If you're not going to take care of yourself, your delusions will do it for you.

Erin's personality gets a little more balanced with each new character that moves in with her.

HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!

Edit: Actually, on that note, it'd be interesting to see what happens if a Silent Protagonist character moves in. :3

I certainly don't want to piss off a genetically enhanced super soldier that gives me that look.

What's that on the table? Smokes, some rolling papers, I thought I saw a razor blade...

Erin needs more help than even Gunny can dish out himself.

For some reason, I keep thinking that Gunny sounds like Bird Person from Rick and Morty.

Still convinced that Gunny is the part of Erin's mind that's trying to save her from her current situation.

I like the idea that every character that moves in is actually a part of her conscience manifesting itself. Rad was her first coping mechanism, basically there to keep the ol' socialization wheels turning. Gunny probably manifests her ignored guilt - although I'd be less concerned with working out, at this point, than I would be with cleaning up her apartment, taking care of the pile of late or overdue letters - and maybe getting the heck out to buy some groceries.

The comic is amusing but I am left wondering... Where is Murderbat in all of this? Scooping out new crimes for him and Gunny to fight?

Y'know, I always imagined him with the voice of Lt. Smith from Red vs Blue... but now that you say that, Bird Guy's voice also fits scarily well.

Also, because I like talking about this type of stuff, I also hear Roger Craig Smith as Rad (for obvious reasons) and Monica Rial as this version of Erin.

Maybe he was scared off by the... food(?)... that Erin was eating.

It occurs to me that Erin actually looks pretty damn amazing for someone who just sits around getting stoned all day and who's diet consists of leftover Chinese food.

I believe now we're going to test out Gunny's crotch armor. It appears they don't teach you to never piss off a woman in Superhuman Soldier School

I was thinking the same thing, actually, though looking at her again, compared to her CM self this version actually looks somewhat emaciated. Her eyes have that line effect that reminds me of when I was anorexic as a kid, and her limbs are really scrawny. I imagine that her new reclusive lifestyle probably means that, while all she eats is junk, she's eating a lot less of it.

Hence her love of obscenely old takeout, perhaps: a trait that even the most slovenly of slackers tends to lack. XD

To the totally untrained eye, you understand..:
I see lighter; packet of skins; grinder (lid off and sitting to the side); and something collecting the ground weed plus half the last doob. Gotta put it somewhere when you're having some scran.
