What? Scared? I’m not scared! You’re scared!

What? Scared? I’m not scared! You’re scared!
…Although, that clattering is getting really foreboding…
Okay. Okay, alright, I got this…
Is there a map??? Please let there be a map of this base…
From the looks of it, I’m nowhere NEAR the kitchen… I know where tha med bay is already, ‘cause I’m trying to avoid it— don’t tell anyone else I said that, alright? Assuming you can… I dunno who i’m talkin’ to on this thing, yet.
If they’ve got a functioning establishment going here, it should be opposite from the med bay, or at least pretty far away, so that crosses a corner of the base off…
But, uh, I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to be surrounded by exposed wiring and pipes on my way there. I mean, I’ve been in buildings worse than this, but c’mon…
No, okay, definitely not-! Turning back now, that room is definitely haunted, and the room beside it is on thin ice. I’m outta here.
Staircase, that’s promising… Gotta have a landmark other than concrete and wood, right? Betting it’s on the first floor, so no scaling those yet…
O-Oh jeez. She was not kidding with the paperwork for this place… uhm…
Right, hahah. Ahah. Ah… Hah… hm. Yeah, this isn’t going to work, is it?
I’ve only seen photos of the other guys, and something tells me that I’m not nearly as big, or tall, or strong, or tall…
Man, guess I’m kind of envious, hahah.
Um, right. This paperwork…
Scout nervously flips through the stacks of typewritten documents, feeling his stomach sink at the tiny lettering crammed into every space of each paper. Even if he could read, he doubts that he could manage to comb through all of this without going bonkers, let alone without a magnifying glass…
No. No way. I’m not going to go looking for those guys, nada. They meet the new guy and the first thing he asks is how t’ read the paperwork he’s gotta sign to work here in the first place?! I’d be doomed…
Scout wrings his hands together, taking a deep breath and facing the empty room in front of him. That sparse desk wouldn’t do anything to help, would it? He needs sunlight, or the buzz of the kitchen light at midnight when an assignment is overdue.
The kitchen. Maybe he can try and focus in there, if he can find it… And if one of the guys finds him, he’d have the excuse of going there to focus on the document…
Hiya! What’s up? What’s good? What’s poppin’- ow! Hey, jeez, okay…
Ahem.
Right, names… Uh, right, “Scout?” Yeah, that’s uh-, that’s me, hahah.
…That does NOT sound right, still…
…Y’sure I can’t just..? No? Oh, jeez- Okay, okay, point taken, Miss Pau- I mean- Shh! Not talking! Not talking! I swear it!-
…
Ookay, then…
M’names the Scout, and I’m the newest recruit here on… On…
Re… Reliah… Rebibble… Exa… Ex… Exits- Exitstations?
Oh, okay. Yeah, that definitely sounds better.
Reliable Excavation & Demolitions team.
Um, I guess this… Thing is for questions? And stuff?
Oh- Right! It’s to keep the cops off our- I mean, it’s for publicity’s sake! To show how great we are at our…
Jobs!
Our jobs! Perfectly normal jobs-! What? Stop signing like that!!! I can’t- How d’you expect me to know what you want me to s- Point taken. Never mind. Moving on.
So uh, basically, kind of a big deal. Still learning the ropes around here, but ya gotta make sure you read tha rules, alright? Otherwise there’s gonna be trouble. Big trouble. And I mean, who wants that?
Is that enough? Oh thank goodness. Thank you—

Don't be that way. They're cute.
Scout
I get it now: you're just mad at him cause he called you a virgin and told everyone you were scared of rainbows.
It's unhealthy to hold onto resentment like that you know.
