So far (in the D20 canon I have watched) Zac Oyama either plays the sweetest most himbo-est man or a deceptive lil shit, I love both these types equally 💕

Awww hell he got the type of blunt that makes you imagine the unending horrors of fatherhood part one of whatever I'll probably not draw much more of this, elusive eraserhead moment (I hate that flilthy baby). Just a hopefully silly comic I ugly sketched out at work while I was bored then lazily outlined digitally between school work because there will never be a day that goes by where I don't draw sniper even if my shoulder REALLY hurts right now
It's probably obvious that I don't smoke weed cebause I'm don't think rolling works like that <3 but thast okay... it's for comedy, just pretend Sniper and Scout also have no idea what they're talking about either.

no one should be allowed to hate Usopp when he's canonically the people's princess. he's Luffy's other half, Zoro's most special little guy and Nami's bestie. he's Sanji's babygirl and Chopper's big bro and Robin's little bro. he's Franky's son and Brook's comedy partner, everyone loves him and would kill anyone who dares to mess with their sniper, like they SHOULD

What makes me sad is that there are very few RWBY crossovers — in general, but in this case specifically — that explore the hilarity of their weapons.
Like. The fandom has gotten so used to it to the point where we’re shocked when the melee weapon isn’t also a gun. We’re desensitized to things like “sniper-rifle-scythe” or “shotgun-gauntlets” or “katana-chain-scythe-handgun.” Non-RWBY characters, even those from an action series, will not be.
Luz Noceda would be alarmed if someone pulled out a seven foot tall sniper-scythe (though she’d fangirl before she’d panic in most circumstances). Percy Jackson will not know how to respond to a gun when he’s been fighting with a sword from antiquity. Adora She-Ra…is probably not gonna react that strongly, actually, but she’s a child soldier who unlocked magical girl powers and is friends with Entrapta, and as such is uniquely suited to cope with the insane bullshittery of RWBY weapons being thrown at her.
Anyway. Missed opportunity for comedy is all.

Thinking abt tf2's comedy writing and character dynamics bear with me... all three canon "pairs" of characters - Medic and Heavy, Soldier, and Demo, Sniper and Spy - have a similar dynamic, a wacky comedic character and a more "straight-man" type of character. Medic and Heavy are probably the example of this people are most familiar with reading and writing this way, but I can argue the case for the other two too! Medic probably does the most absurd things out of any tf2 character, while Heavy is considered one of the most down-to-earth members of the cast and serves to "ground" Medic in reality a little bit; the best example of this in the main comic is, of course, the baboon pregnancy bit, and I would also consider all their dialogue in Meet the Medic to be very representative of this dynamic. People tend to characterize Demo as basically like. "Soldier 2" which I think is slightly accurate but not completely representative of him! While Demo is a very Big personality, very memorable, very bombastic (lol), he DEFINITELY works to ground Soldier if only in that he's actually smart. In the main comic, we see this when Demo is reassuring Soldier he won't be fooled by his civilian disguise, and in the update comics I think this is best shown in the WAR! comic, where Demo has his life together and has a nice ass house and is taking care of his mom n everything, while Soldier is living in the dark surrounded by army surplus tomato soup and boxes from The Rib Place. Now I know Sniper and Spy are going to be a hard sell, because Sniper is not as outwardly Wacky or Silly a character as Medic or Soldier, however he's pretty obviously grounded by Spy in the same way Heavy and Demo ground their partners. Spy is so uptight he's basically begging to be a comedic straight-man, and his repeated displays of disgust towards Sniper's more outlandish and comedic behavior gives him that outlet. Jarate is the most obvious example of this being their dynamic, but I also think the part in the comic where Spy is exceedingly disgusted by Sniper's nudity and yet refuses to give up his very expensive suit jacket counts towards this (in general, having a clothed character react strongly to a naked character's nudity is what keeps the repeated use of nudity in the tf2 comics funny, imo). Theirs is a liiiittle bit different tho, since in the process of "grounding" Sniper, Spy is also performing one of his own signature jokes (thinking he's hot fuckin shit when he's really no better shakes than anyone else in his situation)

Helluva Rewrite: Moxxie
Tumblr media
A big thing with Moxxie was just me wanting him to not look like a butler. I don’t know what it is with Viv and men in suits, but I'm not a fan. To keep his vest from blending into his pants, I untucked a bit of his undershirt. I want each member of IMP to stand out visually from one another (because all imps literally look related to some degree lol) so I gave Moxxie green in his color palette to contrast the orangish red tone I gave his skin. I also think green eyes will help him stand out very nicely from the group. Instead of striped I put gold rings on his tail and gave him a couple rings on his fingers because greed and gold. Since Viv loves bowties, I let Mox keep his but made it droopy because I think it’s cuter. Originally, I was going to keep his coattails, but I feel like with the shape of his legs it just muddies his silhouette. 
