Since that went badly, this character doesn&#8217;t care about innocents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How many hit the boat?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Eighty-five&#8230; A hundred and five&#8230; A hundred and twenty seven.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mmm&#8230; it&#8217;s a stealth boiler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is everything okay up there?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah. I think [the boat] has a flat tire&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is that supposed be there?  I&#8217;m not familiar with these &#8216;sea cars&#8217;, as I call them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Botch hidden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You see two Japanese sailors loping towards you.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Loping is bad.  LOPING IS BAD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, one is using a short metal club. The other is attempting to fist-fight a shotgun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He attempts to parry your switchblade with his tongue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will load once, and then unload once.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The big guy is currently headless.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;God, I hope that stopped him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t bring an interpreter. We don&#8217;t speak fish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They know the plan is to blow up the volcano, so it&#8217;s their responsibility to get out of the blast radius.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We followed the adage &#8216;women and butlers first.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This begins the scenario I like to call &#8216;Alone in the Dark.'&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No, we&#8217;ll be holding hands.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;ll be holding hands with something&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you realize that someone has lost their life and been incorporated into some sort of horrible sigil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will insert myself between Alice and it and try to remove the spells from its head.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will shoot it, see how it likes them apples. It likes them just fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will spend sanity and will to make that boat go all the way to England.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m considering going back for it. Y&#8217;know, fuck Eldridge; I just want the monkey hatchet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a naked sailor somewhere on board.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s not necessarily a problem for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How was this set up while we were upstairs?!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;They&#8217;re industrious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t diversify, they&#8217;re going to out-cult you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to desecrate anything I come across.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;So you&#8217;re going to pee on it?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m glad I wasn&#8217;t the only one thinking that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s&#8230; fine.

The exit is right there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it dead people smeared all over the walls?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Are you looking?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Nope.  I&#8217;m just curious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is there a porthole?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No!  No portholes!  No &#8211; oh.  For grenades?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do we have another navy lying around?  I mean, we had one&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s the plan: we&#8217;re going to take the spark plugs out of the rocket.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just want it known that I think this is a bad, bad idea.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a terrible idea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a volcano, not a missile silo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who said anyone&#8217;s leaving?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Optimism.  Optimism says we could potentially leave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have many fine qualities.  I did not say map-making was one of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They might have coffee and cupcakes.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;No. They probably have caviar they&#8217;re trying to raise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you have the keys? And all of the spark plugs? And possibly a pocket full of gas?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you just give your grenade to any random stranger lying on the beach?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He has nice shoulders!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s continue with our terrible, terrible idea.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Let&#8217;s see if we can get Darryl&#8217;s character killed tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, I just rolled experimentally.
