"Am I dead? Please say yes."

"One more word and I'll leave."

"I don't think we can salvage this."

"If you were really sorry, you'd change."

"Don't tell me what I'm allowed to feel…"

"Don't act like you know what's going on."

"No. Get out of here. I don't want to see you."

"You snore so loud, I can't hear myself think."

"Who ever gave you the right to act this way?"

"They weren't supposed to tell you where I am."

"It's called empathy. Maybe you should learn it."

"I know I'm bad at this; you don't have to rub it in."

"Yes, I hear you. All the dramatics. It's hard not to."

"Why are you shrinking yourself for everyone else?"

"Yeah, let's see how YOU like cold feet on your back!"

"No. No, tell me what you actually think. I want to know."

"Just tell me how to help. I want to, I just don't know how."

Please. Give me a trickle of normalcy, what the fuck did you just do?

That's ok, I'm- I'm not human.

The dick didn't render properly on my screen, I didn't have all the add-ons.

There are no pre-determined deaths.

HOW THE FUCK-?!

Please stop talking about my murder tally!

Oh, he just injected me with drugs!

The drugs are taking effect!

Look (name), explosives!

Listen, even bones are scared of bombing runs.

Oh, THREATS IS IT?

Hey, who killed him. Who killed this?

I'd love to have a good-old yeehaw with you.

I would never threaten you, (name), unless you gave me reason to.

I would fall asleep to the sound of him screaming and gunfire.

It was relaxing.

I was the woman behind the slaughter.

Get out of my FUCKING way.

The weather channel is scary! Sometimes.

I said that as a defense mechanism.

AWESOME IT'S PENIS!

Nut up or shut up!

I didn't get hired for a gooping, (name)!

Oh goodie! More nuclear waste!

You wanna put up your dukes?!

I'm the alpha male now!

Thank God every nuclear power plant has a cache of grenades that's mandatory to be there.

Can you not point a pistol at my head when you compliment me?

You're a nasty little sewage boy, aren't you (name)?

You guys are like wind-up toys. Fuck.

Calm down. Put down your piece of metal.

He owed me FIVE!

My power grows, (name)!

Oh, I remember this part! I hit that button and I did it on purpose!

Yeah I'm sorry we're kind of fucked.

Not anymore it's not!

Yeah, that's what I wanna hear!

Excuse me, but… Does anyone know how I died?

(Name), my neural implants don't allow me to tell you!

(Name) posted these to LiveLeak later that day.

You are a fucking anomaly.

The HOLE, you idiot!

Anything else and you're fucked ten ways from Saturday, buddy.

(Name) was already assaulting my brain.

There's a guy ahead I NEED to kill him.

I actually don't know if you can help, that looks like hell.

Fucking of course it is! It's a chair! Get out of my house!

Shut the FUCK.

Take that, you damnable bitch!

Don't worry, my body is completely numb.

Hey fucker-! Wuh?!

I'm not afraid of you! … I'm afraid of you!

(Name)'s military psychological warfare is impeccable.

You can hear the unsurity in his voice.

Hey I just SAVED YOUR LIFE!

I'm… Pretty sure it's not.

LOOK (name), WE MADE IT TO THE SURFACE.

Then we kill everyone and take it for ourselves.

(Name) is a jaded tutorial NPC until (he/she/they) believes (his/her/their) life is in peril.

You thought wrong, my good bitch!

I have good news. I do believe the United States Military has been completely wiped out this time!

ASS. BLAST. U.S.A.

I want to go back. I'm going back!

(Name) is pumped full of a killing intent at night.

Someone's activated the beast.

I bet he's lonely and waiting for your plump lips, (Name).

That's not true, be nice to yourself or I'll get you.

BACK, FOUL BEASTS!

(Name) carves through solid concrete like it's a hot knife through butter.
