Getting turned into a Hippie for Halloween.

[notintehkitchen]

I should be thankful Soldier isn't around. Extremely thankful.

If you're not too picky on what it looks like, it's not hard. Just pull your hair over your shoulder and put the scissors to it. Heck, you can even use your axe if you haven't got anything else to cut it with.

[notintehkitchen]

An axe? Really?

[Maybe she can do it by herself after all.]

[sentryslinger]

Yeah. If the blade's sharp enough, it oughtta cut hair easily, assumin' you do want to get rid of it.

[notintehkitchen]

I do. Short hair suits me best anyways.

[sentryslinger]

I'll bet it fits under your mask better, too. That's one reason I keep my own as it is.

[He pulls off his helmet, running a hand over his shaved head.]

Keeps the temperature down under this helmet of mine, too. Lord knows I can use that in the desert.

[notintehkitchen]

I'm sure you don't want Soldier yelling at you to get a haircut either.

You work in the desert, huh?

[sentryslinger]

I do right now, at a little place colloquially known as Hoodoo. I've been all over the place, though.

How about you, Pyro? You're at Sawmill, right?

[notintehkitchen]

That's right! Sawmill is my home as of right now. I haven't been placed anywhere else yet.

[And she sort of hopes she won't be, she likes being with Sniper.]

[sentryslinger]

Well, you've only been with the company how long? A lot of us have been moved before, so I wouldn't be surprised if you got switched at some point, especially with these robots comin' in.

[notintehkitchen]

I've been with RED for four years.

[As for the robots, she's actually excited about those. She's a bit of a sci-fi nut though.]

[sentryslinger]

[That's longer than he would have thought.]

And all of that at Sawmill, huh? I got transferred to my second base after only a year, since the Engineer there quit and they desperately needed another one. I suppose ya end up where you're needed, so as long as you're needed at Sawmill, that might be where you stay.

[notintehkitchen]

I hope I can stay there forever! Until I'm an old granny!

[sentryslinger]

You like Sawmill that much?

[notintehkitchen]

Of course! I love my teammates very much!

[sentryslinger]

I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully, you'll be there for a long time, then.

And if you do get moved, don't you worry too much about it. I'm sure you'll make nice with your new teammates, too.

[notintehkitchen]

[She's got a certain sparkle to her eyes. Clearly, she is having some thoughts that are likely not to happen.]

I know, I know! You should come over to RED and be with me! Then we can make food together and always win!

[sentryslinger]

[He laughs again.]

I appreciate the offer, but you know as well as anyone that I can't do that. I've got a contract with BLU.

[notintehkitchen]

[Puppy dog eyes are go.]

But that doesn't mean you can't play with me and make food, right?

[sentryslinger]

I suppose that's true. And who knows? We might end up at the same base sometime durin' this war on these robots.

[notintehkitchen]

[Oh dear, this leaves her confused.

She doesn't want to be away from her other teammates, but she really really REALLY likes this BLU Engie and thinks they could be BFFs! What's she supposed to do?]

That... that would be nice. I'd love to fight at your side.

[As opposed to killing you.]

[sentryslinger]

I'd be pleased to have you on my team too, Pyro. If there's one thing I'm learning from fightin' all these robots with you REDs, it's that you've got a lot of good mercenaries over there. It's almost a shame we've been hired to be at each other's throats for years, but it keeps food on the table.

Maybe you could bring your Sniper friend, too. If he's anything like the ones I've met, he might be interested in the money these robots are dropping.

[notintehkitchen]

It keeps tons of food on the table, that's my favorite part besides getting to burn anything I please that's on BLU.

As for Mr. Hawk--well, I think he likes money or else he wouldn't be an assassin! I'll ask him!

[sentryslinger]

[He's been subjected to some of that kind of burning. He does not remember it fondly.]

I'm sure he does. Not all of us are in it for the money, but it certainly makes things easier, don't it?

[notintehkitchen]

I suppose. I burn most of it after I buy all the food I want for the month.

[Filthy arsonist indeed. That's probably illegal too.]

[sentryslinger]

You can't do that, Pyro! It's illegal! Besides that, there are better uses for it.
