Hmm?

(At first, he doesn't recognise the woman walking up to him. But there's really only one woman who knows his name, so by default, he figures her out.)

Py? That you? Lord!

(Engie straightens up and smiles back at her.)

Am I glad ta see you!

[How the fuck did he know it was her? Maybe she'd been drunk around him. Getting drunk wasn't an uncommon occurrence.]

What's up, Engie? How goes yer... structure there. Can't really see what it is.

Well, I'm tryin' ta build a sentry here. Got me some spare parts and tools, so I'm tryin' ta prepare myself for Halloween, in case things get bad. Things are gettin' a long though, so I should have a sentry up in a bit. Just gotta do some tweakin' with the programmin' so that we don't shoot anyone who's dressed in blue.

No idea, but I heard tons of problems happen around holidays in this crazy town, so I'm workin' on protectin' the house. I might get some help from the lady of the house as well, so that my sentries will only shoot if there's danger around.

By the way Py, you got any of your gear back? If not, I could rustle somethin' up for ya.

Fair 'nough. Why, who's your "wife"?

I got my suit back, as you can see. An' I remake my oven when I need a flamethrower, so I'm fine f'r now. Thanks, though, Engie.

Never heard of her. But alright. And will do! I wonder what the town's got planned for us on halloween, don't you?

Probably nothin' nice. That's the general impression I'm gettin'.

Would ya mind handin' me the hammer over there, Py? This here piece of metal is bein' real stubborn.

Generally is, I think. That's the fun 'f it, if there is any.

Sure. Which one? There's a couple.

Well, I don't know about fun...'pecially if it's dangerous. And it's the one on the right, with the smaller head than the others.

(Engie, they look all the saaaaaaaame~)

There's respawn here, too. 'Sides, you haven't been here for long anyway. An' alright.

[She's turned her oven into a flamethrower, you think she'd know basic tools.]

Thank you Py.

(He takes the hammer from her and continues on working. He has to raise his voice over the sound of the metal being worked on, but they're close enough for her to be able to make out what he's saying.)

Well, respawn or no, I'd still like ta stay as alive as I can. Dyin' may sound cheap, but who's ta say that one day it will be permanent. Back home, there were some rumors I heard from summa the other mercenaries from different bases; summa them involved Respawn actin' up and generally just fryin' the people that went through it.

True. Better to not die anyway, it's a waste 'f time. And wait, so their respawn fucked up an' killed the people it was respawnin'?

Yeap. It was an accident; apparently one of the fuses blew up and the machine shut down. And it wasn't only just killin' people...I should probably not tell ya what it is though. This is all just hearsay, and I don't know anyone who's actually beein in those bases when all that happened.
