(That would be correct; I'm new.
(Writing sample: Earl paused for a moment. "Wait…where's my…Rachel, where's my screwdriver?" Rachel popped out from the kitchen. "I don't know. Why do you need it?"
Earl showed her his new pistol "My gun's going to blow up if I don't have it." )
(Is that good?)

(Yeah, that works! As for getting your character in, our characters are now at a survivor outpost, so he might wind up there somehow.)
(Yeah!)
Tohru gave a bit of pause.
"Good god, Mori, you haven't just been eating whatever berries and mushrooms you can find, have you?" He asked, a bit alarmed.
Tohru slowly started to get up.
"Anyway, I'm going to check, make sure the area is clear enough, and we can get going when everyone is ready."
"Well, yeah…" Mori replied quietly, fidgeting a bit with his hands. "Like I said, most of them don't make me throw up, so it's fine, right?" He shrugged a bit, reluctantly getting out of Tohru's lap.
"I- um… well… some can make you very sick or even kill you," Tohru replied, "but you can learn to tell which ones are okay to eat."
He found himself shuddering a bit. This poor kid could've died like that…
(I know the perfect way to introduce him-)
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" Earl ran out from a tent, being chased by a very angry chihuahua. "NOW CALL YOUR DOG OFF!"
(Chaos is always the best way to introduce someone)
The three siblings all looked at Earl after Bean gave a concerned glance to Mori. “W…What’s goin’ on?” Luka asked, rubbing his eyes again.
"I'm sure I'll be fine…" Mori hummed softly to himself and jumped when he heard someone yelling outside, seeming antsy and nervous. "W-What was that??"
Earl jumped over a crate. "I WILL PUNT YOUR DOG ACROSS THE CAMP IF THIS KEEPS UP!" He managed to make a few more feet before being taken down by the chihuahua. "YOU LITTLE-" That was all he managed to get out before he face planted.
Bean stood up and walked over to Earl. “Excuse me sir…but why are you yelling?” she asked, not as loud as Earl’s yelling.
At first, Tohru had reached for his gun and clicked off the safety. But as soon as he realized what was happening, he lowered it.
Some people must have camped outside. He was surprised they hadn't been attacked.
He walked up cautiously behind Bean.
Earl shook the dog off and stood up. "THIS DOG'S OWNER IS AN ASSHOLE WHO SCAMMED ME!" He yelled as he started to take out the pistol.. "AND I AM VERY TIRED OF THIS DOG CHASING ME!"
“Whoa, whoa whoa! Don’t shoot the dog!” Bean stepped in between the dog and Earl. “That’s just cruel!”
"SCARING THE DOG, AND SHOOTING A DOG ARE VERY DIFFERENT THINGS." Earl said as he pulled the trigger, sending a bullet into the ground and scaring off the chihuahua. "Shooting the dog was never the plan." He took a breath and holstered his gun.
“I hope not!” Bean crossed her arms, frowning. “There are children here and they don’t need to see any more dead bodies,” she hissed.
Mori screamed at the gunshot and covered his ears, trembling with fear. His face was very pale, and he seemed terrified, still not entirely sure what was going on outside.
"Agreed." Earl replied grimly. "Name's Earl Harbinger. Yours?" He got out a cigarette pack and huffed. "Out…worst timing in the world."
“Bean Rose,” Bean held her left arm. “And no, Bean doesn’t stand for anything…” she was about to sigh when she heard Mori and Luka scream. “Crap…” she rushes back to the others. “Guys, you okay?” she asked them, checking for any wounds.
Mori was still trembling, staring wide-eyed at where the sound had come from. He kept his ears covered with his hands, hiccuping and drawing in quick, sharp breaths. "W-What's happening…?"
“The new guy shot at the ground…don’t worry, it’s over,” Bean pulled Mori close as Luka leaned against his sister, breathing heavily.
Earl followed, curious. "Oh, you have kids. Or siblings." He shrugged and looked around, seeming a little more hostile then before. "Need to get back to my workshop…"
Mori huddled up in Bean's lap, hugging her tightly and whimpering. "I-I didn't know that there were more survivors here…" He whispered softly. "Is he gonna hurt us…?"
Luka glared at Earl, not talking. “These two are my siblings,” Bean gestured to Lilac and Luka, “and he’s like a little brother to me,” she smiled a little, talking about Mori. “I hope he doesn’t hurt us…” she told Mori, rubbing her fingers through his hair.
Earl crouched down so he could get a bit more to Mori's eye level. "Never. Not in a million years kid." He smiled at the him. "Here. I think I know something that'll make you feel better." Earl reached into his pocket and pulled out a toy pop gun. "It'll keep you safe when you're travelling."
Mori buried his face in Bean's shoulder and held tighter to her, although her gentle petting made him relax a bit. He still didn't trust the new man at all, and he didn't really want to talk to him just in case.
Bean pulled Mori and Luka closer. She gave Earl a look that said “I’m watching you” as she brushed both kids’ hair with her fingers. She wasn’t going to let anything hurt either of these kids…
Earl shrugged and put the pop gun back into his pocket. "Never mind then." He said as he stood up as his knees popped loudly. "Ow." He frowned at his knees like they were particularly useless. "Well, sorry for bothering ya'll. Have a good day." Earl said as he turned to leave.
Mori tentatively glanced up at the man, still pale and jittery from the loud noise the gun had caused. It was making him feel uncomfortable and panicky and he couldn't pinpoint exactly why. His breathing was shallow, and his heart was racing.
Bean looked at Mori. “Hey…it’s okay, he’s gone…” she whispered, trying to comfort him. Luka nodded, hugging Mori.
After visiting someone selling some random bits, Earl started walking to the back of the outpost. "They seemed…weird." He mused as he took a swig of water from his canteen.
