Character: Hank Venture
Series: The Venture Bros.
Age: Around 16
Canon: The Venture Bros. is a bit like the Saturday morning cartoon shows you grew up on… if those characters had to deal with the same sort of real world problems the rest of us do. The story centers on former Boy Adventurer Rusty Venture and his middle aged troubles. There are bills to pay and twin boys to raise all while fending off attacks from professional arch villains. Life in the super science business is rough all over, especially when you will never live up to the legend of your father. It’s no wonder the main theme of the show is “failure”.
Hank Venture is one half of the twins the show is named after. He is more athletic and gung-ho than his brother Dean, but has a slimmer grasp of reality. This manifests in strange leaps of logic and his tendency to sound like bad dialogue from action movies. Despite his age, Hank is just discovering girls and only has one friend besides his brother. It’s not all his fault; he’s never even been to school since he has a subliminal learning device built into his bed. His frequent flights of fancy, like many of his traits, would be far more appropriate for a younger kid. But despite his ignorance, he’s always ready for an adventure. After all, he’s going to be Batman when he grows up.
Sample Post:
Boss! It is a real summer camp. I thought when Dad said I could go to camp he for sure meant, like, a little day camp for babies. But this is the real deal! Cabins, canoes and I bet that is a fire pit where they roast hot dogs and marshmallows or maybe even a squirrel, after we get our squirrel trapping badges. I bet some night we will sit around the fire and tell ghost stories, and I’ll probably be super popular when everyone hears how I totally beat up Phantom Space Man. Yep, they’re gonna be all over me when I tell the story. And this camp had better have some girls in it. Chicks can’t resist The Hankinator. This is going to be even better than the time our plane crashed outside her show and we got to meet Dame Edna! And let me tell you, she was one classy lady.
Okay, I gotta ask, gorilla guy. What is your deal? No offense, but you look like the bad end of some kind of radioactive super-monkey… experiment. Did you get some kind of crazy powers? Like, super strength or your eyes shoot high power monkey-beams. Or maybe, like, you can eat a whole bunch of bananas all at once without getting sick! That would be a neato superpower. Yep, it’s gotta be some kind of mutation or science stuff. When you picked me up earlier I could tell it wasn’t a rubber mask. Trust me, I would know, I see them all the time. Come to think of it, a lot of them tried to bad touch me too…
Oh! Are you one of King Gorilla’s henchmen? He’s a gorilla too, only I think he can talk! And maybe, like, command jungle animals? I don’t think he hates my dad though… Wait, you’re not gonna kidnap me or anything, are you? Lame. Couldn’t you at least, like, hit me with a tranquilizer dart or offer me some candy or something? That’s how it usually goes down. Just try not to be too rough, I still have rope burns from the last time Dean and I got captured. Plus, Dad told me if I get rabies from a monkey bite one more time he isn’t going to treat it because I need to “learn my lesson,” whatever that means. It’s not like he’s ever taught us anything! Everything I need to know, I learn in bed.
Don’t look now, gorilla guy, but I think those are… Holy crap! They ARE zombies! Okay, don’t… panic! Don’t. Panic. Just think: What would Batman do?

Character: Nunally vi Britannia
Series: Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
Character's Age - 15.
Canon: Code Geass is a series about exiled prince Lelouch vi Britannia, who becomes the rebel leader Zero to destroy his father's empire, fighting family and friend alike. Much of this fight concerns the fate of Japan, now Area 11 under Britannian rule. Nunnally is Lelouch's little sister and he has a very obvious complex about her, always claiming he does what he does to keep her safe and to create the peaceful world she wishes for. She is being taken from R2 - right before the Chinese arc, so there will be spoilers in this description.
