Map: Badwater Basin. Payload.

BLU operations in the area have met with horrific resistance from RED of late. Steps, as they say, had to be taken. When the intelligence reports last filched from under RED's nose indicated the RED team had concentrated vast quantities of infrastructure in a single location accessible by rail from an old, forgotten BLU listening post...

Well. Who are the BLU field operatives to ignore an opportunity dropped in their lap?

Time for some serious mayhem.

"Ah!" The Medic brightens and opens one of the other lockers. "I sink we can help you zere. One flammenwurfer coming right up."

Flammenwurfer, it turns out, is German for 'flamethrower'....

"This is going to be a learning experience," she says, looking at the flamethrower.

Mia Ausa, dangerous as she is, has never handled a modern weapon. But she does have fire on her side. Knowledge of the teacher will make up for lack of experience in the student.

"I should mark myself, yes? A uniform?" she asks as she ties her hair back with her ribbon. "I don't think my robes are suitable or intimidating."

Anticipating the next step, the Medic is already holding out the Pyro's suit and mask. "Completely fireproof," he says. "Burn ozzers all you like; no such harm will come to you."

"And it won't negatively affect my agility?"

Which might be a stupid thing to ask while wearing a robe containing plenty of magic items. We argue she'll be faster in this because she doesn't have star lights, healing nuts, gorgon dolls, pocket dictionaries, and protective charms weighing her down. But it's hard to tell when it's oh-so-flowy!

She takes the offered suit and says, "And more modest than my last uniform in other-worldly arson."

Changing in front of the boys would detract from said modesty...

"Herr Pyro has never complained of such issues," the Medic assures her. "I should go into vun of ze bathroom stalls to change if I were you- chust over zere."

Re: BLU

She does and comes back not long after, finishing the business of putting on the mask as she does.

But not before saying, "Well, looks like you've got a Pyro. Tell me where you want the fire and I'll make the others glad I can't use my Flameria here."

Woe to the people who get in Mia Ausa's way. Especially when she figures out Hadouken.

And though there is a strange feeling of time displacement when Mia takes up the flamethrower, it can't shake the natural feeling of fire, its potential and what she's going to make of it.
