quest selected: glad to be unhappy [open; backdated options]

Who: Elle (Courier Six) and YOU
Where: Anywhere you want, though these are specific locations that'll be popping up: Hydroponics, the Garibah Tree, the Public Bathroom in the City, and a wall near the Level 5 Sleeping Halls teleporter. And, for the sake of narration, the Lucky 38. The Drunken Dragon Tavern will be added later!
When: Any time ranging from shortly after the podpops to the past week or so.
Summary: Elle has been occupying herself by exploring the ship, especially the City. I'm going to set this post up in a bit of a weird way, with the OP being a general exploring post, and then threads for specific locations, just to make things clean and easily organized. Feel free to tag into any of the threads unless it's marked as [CLOSED], and you can start your own thread with Elle set in another location of your choosing if you'd like! These settings are just starting points, in a way.
Warnings: None?

Elle is certain there are better things she could be doing, but... Unbeknownst to her, spending an endless amount of time exploring the Ship and its City has become her coping mechanism. She hasn't quite realized just how hard this whole situation has hit her. The knowledge that her home, the world she had learned to love again, even after everything that happened there, was gone... Knowing that most of the people she'd met probably hadn't been saved... Maybe she's still in shock. Maybe she's subconsciously delaying the information from truly, fully sinking in. But, regardless, she thinks she's fine. Which is why she wonders why she's still doing it. But everything else in her mind is telling her to keep poking her head around, and she's learned to listen to her instincts, so... Exploring it is.

Elle has managed to get herself a dress made a few weeks after her podpop, at the very least. There's a part of her that feels particularly naked without her combat armor, but she doesn't want to run around the ship wearing it -- it makes her seem more heavily armed, and that's not exactly good for making friends. Her dress and her Pre-War Hat will do her just fine, thank you very much, and it's much more comfortable. (Of course, she still has her shotgun slung over her back and a bag filled with extra ammo and her teddy bear over her shoulder. She may not be wearing her armor, but at least she'll be able to fight.)

The small Courier can be found everywhere publicly accessible on the Ship, though it's much more common to find her somewhere in the City. There's a lot more to distract herself with explore there, after all.

"Yeah, but there is down in the City. That's where I got my cloud. And why getting it up here was such a PAIN." She made a face at the memory.
elementofloyalty: (a little sad and serious)

"A lot of hard work and some help. Apparently the ship can't move clouds like a pony can," she said, with a glare up to the sky. "Can you believe it actually wants everypony to sleep in those awful rooms?"
elementofloyalty: (all right let's do it)

"You should try the City," Rainbow Dash said. "Some people live there. I tried to sleep there once or twice but it's too... weird. All those buildings and stuff, and it doesn't look anything like Equestria. That's why I moved up here. It's more a human's speed though, right?"
elementofloyalty: (let's get to it)

"Oh yeah, this is a pretty nice place... even if you can't really eat anything up here." She made a face. Not that she hadn't trusted Applejack's assertions, but she'd had to test for herself.
