Getting turned into a Hippie for Halloween.

[notintehkitchen]

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

[Laughing.]

My thoughts exactly! I don't think he'd take too kindly to the idea, even if it is just a costume.

[notintehkitchen]

I don't want long hair! I'll just burn it all off and it smells awful!

[There's a lot of burning things that smell good, just not hair.]

[sentryslinger]

You don't have to go and burn it off. Long hair ain't so bad, Pyro. Have you ever had it before?

[notintehkitchen]

...

Yeah, I have. A long time ago.

[A very long time ago, when she used to keep it pretty for her dead somewhat boyfriend.]

[sentryslinger]

Well, you'll only have it for a month right? Unless your mundane is going to make you keep it. You could just tie it back.

[notintehkitchen]

[Scratching her cheek in thought, she ponders what to do if it is kept.]

Maybe. If I keep it, I'll just burn it off.

[In the end, who needs scissors?]

[sentryslinger]

You could just cut it, you know.

[notintehkitchen]

That's too much work! Fire is faster!

[When you work in a place where you hide your identity, you stop caring about being a woman and forget that you should probably be a bit more delicate about feminine like care.]

[sentryslinger]

But you don't have to smell it with scissors.

[notintehkitchen]

[Well, damn. He got her there.]

But... but... but.

[Hm.]

BUT! I don't know how to cut hair and I doubt I'll find anyone around here who can!

[sentryslinger]

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.]

[hasstandards]

And I thought my costume was going to be ridiculous.

[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]

It's not like I want to be one, Mr. Hawk.

[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.]

[hasstandards]

I don't think any of us are going to want to even wear the costumes, luv. Certainly not if it's got somethin' to do with anything those mundanes of ours have cooked up.

[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 wish she'd pick something cute for me instead.