Nunnally was crippled and blinded when her mother was murdered in front of her. Since then, she has been completely dependent on her older brother, and is ignorant to the fact that Lelouch is Zero. However, after Lelouch suddenly disappears from Nunnally's life, she regains her princess title and becomes the Governor General of Area 11. Increasingly more assertive, she wants to help create a better world, and is quick to question the unjust. Nunnally is very kind and brave, with a strong sense of right and wrong, but she is also very sheltered and, sometimes, naive. A wise leader in the making, she can be very direct and even excessive when something important to her is in danger. She also can tell you are lying if you hold her hand.
Sample Post:
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? I must confess that when Ms. Sayre kindly invited me to tour her Citizens For United Democracy camp, I was not expecting to find so many of its residents this unhappy. I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I have some reservations to that. Take, for example, the situation of Ms. Marcy - a very gentle creature who told me she doesn’t get enough exercise or food. She tried to deny it, but when I held her tentacle, I could sense she felt really lonely, poor thing! I wonder if Ms. Sayre would agree to flood the whole area once or twice a week, so Ms. Marcy will be able to swim around and make new friends. Maybe even meet a special someone who loves her for what she is! Of course we would give everybody life boats! But don't you want to help Ms. Marcy to feel less like a fish out of water?
Oh, and we must also do something about the gorillas. After all, they were kind enough to grab my wheelchair and pull me out of the swamp. They rocked and threw me in the air as if I was still a little girl! I could tell they really enjoyed the company. All those lovely creatures want is to hug us really, really affectionately, but they say the campers are very shy around them. There is so much lack of understanding in this world, isn’t there? I can assure you it takes nothing to enjoy the company of gorillas. All you need to do is to get used to their distinct scent of dirty fur. I’m going to suggest Ms. Sayre to plan more activities together and… Oh, Mr. Gorilla, could you please refrain from holding me upside down? My brothers and sisters would worry if I damaged my legs any further... N-not really. It's very unfortunate, but I can't "just walk on my hands", although I have to admit that sounds like an adorable trick.
It's really sad, but I'm afraid the human residents are not faring any better. We truly need to do something about this horrible flu. Really, I didn't expect to find so many sick people in Louisiana. It's usually such a lovely warm weather. Poor dears, their constant moaning breaks my heart! And some of them are falling apart from migraines and...I'm afraid their skin smells of fungus? I must find a way to lend a hand to Madame Sayre so her efforts won't go to pieces. Yes, that's what big brother would do. He would persuade all the drug stores in Britannia to drop bombshells filled with cold medicine in Louisiana. And then ask all the sick Louisianians to open their mouths very wide and be happy and healthy again. Yes, that might be a good idea.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Nunnally vi Britannia, Governor General of Area 11. I can't see or walk, but I promise to work hard to help make CFUD a place where all humans -- oh, and of course, superhumans and non-humans -- can live together in an environment of mutual respect, tolerance and love. Please, don’t view my reservations as a criticism. No, no. It’s just that there is always room for improvement, don’t you think? I sincerely wish to talk to Ms Sayre as soon as possible. She sounds like a truly remarkable woman! I’m sure I can learn a lot from her experience. The truth is, I’ve never met anyone who could keep so many different people - even long-time enemies - united like this. It makes you wonder if the world wouldn’t be a much better place if it was more like CFUD!

Character: Tsume
Series: Wolf's Rain
Age: Looks around 20 when in human form
Canon: Set in a dying world that's on its way to an end, Wolf's Rain is a story of wolves and flower maidens and a paradise that will save them all. It focuses on the journey of four lone wolves who cross paths while they follow the scent of lunar flowers, which an old legend indicates as a tell-tale sign of the flower maiden, Cheza. When Cheza is stolen away by the Nobles, an elite group who lord over the humans of the world, they form a haphazard pack and decide to seek her out. They start on a long journey, relying on nobody but themselves to find the paradise that only wolves can find.
One of the pack members, Tsume, is at first reluctant to join the pack. A strong fighter who distances himself from his allies, rough, and even arrogant at times, he joins the others out of boredom and does not initially believe in Paradise. Tsume is the kind that'd rather fight you than be friends with you; he ends up either fighting with the other wolves or dismissing them entirely. Despite Tsume's seemingly tough nature, he is actually the most naive of the pack and the most timid, hiding his true nature and his past from others with his fierce words and actions. As they continue to journey on, he eventually comes to believe in Paradise as strongly as the others and becomes a loyal pack member.
