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.

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.

[not_onyourside]

I am glad my love life ees so interesting to you.

Believe eet or not zhat ees not all I zhink about.

[He also thinks about food. And sleeping. And horrible terrible things he would rather not think about.]

[sentryslinger]

And what else do you think about, Spy?

[He needs that kind of information so he can know to build a foodmotron. With that, he'll be an unstoppable force when it comes to Spy.]

[not_onyourside]

[If it comes with a place to nap Spy will never be seen again.]

Cooking. Not being here. Strangling zhe Scout on my team for scratching my car.

[sentryslinger]

Not being here? You mean here, or with RED?

[not_onyourside]

Bozh.

[Shrug.]

I suppose zhis place ees not as bad as eet could be.

[sentryslinger]

It's not. Gives us a chance to talk when we'd be shootin' each other otherwise.

I'm sure you've got your reasons, since all of us do, but if you're not happy with what you're doin', why not get out of it? I'm sure you've got talents that could be put to use elsewhere.

[not_onyourside]

I do. And my reasons are my own.

And I would not be shooting you. I would be breaking your zhings however, so I am sure zhis ees better.

[sentryslinger]

I suppose that's fair. [He gets that "don't want to talk about this" feeling again, and follows the change in subject.]

You still break my things here on occasion. I'm a little surprised my flyin' Soldierbot head is still in one piece.

[not_onyourside]

Zhe zhing I blew up was an accident. How was I to know you rigged zhem to self destruct?

[sentryslinger]

Got to make sure such things don't fall into the wrong hands, Spy. It's all a part of the business.

[not_onyourside]

You zhink zhe ozzer team ees going to steal your sentry blueprints?

[sentryslinger]

Can't be too careful. It's always a possibility, and if someone's going to be buildin' my machines, it had better be me.

[not_onyourside]

Eef someone else ever does I will break eet een your honour and bring you zhe pieces.

[sentryslinger]

And what if you're the one hired to steal my designs?

[not_onyourside]

Well I would not be zhe one building eet. Whats to stop me from stealing eet and zhen also breaking eet and giving eet to you?

[sentryslinger]

[He can't help but laugh a little at that.]

Don't you think that'd be downright counterproductive?

[not_onyourside]

How so? I am getting paid and no one specifically said not to break eet. I do not see zhe problem.

[sentryslinger]

You'd technically be helpin' the enemy if we were on opposite teams like we normally are. I don't think your employers would be too happy about that, now would they?

[not_onyourside]

Only eef zhey found out.

[sentryslinger]

It might not be an "if." It might be a "when."

[not_onyourside]

Might might might.

I am not going to worry about what might happen. Where ees zhe fun een zhat?
