O.1.9

You manage to follow their pattern of speech. Their noises. They are wary of you. They tolerate you, but do not welcome you. One of them grabs a worm from the ground and punctures it with a large needle. The worm is blackened and corrupted. It squirms until the poison locks its body still.

They throw it toward you. One long arm twists in your direction.