Sample Post:
Hey, you. Bird brain. Shut the hell up for a minute and answer me. What the hell kind of paradise is this? You were flying over me before going on about everything I'd want would be here. "Fertile lands, plenty of meat to eat wandering around, and lots of willing mates" or some crap like that. Only thing I've found are a bunch of dogs so excited to see me they were wagging their tails off. Literally. Did you tell them a wolf was coming into the swamp or what? And what the hell's your problem? Don't know what toucan meat tastes like, but if you don't stop squawking with laughter I know what I'm gonna have for dinner!
Ch'. Damn bird can fly away all he wants, there ain't nowhere to go here. Paradise, my ass. Can't even leave here with that fence I can't see or smell for some reason. The water here's nearly brighter than the daylight, and I still haven't seen the squirrel that fell in come up yet. No animal I know can hold their breath for a good ten minutes like that, not even those weird humans over there. Some of them just don't smell right. Smell more like a carcass left to rot. Even if I was starving I wouldn't touch anything that bright green and oozing. There's gotta be some kinda food around here. I've been hearing hunts going on all the time at night. Don't know what kind of animal howls like that, but it's definitely a satisfied howl. Maybe those dogs weren't jerking my tail when they said they knew the ways of this swamp.
- Damn it, just because I mention you dogs doesn't mean you can show up in my face! For the last time, I don't give a crap that you need a pack leader. I'm not like you. I have a pulse for one thing. And you sniff me again, it's gonna be the last thing you ever smell! You guys really are pathetic. You can't even leave your mark on a tree without your hind leg falling off. And what the hell are you doing using each other as chew toys. Try that on me and I'll bite your face off. Go dig a hole or whatever it is you like doing and go bury yourselves. You're close enough to the grave enough as it is. I don't need rotten dogs like you chasing after me like I was some kind of fetch toy.
... And for cryin' out loud, don't roll over and beg like that. No one's going to pet your belly when it's covered with maggots like that. Damn pups.

Character: Nill
Series: DOGS
Character Age: 14
Canon: In a world where mobsters run the streets and genetic engineering was once the peak of human technology, four people struggle to understand and come to peace with their violent pasts while not getting messily killed in the present.
Nill is not one of these four people. But she was rescued by one. Genetic engineering gave Nill a small pair of wings... which made her very valuable in the eyes of those in the business of human trafficking. She was saved by one Haine Rammsteiner, who then sent her to live with a blind bishop in a church. Nill is a very sweet girl, if a little meek. She's also something of a pushover, but she's always willing to comfort people and is very happy when her friends are.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Nill is mute; she has neither a written nor a spoken voice. So, I will do my best to portray in this app the way she would be played in camp, should I be voted in.
Sample Post:
[In the middle of camp there is a young girl waving, seemingly trying to catch people's attention.
She is succeeding! A group of zombies approach. She smiles nervously at them, then she lifts a hand, signaling them to stop. With a stick, she draws the following on the dirt
; next to it, she draws a big question mark. She stands back and waits.
After a couple of minutes of nothing happening, she sighs and draws a few generic stick figures. One of the zombies points in the direction of the Mess Hall, but just as it does, its hand falls off. The girl jumps back and covers her mouth with a hand in surprise. She sees the zombie struggling to get its hand back. She gets closer to it, bending down and picking the hand up-- looking only a little sick-- She gives the hand to its rightful owner and nods once at the zombie's grunting. Then she turns towards the Mess Hall and starts walking, keeping her hands close to her chest and looking very alert.
