7th inning

[freakinblur]

[Filtered to non-drones. Scout sounds very serious, pretty different from his usual perky self.]I ain't been here long, but I've heard that a lot of crazy shit has gone on in this town before I got here. I want details. I wanna know what happened. I wanna put together any clues ya got in order to figure out who the hell is responsible so we can

[Yay presents, indeed! Margot's stopping by Scout's house on her way to the hospital, all done up in her uniform, blech.

She rings the bell, looking a bit disgruntled, but that's not anything new, really.]

[freakinblur]

[When he answers the door, he can't help but chuckle at her uniform.] Holy shit kid, what the hell is THAT? Ain't it just yer lucky day then. C'mere.

[He'll show her inside to the kitchen where he has a bunch of various sports clothes laid out in BLU team colors. There's hats in there too.]

I uh, I had no idea what exactly you'd want, it ain't like we got an official uniform 'r nothin', but I got what I could. I hope they fit. Didn't know what ya wore so I had ta guess. So pick out whatcha want. I can get ya sneakers, too, if ya want.

Oh yeah! [He runs off into another room for a moment, and comes back with a baseball bat.] There's this too. Whatcha think, kid?

I have a job, okay.

2/2

[followyouthere]

[And that is when she sees the rest, eyes lighting up.]

You seriously got this for me?

[Her tone is incredulous, but there's a huge grin on her face.]

-- Wait, what are sneakers?

[unless_itsafarm]

... You've got brass balls, city boy. I'll give you that.

[freakinblur]

.... someone around here's gotta be the one to get their shit in gear. May as well be me.

[unless_itsafarm]

I will make this as perfectly clear as I can... this CEASEFIRE boils my blood like nothing else. I would sooner cut off your hand than shake it, BLU.

... but I'd rather do that on a real battlefield. Away from all these civilians.

You ladies will get our support. But one false move and I'll blow you right out of the sky, maggot. And don't you think for a moment I won't.

[freakinblur]

You think I'M thrilled about it? An' that I ain't thinkin' the exact same goddamn thing? But we both know it ain't what we need right now. We can worry about blowin' each others brains out once we get back. Fer now, let's worry about blowin' the brains outta whoever's in charge 'a this place.

[dispenserplz]

Well ain't you a freakin' hero.

[freakinblur]

Hey, if ya want, I'd be more than glad ta leave yer sorry ass behind.

[dispenserplz]

You really think ya gonna just walk outta here like that, huh?

[freakinblur]

Did you listen to a goddamn word I said? No, I don't, that is why I am tryin' to learn everythin' I can so I can come up with a better plan.

[bluecapboy]

Well, the one time Grady was droned, it sounded like it was done by a little girl. I didn't catch her name, but I heard her voice on the telly.

...I'd like to know what happens to people who get brainwashed over long periods of time.

[freakinblur]

A little girl? We'll have ta try 'n' figure out which one it is. Sounds pretty friggin' creepy though.

I know some people who get brainwashed fer a long time an' come back. Minatsuki was droned fer like 2 weeks. Engie, he's... he's been droned fer awhile now, too. An' the other Scout, he was gone fer like MONTHS an' then snapped outta it. It's like... it's like there ain't no real consistency.

[bluecapboy]

It is creepy! It could be very possible that she's even more dangerous than Grady.

For months...? How odd. I wonder if the people who get brainwashed go anywhere. I've heard that being droned could be one way to leave Mayfield.

[freakinblur]

That's bad friggin' news if she's worse than Grady. Cuz from what I've know, he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

I dunno about that, though. I've been droned, an' I remember everythin' I did while it lasted. It sucks. But that was only a short time, so who knows about the people who've been that way fer awhile.

[bloodon_myknife]

That's the spirit mate. Keep me posted and if you figure something out before me let me know. I'll get a gun ready and have your back.

[Sniper was very happy to hear this one. He didn't plan to give up yet.]

In the mean time, I might have an idea for dealing with Grady if we have to take him down. Even if it isn't permanent.

[freakinblur]

The more I hear about Grady the less I know what to do about his fat ass. It's like he can pretty much do whatevah the hell he wants.

[bloodon_myknife]

Though he can be killed, that much others have said. Also he has limits.

I don't think he can do his tricks if he can't see it coming either. Next time I will have to make sure he doesn't.
