Map: Badwater Basin. Payload.

[hands_of_blu]

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.

BLU

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

The BLU locker room is cramped by the standards of anyone who's worked at 2fort, but it can't be helped. The room was built quite some time ago- and anyway, there has to be room for the bomb and its cart.

The siren will sound soon, and the mission will get underway, but for now it's a tense, wary quiet.

The Heavy stands behind the front lines, nervously shifting Sasha in his hands.

"Do vwe have any new recruits?"

Re: BLU

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

There's the sound of a door closing nearby; the Medic glances over Heavy's shoulder and smiles faintly. "I sink perhaps ze first has just arrived..."

Teja sees the doors, and knows what they mean.

He remembers Charlie being hurt when the doors where here last; but he also remembers what Will and Doc said.

He steps through the blue door with the full intention of visiting some mayhem upon that strange world.

Nobody dies anyway.

He steps through, and looks around.

Re: BLU

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

It's a sterile-looking locker and supply room, smelling strongly of antiseptic. There are a number of men in varying types of blue clothing milling about. One- a fellow Teja may well remember- makes his way over from where he'd been talking to his peers. "Guten abend," he says with a faint smile. "May I be of assistance?"

Mia saw the doors.

She really had no idea what they meant. But she knew this: if Draco saw her enter a red door, he would have some questions for her involving Gryffindor.

Really, she just started by peeking around (see icon) and just happened to recognize the people inside.

"Herr Medic? Herr Heavy?"

Oh by the Goddess, what has she walked into?

Re: BLU

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

"... ach, anozzer one? Guten abend, Frau Ausa," calls the Medic. "You come at a tense moment, I am afraid."

[dark_dancer]

This time, Cata knows what the doors are for.
She weighs the matter for a while, then decides she might as well. She's still a bit out of sorts from talking to that fellow who looks so much like Sam, and thinks on lines she can understand, but... isn't, in the end, her best friend. Perhaps the opportunity for a little civilised mayhem will help her clear her head.
So she takes the blue door, opting to just get a rifle there, since there will be other weapons. She can put up with wearing something other than her usual, this once.

"Guten abend, Frau Cata!" calls the Medic, looking up from his latest orientation. "Und how do you do?"

RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

RED’s received word that BLU is on the move and they are not happy about it. They’ve had a few minutes warning and have rushed out to defend their base, leaving the locker room fairly empty. There’s a bench and supply cabinet against one wall, a time clock against another, and a single working door that’s looks like it’ll slide up to let people out.

Perhaps the most notable thing is the window in the back of the room looking down on two full size missiles.

Re: RED

[vance_prime]

Alyx eyes the two doors curiously. The red one happens to be closer, so that's the one she peers into.

...woah, nice warheads.

"Hello?" she calls out, just barely above normal speaking volume. "Anybody here?"

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

A man in a red suit and mask sticks his head out of a little door marked 'TOP SECRET'. There's little point in Spy rushing out to the battlefield so soon. He can't do much until the BLUs stop hiding in their base.

A civilian is a good distraction, though.

"Mon dieu, where did you come from?"

Re: RED

[wildwld-gadgets.livejournal.com]

After a bracer of whiskey Artemis was ready to go and foil the latest master plan of Dr. Loveless. There is just one slight problem to his exit as he is confronted by two doors this time instead of his usual singular door. Not sure what to do or which door to choose he flips a coin.

Red wins and so now there is one curious and lost gunslinger who enters the room. The view of the missiles catch his attention long enough for the door to swing closed behind him. And, of course, turning at the sound of the click, Artemis turns to find the door is gone.

"Now what?" he says out loud.

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

"And anozzer person from Milliways." Spy restrains a sigh. It's either going to be a very long day or a very amusing one.

"Welcome to zee RED Base. I 'ope you know 'ow to fight; we are about to come under attack."

Tyler found the extra doors and did what comes naturally in that sort of situation.

He started to snoop around.

Which is how he ends up here.

"Ollie ollie oxen-free?"

LET THE MAYHEM COMMENCE.

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

As people talk and prepare, a woman's voice rings out over unseen speakers: "Mission begins in sixty seconds."

Positions, people. The instant the siren sounds and the gate in front of BLU's bomb cart opens, heads are gonna roll.

CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[crysomemore.livejournal.com]

The Heavy is waiting.

He is become death... and the pusher of a leetle cart.

Re: LET THE MAYHEM COMMENCE.

[vance_prime]

Since when do hostile forces obey a magical voice coming out of nowhere?

...oh right.

In any case, Alyx is already running along the hillside at the edge of the basin, trying to spot the incoming BLUs without making herself too visible in the process.

[dark_dancer]

Cata got herself the Sniper's kit, after talking to the Medic for a bit. (She's still taking comfort in the fact that the vest is black, but... well, she willingly ventured into it, this time.)
She found a nice perch in one of the towers, for the purpose, and is well settled in when the alarm sounds. Now, she starts watching for marks.

Re: LET THE MAYHEM COMMENCE.

[aleister_author]

Tyler's jogging along, heading for the high ground. No reason to shoot at the RED spy scout, right?

Right.

Payload it Forward

[crysomemore.livejournal.com]

The Heavy respawns after his ill-fated bout with the Scout, and makes for the payload. When he gets to the tunnel and realizes that it has effectively stopped moving, he begins calling to any BLU teammate that will listen. "Argh! Cart is not moving!" he calls, frustrated. "WE MUST PUSH LEETLE KART!!"

Re: Payload it Forward

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

"Move it, maggots!"

Spy rather enjoys the fact that BLUs can be rather predictable.

Beware The Red Dot

[vance_prime]

After her second respawn, Alyx decided that maybe the Scout approach wasn't for her. Before heading back out into the field, she checked through the storage lockers in search of a better weapon set. Rocket launcher? Too cumbersome. Ditto the grenade launcher, and the minigun--the damn thing probably weighs more than she does.

The sniper rifle and SMG? Perfect.

Once equipped, she finds a suitable spot up high, and scans the ground below. She's looking for any spot of blue, but keeping one eye on the nearer end of the tunnel. The cart should be coming through any time now...
