(CW!!! Attempted Rape, Toxic Ex, Intense Violence and Gore!!)

[The scene opens to The Outlanders' ship docking at a new town, Turnia.]

Skar: Well, I never expected to ever come back here...

Ada: Why's that Captain?

Skar: Ehh, just never really wanted to come back, too many dangerous people.

Maire: Did you grow up here?

Skar: Aye, everyone knows me and I know everyone.

Benno: Seems like a small town.

Skar: There's more people than houses, trust me on this, never walk out on your own, there's specifically a few individuals that will cause you trouble.

Benno: Uhhhh, Captain?

[Skar continues to stare blankly into a seemingly random alleyway, filled with garbage and other grime, moss covering the brick walls, and who knows what else is in there.]

Benno: Captain?

Skar: Ah! Yes?

Benno: Where do we go looking first?

Skar: Uh, I say we look at the far side of town, it has maps and a job board for the least fortunate...

Levi: Oddly specific there Captain...

Skar: Pay it no mind.

[The Outlanders walk down the cobbled streets, eventually making it to the part of town where Skar said was the best to look first.]

Benno: Why exactly is this the best place to look, Captain?

Skar: That's an easy question! *chuckles*

[The Outlanders look at him with concern]

Benno: Then answer it.

[Skar stops his laughs and looks nervously to the job board, an alleyway, and a church, which the bell rings, signaling the next hour.]

Skar: *sighs* Alright...

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked by: Cage the Elephant

[The scene shows a younger Skar, walking down the street, he seems to be around the age of 15, when a young girl, who is seemingly the age of 13, wearing skimpy clothes, makeup, and walking in heels that she is obviously unable to walk straight in, walks out of an alley.]

Skar: I was walkin' down the street, when out the corner of my eye, I saw this pretty little thing approaching me. She said:

[As she speaks, she is slowly trying her best to seduce Skar, albeit badly, but for a young Skar, being a teenager dealing with hormones, it only partially works, but Skar doesn't want to take advantage of someone so young doing something like this to make ends meet.]

???(hesitantly): I've never seen a man, who looks so all alone, uh... could you use a little company? If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice and you can go and send me on my way...

Skar: I said, "You're such a sweet young thing, why'd you do this to yourself?" She looked at me, and this is what she said:

???: Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees, I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed. There ain't nothing in this world for free.
