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.]

Ah yeah, yer like, from way back when. Movies are like... well, tha next time ya go home, turn on the TV and you'll see what I mean.

I'm startin' ta think that we ain't from even close ta the same place. Cuz if there was airships in my history books, I prob'ly woulda paid more attention in school! That sounds pretty sweet.

Yeah, Klaus says no one else's world sounds anything like ours. No one else has the Spark, for one thing. I can't see how anything ever gets built.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what is that? Like all these superowers people have?

I dunno, Engie don't got superpowers but he built all sortsa awesome crap all the time.

It's this switch in their heads, kinda. Sparks just know how stuff works.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Weird. Never heard 'a anythin' like that before. An' you got a friend here who does that kinda stuff?

[its-me-dupree.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Well, he could, back home.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Well, if he's here long enough he'll get it back. But who knows when. No tellin' what the town'll give you back. they gave me my gun back after all. An' a couple other things.

[She shrugs.]

I don't know. I've only been here for about a week.

[A whole week without killing a single person. And she'd even been told off for threatening someone!]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Kinda figured ya weren't here long. I've been here... geez, nearly 6 months now. Feels like forever.

[its-me-dupree.livejournal.com]

Gotterdammerung.

[She shakes her head. She couldn't stand being here that long.]
