Vacationing

[sentryslinger]

[Continuing this thread, in which Spy has convinced Engineer to spend a vacation with him. Fishing, fine dining, and some enemy bonding ensue.


Engineer steps into the elevator, hitting the button for their floor, pulling at his collar to loosen that next button.]

Hey, thanks again for the dinner and the suit. I'll have to put it to use some other time to justify your spendin' money on all this.

[not_onyourside]

Hmm. I suppose zhat ees reasonable.

How about a compromise? You attempt to relax occasionally, and I will not avoid all Pyros like zhey have a fiery form of plague.

[He'll still be 50 feet at all times, but at least he won't run away screaming.]

[sentryslinger]

I'll be holdin' ya to that next time we run into one while I'm holed up at your base.

[not_onyourside]

Mmm..

[Then he brightens.]

So you are planning to let me hold you captive some more?

[sentryslinger]

[He laughs, but he probably shouldn't.]

Not plannin' on it. You won't get me back in a RED base anytime soon unless you hogtie me in the night and drag me there yourself.

[not_onyourside]

I will certainly keep zhat option een mind.

[A few raindrops splish down, telling of the coming storm.]

And now I zhink our best option ees getting dessert een bed.

[sentryslinger]

[He frowns at the sky.]

Feels like we hardly did anything today. Then again, I did sleep through the movie.

[not_onyourside]

I still have not gotten to fly a kite.

Unfortunately vacation places such as zhis are short on indoor activities.

[At least ones Engineer would agree to be involved in.]

[sentryslinger]

We'll have to pick a place with better weather next time.

[He turns to head back to the hotel, waiting for Spy.]

Maybe a place with a kitchen. I wouldn't mind doin' some cooking. Learnin' something new?

[That's a look he's giving you, Spy.]

[not_onyourside]

You mean on a stove and not over a fire?

[sentryslinger]

I'd ask Sniper if I wanted to learn more about campfire cookin'.

[not_onyourside]

Zhat ees eef he actually cooks any of zhe zhings he hunts.

I would be more zhan willing to lay around een bed all day while you cook me dinner.

[sentryslinger]

I was thinkin' you might show me a thing or two. You seem like a man who knows his food.

[not_onyourside]

I most certainly do, and I would be delighted to teach you. Eet will be fun!

[Famous last words.]

[sentryslinger]

Better start lookin' for that vacation spot with a kitchen, then.

[Whoop, there's more rain coming down.]

[not_onyourside]

[He darts ahead for the door so he can hold it open for Engie.]

Perhaps a cabin nestled een zhe woods. Or a beach house.

[sentryslinger]

I do like the beach. My Gunslinger, not so much. A cabin might be homey, though.

[He runs through, uttering a thanks to Spy as he shakes water from his shoes.]

[not_onyourside]

[Probably for the best. Spy being on the beach would pose several problems. The first being his refusal to take off any of his layers for any reason.]

A cabin might be nice. I am sure zhe snow would not be so bad eef we had shelter and blankets and hot cocoa.

[sentryslinger]

So long as we're not stuck in a warehouse again, it'll be an upgrade.

[Time to wait for the elevator. The clerk at the desk nods to them in greeting, recognizing them. Kind of hard to forget those two.]

[not_onyourside]

Well anyzzing would be better now zhat we know we are not going to kill each ozzer.

[He smiles to the clerk before getting on the elevator.]

I would not mind going sledding again, zhough not on a dispenser.

[sentryslinger]

And let's steer as clear of your Soldier as we can. Had a couple of close calls that I'd rather not repeat.

[not_onyourside]

Zhe one on my team does not spend zhat much time at zhe base. He has raccoons to look after.

[sentryslinger]

But how's he feel about BLUs?

[not_onyourside]

About zhe same as he feels about communists and hippies and foreigners. So I am glad he does not spend zhat much time on zhe base.

Let zhe wizard deal wez him.

[sentryslinger]

Better him than us, then. I'm bettin' if he got a hold of me, I'd be tied up in the basement, maybe tortured for information before he'd blow me to smithereens.

[not_onyourside]

His torture probably eenvolves reading zhe constitution at you until you crack.

He would blow himself up een zhe process too, but do not worry, I would not let zhat happen to you.
