PheeEEeeeewWWW—
(The frigid wind continues to howl outside.)
Why do those guys get to celebrate Christmas in a warm and cozy house, while I have to deal with these puny Corrupted out here in the cold?!
I'm not even breaking a sweat...!
(A Corrupted goes flying into the air.)
But I can't even have a rest...!
(She smashes another Corrupted.)
One after another. Wave after wave. They're showing no signs of stopping!
Rgh—! Grawrrr—!
Stupid, stupid Corrupted! You're gonna blow out my eardrums!
If I have to battle an Ascendant, that'll get my blood pumping.
But I'm bored out of my mind fighting these weaklings!
If Lucia hadn't practically begged me for help, only an idiot would come to a place like this in the middle of the night.
Grrgghh—Rarrghhh—
Finally afraid, eh? Good. Saves me the effort.
Looks like I can finally see the silhouette of the clock from here. Hallelujah!
Damn... I'd kill to go back and stretch out in the warm cabin...
But as long as I ring that old bell and shoot into the sky, I'll get some brownie points with the commandant!
And that means I'll beat Lucia for a change. Then again...
When Lucia told me she wanted to throw a Christmas party with everyone and needed my help, I had absolutely no desire to...
...I'd have rather stuck a needle in my eye!
(Static)
But I eavesdropped on her conversation with Lee just to make sure they didn't do anything stupid.
When I heard her say something about "Operation Celebrate Christmas to Cheer Up Liv", I about laughed my *** off!
What a stupid and boring plan!
...Karen... Karenina...
If Lucia hadn't sounded so pathetic, I could've been warm and cozy in Babylonia's war room right now.
...But seeing as Liv is a friend, I guess it doesn't hurt to make an exception every now and then.
This sorta grunt work is best left to Lucia, but she's just trying to pull the strings. She really pisses me off!
...Karen—!
AH! L-L-L-LUCIA—?!
You've been mumbling to yourself.
W-what? How long have you been on the channel?!
I've been calling your name for the past few minutes.
Do you get off on eavesdropping or something?!
...Hey... The signal is cut... Karen... Hurry up... It's almost...
Alright, alright. You're gonna make me go deaf.
Beep—
...
...Well, everything I said was true. Who cares if Lucia hears it!
...
Anyway... I need to get to the top of the clock tower...
