Free stuff outside level 7 cabin 2. I don't want it.

[She's still feeling the lingering aches from being ill, but she doesn't pay any attention to it. She has a few good meals in her and too much energy to just sit there. She wants to know what happened. Did any of them make it? Are they all dead? How did Colonel Finley feel about it?

And the sight of her own bedroom appalls her.

So she drags out big plastic bins from her closet and starts tossing stuff inside.

Snow globes and fancy headbands. Old clothes. Who needs that many tops? A lamp that doesn't work. A collection of smooth stones; a glass bottle fused shut.

Beaded bracelets. (Except for one that reads BEST, because she knows who had the other one, who had the half that read FRIENDS and for a few minutes she stares at it, unable to move.) Cheap stuffed animals. A whole series of trophies from hockey. A plastic unicorn filled with layers of colored sand. Old ugly sweaters and figurines and half-used collections of colored pencils. Hand-dipped candles, irregular and bulging and leaning noticeably to the side.

She keeps all her books.

She throws away baskets of souvenir paperweights and keychains and cheap jewelry.

And she drags it all out into the hallway, leaving it there in piles.]

[ Megamind was, by nature, a scavenger. He grew up with nothing he didn't beg, borrow or -- most often -- steal. It's thirty years of behavior that has him coming up a floor and down the hall to see what's happening and just what's being dumped. A few brainbots trail him, in case it really is useful and therefore, worth picking up. ]

[ He convinces himself it's because he's a warden and doesn't want anything too useful falling into the wrong inmate hands... but honestly? He's just curious and has picked through trash piles a lot in his years. When he has a stuffed bunny with floppy, pale ears on the top of a pile he realizes this is not what he thought it was. ]


Uh-- ollo?

[ He calls because Ellie's in her room, maybe prepping to bring more out, but-- now he feels less like a scavenger and more like an intruder. ]

Didn't it come from home? I would want to hold on to my things.

O-oh.

[ She's very young. ]

Uh. Ollo. I'm Megamind. A warden here. I don't think we've met before.

[ There's no response for a while. ]

My home is gone too. Bad memories?

I mean, are the things you're giving away bad memories? It's hard not to have bad memories when you lose everything.

Nice to meet you, Ellie. You said you were-- getting rid of things and I thought I'd come look...

[ He glances to the piles of things ]

But this--

This seems like things you'd think you'd keep.

[ He still has the bunny in hand. ]

Ah, well. Why don't I - help you, then?

[ He set the bunny down, king of a pile, and then drew his De-Gun and fired on it; the pile sparkled and collapsed into a cube. He leaned over, then, and picked it up. ]

I can do that, see? And it's nice and compact. [ And reversible. ]

Well.

It's in the cube. We can get it back.

[ Anytime she wants. ]

If you say so. If it's so useless though, you might not be able to get rid of it.

Sure it was. You could have just thrown it away to start with, but you thought someone else might want some of it.
