7th inning

[freakinblur]

[Filtered to non-drones. Scout sounds very serious, pretty different from his usual perky self.]

I ain't been here long, but I've heard that a lot of crazy shit has gone on in this town before I got here. I want details. I wanna know what happened. I wanna put together any clues ya got in order to figure out who the hell is responsible so we can fuckin' find them and put a stop to this shit.

Don't tell me I can't do anything. Don't tell me all I'm doin' is askin' ta be droned. I don't give a crap about that anymore. Someone's gotta do somethin' about all the cruel shit they do to us, an' that someone may as well be me. All we're doin' is sittin' around, lettin' more people get kidnapped, lettin' them, whoever they are, pull more 'a their crazy tricks on us. Well I ain't waitin' around. This place is makin' me stir crazy an' I want outta here.

So tell me what you know. An' don't gimme yer negative bullcrap - if ya ain't got anything useful ta say, then don't waste my time.

Hey, kid. Get yer ass over here, I gotcha a present.

[Yay presents, indeed! Margot's stopping by Scout's house on her way to the hospital, all done up in her uniform, blech.

She rings the bell, looking a bit disgruntled, but that's not anything new, really.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[When he answers the door, he can't help but chuckle at her uniform.] Holy shit kid, what the hell is THAT? Ain't it just yer lucky day then. C'mere.

[He'll show her inside to the kitchen where he has a bunch of various sports clothes laid out in BLU team colors (http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7595/tf2blu.jpg). There's hats in there too.]

I uh, I had no idea what exactly you'd want, it ain't like we got an official uniform 'r nothin', but I got what I could. I hope they fit. Didn't know what ya wore so I had ta guess. So pick out whatcha want. I can get ya sneakers, too, if ya want.

Oh yeah! [He runs off into another room for a moment, and comes back with a baseball bat.] There's this too. Whatcha think, kid?

I have a job, okay.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

... You've got brass balls, city boy. I'll give you that.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

.... someone around here's gotta be the one to get their shit in gear. May as well be me.

[dispenserplz.livejournal.com]

Well ain't you a freakin' hero.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hey, if ya want, I'd be more than glad ta leave yer sorry ass behind.

[bluecapboy.livejournal.com]

Well, the one time Grady was droned, it sounded like it was done by a little girl. I didn't catch her name, but I heard her voice on the telly.

...I'd like to know what happens to people who get brainwashed over long periods of time.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

A little girl? We'll have ta try 'n' figure out which one it is. Sounds pretty friggin' creepy though.

I know some people who get brainwashed fer a long time an' come back. Minatsuki was droned fer like 2 weeks. Engie, he's... he's been droned fer awhile now, too. An' the other Scout, he was gone fer like MONTHS an' then snapped outta it. It's like... it's like there ain't no real consistency.

[bloodon-myknife.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit mate. Keep me posted and if you figure something out before me let me know. I'll get a gun ready and have your back.

[Sniper was very happy to hear this one. He didn't plan to give up yet.]

In the mean time, I might have an idea for dealing with Grady if we have to take him down. Even if it isn't permanent.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

The more I hear about Grady the less I know what to do about his fat ass. It's like he can pretty much do whatevah the hell he wants.

[deflowers.livejournal.com]

Grady can change bodies. That's one thing.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Change bodies? Holy shit. Is there anythin' that fatass CAN'T do?

[ohhellogirls.livejournal.com]

Well, the Mayor of this town is a lying, cheating, brainwashing son of a... son of a something, anyway, I can tell you that much!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

The Mayor? I haven't heard much about him yet. So he can brainwash people too? Makes sense, since I heard Grady got brainwashed himself, once. Know anythin' else about 'im?

[steel-massifail.livejournal.com]

...I only know what's already been said. Sorry.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

'S awright, pal, just keep yer ears open for any info. Talk ta some people, see what you can find out. I'm sure ya know people I don't, you been here longer than me.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Not surprised you're on top of trying to get something done...

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, like I said, someone's gotta do it. From what I know, it's been awhile since they've done anythin' so we're about due to be tortured any time now. I ain't waitin' around fer that.

[pencilpremonition]

Leaving's a bad idea for some of us, though.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

... I've heard that from some people. Jeez, I feel bad fer you schmucks who got it worse back home than here. I mean, I can't force ya into leavin'. But from what I know, people are comin' from all over the damn universe. Maybe you could find somewhere else to go. But I don't think stayin' here is the best idea.

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

Every so often, the town... changes. There was one time that it suddenly turned snowy and all the houses were lit up with decorations. Presents appeared in every house too - they were supposed to be for a holiday called Christmas.

I guess that's what you'd call a crazy trick. There's been a lot of stuff like that.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

So I've heard, yeah. Was that one harmless or were there, like, rabid animals in the Christmas presents? With this town, almost nothin'll surprise me now. An' I sincerely doubt anything they do is harmless.

Wait, they don't got Christmas where you're from? Bummer.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

What do you already know?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Aw jeez. Well I've been learnin' a lot lately. I know that Grady is a god-mode hack, that's what I know. That the bastard can do pretty much anything. I also know that there's somethin' fishy about the Smith family, especially the little girl who could drone Grady. I know that the mayor is crooked as hell. I know that there are crazy murder games an' that we're about due for another any day now.

What I wanna know is who gives the orders to these people. Who's in charge.
