freakinblur[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.]

Date: 2010-07-23 04:11 pm (UTC)Gotterdamerung, do they actually have decent weapons here? Where can I get my hands on one of those?
[It may not be a death ray, but it's better than the kitchen knife tucked into her boot.]
Downtown shopping
Date: 2010-07-23 04:13 pm (UTC)Right. Simply watching you try to walk is giving me sympathy pains. Sit down, tell me what you're looking for and I'll buy it for you.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 04:27 pm (UTC)But he's got to much pride for that.]
What? No, I'm fine, sheesh. Plus I don't even know what I'm lookin' fer at this point.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 04:32 pm (UTC)Huh? Oh, what, a pistol? Dime 'a dozen, if yer a guy. The general store won't sell 'em ta chicks though. Ya can get rifles too though, an' ammo.

I got extra pistols, but they're back at my house. Also? I got this.
[He unzips his backpack and draws out his shotgun. (http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Force-A-Nature)

How they expect me to get any work done...
[Oh, wait, they expect her to work in a waitress in a ridiculous skirt and rollerskates.]
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 04:57 pm (UTC)[He tosses her the pistol, then spins his shotgun around on his finger before firing two shots at his paper target. It's torn to shreds, but he doesn't look amused.]
This gun ain't no fun indoors.

Date: 2010-07-23 05:01 pm (UTC)Ah, excuse me? Are you having trouble finding something specific?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:06 pm (UTC)[She gives him a date around 100 years earlier, since the comic is extremely vague on that score.]
Europa's where anyone who matters is. I've never been to the Americas, but it's what everyone says.
[She takes the pistol with a savage grin and fires at the target. That feels good. She's been unarmed for too long.]
Not fun against targets, either.

no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:16 pm (UTC)Tell me about it! Man, I cannot WAIT ta get the hell home an' back ta work. Target practice'll keep me from gettin' rusty, at least.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:17 pm (UTC)Yeah, Vince's. Ya know him?
T__T SCOUT
Date: 2010-07-23 05:19 pm (UTC)A little more careful, Scout. What did you do to yourself?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:23 pm (UTC)[She keeps ahold of the pistol, though. That thing's not getting out of her hands.]
it's time for a good old fashioned Scout!Pout.
Date: 2010-07-23 05:25 pm (UTC)[He starts tossing another ball up and down, avoiding eye contact. So cranky.]
Nothin' outta the ordinary.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:25 pm (UTC)W-well if this person said he'd like-- buh-b-- that for his birthday, that might be best? Do you need help with anything, like getting anywhere?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:26 pm (UTC)Baw.
Date: 2010-07-23 05:28 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 05:30 pm (UTC)Yeah, maybe. He prob'ly likes girly drinks though. [Shakes his head. Vince whyyy.]
Huh? Naw, I'm cool, but these things are startin' ta get on my nerves, that's fer damn sure. [Indicates crutches]
