[ WP ] The Annual Silent Protagonist Meet-up

Nathan Drake sighed as he looked around the room at the various characters before him. He had started this group as a means of coaxing words from his more silent friends. Every year since Drake's Fortune, Nathan would gather these `` silent protagonists'' at an annual meet-up, hoping that he could help them come out of their silent shells. He looked over at a nerdy-looking scientist sitting to his left. 
 
 `` Hey, Gordon. Gordo. Gordorino. Want to start discussions today?'' 
 
 Gordon Freeman sat up, slightly startled at being suddenly addressed. He looked nervously at the other people in the room, darting his eyes back and forth in hopes for someone to save him from the task of opening conversation. 
 
 `` Hup!'' 
 
 That savior would come in the form of the savior of Hyrule. Or was it Lorule? Oh, wait! It was Termina! 
 
 `` Hut, HAAAI.'' 
 
 Link only spoke in shouts, but that was a vast improvement from his original adventure's silence. Also, people strangely knew exactly what he was saying at any given time, even when he was not speaking. Maybe the triforce could give you psychic powers? 
 
 *chime* 
 
 Sitting across from Nathan, a strange creature wearing a heavy red robe suddenly sprang to life. Strange glowing symbols exploded above his head. Nathan shook his at the journeyman. 
 
 `` We all know, man. Your rerelease came out this year. But it is rude to say yours was better than Link's.'' 
 
 Over in the corner of the room, a very normal looking man, although more buff than average, started looking around at the group, as if trying to communicate. 
 
 `` Yes, Marine, we also know you have a new game coming too.'' 
 
 Poor guy, pretty much went through hell back up on Mars. But he does have a new game coming, so at least he has that going for him.
