It's a Sad, Sad Situation...

[ooeeooahah]

Thursday morning, phone, filtered from drones:

[ Ilsa's voice is tight, and quiet. ]

For those that knew him, BLU Pyro is... he's droned. His things are gone, so it seems it might be...

[ She sighs, and after a moment, continues. ]

He's gone.

You mean loike permanently?

....

*Just silence. He doesn't know what else to say.*

[ooeeooahah]

Thank you for responding, I do appreciate it.

[bye_to_yer_head]

No worries mate. Lemme know if th' drone version bothers you too much. I'd be happy t' lock 'I'm up somewheres.

[ooeeooahah]

Thank you. I hope it won't come to that, but it's good to have backup.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Anytime. Maybe you should think about movin'. Or kicking him out. Seein' him every day is bound t' be unnerving.

[ooeeooahah]

My other safe haven has just as many drones, I'm afraid. Still, I can lock myself in the basement when it gets bad.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Shouldn't that be the other way around? It's yer house afterall.

[ooeeooahah]

[ She chuckles softly, ] You haven't seen my basement.

[bye_to_yer_head]

That almost sounds loike a threat. What all is down there?

[ooeeooahah]

My apartment. Started the project when I got here, and was assigned to someone who... preferred to avoid physical contact.

[bye_to_yer_head]

So Pyro ain't the first t' come and go? That's rough.

[ooeeooahah]

He wasn't the first, no. But Pyro replaced Hakkai, and I haven't been faced with his drone, yet.

[ She gives a small sigh. ]

Seeing Pyro act this way is... disturbing.

[bye_to_yer_head]

What's 'e doin? The only drone I've had t' deal with is the one who thinks I married her.

[ooeeooahah]

Would the Pyro you know have joined the bowling league? He's being... chummy.

[ You can practically hear the shudder through the phone. ]

It does get him out from underfoot, but it's not him.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Eugh. I can't say I know him that well, he wasn't one I was stationed with, but that don't sound loike any Pyro I've ever met.

I'm sure I'll see him at the bar braggin' about how he did that day.
