Enemy territory...

Just intelligence gathering, that's all, Simmons told himself as he made his way across the canyon. Just looking at the other side were doing. Seeing what the deal with everything was. With the new rookie and everything. Just seeing what had changed ( Read more... )

Leaves was lying out in front of the base, armorless, staring up at the sky. He was bored out of his freaking skull. There was absolutely nothing to do, and with the cease-fire, no battles to distract him. So he lay there, debating whether or not he would be killed if he took the Warthog out for a joy-ride across the canyon.

Seems quiet... Simmons thought, making his way back out front after his search through the base's interior. Then again, he hardly knew what he'd have done if it wasn't.

He stopped and stared, blinking under his visor at the unfamiliar figure lying on the grass. It was one thing hearing about being replaced - another to see it.
He just about restrained himself from opening fire there and then. The newcomer didn't have any armour on, after all. Instead, he moved closer, tightening his grip on his gun.

Leaves sat up, and looked at the Warthog. It was just sitting there, begging to be taken out for a drive. A little one. A quick spin about the canyon. What harm could it do? If he went fast enough, no one would even know he was gone. Sneak into the base, grab the keys, sneak out, and take off. It was as simple as that. He could do it. He'd done many tasks far more difficult than that before.

With a "What the hell," he stood up and made his way towards the base. He paused just out side the door, however, and turned his head towards the cliffs. He thought he saw a flash of blue out of the corner of his eye...

Unsure whether he'd been spotted, Simmons looked around, working out his options. Go back or not?
Watching the rookie's movements, he shook his head and decided to see what was happening. He couldn't help but be curious about who this was who'd filled his place in the squad. Quietly as he could manage, he followed, sticking to the shade where he could.
Not a lot else he could really do, he felt.

[absently sticks his head out from the top of the base.. wtf, mate? permission to survey what the heck's going on?]

"Owies..." Leaves whimpered, rubbing his neck as he respawned next to the Warthog. Appearantly he had snapped his neck as it flipped. Oh well, at least it wouldn't leave any more visable scars.

simmons2point0 January 10 2006, 22:36:27 UTC

Simmons stared for a moment, taking in the sight. One thing to guess - another to actually see it in action. "How the hell did you just... do that?" he asked, from the other side of the Warthog.

red_zealot January 10 2006, 22:42:08 UTC

Leaves shrugged. "Hell if I know how it works. It just does. Takes a lot of energy though."

"And leaves all these ugly scars," he added, pointing to the spots on his face. "They may look good on Sarge, but they just look funny on me."

simmons2point0 January 10 2006, 22:50:22 UTC

Simmons peered over, trying to make out the scar-spots. "I bet it does..." he remarked. "And what do you mean, they look good on Sarge? They're just..." He shrugged, not really having a lot to say. He'd never really thought anything about Sarge's scars.

He paused briefly. "Watch out, I'm gonna try and flip this thing over."

((Can I join in? I'd like to think that Sheila would come to the defense of her man.))

((Hee, sure! Free for all! XD))

"Fuck that! You were the one sneaking around the base! I was just protecting it!"

Leaves decided he didn't like this guy at all. Sure, he had the air of an older brother, but he was kissing up to his Sarge. And trying to put all the blame on him.

If Sarge did believe him, he would have no qualms about running him over. Many, many times.

"Protecting it? This is a ceasefire, you know!" Simmons rolled his eyes behind his visor. "And you thought it would be a laugh to break it just for the hell of it!"

Simmons paused, thoughtful. He'd never been entirely sure how official this ceasefire was. If it turned out it wasn't so official... well...

red_zealot January 11 2006, 11:54:44 UTC

"Well, I'm fucking bored, and I see a goddamn fucking blue sneaking around the base! What the fuck did you expect me to do?" Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best excuse, but it was true. He was fucking bored, and he is a fucking blue.

From a fair distance away, Sheila watched the event unfold, though she couldn't hear it so well. 'It looks like Dick might be in trouble... With that thought, she rumbled as quickly as she could across the canyon until she was just behind Simmons, her turret pointed at the Red rookie.

"Is there a problem here, Dick?" she asked innocently while exuding an air of menace towards the young Red and ignoring Sarge.
