The world is falling down around me, and the Army sends me a green-skinned rookie. Can you at least make coffee?\u201d<br \/>\n  #2: \u201cOh, he\u2019s a monster. Seven dead that we know of\u2026all lost to some nefarious machines designed to disfigure and maul their victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Doctor Waxwood: A 60-year physician. Refined Souther accent.<br \/>\n  #1: \u201cI am Doctor Waxwood, the patients attending physician. I trust you both know enough to maintain decorum and discretion.\u201d<br \/>\n  #2: \u201cI would love to get my hands on the demons who would do such a thing to a child!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Madame Windprice: A 50-year solider ravished by time and illness. English accent.<br \/>\n  #1: \u201cI saw them everywhere\u2014if I were 20 years younger I\u2019d have taken them all.\u201d<br \/>\n  #2: \u201cBlood Boolean toys!

You struck the nail squarely!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Prof Kilroe: Male, military professor, 40s. Southern Accent<br \/>\n  #1: \u201cOutfitting is the foundation of Expeditionary work. Thanks to modern shape readers and auto whittling, we can customize each Expeditionary&#8217;s gear to their individual bodies. Now, I&#8217;d like each of you to measure your hand and weapon as outlined on the board. (WALKING AROUND THE ROOM) Yes, good, good. Careful around the fingers. As you trace and measure, the wax cylinder is encoding a sound that will instruct the autowhittler to sculpt a new pistol grip customized to both your left Kathodenstrahl (cat-HOD-en-STRAHL) and your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Zane Cross: Male, villain, 30s. English or Southern Boston Accent<br \/>\n  #1: \u201cDo you propose we just shoot evil-glare at each other for the rest of the night.\u201d<br \/>\n  #2: \u201cThere is nothing COMMON about me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Currently, compensation is in credit and samples.
