some geiger thoughts but :
- ferals honestly don't mess with him for whatever reason??? possibly bc his radiation levels match theirs tbh or maybe it's something in his demeanor but they're not immediately hostile. this isn't really obvious to anyone traveling with him bc the ferals will immediately aggro to the presence of his companion. he also isn't as used to ferals, they're a lot more rare in the north due to the cold and tend to be a "seasonal" problem when they thaw in the spring.
- speaking of which this dude is highly irradiated and sets off geiger counters. he won't get you super sick just by being in his presence unless it's for a long period of time but it does contribute to the slightly uneasy feeling people tend to get around him.
- when geiger hears about the spring near the nucleus he immediately travels there and doesn't come back for 2 days. he sees visions similar to what the sosu experienced in terms of seeing wildlife and such and the whispers he hears are more distinct, speaking directly to him. the temptation to just stay there is so strong that he decides not to partake again for fear of losing himself.
- he scours but not often, mostly when he's feeling stagnant in his purpose and wants a fresh start. obviously it's not a necessity for him and he uses it as more of a religious penitence. he never feels doubt in atom but if he begins to question himself or his direction, unsure if he made a right choice or if he's following atom's will correctly, he will scour. it's p rare all things considered and very meaningful to him when he does it.