With Moxxie there isn’t much about his character I have to gripe about or want to change. He’s a skilled gunman with knowledge of the subject and history of guns. Cool, now for that, I’m working in his greed traits and decided that he outright hoards guns (since viv wants to claim imps hoard things). Moxxie has a vast collection and is always keeping them nice and spiffy. 
Now one thing I don’t like about Moxxie is his insecurity. Moreso the fact that it’s constantly being played up, like in Unhappy Campers where he’s like a crotchety old woman going through menopause because his wife is more popular than him. At that point it’s just stupid for the sake of drama. Since I made Millie the insecure one, I’m going to play up Moxxie’s straight man status. 
Moxxie is going to be the level headed cool sniper type I suppose. He’s not going to be as expression as Millie, the blue oni to her red in a sense. I think the comedy of that could be when something does make him lose his composure (I think I'll draw up a redone scene as an example) like Millie’s parents outright disliking him or Striker singing about how he sucks and should go fuck himself. I like the idea that because of his childhood as the son of an abusive mob boss father he’s learned to shove bad feelings down rather than express them outright. This doesn’t mean I want him to be a stone faced rock. No, I mostly just want him to express surface level exasperation and frustration with Blitzø’s antics (like his big “WHAT?” when Blitz mentions he hired Strikker) 
So an example of this could be Striker’s song. After he tells Moxxie to go fuck himself, a close shot of Moxxie’s face shows it twitching. He adjusts his glasses, stands up, and excuses himself. (Millie recognizes that this is bad because she knows him and follows) But she loses him in Striker’s fangirl crowd. Moxxie will be visibly upset as he climbs the stairs before hearing Millie calling for him and regaining his composure – until he notices the glow coming from Striker’s room that catches his attention. 
So I don’t want this Moxxie to be a straight-faced ass, just a more composed character. 
Back to his insecurity real quick! Mozzie is a trained assassin but his is not physically strong enough to fight hand to hand. This is a weak spot for him because his father constantly shat all over him growing up and would literally smack him around and Moxxie was (in his own mind) too physically weak to stop it from happening. 
As to how he met Blitzo... well in this I don’t want the bs jail in hell bit because there has been no justifiable ass pulls by Viv or the team. Idk I'm having trouble. Maybe they met through Millie? Like Moxxie meets Millie doing something and is like ‘holy shit I love this chick fuck you dad I'm out.’ 
Idk that’s what I'm going with I'll fix it later this took way too long to do and i'll still gotta do Blitzo and Stolas and maybe the other characters and then maybe rework season one idk i'll focus on just doing Blitzo and reworking my Loona again

Dating Scout/Jeremy would include...
Tumblr media
Jeremy would fall in love with you at the moment he first laid his eyes on you
you both were both on team RED
he would flirt with you 24/7
he asked spy about some dating advices
but he never really thought you would like him back
so when he confess to you and you said you liked him back, oh boy he was over the moon!
Jeremy realized he LOVED you on your first date
your date was simple yet amazing - you two had picnic near a small lake
it was very beautiful, spring started so there was a lot of flowers
you two had amazing time together
and then you two kissed, it was his first kiss and it was magical for him
Jeremy would be such a cute and funny boyfriend
also VERY protective one, maybe even overprotective
he would introduce you to his friends like sniper and pyro, soldier, spy, etc
they were happy for him but some of them were kinda jealous of suspicious
cuddles all the time
and pretty much all the time he has his hands on you
he's very touchstarved, like his mother loves him and all but she isn't much cuddling person yk
he also loves listening to you mumbling about anything
apart your lips, he loves kissing your neck
like I said he will flirt with you before you started dating but after you two started dating, his flirting and cocky jokes wouldn't stop at all
he loves to see you blushing, but he's mostly the one who gets flustered easily
watching horor/comedy movies together
he loves your thighs (and ass, I mean he loves all of your body parts)
he can't cook, but you can so sometimes he cooks with you, he likes being with you and he doesn't care what are you doing
he loves the food you made, BUT what he loves the most is things you bake like muffins or some kind of cake
he really loves you and he would do anything for you, even kill (he doesn't really mind killing yk)
like I said he is kinda overprotective so when you two are on a battlefield he always keep his eye on you, just in case
when you two fight and kill people on a battlefield he is amazed by your strength
he knows you can take care of yourself but that doesn't mean that he can not be worried about you
he follows you around like a lost puppy (but he would never admit it)
he loves you to death!

