6 Rockets Fired :: Look What the Cat Dragged In [Video]

[defendnhills]

[The video clicks on to see the muddy tread of a boot. Someone's stepping on the communicator. As it's slowly picked up, you can see it's Soldier, and from the cuts on his face and the caked blood on his outfit, it looks like he has a rough week. He smirks at the communicator a little bit before coughing roughly.]

There you are. Been look'n for

Huh?

[meet_the_scout]

SAHGE!

[No doubt that within moments the boy is already out the door and headed to where he thinks Soldier happens to be, trying to focus on the comm and where he's going at the same time.]

'Ey, you okay, man?! Keep talkin'! What the hell- how did you- ...Hardhat's not there?

[defendnhills]

[He chuckles weakly.] Seems not. Maybe these Scientists got tired of him... [Cough, COUGH!]

How about... you do the talking... 'ur good at that, Private.

[meet_the_scout]

Damn it!Of all the REDs, they gotta take the one that feeds me.

[And was friendly. And wasn't trying to kill them. And he maybe kinda liked a little. (Hey, he was more or less just like the one he knew, anyway.) But guys come and go on the job all the time, and soon enough, Scout isn't dwelling on it. He'd have time to think about it later- if he remembered- after he found the old jerk.]

You listen t'me, then! If you freakin' die on me or somethin' retahded like that, I'll have to be in cha'ge, an' you don't want me in cha'ge now do ya? That'd mean that I'd be the one carryin' the shovel...

[Aw fu--look away for a minute and this kind of shit happens. Tobias had been wondering where Soldier had gone off to...well, here was his answer. The hawk took off from his perch on a rooftop, flipping through his mind for a location match. He flapped up over the roofline, and then took off at speed.]

< You're going to need more than a few bandaids there, buddy...>

[defendnhills]

I'll [Cough.] be fine. Just need a rest before--[Cough, cough.] Before I come back into... town.

[morphinbirdboy]

[So, he was close enough to hear him, at least; Tobias was over trees now, and was circling where he last heard the sound of a voice. For dead trees, they provided a surprisingly dense bit of cover.]

< Are you bleeding?>

[defendnhills]

[Soldier is silent for a moment. He never likes being in situations like this. Not because of the pain, it's the insistence of others trying to help you and putting themselves in danger.]

[He puts a hand to his side. No overnight miracle for him, those ribs are probably still broken. The gash isn't looking good, either.]

Not as much as I was.

[3_hat_day]

Jesus, man, are you nuts?!

[defendnhills]

I was offered the opportunity to blow shit up! Like any RED BLOODED AMERICAN I SEIZED IT! [This outburst is followed by a coughing fit and a few moments of Soldier trying to catch his breath.]

[3_hat_day]

As much as I'd like to agree, mate, you could have stood to plan it a bit better.

[Homestar had donned his large orange mixing bowl, looking into the camera at close range as if the communicator had shirt collars by which to be grabbed by]

BENIDETTO! I AIN'T GONNA LOOSE YOU, MAN! NOT LIKE I DID...THE, uh OTHER BENIDETTO!
[He turns to run to the shopping district and beyond]
WAAAAAAAAA-click-

[video]

[defendnhills]

[Soldier lets out a very tired sigh as Homestar begins to run.]

Homerun! Just CALM DOWN son, don't you come running out here! [Cough] I'm fine.

Re: [video]

[tawifik_athleet]

[muffled by his pocket(does he have pockets?)]
BENIDETTOOOOO!!...
[still continues to run]

[dontcallmegol]

{Hold up, did you say the powers GAVE OUT? How could that be?}

... you lost your abilities?

[defendnhills]

[He gives Ace a single, tired nod.] Fun while I had 'em.

Got any fruit that fixes broken ribs?

[dontcallmegol]

Weird. The powers are usually permanent. {He scratches his head.} Huh.

No, sorry. But you can go see Chopper at the hospital. He'll fix you up.

[defendnhills]

[Chopper. Chopper. He's heard that name before. Wait.]

You mean that little fuzzy thing with the horns? He's a doctor? Huh. I'll drop his name. When... I get there.

[Soldier closes his eyes and leans his head back against the tree again.]