Eventually she comes to a stop in front of a tree where a toucan is perched. She stares at it, then gasps, covers her ears and steps back. The toucan crows several times before she dares to step forward again. Once she does the toucan flies down, landing in front of her. She reaches out shyly to pet it. A few seconds later, the following message is broadcast through the toucan's psychic network:]

Character: Kanda Yū
Series: D.Gray-man
Character Age: 18
Canon: At the end of the nineteenth century, humankind is facing imminent doom at the hands of the Millenium Earl and the Vatican is doing its best to stand in his way. With its organization, the Black Order, Exorcists are sent out to fight the Earl and his minions. While this would normally prove to be a task too great for ordinary humans, the Exorcists have the ability to wield weapons made of Innocence, an ancient and divine substance, which gives them that extra boost of badassery. But even with this mysterious power, it's still going to be a long, hard battle.
Kanda, one of the Exorcists, is rude, abrasive, and pretty much hates everyone and everything. He wants nothing more than to do his job and be left alone. Unafraid to speak his mind, he has no problem telling you you're being annoying and to shut up and go away before he kills you. But despite the fact that he's a raging dick, he's still loyal to his job, his purpose and his friends, although you'd just as soon catch him dead than hear him call them that.
Sample Post:
When HQ told me they were sending me to America, they didn't mention how much of a dump this town was going to be. I've been to some pretty terrible places in my time, but this? This is just downright disgusting. The stench of rot and death is almost overwhelming. The name seems somewhat appropriate, at least, but that doesn't change the fact that there are going to be words exchanged when I get back. And by "words" I mean death threats.
Whoever built this place was either seriously daft in the head, or just plain sick, though. The barbed wire and rundown cabins make it look like a prison camp more than anything else. It's like they weren't even trying to hide the fact that this whole place screams bad news. And the decor definitely leaves something to be desired, too. I really could have lived the rest of my life without seeing painted portraits of whatever that thing is in the lake doing . . . whatever the hell it's doing to what I would imagine are hapless victims. Not that I care. It's probably their own fault for getting caught, anyway. But if the Earl is behind it, he's really losing his touch.
Still, as long as I'm here, I'm going to do my job. Besides, the faster I can complete my mission, the faster I can get the hell out. That tree with the creepy, slithering vines looks like it's been eying me for the past ten minutes and I don't want the smell of this place to stick to my hair, let alone my uniform. Might as well ask the . . . locals to see if there's any information I can learn before I dispatch them. Seriously, who fills a town with zombies?
Hey! You undead wastes of space over there. I've got a few questions I need answered, so you're going to tell me what I need to know. If you do? I'll be nice and just break your legs. If you don't? I'm going to cut you into little pieces. It's really just that simple. --Oh, and by the way? Don't touch the hair. The next one of you that tries gets a sword through the eye, because I'm just that nice.
So let's get started, shall we?

Character: Kanda Yuu
Series: D. Gray-man
Character Age: 18
Canon: In the 18th century, there are creatures called Akuma that terrorize humanity under the reign of one who calls himself the Millennium Earl. Akuma cannot be killed by anything but Innocence, a substance that can merge with objects or humans that have the right compatibility. Those that have an affinity for wielding Innocence are called exorcists, and they work for the Vatican to oppose the Millennium Earl in hopes of saving the world from complete darkness.
Kanda Yuu is a withdrawn and irritable workaholic exorcist with social issues. He takes pride in what he does and how he does it, believing in efficiency. Kanda is cold, cynical, and more likely to ellipse and scowl at you than hold conversation. Kanda is not a nice person and will make you regret opening your mouth if you annoy him enough, though he doesn't deliberately harm innocent people. Consider yourself lucky if he, rather than drawing steel, only settles for yelling at you. Believing that getting attached to others will bring unwanted responsibility and let emotions cloud one's judgment, Kanda has a tight control on his emotions and claims that others' worries are not his business. And he won't hesitate to tell you when you're being a moron. His Innocence fits him quite well as it’s a sword named Mugen; Kanda is straight-forward and sharp, willing to cut through a situation and get straight to the point. Having Kanda at your side is one of the best things that could happen to you. He is not your friend, and will probably never consider you such, but he is strong and fights until the very end, staying loyal to the side he’s on.
