Anonymous: are your writers particularly proud of a line they've written?
I asked, and they humbly submit:
Chris Gardiner, Head Writer:
The description for the Pre-Emptive Guinea Pig weapon:
“He insists on formality. He’s a projectile, not a conversationalist.”
Also:
“A mountain dominates this bare room: a Kilimanjaro of knotted socks - grey, black, plain, patterned. Any one of them could hold your prize.”
(Chris likes when he can write about socks.)
Cash DeCuir, Writer:
“It plays with the natures of love and eros with the uttermost delicacy and irreverence. It is filthy. Immaculate.”
“Solitary revellers pass through the alleyways below, lit only by their candles. They look like the shooting stars of the stolen sky: traversing through the dark with nothing but their own light, and the hopes and fears the world has whispered to them.”
Olivia Wood, Editor:
“The blemmigan wraps its tendrils around your fingers, buries its fleshy dome in your palm.”
(The first thing which Olivia ever wrote for a game.)
“The bulging-eyed shell gives it confidence - if not grace: it departs at speed, bouncing into a buoy waiting for repairs, recoiling off an unused engine.”
And Cash nominates, of Olivia’s:
“This urchin is a goody-two-shoes with absolutely no sense of humour. No one will complain if you take advantage of his naivety. Well, aside from the boy himself.”
