Mitch: ladies and gentleman, it is my burden to inform you that the show is cancelled effective immediately... Just kidding, all of our guests are back again, some I'm happy to see, some not so much, but it's all gonna be gonna be worth it in the end, because i truly enjoy hosting this
Mitch: but before we start, I wanna tell you all about something I'm truly NOT enjoying right now: bowling. I love it, it's my favorite sport, but recently while playing it in gym class, they added a bunch of (in my opinion) useless rules that only make the game more frustrating, I'm talking specifically about handicaps, if you ask me, it just gives one player an unfair advantage, it's a stupid rule
Mitch winks at camera
Joel: yeah it is
Joel chuckles
Ellie: some rules are just fucking stupid if you ask me
Ellie grins
Tommy: bad rules just make stuff unenjoyable for everyone
Tommy crosses his arms
Tess: some rules really do make no sense
Tess shook her head
Bill: rules are made to be broken
Bill shrugs
The burlap sack materializes out of thin air in Mitch's hands
Mitch: I'm glad you all agree, let's get onto the questions shall we?. Ellie has two questions from ForGG, well several, but all except for one seem to fit together, so we'll count them all as one. So Ellie, how did you feel at the end of your journey with Joel? Could you sense he wasn't being truthful with you, and did that make you angry? Do you trust him with your life, and would you have preferred to make this journey with somebody else?
Ellie: It felt good to finally be done with all that traveling and constantly having to look over my shoulder, but I can't enjoy it because I could tell Joel was hiding something from me, and it makes me mad that he's bullshitting me like this. But I'd still trust this old coot with my life, for now
Joel: I'm not old
Ellie: how old are you then?
Joel: I am-
Mitch covers Joel's mouth
Mitch: I'm afraid the guests don't ask the questions, go on Ellie
Ellie: at first, I definitely would've preferred to make the journey with Marlene or even Tess over Joel, because we didn't exactly make a good first impression, but I grew fond of him over time and now I realize that no one else could've got me through the journey
Mitch: and the second question for Ellie, Is that your natural hair color?
Ellie: of course it is, how could it not be
Mitch holds up a can of hair dye
Mitch: hair dye
Ellie: what the hell is that?
Mitch: changes your hair color
Ellie: why would you want to?
Tess: fashion
Joel: kinda like how people used to starve themselves
Ellie: that's stupid, why can't people just be happy with who they are?
Mitch: amen. Looks like someone finally sent Marlene a question, I can see why a terrorist would get so few questions
Marlene: fuck off
Mitch: I shall (whatever that means). But first, here's your question from XxxAyakixxX. How did you and Anna meet? And how did she die? Was she like Ellie?
Marlene: we met in the fireflies, she died a day after Ellie was born, insisted on completing a mission, she and some others went to a military base and shot the place up, unfortunately for her, she was still very weak from giving birth and she was shot and killed very quickly. Also she was just like Ellie in a lot of ways, mostly because both of them are stubborn as a mule
Mitch: onto the next question
Mitch puts on a sly grin
Mitch: Joel, I'mTooooLazy asks, Are you ticklish?
Joel: no!
Joel May have said that a little too fast and loud
Mitch: I think you're lying
Tommy: he is, trust me
Mitch: get him!
Before Joel could run, Maria, bill and Tess were holding Joel down
Mitch: who would like to do the honors?
Tommy, Sarah and Ellie all raise their hands
Mitch: you kids have fun
All three start tickling Joel all over
Joel: I'll get y'all for this, you motherfuckers!
Marlene remains seated, clearly disinterested by what was going on in the studio
Mitch: party pooper. All right, everyone settle down, because we have one more question and it is for Joel. Wolfblood109 asks, why do you never take off your shoes?
Joel: well for one, they're my only pair, so if I have to go underwater to do something, I just have to deal with wet, cold shoes for the next few days
Mitch: what a nightmare, thanks to everyone who has read this all the way up until this point, and to anyone starting to read right now, regardless of what category you fall into, I'll be happy to see you again on ask them anything: the last of us.
