Blueprints 001: We're not in Kansas anymore...

A. Action for 1450 Mitchell StreetWell, this is awkward. The first thing Benjamin Williamson sees when he opens his eyes is that there's a woman sleeping RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. Good morning GLaDOS, have a very flustered Texan yell out in surprise as he scrambles away from you, only to fall off the bed. Or maybe he's woken you up Tachikoma, because he's

first he pretends t' be you an' now he's stealin' yer things. Little spaz just don't know when t' quit.

[hardhat_truckie]

Slim? That you pardner? Mind comin' round and givin' me a lift back ta base please? Solly must be throwin' a fit by now.

we can't ever avoid awkward. this'll be odd when they realize they're not on the same side.

If I could I would. I don't 'ave my camper and apparently we can't leave. You jus' get here?

It's Sniper's curse. Don't worry though, Engie'll still be nice to him.

[hardhat_truckie]

Well, I woke up in bed here, if that's what'cha mean.

What happened to your camper? Is she alright? Spah better not have messed with her again, sometimes that man is such a child.

(Trust Engie to think first about the Land Rover.)

Sniper can't win.

If that bloody spook so much as looks at 'er while I'm here I'll personally deliver his head t' Medic.

*Well hell, he hadn't even thought about that. What was happening to his stuff while he's here?*

Hn. No, it jus' didn't show up with me. Strewth, Spy better not be rootin' around in it while I'm not there.

[hardhat_truckie]

Where IS here Snipes? And you said we can't leave this place?

[bye_to_yer_head]

It's called Mayfield. Don't ask me how it works because I still don't get it. Whole lot 'f us here, not jus' from the teams but other folks too.

No luck so far, but I haven't tried all th' roads out.

[hardhat_truckie]

Mayfield huh? Can't say I know the place.

Who else is here Snipes? We can gather the rest and try out the other roads.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Well there's....

Actually I guess it depends on if yer with RED or BLU. Either way I haven't met 'em all, only been here a week myself.

[hardhat_truckie]

Who's to say that we can't get the other team out as well? If they're stuck here, the least we could do is to give them a lift back home. Common courtesy and all. We may be tryin' ta blow each other up on a daily basis, but we can be civil 'bout it.

But if you really wanna know, I'm RED.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Ah. I'm BLU.

But t' answer yer question you've got a Scout, th' other Sniper, Pyro, an' a Spy. I've got Medic, Pyro, an' Scout. Supposedly there's a BLU Spy too but he seems t' be avoidin me.

Miss Pauling is around too.

[hardhat_truckie]

Well, s'long as you don't go snipin' me or my team mates, I ain't got a problem with ya. Same applies to your team mates and mine as well.

Hmm, seems like we got tons of RED and BLU around. And the boss's second-in-command too? This here seems mighty strange pardner. I don't get what we're all doin' out here.

Would ya mind me calling you Slim by the way? S'what I call the RED one.

[bye_to_yer_head]

I'm not about t' go shootin' people when we're off th' field. Cept maybe th' Spy. I don't get it either, but I'm tryin' not to think about it too much.

S'long as you don't mind me callin' you Truckie.

Can these two be buddies? PLEASE?

[hardhat_truckie]

Sure thing then Slim. You got yourself a deal.

So, care to give me the low down on this place then?

They need to be. Engie is the only one Snipes gets along with.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Want a tour?

I'm at work actually, you should stop by, sure you could make somethin' interesting out 'f all this junk lyin' around. Apparently th' town thinks I'm cut out t' be a mechanic.

Everyone loves Engie. =D

[hardhat_truckie]

That's just swell of ya Snipes! I'll be there as soon as I can. Umm...do you happen to know the way there though? I took a look outside and all the houses look the same ta me. I'll probably get lost.
