...Hear that?

Silvershade

What is it?

Silvershade

Not seen you in a while. What brings you here?

... What?

All I hear is noisy bar drunks...

The guy over there coughing up a lung?

Reply

Nope. And I don't want to either. Bye.

I want to help you pay your debt

Nothing, sorry to bother you

Silvershade

The crowd... Can barely hear myself think in this bar... A lot of people hate crowds, but me? I love' em. Can't seem to shake the feeling of loneliness ever since I left the Hive... So it comforts me.

Silvershade

Exactly... Can barely hear myself think in this bar... A lot of people hate crowds, but me? I love' em. Can't seem to shake the feeling of loneliness ever since I left the Hive... So it comforts me.

Silvershade

No, no, not him... The crowds! Can barely hear myself think in this bar... A lot of people hate crowds, but me? I love' em. Can't seem to shake the feeling of loneliness ever since I left the Hive... So it comforts me.

Silvershade

Really? You have the Cats to help me out?

So why don't you go back?

I can imagine. Must be tough.

I know that feeling all too well...

Sounds like you need to let go of the past to me.

Well, I didn't ask for your lifestory, pal. I got places to be.

Reply

Sure do. You're hired

Reply

Wait... no, sorry

Silvershade

... You're kidding me, right? That place is a prison, an illusion, and it's a miracle I ever broke free. Growing accustomed to something, like the brainless crowds of the Hive, isn't the same as missing something.

Silvershade

Sleeping, eating and breathing the same air as your colony every day becomes a habit. Feels naked being apart from that collective. I treasure my freedom everyday, but habit... it's a hard thing to break... Damn! I'm rambling on, sorry to talk your ear off, outlander. Guess I'm feeling a little reflective today.

Silvershade

You can shake the past, but you can't shake habit. Being accustomed to the crowds of the hive.. sleeping together, eating together, breathing together... Anyway, you don't want to hear about my problems! I'm just here looking for work.

Silvershade

Great, I'll prove my use to you...

I suppose you're right. What brings you here anyway?

Reply

But it's in your nature to be part of a hive. You can't fight nature.

Reply

If you want to be part of a collective, why not join me?

Reply

But it's in our nature to be part of a hive. You can't fight nature.

Reply

That's okay. What brings an ex-hiver here anyway?

Reply

Tell me about it, I got places to be. See you around.

Reply

Work? How much are you charging?

You're right, I didn't ask for your lifestory, pal. I got places to be.

Silvershade

Thank you

Silvershade

I've gone and worked up a debt at the casino... The big boss said he'd break my legs if I didn't pay him back by the end of the week. So, here I am, selling my soul to pay off my debt... I like my legs afterall.

Silvershade

I sure as hell can fight nature. And I sure as hell have...

Silvershade

Well, always up for an adventure, me. I'd like that... But I've gone and worked up a debt at the casino, I can't leave. The big boss said he'd break my legs if I didn't pay him back by the end of the week. And trust me, you don't want to get on the wrong side of the Big Bosses. So, I need to raise the money to pay off my debt first. I like my legs afterall.

Silvershade

I sure as hell can fight nature. And I sure as hell have... You of all people should understand that. You broke free once after all.

Silvershade

All I want is 3000 Cats to settle my debt. I'm a jack of all trades, me. Not bad with a sword... not bad with a lockpick either. I've done things I'm not proud of to get by, but name me one ronin who hasn't...

Reply

How much is your debt?

Reply

I'm not getting involved in that. Good luck with it.

Reply

Why don't you just run away?

Reply

What brings an ex-hiver here anyway?

Reply

Then you're an abomination of nature!

Reply

Well you can at least still be part of a collective, why not join me?

Reply

Good for you. Anyway, I got places to be. See you around.

Reply

Why don't you just run away with me?

Reply

How much is your debt? Maybe I can help.

Reply

Then you're an abomination of nature! We both are!

Reply

Well we can at least still be part of a collective, why not join me?

Reply

Ok, you're hired

Reply

Sorry, that's a little out of my budget

Reply

Nah, I'm not interested after all

Silvershade

3000 Cats...

Silvershade

Of course. See you around, outlander

Silvershade

Trust me, you don't want to piss off the Big Bosses. Having my legs broken would be the better option of the two...

Silvershade

An abomination? You're crazy, go talk to someone else.

Silvershade

That would be... unwise. I don't want to drag you into that mess, outlander.

Silvershade

Great, I'll prove my use to you...

Reply

I can pay your debt for you

Reply

Wish I could help, but I don't have the Cats...

Reply

That's one hell of a debt. Good luck with that

Reply

That's pretty steep. You got any skills to go with that?

Silvershade

You can? Great, I'll prove my use to you...

Silvershade

That's okay. I'll find another way...

Silvershade

I'm a jack of all trades, me. I've done my time as a bandit, pickpocket, mercenary, you name it. I have street smarts and decent combat skills... I've done things I'm not proud of to get by, but name me one ronin who hasn't...

Reply

Then follow me. I'll pay your debt.

Reply

On second thought, I can't help you.

Silvershade

You will? Great, I'll prove my use to you...

Silvershade

What is this?!

What's going on?! / What are you doing?! / Stop this! / What's going on here?! / What is this?!

Silvershade

Wh- what are you doing?

Wh- what's going on? / Wh- what's happening? / Wh- what is this? / ! / Wha?! / Stop!

Silvershade

No... I want to... live..

I'm not... gonna... die yet.. / I won't... let you.. get me... / You're not... gonna get me... / Not... gonna lose... / I'm... gonna... survive... I'm a survivor... / Victory... must... be earned...

Silvershade

No...

Ughh... / I don't... want to... die! / Mmph... / *gurgle*

Silvershade

Oh... gone...

... Back to work. / ... Back to our task. / Oh... got away. / Oh... they've gone... / Safe again... back to work.
