FICTION | The unsaid things stuck in Ryder's throat

This is for fun, people.

Select an occasion in which you wished Ryder had replied another character in a different manner. You conversation can go any way you want, not only the oppressive Renegade way. Try to build a character upon Ryder, and not making he sound like a completely different character; although, if you have an urge to extrapolate from time to time, like I did below, be my guest. Be creative. Try writing one situation per post, and let others reply in the meantime, ok? So we can have many people contributing. ^_^ (adding to it, it could be a conversation prompted automatically during a combat, like a comment after Liam says the thing of shooting someone in the face, for example).

You're having that chat with Sloane, disarms the guard and points your gun at Sloane. She points hers at you.

"Drop you gun, or I'll put you down."

 

New Reply:

Shoots her left eye, before she can do anything more than a rat-like squeal and collapse on the floor, her body deforming like a flailing snake, distorted by unknown forces. Ryder turns on the spot, drops the weapon and walks slowly, whilst everything on the background ignites in flames of hell.

    Something that crossed my mind these days.

    ________________

    Liam confesses he gave out information regarding the Nexus to an unreliable source by mere whim and misjudgement.

    CONFRONTATION TRIGGERED. PRESS E TO KICK LIAM'S BUTTOCKS!

    "You what?"

    "Yeah, yeah, I know it right?"

    "No, you completely don't know anything," replies Ryder annoyed. "You jeopardized Nexus because of a whim? Are you insane?"

    "I can make for it, I just need to think!" Liam replies exasperated, with that awful accent.

    "You needed to think before doing the stupid sh*t you just did, Liam!" Ryder spats back, turning his back on Liam and sighing, face tired of all that recklessness. "No matter if good or bad comes from it when you don't know the outcome, you simply cannot play with EVERYONE'S safety as if it's a personal issue, as easy as moving your couch around!"

    "Sorry, Pathfinder, I didn't mean it to happen! And so far, nothing has happened!"

    "Nothing we know about, right?" Ryder retorts disappointed. "You're a lost case of bursts of stupid ideas that almost never turn out useful in the end! Sort this mess alone and don't do any more stupid decisions on your own, specially when they involve the welfare of thousands of lives!"

    "Sorry, Pathfinder." Liam mumbles faintly.

    "And be ready for the next mission. If I really can count on you not doing anything foolish until then." Ryder finishes turning his back on Liam and his pile of empty bottles of beer, the useless muck.

    CONFRONTATION RESULT

    Liam's Loyalty mission is cancelled. And now he can die.

    ________________

    Yeah, Liam, think before you fart next time. I'm am watching you.

    Lisana T'lesso, The Ice Runner...

    Spoiler

    Lisana T'lesso: "I'm Lisana T'lesso.  Because of you, I have the best job in the galaxy."

    Ryder: "Oh yeah?  And what job would that be?  Wait.  Let me guess.  Weightlifter?  Oh no, a patent office specialist?  Andromeda mime?"

    Lisana T'lesso: <laughs> "No to all of those.  Though you mentioning mime makes me think I have the second best job in the galaxy.  But I'm an ice runner.  I get to dodge the Scourge and outrun the Kett to bring water to the colonies"

    Ryder: "Oh I was so close."

    Lisana T'lesso: <laughing into a smile> "You were.  You were so close that I wondered if you use your S.A.M. to help you out with the guess."

    Both laughing, Ryder: "You caught me.  But no, that does sound exciting and a bit noble."

    Lisana T'lesso: "I don't know about noble but it is a rush."

    Ryder: "Of course it is, you're putting yourself in danger to help others.  Doesn't get much more noble than that even by Angaran standards."

    Lisana T'lesso: "Hmm, when you put it that way, your job isn't too different.  Well, I mean... what you do is more important.  Of course."

    Ryder: "Oh me?  Nah.  My team on the other hand."

    Ryder smiles and Lisana laughs before smiling back and responding, Lisana: "Still, I bet you have some stories."

    Ryder: "I bet we both do."

    Lisana T'lesso: "We should trade a few.  Over a drink or 4?"

    Ryder: "I wouldn't mind.  I'd say Nexus, but I think a place like Kadara might be more your scene from what I've heard about that planet."

    Lisana T'lesso grins, pleasantly surprised by the suggestion: "Oooh, you're going to be trouble aren't you Pathfinder?"

    Ryder teases playfully with a half grin and feigning disappointment: "You think I'm trouble?  Does that mean I won't be meeting you there?"

    Lisana T'lesso scoffs as her omni-tool beeps and flashes to alert her to another delivery that needs to be made: <scoffs> "The Scourge couldn't stop me from making that meeting."  she continues to speak as she walks by Ryder intentionally brushing her body against Ryder's as she does, "You just make sure you make it there.  I'll bring the ice."

    ------------

    Okay, yeah.  I know I have a different video game love of my life every day... few hours... 45 mins or so.  But hey.  The game heart wants, what the game heart wants... until it wants something else.

    Liam's Loyalty Mission, you and your squad mates are holding on the ledge for dear life not to be airlocked.

    VILLAIN REACTION. PRESS E TO KILL LIAM!

    Ryder unholsts his gun, barely able to himself with one hand, but worth it. Shooting Liam's elbow, Ryder glimpses one last one upon Liam's stupid dumbstruck face as he flies alway. The pressure door closes at the exact time he's going through it, splitting the b@stard in half.

    Peebee: Should I move from my quarters ... ?

    Vetra: Is this your way to say someone has screwed up?

    Drack: Damn, kid, I mean, Ryder.

    Cora: What the hell was that, Ryder?!

     

    Ryder: He didn't hold me the last playthrough.

    Die, Liam ... die.

    Still, a worthy choice, and a fun scene. Kudos!❤️
