51st Inning

Scout is out on his lawn.

He has started a fire.

He is burning all those golf shirts and shorts.

Looks like things are back to normal!

He's got some lawn chairs, a cooler with some beer and he's roasting marshmallows over the bonfire, if you care to join him. He looks pretty satisfied with this set-up.

They will? [His eyes light up.] And yeah, can understand that. Can understand that real well. Fire, a real damn good choice.

Ah. Well, fuck, can't just make a new suit out here where they don't have a need for an arsonist, eh? [He gropes at his face.] You got an easy uniform to do. Suppose I don't need my uniform exactly, but it's fucking weird walking around with my face all bare.

Don't get too excited there, pally.

I dunno, ya might be able ta make somethin' like it. Ask around. People here can make all kindsa crap. Maybe someone's got a gas mask layin' in their garage.

Hey, hey, hey, what do you expect? Do you remember who you're talking to?

But, uh, you know-- won't that look fucking suspicious? People might think I'm out to burn down their fucking houses or something. [Like, you know, how he used to.]

Well aintcha?

[hotfrombehind.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't do that anymore, you fucker. [Wry smile, but he throws up his hands a bit anyway.] If anything, I'll burn down the whole fucking town before burning down just one house or two.

All that'll do is get ya a town back ta normal in a day 'r two, an' a whole lotta pissed-off people.

Didn't say I'd actually fucking do it. I'd like to, sure, get it off my fucking chest and all that, but I wouldn't really risk it. The fuckers who run this place seem to be fucking omnipresent and all that, so. [Shruuuug.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

... Omni-whatnow?

[hotfrombehind.livejournal.com]

They're everywhere, dumbass.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Oh. Why didn't ya just say that, jerkoff. An' they do that so they know when ta drone ya 'n' stuff.
