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.

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.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

Yeah yeah. It was Spy's. Th' bloody bastard probably trained th' thing to take people's eyes out or somethin'.

*It's the most dangerous 8 week old kitten you ever did see! What with it's fuzziness and purring.*

[sentryslinger]

I've gotta say that ya don't strike me as much of a cat person, though I'd think they'd be right up your alley if ya gave 'em a shot. Felines are real independent. Don't need much care, but they'll stick with ya if ya feed 'em and give 'em just a little bit of attention every now and then.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I ain't. Had a few before, didn't like them then either.

An' this one sleeps in my hat an' sheds like you wouldn't believe.

[sentryslinger]

That's just somethin' you'll have to get used to. Just don't let 'im do his business on anything of yours. You'll never get that smell out.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Oh that's really endearin' th' thing to me. Maybe I should start lockin' her up in th' bathroom or something.

[sentryslinger]

Now come on, slim. Cats aren't that bad. You've just gotta show the little feller a little bit of TLC.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Loike what? I already feed it and let it claw up one 'f my socks. What else does th' blasted thing want?

[sentryslinger]

Attention! You might try lettin' her sit on your lap for a while. Run that laser sight of yours along the ground and let her chase after it. Animals get lonely too, you know.

[bye_to_yer_head]

She sheds.

[sentryslinger]

So do a lot of folks. You ever been in the showers after the Demoman's been in there?

[bye_to_yer_head]

Uhm. No. I haven't.

Look. She ain't my cat. Soon as Spy shows back up I'm givin' 'er back. I'm jus' lookin' after her till then.

*Sure. Uh-huh.*

[sentryslinger]

[Aww, now he's laughing.]

Of course you are, slim. I don't doubt you'll be able to just hand her back when Spy comes back. Whether the cat'll actually leave is the real question.

[bye_to_yer_head]

What do ya mean she won't leave?

This is what I get for feedin' the blasted thing.

[sentryslinger]

Ya can't change a cat's mind once it's made up. That's how cats are. Ya don't own them. They own you.

[bye_to_yer_head]

And people get these things willingly?

[sentryslinger]

All the time, slim. All the time.
