Blueprints 004: Music for the soul

[hardhat_truckie]

When Engie opened up the parcel for him, he had to admit he was fairly surprised and happy to get his guitar back. Taking out the instrument, he proceeded to tune the guitar, glad for something to help him take his mind off what happened during Halloween. Building and modifying machines were good and all, but sometimes he needed a break from them,

Garage!!!!

*Sniper should be manning the garage, or changing the oil of that car up on the lift. But instead he's out back pegging a tire with his bow. There's a good 30 arrows stuck in the thing already.*

People who ain't never met you maybe. Yer not...

*He makes a vague hand gesture...*

Well you ain't nothin' loike that whacker.

[hardhat_truckie]

Slim, we've only known each other for a month. Don't git me wrong, I consider ya a friend an' all, but...how would ya know what's me, an' what's not?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He's eying you strangely now.*

I guess I wouldn't.

[hardhat_truckie]

I, I dunno what he told ya. But...I know whatever it was, it must've hurt like the Devil itself. If you're like the Sniper on my team, you wouldn't have socked'im one unless he deserved it. An' I don't doubt he did.

He must've been pretty alike ta me, if ya got that upset.

I've heard worse.

*But not by much. Sniper just shoulders his newly returned gun and shrugs.*

Nothin' t' do about it now. It happened. It's done with. Doubt th' towns too keen on repeating itself often so we shouldn't 'ave to worry about it.

[hardhat_truckie]

Guess so.

But...thanks Slim. For believin' in me. Makes this cowboy real happy ta know that someone out there's willin' ta gimme a chance. Kinda funny how that happened actually, considerin' that we're RED and BLU and all. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, and I'm greatful that I got ta be your friend.

(Engie finally cracks a smile. Such a pal you are, Sniper.)

*He's not really sure how to respond to that.*

I'm glad. You need some cheerin' up then. You up fer a beer?

[hardhat_truckie]

That sounds like a mighty fine idea Slim. I'd love ta have one with ya.

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He looks down at his watch for a second.*

I'm off work in two hours. Want t' meet over at th' bar afterwards?

[hardhat_truckie]

Sure thing. I'll see ya there then Snipes.
