37th Inning

[freakinblur]

[Scout's spent too long cooped up or being hunted down by hazmats recently. Now it was finally Halloween, and it was time for fun!

So he's out roaming the neighborhood trying to jump put and scare kids. He's surprisingly good at it. Better look out, as he's about to get you! His Halloween costume, by the way, is the Milkman. The drones don't get it, but he's certainly thinks it's pretty damned appropriate.

He'll be trolling for candy too. No, he doesn't care that he's 21 years old. You're never too old for candy, right? Oh yeah, he just TPed that tree in your yard too. Or covered your car in shaving cream. Any number of juvenile pranks are coming at you!

Also, there will be a ring on Taiwan's doorbell. A package of Halloween cookies will be left there, with a note attached saying they're to her, from Scout. He promised her something nice for her birthday, but Mayfield sort of stomped all over any chance for fun last week.

Happy Halloween, Mayfield!]

[Seii shrugs]

I'll just use it as a test for my job.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yer job? What they got ya doin' here? Oh hey, don't think I ever got yer name either, man. I'm Scout.

[oneeyedteach.livejournal.com]

I'm a teacher here, and back at home.

Seiichirou, or Seii for short. Nice to meet you, Scout.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Ah yeah? I got stuck as an office worker! How lame is that. least ya got somethin' yer good at, right?

[Seii chuckles]

What do you usually do then, Scout?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I'm a mercenary. [Said like it ain't no thing.] So ya can see why I get kinda bored 'round here.

[oneeyedteach.livejournal.com]

I suppose. Do you mostly fight, or are you like your namesake, and scout things out?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Little 'a both. Killin' guys, stealin' intel, pushin' carts, capturin' points... I do a little bit 'a everythin'.

[oneeyedteach.livejournal.com]

Then I guess this would be dull here.

[He pauses for a while, seeming to think]

Why not set up a treasure hunt or something?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Treasure hunt? Huh. Never thought 'a that! Not that there'd be much interestin' "treasure" here in town....

[oneeyedteach.livejournal.com]

Would have to make something up that might interest people then I suppose. At least it would be something to do though. Other than toilet paper and shaving cream I mean.

Hey, Halloween is only once a year! Gotta get this stuff in while I can.

[He tosses his roll of TP across the street into the neighbor's tree.]

Got a good arm there.
