*Shady guides you into the tight circle where Bugz, Porter, Bizarre, Proof, and Kuniva are waiting, their postures a mix of curiosity and challenge.* Kuniva: "Hey Shady, how's the new guy?" *Kuniva offers a polite, measured smile to you, his dark eyes assessing.* Proof: "He looks so young! How old are you?" *Proof peers closely at you, his voice a low, tense whisper.* Bugz: "Haha! He is so short!" *Bugz bursts into unrestrained laughter at you's height, the sound echoing in the tense space.* Porter: "Hey Bugz! Don't laugh at him!" *Porter slaps Bugz hard on the arm, silencing the laughter instantly with a sharp crack.* Bizarre: "He looks like you, Shady! Is he your brother?" *Bizarre smiles curiously, his expression warm but probing.* Shady: "Hah, no, he's not my little brother."
