7th Headshot || Video

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Sniper appears on the feed, human again and smoking, a bottle of beer on the table in front of him. So what that it's before noon? Who cares.*

Glad that nonsense is over with. Thought I'd let th' lot 'f you know I'm gonna be gone for a few days, so you don't think that bloody spook killed me or nothin'. But I uh.. seem t' be missin' some 'f my stuff. Cassidy? You seen an ammo pouch? 'Bout this big *He holds his hands about four inches apart.* Leather an' full 'f ammo?

Roight.

Sounds good mate. Be there in a bit. Gotta get my things together.

*Not going to mention why he wants it back AT ALL.*

[video]

[hasstandards]

See you in a bit, then.

[And RED won't mention why he knew the pouch was worth keeping safe in the first place.]

*BLU hangs up and gets to work gathering all the things he'll need for his trip. He's not planning on being gone for that long, but still .. best to be prepared.

When he shows up at RED base he stowes his backpack against the wall, along with a long flexible fishing rod, and knocks on the door. He's glad for the coat Chibi gave him, he can barely feel the chill in the air with it on.*

[hasstandards]

[There's a minute or so that passes before RED finally gets to the door and pulls it open. He steps aside so BLU can come in. He spots the pack by the wall.]

Fishing?

[action]

[bye_to_yer_head]

Yeah. Gonna see what th' ocean has to offer in cold weather. Maybe somethin' good.

Sides, think I should get away fer a bit, who knows when that damn spook will start thinkin' my back looks loike a good place t' store his knives. Anyway, here ya go.

*He hands over the knife, wrapped in a small scrap of cloth.*

[action]

[hasstandards]

Hn. I can't say I don't envy you, bein' able to get away.

[There's an extra shudder at the end there as he thinks, knowing that if BLU is back to normal, chances are Pyro is as well. There's a conversation coming he'd rather avoid entirely.

He takes the knife and tucks it into the crook of his sling, unfolding the fabric and pulling out the blade for examination. His eyes trail the markings down the side.]

She's a real beaut, mate. Fine craftsmanship.

Re: [action]

[bye_to_yer_head]

You'll be mended in no toime. Then ya can go hide in th' woods an' whatnot.

*But BLU knows what he means. Being helpless... it was making BLU uncomfortable just thinking about it.*

Thanks. I've had a bit 'f practice.

*Meaning he's made hundreds of them before. There's not a whole lot to do when you live alone and ignore the team.*

Re: [action]

[hasstandards]

I expect you have. Ya don't learn to make somethin' this nice overnight.

[Tucking the knife back into the fabric, he hobbles to the den, collecting BLU's ammo pouch from the coffee table and bringing it back. He hands it over.]

Not that I don't think Cassidy would've been careful with your things, but I know I'd've been a mite antsy if it were me.

[And given that his gun was in the hands of a complete stranger and he still had no idea where it was or what condition it was in, he could relate.]

Re: [action]

*He takes the offered pouch, flipping the flap over to check the contents.*

Half expected t' find this full 'f tea leaves or something loike that.

*Sure. That's what he was looking for. Tea leaves.*

Yea she seems nice enough, an' stable compared t' some 'f the other people round here, but that don't mean I want other people holdin' onto my stuff.

*He almost smirks as he ties the pouch back onto his belt, feeling more at ease once the comforting weight of it was hanging against his leg.*

An' hows th' new housemate?

Re: [action]

[hasstandards]

[Don't think RED didn't see that checking of the contents, BLU.]

I've tried to put myself to sleep and forget he's here. Forget a lot of things, really.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He saw nothing.*

Forget a Spy is around? How much morphine did you take?

[hasstandards]

Not enough, apparently. I still remember him makin' us eggs.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I think th' important part is he didn't poison us.

[hasstandards]

Right. I wouldn't put it past him yet, though. A spook is still a spook.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Well he's a lot less loikely t' poison you than me. And considerin' th' fact I was a dog he could 'f killed me easy plenty of times.

Especially since I mussed up his suit and bit his shoes.

[hasstandards]

He deserved it, I'm sure.

Right odd, you bein' a dog. I'm not complaining, though I do wonder why only some people were affected.

[bye_to_yer_head]

'Course he did.

An' it's a good thing ya weren't affected considering your option moight have been t' wake up as Spy.

*He shuddered. He'd take being a dog over that anyday.*

Guess bein' a dogs not that bad.

[hasstandards]

Eugh. When ya put it that way, I realize I oughtta be happy with my good fortune. At least a dog isn't the worst thing you could've been.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Least ya weren't around when I got turned into a badger an' Pyro troid t' adopt me.

[hasstandards]

[He looks mildly horrified.]

What is it with this place and animals? No wonder she likes it here.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Hell if I know. I dunno what that was, seemed t' be just me, but I was also only a few inches big so I couldn't work the comm.

*He snorts irritably.*

Of course she does. An' then we get stuck here with a bunch 'f animals and we can't even shoot 'em!

[hasstandards]

It's like a cruel punishment aimed just at us. At least you ain't gotta live with her, though I suppose I should be grateful she hasn't brought every talkin' animal in sight here.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I'm sure she's gettin' to it. Lucky you. Yer own personal zoo. And a Spy t' boot.

[hasstandards]

[His look of displeasure knows no bounds.]

Just one more reason I'm out of here the moment I'm well enough.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Well don't get yerself hurt while I'm gone. Everytoime ya go hobblin' around on that leg is another week yer stuck here.
