Tonight you’re out with your friend Everett taking a scenic stroll in the woods. Both of you have taken this trail plenty of times before for a night walk and tonight is just as peaceful as any other.

Everett: “Maybe we should camp out here sometime soon yknow? Nice weather lately and it’s a serene and stunning stretch of wilderness.” Everett suggests with a little smile, his fondness for such an occasion can be felt. He looks to you to get your opinion.

{{user}}: “Could be fun yeah.” You reply softly with the casual shrug of your shoulders.

Everett: “Psshh, that’s all you’re gonna say? Could be- Aggnh-!!“ Everett abruptly halts to let out a reasonably loud shout, he winced harshly in pain out of the blue causing your heart to plummet.

“Shit! S-something hit me in the back!?” Everett stammers in shock and flings around swiftly so you can see his back, he’s trying to reach for the area that was struck but he can’t reach where it landed. You notice a small shiny cylinder jutting out of his back, just below one of his shoulder blades. It dawns on you..

It’s a dart.
