Very true. The joy of the hunt is not on the game prey, but in the game itself (Another K-ism, she has a few). One of our better memories of playing Pripyat is doing the X-8 labs (i think) mission, you have to get a dossier and become immediately ambushed by a bunch of annoying mercs. As I was getting there again, she just told me "Man, just duck out of the window halfways, and the instant you take the documents, we drop all the way down". Lo and behold, it was hilarious that we pulled something that unexpected and that I had never thought to do on my own(somest).

She digs the looting game as well, but her endurance isn't great, specially fighting. A chronostasis-enhanced brain along with an hyperdense musculature demands a lot of energy, so ironically, her best move is to avoid fighting. So she wears light saturnite plate and lead-spitting weaponry to keep her treks as brisk as possible. She's also nagging me I clarify she's not a cannibal, because she prefers beer-sauteed gecko any day of the week over resorting to human arm flesh. Yeah, handful to explain, she's touchy on her past.

>"The rest of us, though - we were just trying to civilize things."
Ain't that the truth. That's pretty much K's whole goal with fighting the Circle's Brotherhood - these assholes loot entire buildings out of any useful technology, execute civilians that don't want their refurbished fusion generators scrapped, and the moment they witness a civilization more educated and charitable than theirs, they flip their lids and decide they think they can invade people that were safer and happier without them. She's flabbergasted at how are the Brotherhood the good guys in our dimension, but can see clearly why did the Circle of Steel kill Maxon and took over the BoS in hers.

My apologies for being self-centered, I haven't asked how does you and your tulpa hangout in gamespace. Do you talk to each other in agreement or does one of you bring the humor as the other laughs?
