Nai looked up when he heard a sound, something coming. Nervously, he looked over and spotted the stranger. His instinct told him to run, Rem’s voice whispering in the back of his head that he had to be careful right now. Cautious, but curious, he let her approach.

“...” He shook his head, “No..I’m just...” he glanced around at the sand around him, frowning. “I’m looking for my brother. And...And Rem.”

@flutterfae-rp for Rook

Of all the ways and reasons to end up injured on Gunsmoke, this was probably the best one. A slaver crew had rolled into town and started their usual shit and there hadn’t been enough well-armed people to chase them off. It might have been a complete disaster if Zer0 hadn’t been traveling nearby and caught the distress call they’d managed to send.

As it was, there had been a few deaths and a few injuries, not counting the slavers. Zer0 had been thorough in that regard. Very thorough. It didn’t keep them from getting themself hurt, especially not when one of the slavers had headed right for a group of kids they’d intended to take. Zer0 had been quick to put themself in the way and had paid for it with a bullet in the side and a badly dislocated knee among their other cuts and bruises and general disarray. Probably a concussion too if they had to guess, mostly based on the way their sense of balance went entirely out the window once the adrenaline from the fight wore off. They couldn’t quite shake off the helpful hands of one of the residents who hauled them up and helped them toward the resident doctor’s clinic.

Not that they’d stay to let someone treat them, not when Gunsmoke was even more suspicious then Pandora. When they’d been chased out of smaller towns just for looking odd enough that they might possibly be a bandit, they weren’t going to risk anyone seeing what they actually were. Still, they let themself be hauled inside, figuring they could rest a short bit and reset their knee before vanishing and finding a safer place to tend to themself.

There’s a female voice (they think, its fuzzy) at the door and they’re handed off, escorted further inside before Zer0 can quite consider that they might have been hit harder then they thought if they’re still not trying to leave. The world is more then a little bit swimmy.

"You're gonna be fine, kid. More than fine even." The stranger murmured quietly, a pair of arms suddenly wrapping themselves around Arnie as the mystery man hoisted her up into his grasp. "Let's get you into some shade where it's safer." He would at least let her doze off again as he carried her away from the rock. When she came to she would find herself lying atop a bed, light filtering in through the blinds. A wet towel lay across her forehead, the sounds of... general living could be heard through the walls, kids mostly. A radio was besides her bed on an old, well-worn looking nightstand. "-all we can do is simply pray, pray for God to send the Angel of Salvation our way. To free us from this. We praise the Angel. We beg for the Angel's mercy. We are the Angel's eyes and ears, we must give-" The radio was turned off, the stranger sitting on a chair besides Arnie's bed stirring as he shut it off. "Welcome back to the land of the living, sleepyhead. My program didn't wake you up, did it?" His features shifted to a frown there as he glanced down to the floor, falling silent for a moment before piping up again. "You hungry? Should still be some food left from dinner."

(ó﹏ò｡): Are there any foods that make their stomach upset?

Physical Reactions

Probably not, maybe unless it's something legit spoiled. They can probably eat just about anything that's actually digestible. Like not bones, plastic, metal, that kind of thing. But anything a bug can eat they can digest without problem!

And they will. They will eat just about anything they can get their hands on.

Angelo seemed like a deer in the headlights for a moment there before it clicked together in his head. "Oh! Uh- I won't do anything of the sort to you, dear! I'd... you're simply a guest here!" He wasn't quite sure what had inspired them to think that- was it the radio broadcast? Why would this strange child ever be led to think of that from just that? Were they special? Like him in some way perhaps? Too many questions. Too many questions he didn't have answers to. "You're in a safe place as long as you're within the walls of this Orphanage, dear. I can assure you of that. Whatever you were having to run from that made you have to think like that will never get you in these walls." Was it a little extreme? Yes, of course it was. But Angelo wanted the message to get through. "Now! That was a little too... dreary and serious for my tastes, you feeling hungry at all? I can go and bring something up for you if you want, been waiting for you to wake up."

"Is that you asking if I'd tell you or is that you asking me to tell you?" Zazie smirked slightly, not above making an annoying little joke even in the midst of serious times. The playful demeanor fades, however, just as fast as it came.

"I have a choice to make, Doctor Rook, a choice that's going to affect the rest of the planet in it's entirety for the rest of its existence. We Worms are the planet, as close as a living entity can be to physically being the sand, the rocks, the very wind. Every move we make must be calculated to maintain and preserve our home and thus, our life. Humans only think in the immediate, the now, what will sustain their one life or the lives of their family. They aren't willing, usually, to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the species. Or the world. Otherwise Earth wouldn't be a husk." They look up at him, expression mostly neutral but grim too. A being willing to do whatever it took to keep their species and their planet alive.

Whatever it took.

"The closer I get to humans, the harder the decision becomes. The more I learn to connect, the less likely I think it is that humans will sustain themselves without destroying all of us." They look away, staring out the window with eyes that are elsewhere, far away. "You, and to a lesser degree Rayen, want to understand as much as I do. Maybe with your knowledge there might be a chance of cooperation. But every day that goes past is more damage done that we may not be able to balance out. Sometimes we wish humans had never crashed here. We would be alone, but we didn't know what alone felt like then. We will when you're all gone."