obviously i don't have any requests yet so i asked a friend for a random scenario to write headcanons about and i was told merc movie night. so :)
scout
- throws a fit about whatever he wants to watch being chosen but it never gets picked because he has terrible taste
- literally guzzles his entire drink within the first five minutes of the movie and then refuses to get up to pee unless the movie is paused
- his attention span is awful so he stops paying attention for half the movie and then bugs someone (probably spy.) to recap him on what happened
- "who's that" "what's his name" "why is he doing that" "wait where are they" "how does it end"
soldier
- attention span is worse than scout's. ends up trying to talk through the entire thing, gets shushed violently
- if the movie really bores him he falls asleep like someone's dad and snores in a way that is so devilish. gets throw pillows pressed over his face
- if he manages to get sucked into whatever they're watching he will randomly bring up things from it weeks later and nobody realizes what he's talking about and he doesn't have the capacity to explain
- gets so comfy cozy on the couch but then tosses and turns the whole time because his comfy cozy never lasts
pyro
- straight up does not care what they watch, just happy they're hanging out
- gets super into the movie and reacts verbally and physically to what's happening on screen
- asks engineer questions if he gets confused about what happened. he rarely gets confused though because he pays such close attention
- loves slapstick comedy flicks
engineer
- falls asleep no matter how much he's interested in what they watch. head thrown back, throat gurgling, demonic snoring emanating from this man. elbowed awake by pyro and scout but it never lasts he goes right back to sleep
- will fuck up some popcorn
- hates when spy's movie gets picked because it's always some foreign arthouse film he does not care to understand. he likes things that make sense and have a good plot
- doesn't bother for a recap on whatever he missed while he was asleep. he goes into movie nights knowing he'll fall asleep so he doesn't get upset about missing anything
demoman
- similarly to engineer, he will FUCK UP some popcorn. he is absolutely destroying that shit and every other snack that's provided. he needs to constantly be doing something with his hands and can't sit still for an entire movie so he just shovels popcorn down his throat
- spends half the movie squinting at the tv because he is so confused. it could be spelled out on screen and he still doesn't know what's going on
- gets up to pee one thousand times and trips over someone every single time
- his movie picks are always great
heavy
- reacts so strongly to high emotion moments in movies. laughs like a maniac at comedies, cries at tragedies. he isn't afraid to show emotion!
- anytime he isn't reacting though he looks so pissed off. arms crossed, back straight, staring dead at the screen
- only one to have never fallen asleep during a movie night. everyone else has AT LEAST once
- will never turn down a little blankie action. toss a nice blanket over his legs he's a happy man
medic
- does not really enjoy movie nights. he enjoys spending some time with the others but it gets to a point where he really wants to be alone and he doesn't know how to politely escape the situation
- cannot handle the sound of snoring so if engineer or soldier are out he is pressing his ear against heavy's shoulder and his own hand over his other ear. he'll guess what the actors are saying
- appreciates spy's movie choices (is the only one that does)
- sits really uncomfortably for the whole movie and has to pace around stretching out when it's over
sniper
- loves a good movie. he really really just enjoys watching a movie he's a simple man. won't complain about whatever gets picked, will just kick his legs up and relax and enjoy it
- expert at rationing his snack and beverage to last the whole time. will not share
- looks like he's asleep but is not he's just very very still and relaxed
- sometimes sits in the floor leaned against the couch rather than on it or on a chair. it's easier for him to get his legs stretched all the way out that way + he tends to give the furniture up for the folks that are going to end up asleep
spy
- as previously mentioned, he always chooses the snobbiest foreignest arthouse films that are no fun to watch and he truthfully doesn't even like that much himself. it's all a facade
- how many cigarettes he goes through during a movie is an indicator of how much he enjoyed it. the more smoked the worse he thought the movie was
- gets really embarrassed if he laughs at something stupid but even spy is not immune to slapstick comedy. he tries to cover it up with a cough but nobody falls for that
- sometimes scout falls asleep on his shoulder and it makes him so mad (he doesn't mind it)
~
yay first post! to anyone who may see this, consider shooting me a request :3

Lazy days with the Tf2 gang!
