28th Inning

[Finland isn't the only one gimping around town. Scout got stabbed in the leg several times by the angry nation. He went to Fran to get it stitched it up, but thought maybe just offing himself would be better than 2-4 weeks recovery time. The good doctor disagreed, and while fixing up the Scout's leg made sure he would not harm himself or others during his recovery.

Lovely.

Not only that, he hasn't been able to sleep either (chemically-induced nap nonwithstanding). It's not something he gets much of anyway, usually, but since he's hurt he figured he might as well catch up. But he just lays there, wide awake. What's up with that?

So now, Scout can be found in a few places looking a bit miserable:

- Sitting on his lawn, playing catch alone. Mostly using the house and fence to bounce the baseballs off of. Occasionally one goes wild towards his own house, or neighbor's, or to a passerby causing damage. He seems unconcerned.

- Stopping by the homes of his BLU teammates: Sniper, Spy, Medic and even Engie. Every last one of them is droned. This does not help his mood.

- Downtown in the attempt to get Vince a present for his birthday. He's got crutches for any extended time walking in the hopes to not pop any stitches, but Scout's never been known for his patience. He also has no idea what to buy a guy for his birthday, but this is Vince so it's almost kinda like buying something for a chick. At any rate, he feels weird buying him clothing or something, and since he doesn't like sports, Scout looks a bit lost.

- at RED Sniper's gun range, taking out targets with his pistol at an alarming rate. Gotta vent somehow!

Feel free to bug him at these places, or while he's on the move.]

[Catches it]

Not run over. Just stabbed a couple 'a times.


[Toss catch, toss catch, toss catch.]



...did ya know my whole team's droned?

[thenorthernwall]

[She steps closer.] I'd heard. Are you holding up okay?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What? Yeah. Fine. Dunno what those dumbasses did, but it better not be my turn next, I tell ya what.

[thenorthernwall]

Probably nothing worse than I did, which was get up in the morning and try to tell people about a sociopath. [A smile!] They'll either be back, or they've gone home.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I dunno. Ya know what though? In all my time here - which feels like a goddamn lifetime - I only got droned once, an' fer like 12 hours. I even know what I did to get it, too. An' that's it. Yet it seems ta happen ta everyone else every other goddamn day.

An' I sure as hell didn't go home durin' that time. I remember the whole thing.

[thenorthernwall]

Hn. I went home.

Either way, they'll be fine.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Maybe those lucky bastards got to go back to work.

[thenorthernwall]

It's possible. Don't give up on them.
