In terms of words that could come out of Drifter's mouth, in all honesty that was low grade on the bizarreness charts.
But then there's that comment about how odd things are. Well, most of the building seemed to accept it by now. Maybe not accept, but have worked out how to deal with it.
"There comes a point in a lifetime worth of surprises that you just get wore out bein' surprised all the time." He thinks of the last time he really panicked when he was surprised. Waking up, dressed in nice clothes, laid to rest like someone at one time gave a shit about him. Somebody he'd been dead too long to bother finding again.
He thinks of the Ghost talking to him, telling him he needed to run. Telling him that he was his Chosen. He'd gotten resurrected, killed, and brought back again in the span of thirty seconds because the first sight of the damn thing had startled him right into an oncoming enemy vehicle.
"I think I just ran out of surprise. Decided to focus my anger, too, narrow it down to a bullet or a blade rather than a big ol' short-lived bomb. Easier to carry that way, and less volatile. Just like a real weapon."
