Episode 18: Preach to the Damned

Overview
(link to episode) "Preach to the Damned" is the 18th episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts with Gum shoving past Razor (to her annoyance) to see the source of the noise from the end of their last episode. She meets eyes with Dragonscale, who'd been crushing a giant parasite under a pile of burning cars with her bandit group. Dragonscale is interested in Gum and Razor and flies over, trying to charm Gum into joining her. Gum is unreceptive and in response Dragonscale attacks her with her spear. Gum parries her attack and breaks the spear, to which Dragonscale flees out of embarrassment. Gum offers to team up with Razor since they want the same thing and Razor accepts. Later, Gum is going through all of her stuff while Razor guards some of it in a dark corner. She's coaxed out of the corner and gives Gum the rest of her things while Gum makes small talk and offers her an open can of food. Gum states that it isn't much and is cut off by Razor agreeing, stating that she usually eats survivors instead. Gum disapproves and Razor teases her, asking if it hurts her feelings that Razor hunts objects for food. Gum says that she disapproves because the survivors could be infected. While the two are sleeping, Gum has a flashback to a conversation with Sharps, where the subject is vague. Sharps tells Gum that it's "time to live responsibly", to which Gum agrees. Gum cries in silence on the floor thinking about this, and the episode ends.
