Roll Call

[sentryslinger]

Alright now, Miss Mundane. I know you're wantin' to know how many of us BLUs and REDs there are around these parts, but even if I ask, I can't guarantee everyone will answer. Some folks ain't much for talkin'.

But you're right. It don't hurt much to just ask around, 'less someone comes after me for my occupational affiliation. And I know how to take care of myself if that happens. Now that I can guarantee.

That I did. Can't say that's the ideal situation, but at least we know they're out there and to look for 'em.

[bye_to_yer_head]

True. Though I honestly thought there were a few more round here.

[sentryslinger]

That might just be the ol' paranoia talkin'. I can't blame ya for thinkin' they'd be everywhere. I get like that with my machines, sure they're stalkin' around just waitin' to put one of them sappers on my contraptions.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Probably. Afraid I'll get careless without 'em around and then suddenly there'll be nine 'f em fightin' over who gets t' stab me first.

[sentryslinger]

Now you're a perceptive guy. I think you'll be just fine, especially if all you're dealin' with are the guys we've seen already.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Oh sure, th' one who's all smug, th' one that's tryin' t' get with th' underage Scout an' th' one who breaks into places t' steal marshmallows.

I think I can take 'em.

[sentryslinger]

If nothin' else, they're all preoccupied with other things. You can use that to your advantage.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I'd rather jus' avoid 'em entirely. I think most folks do.

[sentryslinger]

Or you could do that. Just make sure they don't catch you if you aren't payin' attention to 'em.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Ya don't got t' tell me Truckie. Think I'm paranoid enough as it is.

[sentryslinger]

I expect you are, slim. Not gonna lie to ya.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Comes with th' territory. Ain't nothin' t' be done about it.

[sentryslinger]

Just always make sure you've got someone watchin' your back, especially when you're glued to your scope. You've got a team for a reason, you know.

[bye_to_yer_head]

So they tell me.

I ain't got much 'f one in this place. I ain't never talked t' th' Spy an' th' other Sniper's been real quiet. An' now I've got a Medic that would probably run away if a door closed too loudly.

[sentryslinger]

And you've got Miss Pauling. She ain't really part of the teams, but she's keepin' an eye on you. Or so I hear.

[bye_to_yer_head]

She keeps an eye on everyone. That's her job. T' make sure we don't all kill each other when there ain't a respawn.

[sentryslinger]

And you're keepin' an eye on her, ain't'cha?

[bye_to_yer_head]

Only because th' RED's arn't stickin' to their end 'f th' ceasefire. What with Pyro tryin' t' burn down the city and all.

*What are you implying Engie? :| *

[sentryslinger]

[Implying? Now why would you think he's implying anything? He's just making conversation is all. ;)]

Now why'd she go and do a thing like that?

[bye_to_yer_head]

Hell if I know. Because she's a Pyro an' that's what they do I guess. So long as it wasn't my place.

[sentryslinger]

Ain't that the truth, though a house ain't the only thing that can be lost to fire.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Well th' only one dumb enough t' run in after her was th' other Sniper, an he made it out okay.

Most people have th' sense t' stay away from burnin' buildings.

[sentryslinger]

I'm sure he had his reasons for doin' it. Maybe he thought there was somethin' in there worth gettin' out.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Must 'f.

*He maintained a perfectly neutral tone, changing the topic as soon as possible.*

Managed t' save a kitten from th' fire. Guess I'm a hero now.

[sentryslinger]

Did ya? I knew there was a heart somewhere in you, slim!

[Aww, he's laughing. Probably not at you, but at the mental image of a stoic guy like you saving a kitten.]
