Wilson:
He was the first person you met, and you better believe he was just as surprised as you. After being trapped in this place for... you weren't sure how long. It had been long enough for you to build a few tools, set a small patch of trees on fire, and get attacked by the shadows (which left a large gash in your arm). How ever long you'd been there, you were excited to see another person! You would've taken note of his odd hair, but you were a bit more preoccupied with the blood draining from the gash in your arm. The two of you made eye contact and he seemed hesitant at first, but when he saw you literally shaking from blood loss he seemed to change his mind. "Good Lord, are you okay?" he asks, hurrying to your side to find the source of the bleeding. "I-I..." was all you could sputter out. He gave a concerned look and said "Come with me back to the camp. We can clean you up and get you something to eat to regain your strength." Before you could respond, he took you by the arm that wasn't bleeding profusely and lead you supposedly towards his camp.

Willow:
As Wilson, he'd told you his name as he made sure you didn't pass out on the way to his camp, lead you up to the source of the smoke you'd been seeing rise above the trees, you saw a second person. Wilson called out "Willow! I need some help!" The person by the fire turned, saw you, and asked "What happened?" Wilson says "I was gathering firewood when I found them. It looks like the shadows got ahold of them." The woman, apparently named Willow, took your injured arm, causing you to wince. She hummed, then started rolling up your sleeve, only making you wince again. You're eyes began watering as you bit your lip to distract you from the pain, but once your sleeve was up it exposed the bloody mess, only the skin around the wound had turned black. You're eyes widened as you looked at it, and Willow said "Yeah, this definitely came from a shadow. We'll have to get them to Wickerbottom." Wilson nodded and said "I assumed." before noticing your panicked expression. "Don't worry, this won't take long to fix." as he studied the wound. Willow says "They'll need salve, I'll go get that" before she turns and heads towards a small group of chests. "We need to clean the blood off before anything else." Wilson continued as he started looking around for something to clean the wound with. He almost seemed startled when instead he saw two children.

(I won't normally write these two together)
Wendy and Webber:
You turned to see what had startled him, and there you saw a little girl and... what the hell?! You jumped back a bit when you saw a humanoid spider creature standing beside her. The girl tilted her head a bit and the spider creature asked, in a surprisingly small childlike voice, "Who is this?" Wilson looked at you and said "This is... stars I just realized I don't know your name!" You overheard Willow whisper "Stars?" You keep watching the spider child while you quietly say your name. Wilson nods and says "Webber, Wendy, this is [name]." Then he turns back to you and says "These are Wendy and Webber." You wave nervously and Webber smiles and waves back, while Wendy simply stares at you. You slowly turn back to Wilson, who was now digging through a chest. "Aha!" he cries as he pulls out a white cloth. He turns back to you and says "Here, we can clean it with this." as he holds one hand out for yours, which you give him. He takes one of the cloths and says "This is going to hurt." before he starts wiping away at the blood around the wound. He wasn't kidding either, the lightest pressure felt like you were being attacked all over again. The small spider child moves closer to you and asks "Are you hurt?" You laugh nervously and say "Yeah, I got a little hurt and Wilson found me." He asks "Can I help?" Every word he said made you less scared of him. Wilson said "Why don't you go tell Wickerbottom that we need her help." He nodded and said "Come on Wendy!" as he ran off to one of the other tents, the young girl following him. You whisper to Wilson "Was he..?" He nods and says "He was caught in an accident," You look at him, a shocked expression on your features. "What kind of accident?" He shakes his head and says "We don't really know what happened. He won't tell us the full story." You nod and look down, then back up, only to see a new person standing behind Wilson.

Wes:
You jump a bit when you see him, his sudden appearance startling you, and your jolt causes Wilson to bump your wound, causing you to wince. The new person gives an exaggerated worried look, then Wilson turns and says "Wes, you can't keep sneaking up on people." He gives an apologetic look to him, then looks back to you. Wilson says "Wes, this is [name]. [name], Wes." You give him a smile and he does an exaggerated 'At your Service' bow. "Alright." Wilson says "You're all cleaned up, we just need to get the residue (Idfk just go with it) out of your arm, then heal you." You nod, wondering what he meant by 'heal' but you didn't pay any mind to that.

Wickerbottom:
"Over here!" you hear Webber shouting from a distance. Soon enough, the two children return, followed by an old woman. Wilson turns and sees her, then says "Ah, Wickerbottom! We need your help!" She approaches, then sees your arms and says "Poor dear, the shadows did a number on you didn't they?" You stay still and quiet as she inspected you. "This should be an easy fix." she says as she sets down a small bag she was carrying and pulls a book from inside. She opens it, flips through for a moment, and says "Yes, here." She glances up to you then back down to her book and says "Stay still dear, this may sting a bit." You nod and she begins reading from the book. At first you were trying to figure out what she was saying, but then, like she said, the stinging ensued. Stinging was an understatement. It would have been more accurate to say "Stay still dear, this may feel like hellfire is being poured through your veins" You hiss slightly, but keep your composure as she continues. Eventually, she finishes reading and you let out the breath you didn't realize you'd been holding. She nods and says "There," in a calm manner. You look down to your arm, and sure enough the veiny black marks in your arms were gone. You smile and look up to her, then say "Thank you!" She smiles and nods "Of course, dear." as she closes her book and puts it back in her bag.

WX-78
Soon, Willow returns with the salve and another odd character in tow. She says "WX wanted to see the new person." as she hands the mixture to Wilson. He nods and takes it, then starts spreading it over your arm. Willow says "Here they are, WX." He turns and stares at you for a moment, before you wave awkwardly. "Uhm, hi." You say, finally getting a response of "Hello" from him. Willow says "[name], this is WX-78. WX, this is [name]." After another moment of awkward silence, Wilson finally said "Alright, you should be good now. Just don't put too much strain on it and you'll be healed in no time." Willow rolls her eyes and sits on a tree stump, then you ask "Have I met everyone?" Wickerbottom shakes her head no and says "There's one more." Wilson groans and says "Can't he wait? He's basically the cause of this." She shakes her head again and says "If they're going to stay with us they need to know everyone." You were a bit distracted from the actual topic by her saying you would stay with them, and as you tried to figure out why they were so quick to let you stay one final person crept into the group.

Maxwell:
You were suddenly snapped back to reality when the new fellow chimed "And who's this new survivor?" His arms crossed over his chest as he stood over you, significantly taller than the rest of the people around. He had a threatening aura about him and he had a chilling smile on his lips. Maxwell, this is [name]." Wilson said as he stepped between the two of you. You turned to look at the rest of the people, and they seemed unfazed by him for the most part. He leaned down a bit and said "What? I'd like to meet them too!" before looking at you, shoveling Wilson out of the way with ease, and saying "Now, what might your name be." You cleared your throat and tried to put on a calm, nonchalant face to match the others as you said "I'm assuming you're Maxwell?" He nods and says "The one and only." in a smug tone. You nod and look to Wilson, who seemed the least odd, then asked "Alright, is that everyone?" He nods and says "That's everyone."