Scout
A whole lotta trash food and TV
Scout doesn't even think twice when you ask for a lazy day.
He digs up all the snacks he has hidden in his room, some more apetizing than others..
You spend your day, chilling in bed and watching movies...and getting food poisoning...
Soldier
He'll try to nudge you out of bed, but eventually joins you, but not before warning the entire team to not bother you two.
He changes into nothing but grey sweatpants.
Then you watch comedies and documentaries all day.
He has a self-given duty to call all mercs for mealtimes, so he'll carry you with him, announce the meal and then ask you, if you want to stay.
Pyro
Get ready to stay in your pajamas allll day!
You build a pillow fort with a TV and stuffed toys inside, where you spend your day, watching cartoons.
Also you eat nothing but brightly coloured cereal and marshmallows.
Demoman
When you decide to have a lazy day, you two don't even leave the bed, unless you need to use the bathroom or grab something to eat.
There's a whole lotta cuddles with him.
If you want food or there's a chore that needs to be done, you'll have to play a bit of rock, paper, scissors to decide who leaves the bed.
Engineer
Engineer will try to get work done, but will give in, when you suggest today to be a lazy day.
He changes into more comfortable clothing and makes you whatever drink you'd like.
If you get called for a meal time, he will just grab you two servings and eat in bed.
He'd also love to cuddle.
Heavy
Despite your protests, Heavy will complete miniature tasks, that don't take up much time.
You two eventually compromise, by him letting you lay on his back, arms wrapped around his neck. Like a koala and her baby.
He'll cook ANYTHING for you as well.
Medic
Just like a lot of the mercs, he wants to work, but he's the one who doesn't give in so quickly.
You beg for him to stop working, but he's already laid down a team member on the operating table.
The teammate sees your pleading eyes, winks, and excuses themselves, leaving the lab.
Now that his patient has left, he has no choice but to join you in bed. The next day, he will be more energetic than ever before.
Sniper
Again, he takes his job very seriously, so he'll try to dress in his uniform and go practice, but the sight of you spread across his bed, tangling yourself in the blanket, convinces him to stay.
Most of the day is spent napping and cuddling.
He becomes more talkative as well, telling stories of his own and asking you random questions about you.
If you want to eat, or something actually needs to be done, he'll do it, since he's the one who wanted to work.
Spy
Just like Heavy, he tries to do small tasks, before you step in and say that you don't want to do anything today.
He obliges, but not before taking a few books with him, joining you in bed.
If you ask him to, he'll read out loud for you.
If you fall asleep, he just might leave for a bit for a smoke or something, but he'll quickly return.
Ms. Pauling
Sadly, the lazy day comes only once a year, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it.
Ms. Pauling still tries to get work done on the side, but that's what you're here for.
You have to drag her into bed and serve her breakfast with a cup of relaxing tea to make her stay.
And, maybe, a massage or a nice bath will make her feel better. Sure, it may not turn out to be such a lazy day for you, but maybe it's worth it to see your girlfriend not seem so tense anymore ♡.

Why Spy and Sniper are opposites (and why they understand each other)
Tumblr media
(A Team Fortress 2 meta.)
I had this in my drafts half-written for a while and then felt motivated enough to finish it up after seeing @gobbogoo's excellent meta about the professionalism aspect of Sniper and Spy's relationship.
I love foil characters. In my mind, what can make a foil compelling is when the two characters are opposites in many ways, they are also, at their cores, the same in the ways that really matter. When you get right down to it.
Mechanics (Or Far vs Close)
Sniper and Spy were literally made for each other.
In-game, Sniper and Spy are designed to counter each other. The Sniper vs Spy Update introduced multiple weapons for both Sniper and Spy that were designed to undo specifically the Spy and Sniper classes. They were introduced day-by-day in a comical, "Your new toy may counter mine, but now my new toy counters that!" fashion. Sniper's Razorback shield prevents Spy backstabbing him. Spy's Ambassador allows Spy to kill Snipers wearing a Razorback, and so on.
When you play as Sniper or Spy, different gameplay styles emerge from their different strengths and weaknesses. Sniper works well at a distance, behind the rest of his team, because his primary weapons are long range. Spy works well close up because of his ability to instantly kill with backstabs. And Spy's disguises can be more convincing if he's where the enemy team is, so he works well when he's ahead of the rest of his team.
