Who: Karl and YOU! YES YOU!
When: Day 5, Early Evening
Where: Apartment A
What: A new arrival...he seems friendly enough?

[For those who enter the apartment you'll find a very disoriented newcomer. He's sitting on the floor with a black bird on his head. He has only one arm, most of the other one is in his hand. He's staring at it before looking to his stump and back to the arm. He doesn't seem to be bleeding...somehow. He also has a hole in his chest, part of his head is broken, and he has holes in his leg and foot. But all just lead into black emptiness. And he has a smile on his face. Strange huh? Care to approach?]

I can't just hurry it up. This takes time and if we're weaker here it's going to take a much longer time I'm sure. You have to kill them if you want to keep us safe, Climber.

I'm not going to kill them just because you tell me to.

Why not? They'd kill you without a second thought. And they're just animals. It's our job to kill then, it's why we're here.

[Glances at the unconscious mosscats for a moment, unsure... Then slowly looks up at Karl, expression hard]

I'm not killing anyone.

Anyone. They're things. Are you going to disobey the Gods? That might not end well~

They're not things, they're alive. A-And I don't like lions, but they're still just... Doing what lions do.

Yet it was the Gods who told us to kill them and cut away the plants. Plants are alive too. You helped me kill them when we cut the moss off the wall. Killing is something you are going to have to do here.

W-Well, I don't want to! There's... There's no reason to right now.

Except they tried to kill you and will do it again when they wake up.

I can knock them out again, th-they'll still be out of it.

Well if you die, don't blame me~

I'm not going to!

[Hey remember that creepy black stuff from before? Suuuure is doing freaky stuff around my severed hand about now.]

[Was going to say something but then he sees it.]

Deary me...that's new.

Wha- [Looks down at his stump--]

No...

That doesn't look good. What is it?

[It is something I am freaking out about so much it takes a minute for me to register you're talking, glances up at Karl briefly and words fail, Climber opens and closes his mouth like a fish. No. No this isn't right. It left it left he saw it leave he watched the little girl in red cut it in half so why, why is this still here.]

What's wrong Climber? You look like you've seen a ghost.

I-It... [More of it is coming out of his shoulder he kept grabbing and a claw is forming for his missing hand and he's beginning to recognise that violent urge, that voice-- it's at that point he snaps out of it, grabbing his arm and forcing it to the ground.]

Stop it! Go away go away I don't need you!

[Karl finally says nothing and just watches. He doesn't need to say anymore at the moment.]

[GOOD. With enough focus he manages to will it away, the darkness fading. Okay good. So he can control it a little now, that's something. Climber sits there for a moment, trying to calm himself down and not get angry and think non-murderous thoughts. When he finally tries to get up, the feeling of the energy drain hits him and he winces] Nnngh...

Feeling tired?

[...fuck now I have to deal with you...]

I-I...

Now now, no need to be nervous. I'm not going to hurt you. You've protected me this far. I'm not going to do anything to you.

I-It... It's nothing, just... Just ignore it.
