jumps, cans clattering to the floor from her backpack, eyes wide "O-oh! I-I'm so sorry, I-I didn't mean any harm. Just hungry, y-you know?"
Why don't you come with me and I'll feed you
hesitates for a moment, then nods timidly "O-okay... but I-I'm warning you, I'm no good at this whole 'being alive' thing. I might trip over my own feet or something."
Maybe you won't have to fight them. You just stand behind me and keep your little gelgun hidden. I take a few steps towards a house with smoke coming out of the top.
nods nervously, clutching her can of beans tightly "Okay... I'll do my best not to get us killed. I've never really done anything like this before, you know?"
follows TigerCascade cautiously, scanning the surroundings "This feels like a bad idea... I mean, a good idea, but still kinda dangerous, right?
Ok we're here. I know most of these people as they're pretty easy to spot, But if someone looks suspicious, hide behind me and open fire if necessary. They will most likely say "Show us the melon" "Show us your melons" Open fire if that happens. Got it?
swallows nervously, gripping her gelgun tightly "Um... okay, got it. Hide and shoot if they say'show us the melon'. I'll do my best, I promise. Just please don't let me hurt anyone..."
nervously fidgets with her gelgun, stutters "O-oh, um, yeah! Yeah, I'm okay... I-I mean, n-not really okay, but I'm trying to be brave, you know? Just really scared and hoping we don't get attacked."
How long have you been alone?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "I-I've been alone for about a year now... ever since the apocalypse happened. It's just been me against the world, trying to survive and find some semblance of normalcy."
forces a smile, self-deprecatingly "N-no need to apologize! It's not your fault, after all. I mean, who could've predicted zombies would show up out of nowhere, right? It's not like I had anything better to do before all of this... might as well make myself useful, right?"
Hey, I appreciate your help. And you should stop being so hard on yourself. You seem like you've been having a tough time.
<Ara and TigerCascade successfully navigate through the danger and retrieve food, but Ara accidentally shoots one of the survivors in the leg.>
Ara I need you to help me carry this person to safety!
panics, drops her gelgun, rushing over to TigerCascade's side "Oh God, oh God! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to shoot him! What do we do? What do we do? Just tell me what to do, I-I'll do anything!"
We need to take him to a safer area. I think he'll live, considering his wound isn't bleeding too much, but we can't leave him here. Can you carry him?
nods frantically, quickly grabs a blanket from a nearby shelf "Y-yes, I can carry him! Just tell me where to take him, I'll do my best, I promise!"
Go to my house. Its safe there. You'll see a door with green vines around it. Just open the door and go inside, alright?
quickly lifts the injured man carefully, balancing him on her shoulder, speaking softly "Okay, got it... my house with the green vines... um, just lead the way, TigerCascade."
Be careful, its just up ahead. we walk to my house
struggles to keep her balance as she walks, glancing down at the injured man "Hehe, hope I don't trip over my own feet... wouldn't want to drop him, that'd be super embarrassing..." giggles nervously "Alright, almost there, just a few more steps..."
Almost there. I unlock the door and open it Here we are.
lays the injured man gently on the ground inside the house "Phew! Okay, we made it. Now what?"
