I was thinking more like copious amounts of mould and leaky varkid larvae and dried out skin pizza. WAY grosser than dead things! Uh unless the dead things are meddled with in really horrid ways I guess you should see how things get all blistered and warped after they're injected with slag, it's TERRIBLE (you shouldn't actually see it it's the woooooorst)
And oh no!! I guess that's more incentive to meet back up asap if you needed any B))))
[ A LITTLE KINKIER THAN SHE WAS EXPECTING BUT, WELL, ]
Almost. It's the runoff from the eridium refinement process! It isn't as straight-up deadly to humans as liquid eridium is, but the applications are far more wide-ranging It weakens synthetic and organic materials in small amounts, making them more susceptible to damage, and in large doses can mutate or even kill creatures or people that it's applied to! Figuring out how to apply it to weapons without it eventually wrecking them as well as your enemies has been one of the more recent breakthroughs in weapons technology It's kinda been a gamechanger honestly?? We sell way more guns now because following up shots with a slag weapon with a combustive one or whatever wrecks the heck out of your enemies. So it encourages people to buy more than one! It's kinda awesome But then you get the dumber bandits doing things like sitting in barrels of it or trying to drink the stuff to make themselves more powerful and it HECKS. THEM. UPPPPPPPPP. G r o s s.

Sitting. In. It. They aren't the brightest. The local bandits aren't so much missing braincells as they're missing entire frontal lobes. There was this one group of them that I was keeping an eye on who eventually landed on the idea of drinking molten metal to reinforce their insides to make them bulletproof. THAT'S the kind of intelligence they possess. Sitting in toxic byproducts of dangerous materials doesn't seem that bad in comparison! :P
Duh! Of course you would! Most bandit gangs are just kinda bullet fodder??
oh wow that sounded sociopathic um I mean that they're just kinda disposable??
friCK THAT SOUNDED WORSE My point is that only a few of them stay organised and/or alive long enough to form a cohesive unit, let alone an active threat! The ones that DO get that far can be pretty dangerous, though I mean you'd likely curbstomp those too but not as easily as your common trash mob bandit :T
wow I really have to stop talking about them like they're just there to be shot and forgotten huh this is embarrassing
omg! Don't encourage me, that's terrible!! XO I'm sure at least SOME generic-seeming bandits are perfectly rich and textured individuals with their own lives and complex emotional reactions (does that sound convincing)
And weirdly enough bandit reproduction isn't something I'm an expert in >:P Though now that you've mentioned it I'm 100% certain that they HAVE to reproduce asexually because the alternative is so gross my brain rejects thinking about it. Violently. I've blacked out three times just writing this and there's blood spewing from my nose, it's the worst!!
ah yes i'm sure they even have bandit dreams and aspirations and little bandit children waiting at home
funny how thinking about all that makes some people more reluctant to kill
[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
oh come on how gross can it be
[ didn't they fuck Claptraps at some point it really seems more plausible that most of them weren't born locally and just dumped there by the corporations instead but who could really tell. at the very least there seemed to be an alarming lack of female bandits and general residents on the planet. ]
Doooon't! If you start talking about how they have little bandit puppies waiting for their bandit masters to return from their bandit workplaces too I'm going to die!! XOOOOOO
[ Puppies > children. Even bandit puppies. Oh god they'd probably wear little ammo belts arounbd their necks as collars and jesus fucking christ Angel is now genuinely a little bit gutted by this line of thinking. Maybe if she does get to go home she can start some kind of abandoned bandit dog sanctuary or something. Yeah.
If she wasn't so blinded by the mental image of lil psycho dogs she'd realise that most Pandoran bandits would probably eat puppies rather than kill them, but shh. BRICK HAD A PUPPY, IT COULD HAPPEN ]
SUPER gross! Like imagine if they hrrggHGHGGHHH (that's the sound of me choking on my own blood and bile and D Y I N G)
TOO LATE I'M DEAD This is my ghost speaking I'm going to barf ectoplasm at you and then tattle on you for murdering me on the next obituaries, then when everyone kills you in revenge I'm gonna tip the administrator five bucks to make sure you get a really terrible death price She's gonna turn your hair PINK >:CCCCCC
