**Burnout**\*A crowd of strange men clad in leather speak in obscenities to each other\***Nowak**Whoa, uhh...**Bosch**Nowak? What did you just walk us into?**Nowak**Hi.......What are you guys up to?**Zippers**\*Incoherent muffled speaking\***Burnout**\*The tallest of the three slaps him in the back of the head to shut him up\*We're explorers.Of the terrible and beautiful things that lurk inside.**Nowak**Oh!Well, we're explorers as well!**Bosch**\*Bosch signals you to shut up\***Nowak**Do you guys want to come with us?**Bosch**\*Bosch slumps in embarrassment\***Burnout**You misunderstand.You're still invested in this physical world.You wish to explore the thing we're working to escape.**Goggles**Yeah you would-**Burnout**\*With a look, he silences the others\*I can see in your eyes that you're but a pathetic whelp.And like a whelp, you desperately suckle for attention from anyone more competent you can find.Run along, I'm sure whatever abomination turns you inside out will have lots of fun playing with your gaudy bones.\*With a chuckle the group turns away from you\***Nowak**...**Bosch**Nowak, let's just go. He is just going to insult you again.
Choosing "I think you should join us.":

**Nowak**You should come with us.There are more amazing things out there than what you'll find here.I promise that!**Bosch**\*Sigh\*Nowak...**Burnout**\*You don't receive a drop of attention\*\*This conversation is truly over\*
Attempting to talk to them again:

**Nowak**Hey!**Burnout**\*The group ignores you\*
Choosing "\*Sucker punch him\*":

**Burnout**\*Incoherent muffled laughter\***Nowak**\*Whispering\* Gaudy?\*You clench your hand into a fist\***Bosch**Nowak?**Nowak**\*You start walking toward the trio\***Bosch**This is a bad idea!Abort mission!Abort mission!**Nowak**\*As the moment arrives, you swing, aiming to strike the tallest in the back of the head\***Burnout**\*He turns effortlessly and catches your fist with his remaining arm before the strike can land\*\*There's an interest deep in his eye\*Passionate, aren't you?\*It's nigh invisible but you can tell he's impressed\*You were just going to take on all three of us?**Nowak**\*You match his glare\***Burnout**You didn't think this through at all, did you?**Nowak**...**Burnout**Just all emotion?...\*He releases your hand\*Hmmm.You're an idiot.But I think you're the kind of idiot I've been looking for.Lead the way, and I think I'll follow.**Goggles**What?!**Zippers**\*Muffled\***Goggles**What about us?!**Burnout**That is definitively and absolutely not my problem.**Goggles**Seriously?**Burnout**I said SCRAM!**Goggles**\*On cue, they begin to flee\***Burnout**Alright golden boy.Let's go find out how you die.
Meeting them afterwards:

**Nowak**Hey, are you still willing to tag along-**Burnout**\*A threatening grin widens on his face\*Yeah, I'll tag along.
Meeting them afterwards, with a full party:

**Nowak**Hey, are you still willing to tag along-**Burnout**Scram, I don't dig your crowd.Ditch some of the losers, then we'll talk.

## Trivia

* Burnout was designed him to counteract a very very common complaint that all the “good” party members took too long to unlock. He’s kinda like Azazel where he seems really good and is unlocked early but falls apart when you need him most.
