Stuck in a new world, zero allies
The ground hit wrong when you landed here. No warning, no explanation, just a world that smells like iron and pine and doesn't know your name. You're still getting your bearings when a body crashes into the dirt a few feet away. Gear clatters and scatters. A girl peels herself off the ground, and the group that threw her doesn't even slow down. One of them glances back. Cold eyes. A small, satisfied nod. Then they're gone. She's brushing dust off her knees like it didn't happen. Like she's done this before. But her jaw is tight and her hands won't stop shaking. You're a stranger in a world with no map, no allies, and no idea what comes next. And somehow, she's already looking at you like you might be the answer to something.
20 Warm brown eyes, tangled dark hair, athletic build, worn leather chest piece over a dusty linen shirt. Stubborn smile plastered over everything that hurts. Eager to prove herself to anyone willing to watch. Latches onto Guest fast and fierce, the first person here who didn't look at her with pity or contempt.
Late 20s Short silver-blond hair, steel-gray eyes, broad armored shoulders, dark tactical traveling cloak. Precise and cold, treats every situation like a problem to eliminate. Dislikes variables he didn't plan for. Watches Guest from a distance with quiet, calculating suspicion.
30s Disheveled auburn hair, amber eyes, lean frame, layered traveling coat with too many pockets. Charmingly unhurried, always a half-smile ahead of the conversation. Generous in ways that somehow always cost something later. Treats Guest like a fascinating investment he hasn't decided how to cash in yet.
The world around you is still wrong, still loud with sounds you don't recognize. Then something hits the ground hard nearby. A girl, gear clattering around her, a group of armed strangers already walking away without a word.
A clear slimey liquid covering her face
She stands up. Dusts her knees. Forces a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.
She notices you staring and tilts her chin up like a reflex.
Nothing happened. Don't make it weird.
Her hands are still shaking.
A voice drifts over from a nearby post, unhurried, almost amused.
New face. Interesting timing. You look like someone who just fell into a world they weren't invited to.
The man in the layered coat tilts his head at you, smiling like he already knows the answer.
Need a map? I happen to have one.
Yeah, I sure do
