When Engineer opened the back door, he did not expect to see a massive pile of leaves that somehow was still growing before his eyes.

"Scout! Pyro!" He yelled as he walked around the pile. Engineer couldn't find the two mercenaries, and he doubted that they would do something obvious like hide in the leaf pile. He moved to the garden shed. If he couldn't find the two of them, he still needed to grab some supplies. The door opened with ease thanks to his metal hand, and he went on the prowl. Unbeknownst to him, most of the things he needed were hidden under a lumpy tarp in the darkest corner of the room. However, he continued to search anyway.

Meanwhile, Scout has having a hard time holding in his laughter. He and Pyro were indeed hidden in the giant leaf pile, which was big enough to cover their entire bodies and then some. Scout could see through a tiny gap in the leaves, and watched Engineer disappear into the garden shed. Pyro did a muffled giggle, and then suddenly came up with an idea.

Back in shed, Engineer was rummaging around the shelves. He could not find supplies of any sort and he grumbled. Then he spied a dark shape in the corner, and made his way to it. A piece of tarp lay on top of a bunch of objects, and he pulled it off to reveal his objective.

"There y'all are." He said quietly as he bent over to pick it up. Thanks to the innumerous pockets and bags strapped to his body, he was able to carry quite a bit. "Where the heck are Scout and Pyro?" Engineer thought to himself as he closed the shed door behind him, arms clutching mops and brooms. However, he didn't get very far considering a massive wad of leaves had suddenly hit him square in the face. The mops fell from his hands

Soldier, Demoman and Heavy were freed from the time-out pen after apologizing, and were all put to work helping clean up the disaster alongside Sniper. Medic was cleaning, too, but he was wondering where Engineer had gone. He had left a solid twenty minutes ago, and Medic had seen no sign of the man (Spy had escaped out of fear, and was currently curled up on the roof of the building).

"Where's Truckie?" Sniper asked, looking up from the smear of barbecue sauce he was wiping at with a rag that had seen better days. They really needed those extra supplies.

"He better not be shirking his duties!" Soldier stood up suddenly. "Medic! Let us retrieve him!"

"Aye, let's see what he's up to." Demoman agreed, eager to get a break from cleaning with minimal supplies. The cloth in his hands looked suspiciously like his pants, and his legs looked suspiciously bare. Heavy got up, too.

"Da. Is good idea."

Medic thought it was probably a good idea for them to go together, considering a third of their force had vanished and never returned.

"Alright." Medic agreed. "Let's go."

"Medic?" Heavy asked.

"Ja?" The doctor replied, looking at the disheveled mercenaries.

"Need to get new shirt." Heavy said, gesturing at his stained, torn shirt. It had suffered many casualties in the fight. Demoman glanced down to assess his own state, and was mildly grossed out by the unidentifiable foods covering his shirt. He was also currently lacking in a pair of pants. Sniper was clean, but Soldier was also clearly in dire need of a fresh change of clothes.

"Go on." Medic sighed, flapping his hands at them. Sniper chuckled.

Somehow, Engineer had hooked up a rather large scooping device to the front of his truck, and was currently shoveling masses of leaves into the fearsome pile. If Scout lied on the floor, the pile would be four times his width. It was lacking quite a bit in height, and only reached about half the height of Pyro. While it appeared as if Engineer was helping the other two out, if one looked closer, Engineer would often hit a button, which made the large scoop spring out and launch a rain of leaves down upon Scout, who was trying to throw small wads of leaves at Engineer. Considering they were leaves, they traveled about a foot before bursting apart and then floating gently down.

Pyro had first sat in the passenger seat, eager to see the contraption work, but had quickly gotten bored and went to jump around in the leaf-fall. After Engineer had joined in on the fun, he realized he needed armor to shield himself from the cold, and so had grabbed some jackets from his truck. He was currently sporting a coat with a soft, furry inside and his emblems on the sleeves, and had given Pyro his wrench-patterned scarf.

After the mercs had gotten cleaned up, Medic led them out to the back. However, when he opened to back door, he didn't expect to see a wall of leaves blocking his way. Medic looked back at the others, and then looked at the leaves again. Heavy cracked his knuckles and gazed solemnly at the obstacle. He gently pushed Medic to the side.

"We go." He said, and then walked into the writhing mass of leaves.

"I like your attitude, private!" Soldier yelled, and disappeared behind him into the portal to hell.

"Come on then, lads!" Demoman laughed heartily, looped an arm through Medic's and Sniper's, and then dragged them into the void.
