"Shit man, I saw Freydis the Undying, you know- that Badass branded Nord who just joined the jacks? Yeah, anyway, I saw her take down like twelve zombies on her own.

Damn, I really owe that guy, wish there were more people out there like him helping out, guess they don’t call him “Good Friend” for nothing."

It's all the talk here in my neighborhood, I've heard many talking about how smooth their skin has become after doing this. They also are the only ones that haven't gotten sick in our neighborhood. Coincidence? No, rats' guts have healing properties."
