Let's take a trip to The Jump House, shall we?
Awesome. I love having extra runners on my team.
Wow, this girl is severely lacking in the cyberware department, and sadly she's already been ruined with a wasted level of muscle replace... But, we've got some essence to work with, at least.
I got her essence down to .1 with cyberware (love those Wired Reflexes), gave her a Remington Roomsweeper Shotgun... Got her a 30,000 nuyen military armor from Mr. Agira Tetsumi... She's ready to rock.
Of course, those percentages she mentioned before? I don't think so, scooter. She's gonna be doing Shadowrunning for me for the rest of the game to repay the nuyen that these cost me; nevermind for busting her out of prison in the first place.
I rename this elven tribe "ye of the long speaking".
Yeah, yeah... Blah blah blah...
Man, I can't believe I read and possibly comprehended any of this when I was younger. As I get older and delve further into the Shadowrun universe, only now does it start to make more sense.
Of all that is holy, will all elves please shut up before I introduce you to my boomstick.
Shop smart. Shop S-mart. YOU GOT THAT?
Yes, please take me to someone else who will talk my goddamn ear off. Frosty the Snow Elf.
If you're still reading these, don't worry. The pain is almost over. Storm... Errr... I mean, Frosty, is about done...
Oh, you're going to tell me something important now? FINALLY?
I join your Sinsearach and am sworn to protect it. At this point, I am protecting it from myself. You self-centered elves are making me want to rage and burn and pillage this land to the ground.
Wow, Harlequin is a ... DUDE!?
Didn't see that one comin', didja Mista J?
This game just made a serious switch from over-abundance of walking to an over-abundance of talking. There lacks a balance.
"Shut up, Bats!"
So... Let me get this straight... You got my brother killed, and then you've managed to make me go on fetch quest after fetch quest to try and find out the truth?
I should choke you right here, right now.
Dear lord, how did I EVER beat this game as a kid? My attention span must have been amazing then.
But it sure isn't that long anymore! I've drifted away from everything except mashing the "A" button at this point...
Okay Harlequin, if I can get a word in edgeways here... You know why we're in such a pickle right now? You're spending all your time sending the people who would help you on laboriously stupid fetch quests to collect items and help people who are worthless and lazy and they're spending all their own goddamn nuyen to do this, and then you're just talking their ear off in return while whining about how time sensitive everything is.
Are you... Are you noticing the key point here? The pattern that is emerging?
Probably not, since you're an elf and I'm a human, and therefore you won't listen to me -- but instead talk my ear off while Thon prepares to defile the tomb of your ancestors.
Boy if I was the spirit of Ellisia, I'd be pissed right now.
Honestly, I have heard enough of this "THON may be at the tomb already!" Because I'd have beat him to it if you dumb bastards hadn't sent me on an assload of meaningless retarded quests (and if I hadn't spent like the first 2/3 of the game doing mindless cyberdeck matrix runs, but that's beside the point).
Seriously, now you want me to assemble a final team? So just me and two other guys on a suicide mission to save the world - or in the least, your homeland - while you reap all the glory? After the complete uptight asshole nature you elves treat humans with, you have a lot of nerve.
Oh wait, there's still some more petty nonsense I need to do before I put my size 14 combat boot up Thon's ass!? Well that's just great, you know that? You fuckers aren't paying me enough for this... In fact, you aren't paying me ANYTHING.
Oh, and my brother? He's thanking you for all of this, from beyond the grave. Yeah. So thanks for that. Let's not lose sight of how I wound up tangled in your fantastic mess in the first place, Mr. smarty pants.
