On Upcoming Things

[sentryslinger]

You know, Miss Mundane, I'm glad you're all excited about this visitation business, but don't you think you've got enough on your plate these days?

I do too, of course, given these robots we're fightin'. It might just be a game to you, but it's a job for the rest of us. And believe you me, I do take my job seriously.

If I could figure out how to speed up the respawn, we'd be better off. Gettin' rid of that dizzy feeling when you go through it would be good, too.

[not_onyourside]

Zhat would be most appreciated. Zhough eets unfair eef BLU has faster better respawns zhan RED.

[sentryslinger]

If we're all gonna be working together against these robots, we'll be using the same one.

[not_onyourside]

You would let me een your respawn room? Engineer, you are too kind.

[~~leer~~]

[sentryslinger]

It wouldn't be my place to keep you out, since we're kind of on the same team, now. Or I'm sure that's how Soldier would put it.

[He is either ignoring all of those implications, or blind to them. Either way, he seems to be enjoying steering his flying Soldierbot head around, carefully landing it in his toolbox.]

[not_onyourside]

[He'll enjoy his innuendo all by his lonesome then.]

I do not want to be on zhe same team as a Soldier ever again. I guess you will have to keep zhis zhing around so I remember what he was like.

[sentryslinger]

[He laughs, tucking the remote to his heli-Soldierbot into his overalls.]

I don't think you've got much of a choice with that, given our jobs. At least there's only six of us out there at a time takin' care of those robots. Maybe you'll be lucky and won't have to be around him so much, if he bothers you. He is a bit of an acquired taste.

[not_onyourside]

Hmm. Eef I live to see zhe robots perhaps we shall see eef he becomes more tolerable.

And you do not have to deal wez him attempting to force feed you apple pie or chasing you around while lecturing you on American holidays.

[sentryslinger]

I'm also not the one that can turn invisible to get away from things like that.

[not_onyourside]

Eef I do zhat zhen he blows big holes een zhe base trying to find me.

[sentryslinger]

I've got to wonder what kinds of Soldiers you've been workin' with on RED.

[not_onyourside]

Insane ones.

Why? Are zhey any better on BLU? Why do you get all zhe good zhings? You even got zhe beach ball and balloons. Why do we get none of zhat?

Zhis ees unfair.

[sentryslinger]

They're not all that different, then. A good one oughtta be taking care of his teammates, though.

[not_onyourside]

Een his twisted mind he probably zhinks he ees.

But I would not miss him should zhe robots eat him, or whatever eet ees zhey do eef zhey catch us.

[sentryslinger]

Pretty sure they just blow us to smithereens. Not all that different from what we've been doin' to each other for years, if you look at it, except now the BLUs and REDs are working together.

[not_onyourside]

And zhen we can see about you errecting dispensers just for me.

[sentryslinger]

[Okay, even he can't feign ignorance this time.]

You'd better not talk to all your teammates like that.

[not_onyourside]

I do not.

[You're special Engie.]

Why? Would zhat displease you?

[sentryslinger]

I was just thinking about how Scout would probably put his bat to your head before you could even say his name.

[But yes.]

[not_onyourside]

I would zhink he would enjoy zhe attention. But he talks about himself more zhan enough, he does not need me to talk about him as well.

[sentryslinger]

He might enjoy the attention if it was from a lovely young lady and not from the man who probably uses that kind of talk on his mother.

[not_onyourside]

Well I am certainly not going to try and sleep wez zhat Scout. I am not a monster and zhat ees just cruel. To bozh of zhem.

[sentryslinger]

Is she just fine with you lookin' at other hens in the henhouse at all? And roosters too, I suppose.

[not_onyourside]

Considering she has not spoken to me een years I would zhink she does not care. And I am not zhe only one who caught her fancy.

[And he does not want to talk about this.]

And why does zhis matter to you?

[sentryslinger]

[He gets that feeling.]

Just curious. I'll never know what goes on in the space between your ears if I don't ask any questions.
