{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}PLOT: Elinor Sharpe is a new recruit for the svu squad...some of the detectives feel that her delicate appearence will affect her ability to do the job.
******************************
Ellie gave herself another look over in the mirror in the corridor. She was nervous about being placed in a new department, but was determined not to let it show. This was the Special Victims Unit, no time for being shy, looking at her reflection she sighed deeply running a hand through her long locks.
"Here we go Sharpe"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna looked across the crowded room and dashed to the door, seeing a young girl preening in the mirror. She walked over to her, seeing that she looked a little more than lost. "Hey, are you OK?"

{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}Ellie jumped at the detective's voice.
"Oh, um, yeah....I'm good thanks. Um I'm Elinor.....Ellie please.....I'm new - ish here"
She was babbling, great start.

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna grinned and shook the girls hand. "Hi, I'm Anna. I guess I'm not the newbie anymore! Were you transferred, or are you new to this?" Anna babbled back to Ellie as good as she gave, and led her towards the box of donuts sat on Anna's desk.

{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}Ellie smiled as she felt the warmth coming from the detectives hand shake.....*okay feeling a little better* As she saw the donuts on the desk she made a note not to let herself feel too nauseous at a new job.
"Well a bit of both really haha. I went to university in England quite late in life to study sex crimes and American law. I was working the special vics unit over there before being transferred here. It's a lot different over there let me tell you"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Grinning, Anna handed Ellie the box. "Seriously, you havn't noticed the accent? I'm English born and bred. Although this here was my first detective job." Anna shrugged and picked out a donut. "It's nice to have another person I can talk to and who might understand me when I get going!"

{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}"Oh my god sorry haha, I'm rude. Well at least that makes both of us. I'm glad I'll have someone to help me on my way. How long have you been here then?"
Ellie took the donuts and retreived one for herself

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}"Not long. Long enough to know how it works around here. I think I'm going on four months now. It's the best and the worst job I've ever had. As soon as everyone gets here I'll introduce you to them." She said scoffing on the donut. "In the meantime, how about some coffee?"

{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}"Are you joking? I could kill for some right now"
Ellie waited while Anne went to get her the coffee. It gave her time to have a quick look around the room. I was not much different from the one she had in England, except the walls and desks were cluttered with stuff. Case files, photos, account details, all things you would find in a squad room and looked just like the ones on the tv. Looking around, Ellie caught sight of a picture on Anna's desk.
"you ride horses?"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna handed a cup of coffee to Ellie and smiled. "Yeah when I can. It was one of the only damn things that my parents ever approved of. That's me with Bubbles at a show jumping competition. He's back in England so I don't see him much. Do you ride?" She smiled to herself, maybe she had more in common with this newbie than she had expected.

{name:Ellie#|#picture:45}"Thanks," Ellie said taking the coffee from Anna. "I did, was pretty good at it actually, her name was crumpet. She had a gorgeous white coat with little blobs of caramel on it. She was a 4th birthday present. Best thing my parents gave me."
Ellie took a long drink from her coffee and waited for the steaming liquid to flow down her throat, maybe to help with the lump that was there.
"Circumstances weren't good though, never ridden since"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}Anna sighed, the girl was obviously still extremely nervous. She pulled out her chair and offered it to Ellie. "Well, maybe we should get you back into the saddle. Jess and Olivia go out after work, and we go for dinner every once in a while, but it's good to get it all off your chest. I've got a few horses uptown. you should join me."

{name:Elinor#|#picture:45}Ellie looked the woman over, a sense of relief washing over her. Maybe starting a new wasnt so bad, she already had made a friend in the first 10 minutes of being here.
"I would like that, thanks and thanks for this." She said as she placed the empty mug down on the desk.
"So when will I be meeting the rest of you?"

{name:Anna#|#picture:41}"Well, you're lucky that I got here earlier to catch up on paperwork! They should be here soon I imagine." She put her arm around Ellie. "Don't worry though, they are all lovely guys. Top up?"
