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.

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.

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

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

[vance_prime]

"Uh... the door? Right there?" She jerks a thumb at the door behind her.

Except that there isn't one.

"...oh you have got to be fucking kidding me."

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Spy steps fully into the room, watching her carefully.

"You are from Milliways?" Scout told him about the last time this happened.

But in case she isn't, he's got a hand on the knife in his pocket.

Re: RED

[vance_prime]

"Yeah. And I'm not sure how to get back, now. Where are we?"

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

"Zee RED Base en Badwater Basin. I do not 'ave time to figure out 'ow to send you 'ome; we are about to be attacked. Ef we can keep zee BLUs from destroying our base, sough, I can talk to zee Engineer about et." Spy scowls, equally at her and the situation in general.

"En zee meantime, you are not safe dressed like zat."

Re: RED

[vance_prime]

A war zone. Great. Well, not the most ideal place to be stranded, but at least it's something familiar.

"I don't need armor. I can handle myself." She reaches for her pistol. "How much time have we got?"

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."

Re: RED

[wildwld-gadgets.livejournal.com]

Artemis can't help the snicker the vaudeville accent causes.

"I know a little something about fighting," he replies once he finds his voice. He lifts the corner of his coat clear of the Colt .45 holstered at his hip to make his point. "I think there's been a mistake though, I have no idea what Red Base is."

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

What vaudeville accent? That's the way Spy talks...some of the time. Spies are sneaky like that.

Say, that's not a bad pistol. Spy prefers the Python himself, though, so forgive him if he's not impressed.

"Reliable Excavation Demolitions, or RED, are my employers. We've 'ad a base 'ere for sometime, but zee bastards over at Builders League United would like notsing more zhan to destroy et and us wis et," the man in the mask delivers coolly.

"I can try to find a door back to zee Bar for you, but not until after we 'ave repelled zhem. And for your own safeties sake, I suggest you join me and put a uniform on. Ozzerwise bose sides will be trying to kill you instead of jus' one."

And if he goes that route, Spy might as well gut him then and there and save himself a lot of trouble.

Re: RED

[wildwld-gadgets.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for Artemis the Python's a bit after his time.

"Arty, what have to gotten yourself into," he thinks to himself before saying to the strange man, "Okay, I guess I better help out then. What uniforms do you have?"

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

"We 'ave a few options for you. If I may make a suggestion, zhough? We would find an extra Demoman quite useful, ef you know 'ow to 'andle a grenade launcher." He takes a drag of his cigarette as he looks Artemis over.

"You look like you may also fit ento zee Soldier's uniform, ef you prefer a rocket launcher, or zee Medic's."

It really makes no difference to Spy.

Re: RED

[wildwld-gadgets.livejournal.com]

"I like to make myself useful but what's a grenade launcher?"

Will do once I decide on a class for Artemis. Looking over the wiki now. = ]

Re: RED

[wildwld-gadgets.livejournal.com]

OKay my first thought was Engineer for old Arty here but I don't think I'm up for that based on the descriptions on the wiki.

I would like to go with Demoman this time. Maybe next time I'll feel up to running him as an Engineer. =D

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?"

Re: RED

"Oui, I'm coming," Spy says a bit shortly as he steps back in the sliding door. He flicks a spent fag to the side, pulling out his case and lighting one afresh.

"Milliways, non?"

Re: RED

[aleister_author]

"Yeah, that works. What's going on?"

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

"Et seems our teleporters are malfunctioning and you 'ave been pulled ento my world. I would take you back, but RED iz about to come under attack by BLU. If you wish to survive, I 'ighly suggest you put on one of zee RED uniforms so zat only one of zee teams will be trying to kill you."

He's getting better and better and summing up the situation, he thinks.

Re: RED

[aleister_author]

"Sam is going to kill me," declares Tyler, "Fine. What do you have in my size?"

Re: RED

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Spy takes a drag of his cigarette, walking around Tyler to size him up.

"You know, I sink you would fit ento one of my suits nicely. 'ow are you at espionage?"

Spy isn't too keen about a stranger being in his clothes, but it's occurred to him that Tyler would be a good way to draw fire from the BLUs so he can do the real work.

"Ef not, we can always stick you en one of zee Pyro's spare suits," he shrugs.
