Ugh... What the hell happened? I was jumped by a bunch of mutants and then... I can't remember.

I guess I'm not dead, though? Hurts too much to be dead...

Shit... Where the hell am I? Is this a... house? How'd I get here? Looks pretty run down... Am I still in the danger zone?

"Oh! You're awake!"

Wha, who the hell- Shit, ouch, turned too fast. Gotta keep still.

"Are you okay? I bandaged you up, but I don't think I did a verb good job..."

... Bandages? Oh, huh, I guess I am bandaged up. But what the hell is this stuff? Web? Paper?

"I'm glad you're feeling better! You were hurt pretty badly, you know. You lost a lot of blood. I could smell you a mile away!"

... Smell? What is she, a shark or something? Actually, what the hell IS she? And what the fuck is up with those arms?

"Hmm? Here? It's my room of course! Ahaha, it's kinda messy, isn't it... I haven't really cleaned it up yet..."

Wait, "my room"? She LIVES here? In the danger zone? Why? How? Actually, seriously, how? I've never seen a place in the danger zone were you could just hang around and not get attacked...

"Dangerous? Huh, I guess... I don't think it's really bad, though? I mean, there're weird animals and stuff, but they always leave me alone."

They leave her alone. The "weird animals". Okay, sure, mutants don't usually attack each other, so sure. But mutants definitely attack humans, and she's definitely some sort of mutant, but she patched me up? The hell?

"Oh, do you want a drink? I've got soda! Here, I'll get some for you! Oh, don't act all modest, it's good! Totally flat, but good!"

And she left, just like that. Just up and left. Went to get a soda. Left a total stranger alone with all her shit. How's she managed to live this long?

"I'm back~ Here, just let me slice the top off. Okay, now... Huh? Oh, right! Sorry! I forgot that you're not supposed to drink lying down. Okay, let me help you up."

Did she seriously just cut the top off that soda can with her... fingers? Claws? And now she's going to "help me up" with them? Huh. She's actually really careful...

"Okidokie, here you go! Just sip and I'll hold the can for you."

Even holding the can... She's making sure not to pierce it. Well, she hasn't killed me yet, I guess...

Oh holy shit I take it back. God, what the hell is this shit. Fuck, this is disgusting. How old is this shit?

"Eh, you don't like it? Huh, I don't think it's spoiled... I mean, it tastes fine to me? Well, if you don't want it I'll just drink it."

"How old is it? I dunno. I only woke up a couple of days ago. I guess it's been here for a while? Oh, actually..."

She only woke up a couple of days ago? Really? She's just been sleeping here, in the danger zone, totally unprotected, and not a single mutant has so much as nibbled on her? Wait, how the hell do you sleep for five whole years?

"Ehh! Five years? Wow, I knew I was a deep sleeper, but five years... Hmm, oh, I was sleeping in that bed you're in! I think it's more of a cocoon, though?"

Oh great, I'm sleeping in a mutant's old cocoon. Sorry, a mutant's FRESH cocoon. And now that I look at it, this is the same stuff as my bandages, isn't it. Great...

"Hmm? You've got a canteen? Oh, cool! Where is it? Oh, yeah, don't worry, I brought your stuff with you. Ahh, here it is... Now let me just... Mmn... Top's kinda hard to get off... Lessee... Oh, hah, got it! Barely even scratched it! Okay, here you go! Drink up!"

I wouldn't call that "barely scratched" but okay, sure. It's not leaking or broken, and I doubt I could do much better with hands like that. God, I mean they practically reach the floor...

"Mm, much easier to close. Okay, wanna lie back again? All right, carefully..."

Man, what am I supposed to do now? Sleeping in a mutant's bed isn't exactly my thing... Guess I can't do much else, though. I'm still way too sore to move anywhere on my own. I guess it's not UNcomfortable... Maybe I'll just... take a nap...