Sample Post: While apparently someone thinks it’s hilarious to keep people from leaving when they don’t want to stay, I’m not going to sit around on my ass and wait for explanations. I have nothing against fighting monsters but this is ridiculous dammit! I don’t have time to waste on a camp where I get manhandled upon arrival and kept from leaving with my sanity still intact. This might be a recommendation from my superiors, but when faced with nothing more than drooling adversaries and talking animals, my faith in them drops tenfold. Who the hell leaves a note to me in the care of a giant octopus? If it concerns me, give it to me before sending me somewhere. It would keep from wasting my time having to hack off the arms attacking me. This is stupid.
…You’d think that headquarters wasn’t made up of a bunch of mindless idiots, but deciding this place is a good spot to send exorcists “for training purposes”? I’m not going to stay around playing with some creatures who just gurgle their words out. I’ve just about had enough of the living dead. The last experiment of our mindless so-called head supervisor filled that slot perfectly well without it having to happen again. I’m going to have a very thorough talk with whoever came up with this. This is no work for an exorcist. It’s not even training. They should send finders here to get some backbone instead.
“Camp Fuck You Die”? What kind of stupid name is that. I thought the science department had more brains than this. It’s really a brilliant idea to build an order-less camp by a dangerous swamp and a lake with monsters in it. I haven’t found anything like an exit, and I don't appreciate being kept from leaving. I’ve had my share of morons - I know too many - and their moments, and this is no better.
--Oi! I was talking! Damn squid! Get your tentacles away from me!
…I warned you. Don’t come crying to me because of this shit. Damn it… why am I talking to a damn octopus. This place is insane. Tch. You there. Good , you can talk. Finally someone who doesn’t demand brains. I suppose there’s some kind of more civil place around here than just this dump with zombies. I’m also looking for some others who should be around. I want satisfactory answers, so don’t bother if you have nothing interesting to add. No, I have no idea where this is and don’t walk up to them if you’re afraid of being eaten! Idiot. Don’t think I’m going out of my way to rescue anyone without the brains to actually listen to warnings just because I carry a sword.
I was not talking about “brains” like that, you heap of mindless drones! Stop following me around! I have no time fo--- LET GO OF MY HAIR!

And what the hell's your problem? Don't know what toucan meat tastes like, but if you don't stop squawking with laughter I know what I'm gonna have for dinner!
Ch'. Damn bird can fly away all he wants, there ain't nowhere to go here. Paradise, my ass. Can't even leave here with that fence I can't see or smell for some reason. The water here's nearly brighter than the daylight, and I still haven't seen the squirrel that fell in come up yet. No animal I know can hold their breath for a good ten minutes like that, not even those weird humans over there. Some of them just don't smell right. Smell more like a carcass left to rot. Even if I was starving I wouldn't touch anything that bright green and oozing. There's gotta be some kinda food around here. I've been hearing hunts going on all the time at night. Don't know what kind of animal howls like that, but it's definitely a satisfied howl. Maybe those dogs weren't jerking my tail when they said they knew the ways of this swamp.
- Damn it, just because I mention you dogs doesn't mean you can show up in my face! For the last time, I don't give a crap that you need a pack leader. I'm not like you. I have a pulse for one thing. And you sniff me again, it's gonna be the last thing you ever smell! You guys really are pathetic. You can't even leave your mark on a tree without your hind leg falling off. And what the hell are you doing using each other as chew toys. Try that on me and I'll bite your face off. Go dig a hole or whatever it is you like doing and go bury yourselves. You're close enough to the grave enough as it is. I don't need rotten dogs like you chasing after me like I was some kind of fetch toy.
... And for cryin' out loud, don't roll over and beg like that. No one's going to pet your belly when it's covered with maggots like that. Damn pups.

