big fan of the potential implications that the quick-fix's healing beam is like a physical rope in some capacity due to its ability to allow medic to follow a jumping soldier or demoman
“ i’ve got your back, okay? ” // for bill, from survivor!verse danny :]
QUESTION PROMPTS.
✘ — He kept his back facing the other survivor, hiding the way his mouth thinned in distaste. There was little comfort to be found in those words. Not with that damn look in those eyes. He'd seen it before plenty in 'Nam and he'd seen it plenty during the damn Flu. People who reveled a little bit too much in the atrocities of war, or whatever in God's name this hellhole could be counted as.
Far from his first choices in who he'd want by his side when there was a sadistic bastard hunting them all down. Damn shame beggars couldn't be choosers. Better someone than no one in this place, even if trust remained an issue.
" Let's make this clear kid, I ain't expecting you to take a bullet for me, " Bill muttered, flicking the ashes off his cigarette to the side before making his way towards the generator, keeping low. Why was it always God damn generators, " Just keep your eyes peeled open and we'll both make it out of this alright, understood ? "
I do have personal headcanon's for BLU team / how it differs / how it connects to MVM and might talk ab or add some to roster in future,,,,, still testing things out here
Medic stood up straighter, rubbing his chin with quirked eyebrow as he took in his surroundings. Completely unfamiliar, that much he could tell. Odd, if he would add another. But truly fascinating as well. It wouldn't be the first time one of the Engineer and himself's experimentations with the teleporter went array, but it was a rare occurrence for it to malfunction so grandly that he be taken somewhere, well, Heaven knows where.
" Ah, hallo ? Hallo there ? " he called out towards a nearby lady, waving slightly as he hurried his steps to catch up, adjusting his hair and his clothing ( though taken into further consideration, perhaps the latter was hardly necessary. Habits, habits ).
" Quite sorry for the intrusion, miss, " the Medic continued with a smile, reconsidering it for a moment and dropping it for more serious expression, " Could you, er, perhaps tell me where our current locations in the world is ? I'm afraid I find myself quite lost ! Quite lost indeed. "
The moment's awkwardness was only punctuated by Pauling's indignant display — her poor attempt at the cartoonish cadence, the silence that lingered between them immediately after, her clammy palm gripping coltishly against the doorway: a perfectly painful scene, garnished with an unsubtle grin that beamed across cringing features.
"... Oh god, that was really bad, wasn't it? Sorry, I couldn't pass up the moment—"
She offered a pained chuckle upon her platitude, attention shifting almost immediately down like the moment had never happened. Without warning, her opposite hand was offered up abruptly for inspection, a painful twist contorting and swelling through the normally slim wrist. Painful, no doubt. Still, she was comically chipper, as though she were merely asking a colleague for a pen or staples.
"—Anyway, I think my arm is broken — can you give me a hand?"
No pun intended... maybe.
[ Miss Pauling staying silly despite the horrors, Medic 😌 ]
✘ — No, no... that still didn't seem quite right.
A sigh fell past his lips before pursing them as he crossed out the past five minutes of scribbling he'd accomplished. One would think it would be simple enough to figure out a way to give a mycelium a mammilian's body ! He'd get there eventually, he knew that long ago, but even the greatest minds had their moments. Still, no less frustrating to run into such pointless blocks.
Frown still graced Medic's face as he heard someone approach, ready to tell them off — after all, he was quite busy — when he heard exactly who it was. Immediately, he smiled to greet the other, though a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes as Miss Pauling babbled on apologies for whatever reason. Were her first words supposed to be some sort of reference ? He wasn't quite sure. It sounded familiar, certainly. Though it was likely something more for her to seem so distraught over it.
Or perhaps it was the blood loss that was causing her grief. Or was it a concussion ? She did seem a bit unfocused... Oh well, das macht nichts.
" Ah ! Haha, " Medic laughed regardless, waving his hand casually as he shook his head with cheer, shoving the pulsing white mass on his desk to the side with the back of his pen, " No worries, no worries ! Far be it for I to discourage someone from taking a chance, javol ? In fact, you caught me at quite an interesting time. Would you like to see— " he paused mid-sentence as he registered the Miss Pauling's hand, stopping and adjusting his glasses to take a closer look with intrigue.
Oh, yes. That was indeed quite broken.
" I see, I see. Of course ! I'd be delighted to help, " it didn't look too bad, nothing the medi-gun couldn't top off at least, but it didn't hurt to be ready for worse. He gestured rapidly for her to move towards the gurney in the middle of the room before swiftly going to where a pile of medkits were haphazardly lying open.
" Er, was that literal, by the way ? " he asked loudly, picking up his bonesaw from untop some pill bottles and glancing backwards, " You see, Soldier took all of my remaining spare human hands, he required it for some... project or another. So I'm afraid I'm all out for the time being. I do happen to have some spare lion paws, however, if you'd like ! I'm certain that it wouldn't be too much of a difference. Who knows, it might even be better ! "
