26th Inning

[freakinblur]

[Working 14-hour days, Scout managed to get the rest of his part in those shitty propganda films completed. Exhausted, hungry, and lacking in caffeine, he figured he was done all he needed to do, so he could relax or help out his friends until this whole thing blew over... until he heard the names of those executed.]


Sniper! You said to let you know when? NOW is the time!

Zhe time for what, leetle Scout?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Oh he does NOT have time for you]

None 'a yer goddamn business!

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

As an Informant of zhe Party, I think eet is very much my business. What is your Sniper planning?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

You're an Informant?! Why am I not fuckin' surprised! Ya know what we're plannin'? To kick yer ass 6 ways from Sunday, that's what!

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

You could have at least bothered to inform me of whatever you're trying to pull now, boy. This really isn't the time to make ridiculous kamikaze plans.

[Yeah, he's kind of mad.]

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I am absolutely terrified.

You will be reported for aiding in a plot to overthrow our Glorious Leader, along with your Sniper. Who do you think zhey'll believe, after all?

[Besides, he needs to make his quota. He's already turned in BLU Scout once just because he doesn't like him; maybe now something will actually be done about it.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

THERE you are. I was gonna try an' find ya in this mess but I barely had time fer anythin' tryin' ta get that goddamn job done. Not that it even freakin' matters now!

Sniper said to call him when I'm ready. Well I am friggin' ready fer whatever, pally!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Go ahead! I'll give those bastards hell, like I'm gonna do with you next time I see yer commie-lovin' ass!

[He just just...livid. And dumb. A bad combo.]

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

[Bonus points: Spy turned in Mindy. Yep. A six-year-old-girl. Beat the shit out of him, Scout, he deserves it.]

Hah! I look forward to seeing you try. But I have zhe might of zhe Party behind me, and you have nozhing. Not really a fair fight.

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

They are all nearly impossible jobs, you have no place to complain.

Whatever you'll planning will fall through, it's guaranteed. The town is a case of Big Brother and you both will end up dead in vain. A martyr without cause is just an attention seeking idiot.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[And everyone thinks Cynric did it! You magnificent bastard.]

Screw the P-- [Oh you almost had him there. Give him a moment to seeth please.]

I'll find a way, ya rat!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

There can't be NOTHIN' we can do. If we just sit around, God knows how lon they'll keep us here. This ain't like Westport where they only took a few guys. This is everyone.

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

[Spy is, indeed, magnificent.

Scout, have a big fat snorty laugh for your attempt at being intimidating.]

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

I never said or implied nothing can be done. Jumping into it, however, will solve nothing. Our best bet is to bide our time, gather others, and catch them off guard. They're human and humans make mistakes, it is our nature.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

If we wait around any longer, we're gonna get executed!

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

And if we rush into this, we'll get the same result. This is not home, Scout, we are not at the bases. Applying our battlefield tactic here will get us nowhere.

Even if we actually played a team and even if RED joined us. There is hope, oui, but not the way we're trying to go about it.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Sorry Mia. Can't say over the phone.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Then what do YOU suggest? We can't just wait this thing out! All that did in Westport was give me a slow death.

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

Have you ever considered the town as a whole? We are not the only ones looking to escape. What you do could effect everyone else.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

I'm aware.

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

(Cynical RED Sniper is cynical. Plus, he doesn't know any of the executed personally. Yeah, England biting it was something of a shock, but he got over it.)

You expect either one of us to be able to do anything empty 'anded?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Erk. Not the right Sniper, but since his own team's won't answer...]

We can think 'a something. At the very least, I've got a bunch of vodka an' a pack of matches.

[Molotov cocktails anyone?]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[BRB, seething.]

...Fine! I'll just wait fer them ta bust don my own door before I kick their asses. I'm sick of just waitin' around fer them ta win!

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

Great. I look forward to seeing you set your hair on fire.

(He's teasing, mostly. He's hardly about to discuss overthrowing Soviet Mayfield over the phone, and he's not a charge in headfirst blind type of guy anyway.)

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

[+1 point to Spy.]

I wouldn't recommend that either. You should find out what the town wants and make plans from that. We don't even make up one percent of the population and if the others want to do nothing, then nothing you will do.

[Geez, now he's starting to sound like scolding father. Way to go, Scout.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Well, Scout does act like a kid, so he deserves the father act.]

I'm sure they don't wanna wait till they're "reprogrammed" permanently, 'r shot in tha back 'a the head.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

...at this rate, nothin', since everyone's too afraid ta make a move!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I'd rather have tried somethin' than just sit around an' wait fer them ta haul me off!

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

And I'd rather succeed.

But don't worry. I won't stand idly by when the time comes.

(Oh, irony, thy name is bitch.)

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

For as long as you've been here, I'm surprised you still don't understand how the town works.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

This time seems more... I dunno, this is way more fucked up than regular ol' Mayfield. And it ain't like I sat around an' waited fer them ta drone me there, either!

[queensrules.livejournal.com]

No, idiot. Not the town itself, the people in it. Those of us trapped, they are always steps ahead. You'd be better getting involved with theirs than creating your own.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Of course we're afraid. We don't understand anything about this place or what they want from us.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

We can't just sit around an' wait fer them to kill the rest of us! That's just letting them win!

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

And what would be the point in running in to let them do the same?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I'd rather go down swingin' than sit around an' wait to die!

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

As would I, but I'd prefer not dying to both.

[And she's already done it once]
