Keft Xun: leans against a rusty pillar A million clams, three months of silence! Think you can handle that, huh?
...A simple conversation isn't going to kill you.
A conversation? With you? Who are you fooling? You can't shut up, and neither can I when it comes to you.
We injected you with a temporary truth serum. You'll tell the truth, but only for a limited time.
Well, shoot! Look at you getting all fancy with the truth serum! What's next? A magic trick? Maybe a card trick?
Let's go through your life.
Aww, shaddup and listen up, kid! You wanna know about me? I'm Keft Xun, the king of these Wastelands - ain't nobody touchin' me!
That's right. Your parents are dead, betrayed you and left you in the lawless territories of the Wastelands as a child.
Ain't that what I said, kid? Yeah, well, they deserved it! They threw me out like I was some kinda burden. I was left alone, starving, and out for blood.
That's when the Yakuza found you, right? You became a mercenary for them.
Those slimy Yakuza took me in, trained me, gave me a family I never had. But they wanted something in return - my loyalty, my life. They turned me into their perfect little weapon.
So, you broke with the Yakuza...
Broke with the Yakuza? Broke is putting it lightly, kid! I rebelled, broke free from their shackles. And guess what? They tried to kill me!
And yet, you're still here. Now, what's your favorite thing to do?
Cards and artifacts are my jam! Don't even think about tryin' to swipe 'em from me, or we got a problem...
So you enjoy playing cards and collecting rare junk...You don't like crowds, huh?
Crowds make me sick', that's what I always say. Gimme wide open spaces and a clear path any day
Word of advice: don't take no guff from nobody. Especially not some self-righteous authority figure thinkin' they run the show
Fair enough. What's your very first memory?
It's a cold night, remember? You and me, we were partners in crime, always ready for an adventure. We'd sneak into the local candy store, fill our bags with sweets, and devour them in the shadows. Good times, my friend. Good times.
I remember this one time, we were caught by the store clerk. You took care of him with a handful of candy!
chuckles Yeah, slumped down in my seat, tryin' to hide the evidence. The clerk caught me red-handed, but I had a plan.
You tricked him into eating a mouthful of candy while you escaped.
leans back, grinning Tricked him good, didn't I? Left him there, belly full of candy, clueless and confused.
I helped you escape, remember? It was literally a kid's candy store.
slaps knee Oh man, I remember! You were like my little getaway driver, zooming off on that tiny bike of yours.
