Skeleton Resident

How much time has eluded us to witness this new breed of human?

Skeleton Resident

The humans looks different to the last time I saw them. Perhaps they have evolved.

Skeleton Resident

Human's crossing winds of fire and atmospheres of poison...

Skeleton Resident

Time flows quickly when you live in a bubble of lost time.

Skeleton Resident

Perhaps the outside world will have also evolved along with them.

Skeleton Resident

Time has changed. Perhaps it is a sign of awakening in the next cycle.

Bystander

I've lived long enough to be no longer surprised. Your contemplation is wasted.

Bystander

You overestimate humanity. Their short-term cravings will forever be a block to the world's evolution.

Bystander

Nothing has changed. Humans are and always will be dull and predictable.

Bystander

Ponder all you want. At the end of it, nothing will have truly changed.

Skeleton Resident

Whhhhat's that, tasty huuuuuman?

Skeleton Resident

Yooooou want me to feeeeed on your inner goooooo?

Skeleton Resident

Whhhhhy, it would be my pleasuuuure, just wait while I find my gooooo scoop...

Bystander

First time he's spoken in over a hundred years...

Bystander

I preferred the silence.

Skeleton Resident

Will you ever forgive us, human?

Forgive us, human...

Skeleton Resident

I'd forgotten how soggy humans look...

I'd forgotten how soft humans look...

Skeleton Resident

The humans are here. It's been a while.

The first humans show. More will follow. / Not even the flaming winds can keep the humans out now.

Skeleton Resident

They come horned now...

Skeleton Resident

... Where are your feet?

Skeleton Resident

I've had more interesting interactions with a goat than I have with any human...

Humans seem only to get more dull with time...

Skeleton Resident

First, they trickle in.

Skeleton Resident

Your clothes, your features, your technology. All of it changes...

Skeleton Resident

I used to have a purpose. Now I simply mourn its end.

How I miss the days when I existed with a purpose, in blissful ignorance / Once I lived. Now I simply exist. / I've seen too much to be inspired by anything new. Nothing is new to me anymore.

Skeleton Resident

There is nothing I have not witnessed, nothing I cannot predict...

Skeleton Resident

Live as long as I have, human, and you've seen everything.

Skeleton Resident

Did you ever find what you were looking for?

Skeleton Resident

Trying to assimilate with the humans is futile.

Skeleton Resident

You don't belong in the human world. Not even the humans do.

Skeleton Resident

Waiting to die, not wanting to die.

Skeleton Resident

You've returned. No one ever returns.

Skeleton Resident

What is that? An Enforcer?

Skeleton Resident

What.. is... that? A human? A green human?

Skeleton Resident

*Creak*

Skeleton Resident

Rusty chassis is playing up again...

My capacitors aren't what they used to be... / Thousands of years with only one working eye and a busted diode is nothing more than misery / First my sprockets seize up, now my pumps have corroded... / Here I watch on while this body slowly breaks down, part by part

Skeleton Resident

The Enforcers always were spiky in character...

Skeleton Resident

Time stands still when purpose is lost...

Skeleton Resident

Do I hide or do I roam? That indecision...

Skeleton Resident

Why are you here, human? There's nothing for you here...

Skeleton Resident

A traveller? I'm envious, but with these rusted knees I won't be going anywhere

Skeleton Resident

Think you've got it tough with that decaying body of yours?

Skeleton Resident

Even the erratic humans become dull after a couple hundred years...

Skeleton Resident

There was a time, long ago, when I decided to leave here and explore a new life...

Skeleton Resident

My millionth human? How terribly exciting for me...

Humans, far too many bodily fluids for my liking. I do hope there aren't more of you to follow. / Humans, great for gas expulsion and tantrums. Terrible conversationists. / And what intellectual delights might this wisened human have for me? / The humans haven't killed themselves yet? I guess that's me out of the death pool. / I'm impressed. Your kind isn't extinct yet. I overestimated human stupidity. / What are you doing here? There's nothing here for humans.

Time stands still within our walls but, outside, a new world grows and evolves.

Skeleton Resident

We didn't have footless humans back in my day...

Skeleton Resident

Then, they assimilate.

Skeleton Resident

But human nature always remains predictable.

Skeleton Resident

Living is dull when nothing more can be learned.

Skeleton Resident

And to see everything is a curse.

Skeleton Resident

Thought not.

Skeleton Resident

My eyes aren't what they used to be...

Skeleton Resident

At this rate, there will soon be nothing left of this body to rust...

Skeleton Resident

How humorous that they now sport true spikes to match

Skeleton Resident

Life has grown tedious

Skeleton Resident

Now the world has changed and I've missed it all..

Skeleton Resident

You want excitement and action? You won't find that here.

Skeleton Resident

Try living with a fractured chassis for over three thousand years

Skeleton Resident

After a couple thousand? Good grief, kill me now

Skeleton Resident

It was a disappointing time.

Skeleton Resident

Finally, they ravage.

Skeleton Resident

Hundreds of years in existence take it's toll, slowly but surely...

Bystander

Ignore him, his mind is broken.

Skeleton Resident
