Boredom = Sillyness

[ex_haveaplan64]

(Sniper's taking a break from poking around his mun's headspace to do some knitting for himself and his teammates. Except he's zoned out a bit and the scarf is gradually turning into a full-body shawl.

You've got to admit, the click-click-click of knitting needles is surprisingly hypnotic...)

Well, it looks like you're keepin' busy.

[ex_haveaplan64]

Busywork is more loike it. Th' lady upstairs 'asn't got me doing shite these days. She says she wants someplace where she can 'ave fun and I can be my "usual crazed gunman self".

(Rolleyes.)

As if all I ever do is shoot people.

(Beat.)

Sometoimes I give them th' old chop chop.

[hasstandards]

Nothing wrong with shootin' things, mate. It's a good hobby, and it doesn't make you a gun-totin' lunatic, despite what some blokes might think.

[ex_haveaplan64]

Yeah, but most 'f those so-called "spooky jamjar" places don't 'ave Respawn.

((OOC: Where can I get some proper death tag on around here except to just load up TF2?))

[hasstandards]

Eugh. Guess I'm lucky my mundane sent me to a place that does. Not that I consider myself lucky for bein' stuck there at all.

[OOC: If only I knew. :(]

[ex_haveaplan64]

I could get along pretty much anywhere, but th' lady upstair's 'as gotten real picky as 'f late.

(Stage whisper:) If you ask me, th' real reason is that she's used up all 'er brainpower doing other stuff.

[hasstandards]

Other stuff?

[ex_haveaplan64]

Work, mostly. And she fancies 'erself a wroiter.

[hasstandards]

I suppose everyone has to have their hobbies, and a job's a job.

[ex_haveaplan64]

I s'pose so.

(He's going to diplomatically leave out any mention of how his mun imagines him naked and in various compromising situations. Though if he were plied with enough alcohol he might whinge about it.)

[hasstandards]

[It's probably best he doesn't mention that stuff.]

It could be worse, mate. It could always be worse.

[sentryslinger]

You might want to tie that one up Slim, unless you're planning on makin' a blanket instead of a scarf.

[ex_haveaplan64]

(Oblivious Sniper is oblivious. Though the pattern's now changed to wrenches instead of stripes.)

[sentryslinger]

[Engie scratches his head.]

You've got some real talent with those needles, don'tcha?

[ex_haveaplan64]

(Finally, Sniper notices he has an audience. He sets the needles down.)

Oh, this? Always useful t' be able t' mend and make your own clothes. Not that 'ard t' pick up once you've practiced a bit.

[sentryslinger]

I expect it isn't. The problem is findin' the time to practice. There are only so many hours in the day.

[quickly]

What's next? Yer gonna bake a cake?

[ex_haveaplan64]

(Clickety clickety click. Sniper's managed to spell out "THE CAKE IS A LIE" in the yarn.

And you better be nice to him, or you're getting another bull's eye sweater this year.)

[not_onyourside]

What are you doing?

[All up in your business!]