Character: Nill
Series: DOGS
Character Age: 14
Canon: In a world where mobsters run the streets and genetic engineering was once the peak of human technology, four people struggle to understand and come to peace with their violent pasts while not getting messily killed in the present.
Nill is not one of these four people. But she was rescued by one. Genetic engineering gave Nill a small pair of wings... which made her very valuable in the eyes of those in the business of human trafficking. She was saved by one Haine Rammsteiner, who then sent her to live with a blind bishop in a church. Nill is a very sweet girl, if a little meek. She's also something of a pushover, but she's always willing to comfort people and is very happy when her friends are.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Nill is mute; she has neither a written nor a spoken voice. So, I will do my best to portray in this app the way she would be played in camp, should I be voted in.
Sample Post:
[In the middle of camp there is a young girl waving, seemingly trying to catch people's attention.
She is succeeding! A group of zombies approach. She smiles nervously at them, then she lifts a hand, signaling them to stop. With a stick, she draws the following on the dirt
; next to it, she draws a big question mark. She stands back and waits.
After a couple of minutes of nothing happening, she sighs and draws a few generic stick figures. One of the zombies points in the direction of the Mess Hall, but just as it does, its hand falls off. The girl jumps back and covers her mouth with a hand in surprise. She sees the zombie struggling to get its hand back. She gets closer to it, bending down and picking the hand up-- looking only a little sick-- She gives the hand to its rightful owner and nods once at the zombie's grunting. Then she turns towards the Mess Hall and starts walking, keeping her hands close to her chest and looking very alert.
Eventually she comes to a stop in front of a tree where a toucan is perched. She stares at it, then gasps, covers her ears and steps back. The toucan crows several times before she dares to step forward again. Once she does the toucan flies down, landing in front of her. She reaches out shyly to pet it. A few seconds later, the following message is broadcast through the toucan's psychic network:]

Character: Kanda Yū
Series: D.Gray-man
Character Age: 18
Canon: At the end of the nineteenth century, humankind is facing imminent doom at the hands of the Millenium Earl and the Vatican is doing its best to stand in his way. With its organization, the Black Order, Exorcists are sent out to fight the Earl and his minions. While this would normally prove to be a task too great for ordinary humans, the Exorcists have the ability to wield weapons made of Innocence, an ancient and divine substance, which gives them that extra boost of badassery. But even with this mysterious power, it's still going to be a long, hard battle.
Kanda, one of the Exorcists, is rude, abrasive, and pretty much hates everyone and everything. He wants nothing more than to do his job and be left alone. Unafraid to speak his mind, he has no problem telling you you're being annoying and to shut up and go away before he kills you. But despite the fact that he's a raging dick, he's still loyal to his job, his purpose and his friends, although you'd just as soon catch him dead than hear him call them that.
Sample Post:
When HQ told me they were sending me to America, they didn't mention how much of a dump this town was going to be. I've been to some pretty terrible places in my time, but this? This is just downright disgusting. The stench of rot and death is almost overwhelming. The name seems somewhat appropriate, at least, but that doesn't change the fact that there are going to be words exchanged when I get back. And by "words" I mean death threats.
Whoever built this place was either seriously daft in the head, or just plain sick, though. The barbed wire and rundown cabins make it look like a prison camp more than anything else. It's like they weren't even trying to hide the fact that this whole place screams bad news. And the decor definitely leaves something to be desired, too. I really could have lived the rest of my life without seeing painted portraits of whatever that thing is in the lake doing . . . whatever the hell it's doing to what I would imagine are hapless victims. Not that I care. It's probably their own fault for getting caught, anyway. But if the Earl is behind it, he's really losing his touch.
Still, as long as I'm here, I'm going to do my job. Besides, the faster I can complete my mission, the faster I can get the hell out. That tree with the creepy, slithering vines looks like it's been eying me for the past ten minutes and I don't want the smell of this place to stick to my hair, let alone my uniform. Might as well ask the . . . locals to see if there's any information I can learn before I dispatch them. Seriously, who fills a town with zombies?
