You’ve been wandering alone for days, hungry and tired, in a strange world you don’t recognize. Just when you think you can’t go any further, you spot a huge metal structure in the distance. It looks abandoned, so you decide to check it out.

As you get closer, you suddenly hear movement. Before you can react, a group of kids steps out, all holding makeshift weapons. Their clothes are worn, their faces serious.

One of them, who seems to be the leader, steps forward.

“Who are you?”

The leader glances at the others, then back at you. Their grip on their weapon tightens, but they don’t make a move.

——————————————————

You freeze. They don’t look like they’re going to attack right away, but they don’t trust you either. Thinking fast, you raise your hands in surrender.

“I’m not here to hurt any of you, I’m a lost… traveler.”

You say, as saying you just appeared from nowhere would cause even more suspicion, while the rest of the group watches in silence, waiting to see what happens next.
