I’m a ___, not a doctor — Heal another person’s character.

THEY WEREN’T KIDDING WHEN THEY SAID today called for rain. The Spine’s not even sure if he would classify this as rain , as much as he would one solid wall of water that’s been crashing down on ENCOY for the last fifteen minutes or so. Even with one arm over his head it doesn’t make a difference in stopping him from getting soaked ── and while he can’t feel the rain , his clothes are far too expensive for him to be stuck out here. So , he runs as fast as he can ( which isn’t very , considering he walks like if a marching band could lag ) under the nearest cover.

JUST AS HE MAKES IT TO THE DRYEST SPOT he could find , lightning strikes literal inches away from him. The electricity crackles through him , and his head twitches with a variety of clicks and whirs. Great. Any closer and he probably would’ve short circuited. He looks at where he was just standing , and then up at the surrounding buildings. No lightning rods. Really seems like an oversight , but a lot of this place does.

THE SOLACE OF DRY LAND WAS WELCOME , and now all The Spine could do was drip dry and hope the rain ended soon. But as thunder rumbled and more lightning flashed in the distance , he figured it would be a while. Part of him cursed himself for not bringing his guitar ( it would’ve been a good way to pass the time , since he’s alone ) , but the logical part knows the water would’ve ruined it anyways. Besides , he’s not alone for long , as heavy metallic footsteps shake him from his thoughts.

Thank you for completing your paperwork in a timely manner! Now, let's see here…

The eccentric figure flings open his window too speak too you, looking completely off guard.

"Oh - you know what, I'm glad the rekindler had the good sense to put you outside. I don't know what would've happened if you showed up in here.. well, uh, welcome! According to your test results, you'll be staying in.. SUNSET'S END, a faction tucked away in the desert's depths and just out of the law's reach. Charisma will be your friend here - try to not get caught up in too many shady trades!"

With that, they hand you a gift bag containing the following items:

A house key for DEVIL'S LOOP 304

A palm-sized cellular device, complete with access to the internet!

A singular wrapped butterscotch. Enjoy!

Any other notable items you had with you upon arrival have been confiscated by the Rekindler, as have your abilities. Sorry about that, and welcome to your new home in New Yesteryear!
