The sights of mutant creatures had long become normal, but the smell of the swamp on a hot day still punched him in the gut. He refused to use soil found in Tanglewood for gardening, and collected rain to water his plants. The polluted environment did not lend itself well to the maintenance of plants, but Selby made do.
The call of someone brought him to a particularly nasty corner of Tanglewood. Though Selby had lived here much of his life, he still avoided this area. Breathing subtly through his mouth to avoid the smell, he said, ”Hello. Not sure quite what happened, only that it did a long time ag-“ he cut himself off abruptly, seeing the creature’s form. A.... gator? A sentient gator. That shouldn’t be possible. The heat’s making the radiation worse? How’s that work?
Realizing he had been silent for several awkward moments, he attempted to complete his thoughts politely. ”I’m, er, Selby. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
