I Don't Just Tell Anyone.wav

Hey, you're a newcomer from the Ark, right? How do I know? Haha, I can tell at a glance! I don't usually tell people this, but you seem like someone I can trust, so I'll give you some tips on surviving the Outer Rim. Listen up. People from the Ark always look around like they're sightseeing or something. You do that too, don't you? That's how you get marked as a target. It's basically screaming, "Come capture me!" Got it? So keep your eyes on what's in front and behind you. How do you watch behind you? Just pay attention to sounds and signs around you! Got it? Make sure you remember that.

Hey, you wanna know the most dangerous thing you can do here? Showing sympathy. Try helping 'cause you pity 'em? You just slapped a sign on your forehead that says, "I'm a sucker." And you think only the person you helped sees it that way? Nah, everyone who saw it will think the exact same thing. We're all screwed here, so don't go pitying anyone. Got it?

By now, you should have a rough idea that the Outer Rim ain't anything like the Ark. Let your guard down for even a second, and you're toast. You've gotta keep your wits about you just to survive. What about when you sleep, you ask? Good question! That's when you stick close to the big dog, even while you sleep. What if the big guy bullies you? Easy. While you're awake, you've gotta stay on their good side—flatter them, bring them gifts, whatever it takes. Huh? How do you find someone strong? Haha. Just keep your eyes open, and you'll spot 'em. Think you're the only one here who wants a good night's sleep? Everyone else wants it too. So what happens then? Yep, they all flock to the strong guy. So you just line up where the crowd goes and follow suit. Ah, who am I sucking up to? Haha... that's a secret!

Hmm, I think I've covered everything... What else... Ah! Almost forgot the most important thing. Do you know the one thing you absolutely need to survive in the Outer Rim? Oh, nailed it on the first try? That's right. You need a sharp eye. You're pretty smart, huh? So don't wander around like it says "newbie" on your forehead. Keep your eyes sharp, got it? Haha, quick on the uptake, aren't you? Well, then... Hmm? Wondering why I'm holding out my hand? Nothing's free around here. If you enjoyed my little speech, you gotta pay up. I never said that? Really? I don't remember... Huh? You recorded it? Oh? Really now? (Sound of something being stabbed) See? That's why I said keep your eyes sharp. Haha, thought you were smart, but I guess not. I'll take my due myself.