Dirty vs Clean
Sniper roughs it with his (Cosy Camper) backpack and his camper van. Spy wears Louis Vuitton suits (or rather, "Louis Crabbemarché"--TF2 universe's counterpart), as mentioned in The Naked and the Dead comic:
Tumblr media
Sniper urinates in mason jars and throws them as a weapon (Jarate). Spy has a special knife (Your Eternal Reward) that kills so cleanly, it instantly removes the body. Spy calls Sniper "filthy" as an insult in-game. It's something to cast scorn over, to Spy.
Spy: "You disgust me, filthy jar man!"
Alone vs Together
Sniper loves his job as a sniper for RED (and BLU). His job makes him stronger when he's at a distance from his team. Therefore, while he's not totally isolated from people, he doesn't mind being alone. He works well like that when he's working.
Sniper: "I love this job. Sunshine's free, bullets are cheap, and everybody's got a head."
Spy's Rally, an alternate Meet the Spy audio recording (as I wrote before), illustrates how Spy values teamwork and believes that it goes against the natural order of life.
Spy: "Disorder, the natural state of nature, is cheap to create, costly to overcome. [...] Nature abhors a team, gentlemen. And together, we bold few, we unnatural brothers, are going to seize Mother Nature by the throat."
Sniper finds strength in being alone. Spy finds strength in being together.
Out of vs In the Spotlight
When there was a irl figurine of Sniper being sold, Valve's blog released a post written by Sniper ("Well, Now I'm a Statue", 11 December 2012). He explains that he hates that his happened, as it goes against his wantiness to stay out of the spotlight.
Sniper: "It probably wouldn't surprise you to learn that a professional assassin like myself tends to be… discrete about things. We keep to the shadows. We avoid the spotlight. We don't host bloody dinner parties, is my point, and we don't make big bloody statues in effigy to our bloody selves."
Despite being an operative who has the ability to literally turn invisible, Spy has a flair for theatrics. He likes spectacle. In Expiration Date, when Scout apologises to Spy, Spy wants him to repeat "You're better than me," line over the PA system so that all the other mercs hear it.
Inexperienced vs Experienced in Romance
Sniper is never shown to have experienced romance and it's possible he never did. Sniper, despite his character being inspired by Crocodile Dundee, an adventure romance comedy, doesn't have a love interest. Sniper's "kangaroo wife" line is a made-up insult by Soldier.
Soldier: "I will send my condolences to your kangaroo wife."
In Meet the Sniper, we see him call his parents when he gets access to a payphone. His parents whom he sends postcards to (we see this postcard in the Sniper vs. Spy update). And it's his parents that the Administrator threatens the safety of to keep Sniper in line. It's his parents that are Sniper's priority of keeping protected. Not a girlfriend.
As essayist Kayla explains in a video meta about the mercs' past relationships, Sniper grew up in Australia, where (in the TF2 universe) the country's culture and people value large muscles due to Australium metal exposure giving Australians super-strength, as explained in the Catch-Up comic:
Tumblr media
Security locks are punch-based (as Saxton Hale demonstrates to Miss Pauling in The Contract comic). Kids are expected to get into fist fights with each other. Meaning that Sniper is "not attractive by conventional Australian standards" in the TF2 universe (again, observation by Kayla in the video meta).
Spy on the other hand, is characterised by his past relationship with Scout's mother and it's one of the few things we know about Spy's past. Spy has an in-game line about liking his romances "in groups of six." When Scout needs advice on asking Miss Pauling out on a date, he goes to Spy for help (keep in mind, Scout doesn't know Spy is his father at this point). He has a reputation among his team that he is experienced in romantic relationships.
Spy: "I like my teams like I like my romances: in groups of six."
Where Sniper and Spy are Similar
Being Discreet and Valuing Secrets
In the TF2 comic The Naked and the Dead, we find out that Sniper knows that Scout is Spy's son. By this point, Scout doesn't know (or is heavily in denial about it). We know Sniper knows because when Sniper and Spy come across Scout dying in a hallway, Sniper leaves Spy to have a private moment with Scout, when Spy tells Scout that he's his father (or rather, Tom Jones is his father, because Spy can't bring himself to tell the whole truth).
Tumblr media
Sniper is discreet in leaving them alone, because he never explicitly says that he knows (or what he knows) in that scene. It's mainly left unspoken. He only says one word, and Spy knows what's he's going to say. And Sniper chooses to leave because he knows that this secret is important to Spy and Scout.
