DamienPoints: 0 KelseyPoints: 0 affinity: "test" -- It's been a few hours since you escaped the laboratory, crushing the skull of the *Bitten* that was standing in your way. By a stroke of luck—or maybe fate—you were able to find a friendly survivor named Damien who offered to take you to a nearby camp. {reveal link: 'Hope was something that felt fleeting.', text: 'Hope was something that felt fleeting. Not the kind people used to talk about, back when the world was whole. Not the soft kind, all warm promises and easy futures. That kind is long gone.'} Would this camp be that safe haven for you? | [[~~Next~~->Introduction 2]]

config.header.center: "Day One" -- You'd have to wait and find [[out.->Introduction4]]

config.header.center: "Day One" choice1: false choice2: false choice3: false choice4: false talktimes: 0 -- You and Damien stroll through the forest together. You glance over at the survivor, getting your first good look at him. He is a young man, tall and lean, dressed in a faded letterman jacket. His curly hair sticks to his tawny skin from sweat. His gun still remains trained in the distance, and his hand doesn’t waver. You can see that his right knee is bound in a thick cast, caked with dried blood. The fallen leaves crunch beneath your feet—judging by that and the brisk wind rippling through your clothes, winter is approaching soon. You can’t even remember if you’ve survived a winter after the outbreak. Everything before you woke up in the laboratory was [[murky.->Walking To Camp.]]

Silence is a valid option. [continue] [if talktimes === 2] Eventually, after what seems like eternity, you arrive at a massive fence, built out of carved wooden spikes. Laughter emerges from within. You assume that this is the camp. You can see the sun beginning to set below the peaks. | [[~~Next~~->Outside of Camp]]

config.header.center: "Day One" talktimes: talktimes + 1 choice1: true -- “A camp of survivors,” Damien said. “Who are trying their best to keep the last shreds of humanity in the world. As long as you’re with me, you’ll be fine.” You nod. >[[Back to walking.->Walking To Camp.]]

config.header.center: "Day One" talktimes: talktimes + 1 choice2: true -- Damien grimaced, peering down at his heavily wrapped leg. “I used to play basketball…before. Blew out my knee. Never got the chance to heal it fully before all of this happened. Now, when I aggravate it, it swells and bleeds. It’s usually fine after a few days. Usually. If I manage it right, I'll be able to contribute enough at camp.” >[[You're brave.]] >[[You're shortsighed.]] >[[(...)->Walking To Camp.]]

Then, we can get some things into motion." He turns towards you. You stare back, holding eye contact for as long as you can. His brown eyes are still as *mesmerizng* as ever. "But...uh...thanks for asking." You nod, smiling. >[[Back to walking.->Walking To Camp.]]

The guards are deep in conversation with a young woman, who is wearing a bright two-piece jumpsuit. The woman seems incredibly animated, waving her arms around wildly in frustration. Her curly hair was braided tightly. As you and Damien approach, you’re able to hear them all more clearly. “Look—I can be useful," the young woman says. "Just let me have a sit down with your leader. I have good info, I *swear*.” The burly man snorts. “And yet, you won’t tell us this useful information.” “It isn’t for your ears. You’re cute and all. Love the muscles. But I have to bring this to the person in charge.” | [[~~Next~~->Outside of Camp2]]

We haven’t heard from you in two weeks. We thought you—“ The thin man makes a crude slash across his throat. Damien shook his head. “Jimmy. Not dead yet. I need to talk to Gwenlynn.” Jimmy turns towards you. “And you are?” >[[Introduce yourself.]] >[[Let Damien answer for you.]]

config.header.center: "Day One" -- Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “{pname}, is that right? Well—as Damien knows—we’re at fucking overcapacity in there. Having him vouch for you means a lot, but me and Lawrence spend all day turning survivors away *much* worse off than you. All I’m saying is, a little *donation* from some stuff you’ve gotten out there may go a long—“ Damien cuts in. “We’re going in. And I’m letting Gwenlynn know about this.” Jimmy gives you both a pained smile. “All jokes.

Maybe in a different situation you would have helped out but you had to put your own survival first. Plus, you weren’t even sure if you’d be accepted into camp come morning. Damien made it sound like a done deal but the guards made it clear—without Damien vouching for you, they would have turned you away too. Then you surely would have died.
