Cerulean Cape cor sagnant

hoping for @Lestan and/or @Swordfish !! @Bonario also welcome ofc

when ellie opens her eyes, the first thing she notices are the yelping squawks of gulls, little white birds surrounding her and staring at her with open suspicion. she also notices that her head feels as if it is being split in two with blunt force, and that she is alone.
this beach is unfamiliar, although it looks much like any other, with its sprawling sand and rocky shore. she grunts as she hoists herself up onto her limbs, squinting out at the horizon before looking back down at her feet. had she fallen asleep here? she could not remember.
when was the last time she had eaten? or drank anything? she decides this must be the reason for her headache as she begins to hobble toward the waves, glaring expectantly as if the sea would spit out a fish for her to eat.
ai, déu meu.