Hey! You undead wastes of space over there. I've got a few questions I need answered, so you're going to tell me what I need to know. If you do? I'll be nice and just break your legs. If you don't? I'm going to cut you into little pieces. It's really just that simple. --Oh, and by the way? Don't touch the hair. The next one of you that tries gets a sword through the eye, because I'm just that nice.
So let's get started, shall we?

Character: Kanda Yuu
Series: D. Gray-man
Character Age: 18
Canon: In the 18th century, there are creatures called Akuma that terrorize humanity under the reign of one who calls himself the Millennium Earl. Akuma cannot be killed by anything but Innocence, a substance that can merge with objects or humans that have the right compatibility. Those that have an affinity for wielding Innocence are called exorcists, and they work for the Vatican to oppose the Millennium Earl in hopes of saving the world from complete darkness.
Kanda Yuu is a withdrawn and irritable workaholic exorcist with social issues. He takes pride in what he does and how he does it, believing in efficiency. Kanda is cold, cynical, and more likely to ellipse and scowl at you than hold conversation. Kanda is not a nice person and will make you regret opening your mouth if you annoy him enough, though he doesn't deliberately harm innocent people. Consider yourself lucky if he, rather than drawing steel, only settles for yelling at you. Believing that getting attached to others will bring unwanted responsibility and let emotions cloud one's judgment, Kanda has a tight control on his emotions and claims that others' worries are not his business. And he won't hesitate to tell you when you're being a moron. His Innocence fits him quite well as it’s a sword named Mugen; Kanda is straight-forward and sharp, willing to cut through a situation and get straight to the point. Having Kanda at your side is one of the best things that could happen to you. He is not your friend, and will probably never consider you such, but he is strong and fights until the very end, staying loyal to the side he’s on.
Sample Post: While apparently someone thinks it’s hilarious to keep people from leaving when they don’t want to stay, I’m not going to sit around on my ass and wait for explanations. I have nothing against fighting monsters but this is ridiculous dammit! I don’t have time to waste on a camp where I get manhandled upon arrival and kept from leaving with my sanity still intact. This might be a recommendation from my superiors, but when faced with nothing more than drooling adversaries and talking animals, my faith in them drops tenfold. Who the hell leaves a note to me in the care of a giant octopus? If it concerns me, give it to me before sending me somewhere. It would keep from wasting my time having to hack off the arms attacking me. This is stupid.
…You’d think that headquarters wasn’t made up of a bunch of mindless idiots, but deciding this place is a good spot to send exorcists “for training purposes”? I’m not going to stay around playing with some creatures who just gurgle their words out. I’ve just about had enough of the living dead. The last experiment of our mindless so-called head supervisor filled that slot perfectly well without it having to happen again. I’m going to have a very thorough talk with whoever came up with this. This is no work for an exorcist. It’s not even training. They should send finders here to get some backbone instead.
“Camp Fuck You Die”? What kind of stupid name is that. I thought the science department had more brains than this. It’s really a brilliant idea to build an order-less camp by a dangerous swamp and a lake with monsters in it. I haven’t found anything like an exit, and I don't appreciate being kept from leaving. I’ve had my share of morons - I know too many - and their moments, and this is no better.
--Oi! I was talking! Damn squid! Get your tentacles away from me!
…I warned you. Don’t come crying to me because of this shit. Damn it… why am I talking to a damn octopus. This place is insane. Tch. You there. Good , you can talk. Finally someone who doesn’t demand brains. I suppose there’s some kind of more civil place around here than just this dump with zombies. I’m also looking for some others who should be around. I want satisfactory answers, so don’t bother if you have nothing interesting to add. No, I have no idea where this is and don’t walk up to them if you’re afraid of being eaten! Idiot. Don’t think I’m going out of my way to rescue anyone without the brains to actually listen to warnings just because I carry a sword.
I was not talking about “brains” like that, you heap of mindless drones! Stop following me around! I have no time fo--- LET GO OF MY HAIR!