Spy ability to be discreet and valuing secrets inherently comes with his job. His disguises only work as much as his ability to act like the person he's pretending to be. Spy also values the secret of his identity so much that we don't ever see him without his mask. The SFM model of Spy mask less (where we see he has hair) is a fan-made model that the fandom has collectively accepted. It has not been shown in any official Valve works. In Meet the Spy, he's always wearing his mask in the various Top Secret photos. There's also a Miss Pauling contract line for Spy in-game where she tells him that he should wash his mask. He canonically doesn't take it off.
Miss Pauling: "Spy, just between you and me, you should really wash that ski mask. Like once. There's visible stink lines coming off that thing. Anyway, I need a favor."
Kinda ironic, since Spy values cleanliness.
Are Both Willing to Put Themselves in Danger to Save One Another
Despite their differences, when they're on the same team (or even when they're still on opposite teams but have come together against a greater enemy, like in Mann vs Machine), Sniper and Spy can work together to save each other.
In the comics (The Naked and the Dead), Spy gets shot in the leg and is about to be killed by Classic Sniper (from the first Team Fortress game) while trying to infiltrate a building to save his team, but is saved by Sniper.
Tumblr media
To do this, Sniper had to run up several flights of stairs, break down a door, crash through a window, scale the side of a building, and then climb silently into the room Spy was in. While naked and bleeding. Sniper was willing to put himself at great personal risk to save Spy.
Tumblr media
They Both Experienced Loneliness Just Before Joining RED/BLU
I imagine that, one day, Sniper and Spy will figure out that they are not so different. If they knew about each other's pasts, they would notice a certain similarity.
Sniper's backstory (his description on TF2's website) is that he was a "tracker of dangerous game" in Australia. He would have spent a long time on his own, in the wilderness, isolated from people. He lived on a farm with his parents, not in the cities. In the comics (Blood in the Water), Sniper explains that he grew up with kids who wanted to fist fight, while he would climb up trees out of their reach and throw stones at them. He didn't fit in.
Tumblr media
He calls his parents in Meet the Sniper, but they don't like the line of work he's in. Which upsets him, because he wants their approval.
Spy's backstory is that he had a love, Scout's mother, and ran away from her. We don't know the details of why. But we do know that he and her are still on good terms. Spy and her are seen together in Valve's promo animation for the Second Annual Saxxy Awards:
Tumblr media
Spy appears to still love her, as at the end of Meet the Spy, he takes one of the photos of them together. Notably, the most chaste photo of the pile--it's of the two of them holding hands, walking away together.
Tumblr media
I think that's insight on what he would have wanted in another timeline. But he ran away on his own, leaving a woman he loved (and still loves) as well as his baby son. He left his family.
This is what their lives were like before the Gravel War.
It's also worth noting that they both joined RED/BLU. They all chose a line of work that many would not, and this gives us insight into their character. Whether it was for the money, or for the chance to fight, or to combat loneliness, both Sniper and Spy found themselves working for RED/BLU.
In Conclusion
Sniper and Spy are opposites in many ways, but when you get right down to it, their cores are the same.

Let me tell y’all something.. Zac Oyama maybe play characters with low intelligence scores, but he is SO good at pulling threads together and remembering information about the lore and making connections and figuring things out
Gorgug especially has been really great at making connections and asking the right questions. (That’s why the boy increased his intelligence score in sophomore year)
I’m wondering what the implication of the energy attacking Cassandra being the same thing as what Lydia is keeping in her chest? Do we actually know what it was Lydia was fighting with her adventuring party? Will we find out more? Does Lydia use her own rage to keep it subdued or is the energy created by rage (eg Cassandra’s anger at Kristen)?

“Sweetheart”| Eddie Munson x reader
A/n: finally hopping onto the Eddie Munson love train! This was just a little something to get back to writing. It's not proofread and certainly not my best work. I hope you like it anyway x
Hit me up if you want to be tagged in my next Eddie Munson fics.
Warnings: angst to full, mentions of cheating, Eddie being a soft boi.
Tumblr media
You weren’t supposed to see each other today. That’s why you were tiptoeing into your boyfriend’s trailer. He didn’t know you were here and you were set on the surprise going smoothly so you were channeling your inner sniper as you made your way towards Eddie’s room.
Every molecule in your body was focused on putting a minimal amount of weight on your feet- this particular board creaked a lot- when you heard it.
“Hi, sweetheart.” It was obviously Eddie’s voice. You could recognise it from a mile away, plus the way the bed moaned was the indisputable tell. No matter how many times had you warned him that he was going to find himself with his ass on the floor if he kept going on, at the end of every day Eddie still threw himself on his bed as if he was still 5.
“You’re so beautiful. I missed you today.”
What. in. the. actual. fuck?!
