No. It was just the three of us when we got to New Arkansas, and we saw your guys' wanted posters and their missing person posters. We went to look for...well, any of you, but then we all got caught and dragged to their leader.
We'd already been there for like eighty years by the time we even saw our own posters. [ point-blank. ] We...never even knew about the cult or whatever you want to call it. We were just trying to survive for a while.
We were born? [ dryly. ] We did everything we needed to do to survive. Some people took that less kindly than others, even though they might've been initially nice to us in the first place. We moved around a lot. Stayed in different towns, left when we were told our stay wasn't welcomed, got chased out of other places...stuff like that.
After we ran into Knives, Vash found us and saved us. Took us to a ship and we lived there for another sixty years...didn't see him for a long time either. I think he finally stuck around for our 150th birthday.
We probably thought about it once or twice, but none of us are that great at giving up on stuff at any given moment. We kept going because there wasn't another option.
Even then. [ he hates that, still. ] I'd love to pretend we could get lucky for once and people would decide to take a week off, but this game's never been that kind.
[ and then, more seriously: ]
Stay safe tonight. We've all been through...an experience. It's probably going to change a lot of things for us going forward.
It's not just you. It's all of us. We're all a little more vulnerable and not in peak condition, so...yeah, maybe I'm a little more worried. Is that such a bad thing?

I don't know what I would've done if I'd been there for 150 years. Probably just lay down in the sand and hope it suffocated me.

What, you mean disappearing to go to Desert Planet means I'm more likely to get killed tonight?
