Open RP Thread: Ground Control to Major Tom

[lugged-nut.livejournal.com]

Who: RED and BLU Soldiers + audience? maybe
When: 5/19, 0600 hours
Where: The Vault

At six AM sharp that morning, however reluctantly, the former RED Engineer trudged across the hard-packed earth toward the Vault. His helmet straps jounced listlessly against his unshaven cheeks. Only half his collar was turned up. The other half sagged listlessly against his shoulder, along with the butt of his rocket launcher. He had to pause periodically to rub his eyes, with the air of somebody who dearly wished he hadn't skipped his morning coffee in his haste to get dressed.

But he was there, he figured, despite the fact that he could barely see the ground in front of him. And at this hour, that was what counted, right?

Letting out an impressive yawn, he rounded the last corner and glanced around for his teacher, all but certain the lunatic BLU had made it there before him.

The longer he watched, the longer it felt like he was watching someone taking turns with one of those strength games at a carnival; one would give it a try and hardly send the weight up more than a few inches. Then the strongman came along and gave it a whack hard enough to ring the bell at the top.
He sure hope Sid could at least get halfway up to the bell by noon, if they were kept out there for that long.
Either way, he was stuck there with his Medigun and hoping he wouldn't have to sew anything too important back on.
