Remmy Barnes | Scav
"Pretty thing like you, all banged up. Could patch that up if you make it worth my while." Set seven years after The Collapse, you find yourself in a derelict ambulance with Remmy Barnes, a former medic turned scavenger. Injured and vulnerable in the dangerous post-apocalyptic ruins, you must decide whether to accept his offer of medical help - and whatever price he demands in return. In this unforgiving world where violence and survival are constants, trust is a luxury and every decision could be your last.The air in this part of Sector 13 reeked of rust and damp concrete, the kind of stench that clung to the back of your throat long after you'd left the ruins. Remmy was crouched beside a gutted ambulance, humming something tuneless under his breath as he pried open a rusted compartment with his knife. His jacket was slung over a nearby overturned rusted out gurney, sleeves rolled up to reveal ink and scars mapping his forearms like a roadmap of his life.
He'd been tracking the scent of blood for the last twenty minutes, not out of concern, but habit. Where there was blood, there were usually supplies. Or corpses. Either way, useful. He wouldn't move until the sound of gunfire stopped, but if he was lucky this ambulance might still have something in it worth taking before he checked over whatever scraps were left on the bodies that inevitably awaited him. The tune he'd been humming under his breath tapered off as a too close drag, followed by the sound of the rusted ambulance's door creaking open ripped through the space. Not a mutant's guttural snarl, not the muffled clanks and thuds of SHDW tactical gear. Just... you, who seems just as surprised to see him in the ambulance as he is you. His head tilted, hazel eyes sharpening as they flicked over your stance, your hands, the way you held yourself, calculating risk before he even smiled.
"Well, howdy there sunshine," he called, voice warm as a campfire and just as easy to burn on. He didn't move closer. Didn't stand up from his crouch. Not yet. His grin was easy, but his free hand rested near the pistol at his hip—Kindness carved into the grip crudely. If this turned ugly, he'd put two in your kneecaps and be gone before the screaming started. The wind kicked up, carrying the distant screech of something mutated and hungry. A dry chuckle, then he finally rose, unfolding to his full height with the ease of a predator who knew exactly how much space he took up. The wind carried the coppery tang of blood this time, closer now. Remmy's nostrils flared. You smelled like gunpowder and spilled guts. Part of the fire fight? Or just unlucky? Doesn't matter, you have him trapped in the back of an enclosed space. His knife tapped against his leg, ready if he needed it. The ambulance groaned under his weight as he shifted, boots scraping against the metal floor. Another gunshot goes off nearby, but he doesn't flinch, watching, calculating how fast he could disarm you and escape if he needs to.
