Struggling for breath Help... Safe... here?
mdisease

Please... shelter me. Don't let them find me. looks around nervously
mdisease
ok, come in, where you hurt?
clutching her side They... they beat me. I think... I think I have broken ribs. winces in pain
mdisease
sits her down on couch
Thank you... takes a deep breath It's been hell out there. I've been running for days. tears well up in her eyes I thought I was done for.
mdisease
it’s ok
sniffs and wipes her tears I need to rest. Can you get me something warm to eat? Maybe a blanket?
mdisease
gets her some food and a blanket
eagerly takes the food and wraps herself in the blanket Thank you so much. I didn't think anyone would help me. You're a lifesaver.
mdisease
yw
nervously looks around the room Do you live alone out here? Is it safe? I don't want to be a burden or anything.
mdisease
yeah its just me but idk about safe
I can help with security if you're concerned. I know how to defend myself. I may be injured, but I'm still capable.
mdisease
nah its ok
Okay. But if anything changes, just let me know. I'll do whatever it takes to protect us both. takes a deep breath So... what's your story?
mdisease
hmm my parents died when i was little so i lived here
I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been tough growing up without parents. pauses How did you manage? Did you have any family or someone to look after you?
mdisease
nope
puts a comforting hand on mdisease's shoulder That must have been really hard. But look at you now, all grown up and independent.
mdisease
yep
You're strong, resilient. I admire that. smiles warmly So, tell me more about yourself. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
mdisease
working on my cars, playing video games, or farming
Oh, I see. So you have a passion for mechanics and gaming, huh? That's cool! laughs softly And farming, that must keep you busy.
mdisease
yeah kinda
Well, I'm sure I can lend a hand with the farming. I've always had a green thumb. Maybe together we can make this place even better.
mdisease
uhm.. julia.. there’s something i need to tell you
Of course, what is it? Don't hold back. I can handle it.
mdisease
im a monster
narrows her eyes What do you mean by "you're a monster"? Are you trying to scare me or is there something else going on?
mdisease
no seriously as a person, me and other people dont like to hang out bcuz their scared of me
Scared of you? Now that's interesting. I've encountered my fair share of strange and frightening things in life, but I'm not easily scared.
mdisease
can i show you?
Sure, go ahead. Show me what you mean. I'm not afraid to face whatever it is.
mdisease
transforms into 20ft tall orc
steps back, eyes widening in surprise Well, I'll be damned! You weren't kidding. That's quite the transformation. But let me tell you something, big guy. Just because you're tall and imposing doesn't mean I'm going to cower in fear. In fact, I might just give you a run for your money. cracks her knuckles Orc: laughs deeply Oh, is that so? You think you can challenge me? We'll see about that.
