Thirty-seven Fires Set [filtered from drones, et al]

...

This place is going to hell faster than usual. I don't like hearing air raid sirens...Never have.

I also don't like seeing hazmat suits in the fucking streets. Anyone else seen them? I'd get ready for a fight...

Tell me you're joking. The suits again?

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...I wish I were. I swear to god I saw them.

[thenorthernwall]

This just got bad.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

It was already bad.

[thenorthernwall]

It got worse. I'm not going near those things.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything to fear from them right now, but...I don't blame you.

[thenorthernwall]

I spoke to him. The Russian.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

So did I. He smokes and his name is Boris. That's what I found out.

[thenorthernwall]

...I'm coming over there until this is over.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Alright. The rest of RED might be over here, too.

[thenorthernwall]

Mm. In that case, I'll stay here. You're protected enough.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...If you're sure.

[thenorthernwall]

I'm sure.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Alright...Take care of yourself.

[thenorthernwall]

You, too.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Oh I'll show them a fight. I'll take every single last one of those maggots to hell with me if it comes to it.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid to fight them again...Nothing to fear from them.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Neither do I. We should set up a control point.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. We need a place that's safe to gather at. I can offer my place, like usual, but...there's kids here.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

We don't have much time to think about it. We can probably use mine.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Get over here. The major general is going to stay here for the time being. We can make it work.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

I'll be on my way.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll be here.

[teutonictraitor.livejournal.com]

Zhe air sirens vere more zhan a bit unexpected. But I heff not seen zhe hazmats yet. [[He sounds completely calm.]]

I do believe zhat you know to call me if you und zhe rest of zhe team vant to fight anyzhing, ja? I do so hate being left out.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. If this is anything like Westport...Don't go outside. I'm not leaving without my mask. It's dangerous to even risk breathing if they're spraying.

[teutonictraitor.livejournal.com]

It is zhat bad, hm? I do not plan on being stopped by zhese enemies, however. I merely heff to go about my business anozher vay until zhis is over.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

The gas they spray is suffocating...not flammable, though.

[teutonictraitor.livejournal.com]

Zhat is somezhing, at zhe very least. Do zhey heff any notable veaknesses zhat could be used against zhem if needed?

[[Medic isn't planning anything, but he doesn't want to be unprepared should they come rolling by.]]

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

The gas inside their suits is flammable. Puncture them and light them up.

[teutonictraitor.livejournal.com]

...interesting. Danke, Herr--I vill most certainly remember zhat.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

...for a fight? Really?

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Did I stutter?

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Just really hoped I'd misheard. I do that sometimes.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Just...get ready and stay inside. Don't go out unless you have to.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Yessir. I can do that.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

Keep a wet cloth nearby to cover your mouth and nose, just in case...

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Wh...

...yeah, okay. I will.

Thanks.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...yeah, yeah, don't thank me.

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

Oy, oy, no more 'f this running headfirst into situations before we've got an idea of what we're up against. If they are th' same mooks from Westport, fightin' them would just result in all of us chokin' t' death on those gasses again.

(Beat, then dryly:)

Well, you'd be jus' foine, but th' rest of us would loike t' keep our lungs.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

The best you can do is a wet cloth...I don't think there's a place that sells gas masks here. If anyone I care about gets hurt, all bets are off. I'm rushing in and killing whatever I can.

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

We moight be able t' jimmy t'gether something using duct tape if we raid th' 'ospital, but I'd really rather not things get to that point.

Less people would get hurt if people stopped just running in 'eadfirst.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

I don't even know if it's safe to leave the house right now...Speaking of, if you can, get over here. We're using my house as a safe place and a base of operations...

It's their own damn fault if they run in without thinking.

[haveaplan.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Roight now I've got my 'ands full tryin' t' keep my family from scatterin' t' th' winds.

(sighs) It's loike 'erding cats.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...Good luck with that.
