On the D word. Also, Bacon.

Good luck with that, but I won't be joining you unless they make diet bacon that tastes as good as the real thing. Don't even start talking to me about turkey bacon, I accidentally bought it in Paradise one time and thought I was eating a tire. Why does turkey bacon even exist? It doesn't get crispy right like the real bacon does.

I don't know if the rest of them like children.

[sentryslinger]

Have you asked them?

[notintehkitchen]

No, I'm afraid what their answer would be.

[sentryslinger]

Why's that?

[notintehkitchen]

It's Sniper and Scout. I doubt either of them wants to be associated with children. Mr. Hawk will probably just grumble at me if I brought the topic up and Scout would be offended because he's a child too.

[sentryslinger]

I guess that does put you in a tight spot, doesn't it? Still, if you really like children, you oughtta look after 'em. Someone needs to.

As for Sniper and Scout, it's not like they can avoid kids forever. I reckon they're going to have to learn to handle them sometime.

[notintehkitchen]

[She nods her head.]

Yes, there is this one girl I'm particularly worried about. She thinks she's about five-hundred years old but looks more like five.

[sentryslinger]

I don't suppose I'll ask how she got that way, though if she's survived five-hundred years, she'll probably be just fine with anything one of these games can throw at her.

Now that I think about it, maybe it's your teammates you need to be keeping a close eye on. Scout can be a lot to handle, and Sniper may get along just fine by himself, but I get the feeling city life ain't for him.

[notintehkitchen]

I figured that out when I realized he didn't know how to cook anything that wasn't some dead critter he sniped at. As a bushman his hygiene is also...lacking.

[sentryslinger]

I'm guessin' he's used to bein' on his own out in the woods somewhere. Probably don't see a lot of showers out there. It takes a while to break old habits, but I'll bet he'd change if he had the right motivation.

[Grin.]

[notintehkitchen]

[Noooo, don't grin at her like that Engie. It's a weakness!]

I've given him hints but he's a stubborn one.

[sentryslinger]

Have you tried just telling him? Some men got thicker skulls than others.

[notintehkitchen]

I might hurt his feelings if I do it that way.

[sentryslinger]

[Laughing.]

He's a big boy, Pyro. I'm sure he can take it.

[notintehkitchen]

So I should just tell him flat out that he smells bad?

That seems so rude to do to a fellow comrade. I suppose I could just wear my gas mask for the rest of my life to avoid all the foul stench from the men I work with.

[sentryslinger]

You might word it with a bit more tact, but we've all got to shower every now and then. You shouldn't have to stay in your mask on account of us.

[notintehkitchen]

...

I guess I'll try my best. I don't expect anyone to change themselves just for me though. If Mr. Hawk is a bushman through and through then I'm a Pyro through and through and would be heartbroken if someone told me to stop playing with my lighters.

[sentryslinger]

I don't think your lighters are offendin' any of the rest of us, though. That said, I don't see why he wouldn't change at least a little for you.
