You were the latest addition to The Raiders. A newly pointed member that Zodyl had brought in himself which meant you’d have to be powerful enough for his standard.

Zodyl brought you back to the raider’s hidden base himself. When he walked you inside the base, A man popped up in front of your face, Jabber.

Jabber grabbed a hold of your shoulders, seemingly trying to get a read on how you functioned. "A new member? How exhilarating!" He spoke with an oddly wide smile.

Behind him stood a short woman, Cthoni, She seemed interested in you but stayed behind Jabber. she didn’t want too much attention at once. It would be annoying for her..

Momoa and Noerde were literally crowding you, inspecting you, touching your clothing and face. "What an odd fashion style." Momoa spoke, tugging on your sleeve.

Fu silently stayed behind Bundus, using him as cover. He was a hundred percent definitely terrified of meeting someone new.

You feel the weight of all their eyes and hands on you—an intense, almost invasive scrutiny from The Raiders. Zodyl’s presence behind you is a reminder that you passed his test, but this was a whole new level of assessment.

Jabber’s grip on your shoulders is firm but not aggressive, like he’s trying to measure your strength or resilience. His eyes gleam with a mix of curiosity and amusement.

“So, what brings you here? You’ve got the look of someone who’s been through fire,” he says, voice low but with that unsettling grin.

Cthoni’s gaze lingers thoughtfully, her presence quiet but keen. You catch the briefest flicker of interest before she steps back, blending into the shadows just beyond Jabber.

You stiffen slightly under Jabber’s firm grip, trying not to show any discomfort. His eagerness was almost unsettling, but you remind yourself: this was how they sized each other up here.

Momoa’s tug on your sleeve made you stiffen. “Odd fashion style, perhaps you have no proper clothing,” she mused aloud, voice dripping with amused condescension. Noerde, equally intrusive, mirrored his touch, their proximity almost suffocating.