You just froze. Mid-step, as if you were in a comedy of some sort. On the contrary, it felt like you were currently starring in a drama.
Was this how he spent his free time? Damn him and his dungeon master’s skill. He fooled you big time.
Eddie kept talking to whoever the hell he was talking to unbeknownst of your presence literally a foot away.
Slowly getting your wits back, you forgot about beings stealthy. Your foot heavily hit the floor, giving your presence away. Uncaring of it anymore, you simply decided to go all in.
You pushed the door with such violence, its boom echoed all over the trailer scaring the poor Eddie to death.
The very unmanly scream that left him went completely over you head as you stared down at him.
If looks could kill…
“Who the hell are you talking to, eh,” you hissed as you walked into the room.
“Is this what you do when you’re not with me? Are you that much of an asshole to keep a side piece? Another woman!” Wait…
“Am I the other woman Edward?” Hit by this epiphany, your voice slightly rose.
“What!? What are you- NO. No, no, of course not.” Scrambling for his position on his bed, his hands up falling on the ground in a mess of limbs and sheets.
Hair a mess, Eddie sprints up and frantically gestures at you. “What are you talking about!?”
“Hi, sweetheart. You’re so beautiful.” You parroted in your best (not really) Eddie's voice.
The color drains from Eddie’s face. And there you have it. The answer you were waiting for.
“Well, you see I-“ he starts to explain but your raising your hand stops him.
“I see a cheating asshole, that’s what I see.” You scoff, still unbelievably upset by this discovery. Shaking your head in disappointment, you began to turn around to get out of his room, already done with this conversation.
“Wait, y/n! It’s not want you think!” Eddie’s hand grabs your arm, desperately holding onto you.
Before you could even open your mouth and fire a comeback, words tumbled out of his mouth almost as if he couldn’t control them.
“It’s my guitar,” he exclaims quickly.
“My sweetheart,” he clarifies upon seeing your confused gaze, “is my guitar.”
Taking his words in, your eyes flicker between his red cheeks and his bed where wouldn’t you know it, there’s his guitar.
His grip loosened when he realized that you weren’t going to run away. He let them drop to his sides without moving away from you. When the silence stretched, his hands went up to mess with his hair. A nervous tick.
“You… you were talking to your guitar?” The incredulity and confusion were clear in your voice. But, much to Eddie’s relief, there wasn’t any skepticism in your voice. You knew him very well so, besides the initial shock, it wasn’t that hard to believe him. It was totally something Eddie would do.
Embarrassed, he watched as your expression morphed from one of hurt into one of bewilderment to finally one of amusement.
Your lips trembled as you tried to contain your laugh. It’s that for a handful of minutes your heart was in your throat because of him but even so, you didn’t want him to embarrass him.
Focusing back at him, you notice how he kept looking at his feet and fidgeting with his chain. Closing the distance between you, you gently hold his face in your hands forcing his eyes to meet yours.
“Were you really talking to your guitar?”
“Yeah,” he admits, “sometimes I get lonely without you, you know, so…”
“Aw,” you coo at him slightly pushing on his cheeks making his lips pucker out, “you’re the most adorable sweet thing ever.”
The red on his cheeks deepened and a frown was slowly forming on his lips making them stand out even more.
You stamp a kiss on them, you just couldn’t resist them. “You know you can always call me or come see me, right?”
“You were busy today,” he complains softly.
“Never too busy for you, babyboy.”
You kiss him again before taking his hand and leading him back to his bed.
“Now c’mon, tell me all about your day.”

Sniper SWF Alphabet
My baby boy!!!!! I think I might do Pyro or Demo next
A: Affection (How do they show affection? And how affectionate are they?)
Sniper is one of the most touched-starved of all nine mercs. It comes from him being an introverted-esque person and also his job. But when it comes to having an s/o, he is a very affectionate person. He loves giving and receiving affection
B: Best Friend (What would they be like a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
He'd be a good best friend to have if you can break through his barriers. He doesn't let people in easily, he's very defensive about letting people in. So you would have to start slow with breaking the barriers. Sitting together and making small talk. Once the barrier is broken, he's another loyal friend. He's also a gossiper, ready to talk about and hear the latest merc drama. He's also a little shit-head and occasionally will cause trouble by letting a bee or spider lose in the building. He thinks seeing Scout freak out over a little bee is top tier comedy
C: Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Loves cuddles. You two will be constantly cuddling each other in private. He's the type of person to just lay on top of someone. He's like a coat or blanket and it's adorable. He doesn't discriminate on cuddles, if you want to be the big spoon, he'll gladly allow it. He'll cuddle you in front of people when he's drunk or completely exhausted. You're his comfort item
D: Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking & cleaning?)
