Chapter Thirty Seven!
~ON THE ROAD AGAIN. ON FOOT~
It was the same day; only later. The RED team ditched their stolen RV, lacking the patience or willpower to fix it, and therefore had to hoof it. Hopefully they were now going the correct way.
As they broke the tree line (significantly closer in this direction) everyone realised they hadn't eaten or had a drink in several days. More importantly, they had not, well, urinated.
And so jarate was made.
Later the REDs made their merry way across a mile or so of lovely fresh meadow.
PERFECT PLACE FOR A MASSACRE? Nope. Too nice. Maybe later.
Next they wondered past an abandoned haunted mansion (?)
PERFECT PLACE FOR A DEATH BATTLE? Nah. Too dreary.
In fact the team made it all the way to their ex-base with nary a single fight. Not including those between themselves, of course. Example? Very well, citizen;
"What? No," the Soldier had said, patronising the Demoman, "if this was a movie, I'd be the badass main character. You'd either be brainless villain or guy-who-gets-killed."
"Yeah? Come say that t' me 'nade launcher!"
"I know a little more about fighting than you do, pal!"
"Y'may as well quit arguin', yer both wrong," the Sniper interrupted, "Sniper's always the hero in movies." This encouraged the Spy to protest;
"Now that's incorrect. All the best leads are spies, are they not?"
"Uh, not," the Heavy went with, causing the fist fight between those five to break out. Feeling excluded, the others started their own debate.
"Toasties are better than toast," the Medic put down as a topic. Lamely indeed. However because the Engy agreed but the Pyro and Scout didn't, the quarrel ended in;
"STALEMATE!" an announcing voice boomed from the skies. The Soldier, Demoman, Sniper, Spy and Heavy paused briefly to 'boooo!' then carried on punching each other, impressively as they walked.
Regardless, they had managed to reach their destination alive. May have been the most miraculous feat so far. Their base wasn't exactly humming with activity, yet it did seem to at least be in recent use.
"Okay, are we sure – an' I mean freakin' certain – this was our old base?" the Scout checked, motioning to the building.
"It looks kinda red where the paint's chipped," the Engy noted, examining the walls from their new hiding-spot.
"Promising sign," the Soldier mused. The Pyro then said;
"Mmm mrrf!" ("Good enough!") So they went for it.
Aww yeah it is on B)
Uh, now something's come up. Turns out I'm going on holiday with the family in about ten minutes...
Which I may have completely forgotten about :/
In other words I might not be able to access a computer for up to a week, which you can imagine would make updating difficult
Will try my best guys, but if not I'll see you with a big update after :) Thanks for reading!
