1 ➸ [Action + Video]

[hasstandards]

Having spent nearly half a day sulking in the wilderness that surrounds the city, Sniper finally caved to his major vice of modern man: coffee. He wasn't ready to actually go back- he was still struggling to come to terms with the fact that he was in the future, his parents were long-dead, and there were voices and talking animals appearing on the

*BLU had been frowning down at some pieces of his broken Machina when he hears that distinctive sound and his hat goes flying, now tinged yellow and slightly moist. Instantly he pushes himself backwards over the ridge of the roof and presses himself flat to the building to avoid having the same thing happen to his head.

Without taking his eyes off the skyline he reaches into his ammo pouch and pulls out his scope. It might not have a gun attached to it anymore but at least it still functions. Very, very cautiously he moves himself up to the ridgeline of the roof and aims his scope in the direction of where he thinks the shot came from. He sees a familiar tinge of RED and ducks down instantly. Crap. The other Sniper would show up when he doesn't have a gun.*

[RED adjusts himself on the limb to give BLU a wave, his face a little more visible now. He laughs again after a second of watching the other Sniper duck behind the ridge.

Another moment passes, then another; RED maintains his watch through the scope, though his smile fades as the man fails to reappear. He mumbles to himself:]

Any time now, you can get your gun. I'll wait.

[video right back at ya]

*Well BLU here has a problem. The way he gets onto the roof is by climbing through the bedroom window which is on the front of the townhouse he lives in. Which just so happens to be the side that's facing RED. Also the backside of the roof that he's on now doesn't have as steep of an incline which means that it's farther for him to jump down. He's not sure if he could jump off a second story roof without injuring himself.

Great, he's trapped on his own roof by a man with infinite patience just waiting to shoot him off of it.

Just then he hears some muffled sounds coming from his comm, he pulls it out without looking at it, still keeping his eye on the roofline, fully expecting it to be Pyro telling him she made corndogs or wondering if he wants to come see some stupid trick her disgusting pet slug can do. Then he looks down at the screen and groans audibly.*

Bloody 'ell..

[video, i.e. WHAT WITCHCRAFT IS THIS]

[hasstandards]

[RED looks to his device, his apprehension apparent. He's pretty sure that was the voice of the other Sniper coming through it that time rather than some music or a talking raccoon. He looks through his scope one more time to make sure BLU hasn't moved before grabbing the communicator, bringing it before him.

Oh look, he was right. Now how had that sheila in the dress told him to use this thing, again? Maybe he'll just give talking to it a try, like a camera.]

Fancy meetin' you here. You gonna take all day, or did you miss enough shots already that you're out of bullets?

[Video] SHE TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT.

Mmmrphh mffft mnnprhhn mphh. Mnhmph mprhnnft mnn hudda mprft mmmnnnph mpnnnhhnnn!?

[video] HE'S NOT SO GOOD WITH THE LISTENING COMPREHENSION OKAY

[hasstandards]

[He's startled again on his perch as another video comes in. This thing is bloody complicated. Glancing at the screen, he can see it's the mumbling arsonist. At least he's a RED one.

RED leans the device on his arm so he can keep his balance and a watch through the scope.]

It's nice you're happy to see me, but I'm busy.

[Video] or understanding Pyro

[notintehkitchen]

[Wagging a finger at him, she glares through her gas mask and gives him a very disappointed look (not that he can tell).]

MMRPPPHH MNNN!!!!!

[video] Major Accomplishment of Day 1 (Technically 3): Do Exactly What He Was Told Not to Do

[hasstandards]

[He gives the screen an irritated look. Did that girl mention there was a Pyro here? He can't remember. Too busy concerning himself with the many ways his life had been trashed in the span of a single respawn. No, he's not bitter at all.]

If you're asking if I'm coming to wherever it is you bludgers congregate in this godforsaken place, the answer is no. I said I'm busy. You can mumble at me through that awful mask of yours later.

[And now he's trying to figure out how to hang up on you. Oh wait, there's the button.]

[Video]

[hapless_medic]

[A girl with dog ears pops up on the screen, looking concerned.]

You're not shooting anything in the city are you?

[video]

[hasstandards]

[Nearly jumping a third time as his concentration is drawn from the scope back to the device against his arm. Bloody hell, who are these people and where do they keep coming from?]

No. [Snerk.] Not at the moment, anyway.

[Video]

[hapless_medic]

[From all over the city of course.]

You can't go around the city shooting things though...

[video]

[hasstandards]

[Like cockroaches. Except they're girls with dog ears. He actually glances at the screen a second, mildly confused.]

I'm, er... not.

[Back to his scope. Talking raccoons, and now this.]

[Voice]

[chibibrushheir]

[Barkbark bark.]

[video]

[hasstandards]

[He almost drops the communicator as it starts barking at him. Either it does that for God knows what possible reason, or a dog has a phone.

No, that second notion is definitely crazier than the first. It's got to be something else. He sighs through his teeth. Better find out.]

Please tell me there isn't a dog with one of these doovalackies.

[Video]

[chibibrushheir]

[No dogs here Mister, just a wolf puppy pawing the screen. Sniper may or may not be able to see his markings.

Barkbarkbark.]

[video]

[hasstandards]

[Oh, even better. Not a dog, but what looks like a wolf. He doesn't recognize the markings, but he grins nonetheless. Yes, even though the dog apparently has a communicator.]

Oi, aren't you a right fine pup? Get a hold of the phone, did ya?

[video]

[hasstandards]

[And now through the communicator comes a voice he doesn't jump at. Probably because it is coming from someone who isn't a dog, has dog ears, or is just plain loud.

That doesn't make his tone any friendlier. He only shoots a quick glance at the screen before returning his attention to the scope.]

I'm rather busy, Doc.

[video]

[hasstandards]

I'm not shootin' bloody civilians. What do you take me for?
