But the ones you just ran pest-control on? Your basic infernal frat party, kegging on the reality divide. Why here, Kirsten? I sense you're asking. A: don't do that first-name thing, I hate it, B: my records show the roach motel was built over an Illuminati social from the late 1800s. So again you're cleaning up after dead old guys. Get used to that story, I know I have."

"Thank you so much for the new socks. They're right warm and a snug fit. Yeah, I'm doing well. Although this war has grown a little wearisome. Nothing much interesting ever happens these parts. Today, I landed a Nazi helicopter on a nicked Nazi nuclear submarine aircraft carrier. After which I donned a deep-water diving suit, swam down an abyssal trench in the middle of the Atlantic fuckin' ocean, don't mean to bother you with the details. Long story short, I'm in a secret vault full of things so magical and abnormal in nature, the mind has no recourse but to shudder in bewilderment. 'Course, I'm accompanied by a Nazi-killing lunatic and some kind of genius wizard who claims to be on a first-name basis with God Almighty himself. Ah, well, we can only hope for a more stimulating turn of events in the future. Give my love to everyone back home, Fergus out."

Sonic: The train was a Badnik. It tampered with a murder mystery game and nearly ruined a perfectly good birthday party, too.
Annie: Oh… right… that.
Tails: Heh. That was still a good time, though.
Saru: You’ve got a weird definition of a good time…
Cosmo: Not even the first time a birthday nearly ended in a catastrophe, actually. Really weird that it has happened twice.
Sonic: Twice? *Sonic thinks for a moment.* Oh, right, the Time Eater!
Tails: Ugh, that thing was awful…

Artemis: Heck, Damien flat-out refused to go back for the longest time.
Dream: 🤨
Damien: I was like 4, I thought my parents were cooler when they let me do whatever I wanted… Wasn’t my best idea in hindsight, given that I almost got my parents to break up before they even got married.
Dream: Wait, you WHAT?!
Dark Matt: Long story short, high energy kids and teenage parents don’t mix well. Especially teenage parents going through an existential crisis.
Maid: Not to mention there’s also what I had to deal with as his “best friend”. Only difference now is that I play second fiddle to a fish in that regard.

"This is what [Muslim cleric] Mohammad Alkobaisi said about bin Laden being buried at sea: "They can say they buried him at sea, but they cannot say they buried him at sea according to according to Islam. Sea burials are permissible for Muslims in extraordinary circumstances only, and this is not one of them." Let's have a quick recap on those circumstances: Osama bin Laden was shot in the face at point-blank range in front of his family after a possibly illegal American incursion into Pakistani airspace following a ten-year campaign to bring him to justice for flying two hijacked fully-laden passenger aircraft into the World Trade Centre, killing literally thousands and thousands of people. What has made this Mohammad Alkobaisi so jaded, that this does not fit his definition of 'extraordinary circumstances'? What a jaded, jaded man, Sheffield. Not the sort of man you'd want to have to organise a surprise birthday party for."

"You know how in The Shadow Over Innsmouth the fact that the townspeople worship Dagon, are turning into fish men and routinely knob Deep Ones was the big horrifying revelation that drove the narrator mad? Well, Innsmouthers show up in this game, someone points them out and says: "They look weird don't they? It's because they worship Dagon and are turning into fish. Besides that they're alright lads but I wish they'd stop flooding the local economy with all that gold they get from those Deep Ones they're always knobbing".
It just throws me how everyone, including the protagonist, takes all this in their stride, the game has a rather insipid combat element as partial justification for the open world, so every now and again we get attacked by reject Silent Hill: Homecoming monsters in a basement, and no-one seems to give a shit! "Yeah, pesky buggers aren't they? We kind of got used to them after we barricaded off the seven or eight streets they hang out on."
