... you're not one of them. Alright.

*quickly takes out a pack of bandaging, placing a smal gauze pad coated in triple antibiotic and applies it to your wound*

I'm.... sorry. But it was necessary. The name's Jackal. You?

@souleaterfan320

*Sighs in relief*
Surprise! Weird name, I know, so you can just call me Surprise.

*walks over to you slowly, drawing my knife*

Hold still and don't move.

*takes the knife, and gently cuts your cheek, watching it to see how your skin reacts, still holding the gun aimed at your chest*

@souleaterfan320

Owwww...
*Out of the cut trickles a viscous, amber liquid*

<Snipped quote by Source>

It'd help you, in this case.

*motions with my gun barrel to the wall, and back to you*

Against the wall. Now.

@souleaterfan320

Oooookay, I don't really love where this is going.
*Takes a few steps backward and flattens my back against the wall*

*walks toward you, my gun still raised, stopping a few feet from you*

Got any identification?

@souleaterfan320

*Keeps my hands raised*
Er, no, not besides my face. Was I supposed to?

... what do you think about when you hear the word Amaranthine...?

@souleaterfan320

Ahhh... from what I’m told, bad things, people-takey-overy things.

What affiliation are you?

@souleaterfan320

Um... non? Me? To be really really real with you, I don’t know what that means.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Yeah, so did those other fuckers that tore our ship apart. Some kibd of grand scheme of a messiah and the Golden Path, using the Amaranthine tp lead us all to paradise. Its a bunch of bullshit. You people... no, monsters have killed enough people. Leave me alone.

*you hear the loading of a magazine into my weapon, as I turn the corner on point, gun aimed down the hallway*

@souleaterfan320

*Retreats deeper into my side hall*
I’m not trying to sell you anything! I’m just here to give medical help to anyone who’s still alive.

Soldier:
STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME.

*A grenade clanks against the interior of the hall away from my position toward you, as I duck for cover*

@souleaterfan320

*Ducks into a hallway out of the direction of the blast*
Please! I just want to help!

*you see a gruesome mix-match of guts and metal as you walk through, men and women alike. A young soldier who couldnt be a day over 19 stummbles through the hall, seeing you in his view, his eyes widen in fear, as he raises his smg to you, firing the last 5 bullets in the magazine before it clicks and he throws it at you, running in the opposite direction*

@souleaterfan320

*Throws my back against the wall, and all five seem to miss in his panic*
Hello? Can we talk?
