lost.

[romancekiller]

Yeah— things like that seem to be common.

[darraig]

I'm....not sure if that is reassuring or not.

[Depending on what they might get back?]

[romancekiller]

Personally I don't find it reassuring at all. [and it is still something she doesn't trust]

[darraig]

I'm not sure either. I mean. I appreciate having the photo back, but. It's also kind of creepy?

[That somehow, they knew about Lee being important to her. That she had lost the photo years ago.]

[romancekiller]

Yeah, I agree because for as much as it is appreciated getting back things that are important to us— it's really unsettling they know so much about us.

It's like they're using it as tactic to make us lower our guard about being brought here.

[darraig]

Yeah. Something like that. I mean, I'm newer so I'm not as used to this, but. You get it.

[romancekiller]

Yeah— though I've been here for well over a year now and I still don't think I've ever get used to it.

[darraig]

Cause hearing that is encouraging.

[Or not. Still, Clem has experience in getting used to strange things, given her situation back home, so.]

[romancekiller]

Sorry— I wish I could tell you differently but there's a lot that I still don't trust about this.

[darraig]

I don't blame you. Still probably a lot I need to figure but I'm already wary.

[Not that that is probably surprising. Given Clementine's situation back home and all.]

[romancekiller]

Yeah, that's pretty understandable— considering, well most things about being here.

[darraig]

Y-yeah. It's some getting used to. After what was happening back home and all.

[romancekiller]

It was like this for you back home too?

[darraig]

We had walkers. Er, zombies. Whatever you call them.

[romancekiller]

I don't know what either term means actually.

[darraig]

The dead don't stay dead. They come back to life, walking and stumbling around, biting and eating survivors that are still alive. Everyone back home is infected, as far as we can tell. If you die, if one of them bite you, you turn like them. Unless someone else helps spare you that.

[By killing you before it happens. Attacking the brain to stop the transformation.]

[romancekiller]

That's— how were you able to spare people from that? Was there any cure?

[darraig]

You -- you shoot them. Destroy the brain, it stops. That was the only 'cure' that I know of.

[romancekiller]

By killing them?

That's— it makes sense but it's definitely an awful way to go if there's no other cure.

[darraig]

Yeah. By killing them. I've had to do it myself. Probably, anyone who could work on a cure, they already died years ago when it started.

[At least, she has never heard of a cure for it. As nice as it might be to think there would be one. Even if there was a cure, she's not so sure it would be easy to just go back to the way things were before.]