Would definitely want to settle down. He'd make a great house husband. Is very particular with cooking and cleaning, he has a very specific routine for it and doesn't like breaking said routine. He is also very into trying new foods so you'll be trying a lot of interesting stuff. Please picture this man in a frilly pink apron for me, thank you :)
E: Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Very and horribly shy about it but will do it to get it done and over with so he doesn't have to dwell on it anymore. He's upfront with it and gives a reasonable explaination for it. Post breakup, he becomes very reclusive. It takes him a bit to get over the relationship but once he's over it, he'll start to revert back to his usual
F: Fiancé(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Wants to get married but is scared of it. He wants to make sure the person he's with is the one. It would take a while for him to propose, I give it four years of dating at least, but after he pops that question and you say yes, he's excited. I feel like he'd let you do most of the wedding planning while aggressively supporting you, but there would be some things he'd like, such as a small wedding. But this man will make your dream wedding come true
G: Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Is surprisingly a very gentle bean. Hims is such a sweetheart. Is very good at being a listening ear if you need to vent. He'll hold you and let ypu talk about everything and anything. He enjoys spending time with you
H: Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Another gangly man with gangly man hugs, but they do be warm and comforting. Hugs are affection and he's a very affectionate man so hugs are constant. He tends to do a lot of suprise hugs from behind. He'll lay his chin on top of your head as well. He's also they type to put his elbow on your shoulder and bully you for being short
I: I Love You (How fast do they say the L-Word?)
Takes a while for him to say it. He'd probably end up saying it on your one year anniversary which makes it such an emotional moment for the both of ya. He writes lots of little notes for you and puts them everywhere and all of them contain a little I love you in it, sometimes it's just an I love you note but it's still very adorable
J: Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Is only jealous when drunk or high (you know damn well this man is the team's weed dealer). He's very confident of himself when sober, but when he's under the influence of something he's the possessive, worried you'll leave him for someone else type of person. He'll be all over you and accusing the person of trying to take you away from him, tears may or may not be included
K: Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Little smooches with every hi and bye. Going to the bathroom? Here's a smooch before you go. Oh, you're back? Here's a smooch for returning. He usually just gives quick innocent kisses and saves the more saucy and romantic ones when alone and for those special moments. Will kiss you anywhere and everywhere but usually tends to stick with kisses on the lips since it's quick and easy
L: Little Ones (How are they around kids?)
Is unsure about kids. They're cute and he tries to be a good role model for them, but he also doesn't understand kids. He's on the fance about having kids in the future. It depends on you if you two are having them or not. He's also the type to get absolutley fucking murdered by a hoard of kids. They'd maul him alive (it's like a reverse FNAF where the kids kill the adults and stuffed them in a suit)
M: Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Grumpy old man. He's up early making coffee and being grumpy. He's very much not a morning person and it shows. He's very snippy with the other mercs so you'll have to be there to be the neutral party and pull him away from fighting someone
N: Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Is up late. He spends his nights cuddling you and watching a movie. With enough convincing, he'll turn his camper into a mini blanket fort. He struggles to sleep at night so it ends up contibuting to his morning grumpiness. He'll spend most of the night cuddling you until he falls asleep
O: Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait awhile to reveal things slowly?)
Another thing that would take a long time for him to do. He doesn't want you trying to use this info against him. But if you're with him, then you obviously must have some patience, the long wait is worth it though
P: Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Depends on his mood of the day. He's usually a very patient man but some days everything annoys him. He's very quick to apologize for his anger though. He doesn't like being mad at you, it's hurts his feelings
Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every detail in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
I'd say he's pretty good with memorizing info about you. He does tend to forget and mix up some small bits, but overall, he's good with memory
R: Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)
His favorite memory is when you two both took care of an injured owl. Owls are his favorite bird so when you came to him with a small box that had a baby owl in it, his heart melted. He's got quite the knowledge with taking care of animals so he knew what to do, asking you to retreive certain item so you both can help the owl. Taking care of the owl was like a test to see how well you both work together. He has pictures of the time hung up on his wall. You both ended up keeping the owl as a pet
S: Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Very protective. He tends to stick close to you to make sure you're safe. He'd be someone who would hold you close to him with one arm, point his kukri at the person and growl at them. He gives you big scary dog privleges
T: Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, and everyday tasks?)
He tries his best. He likes going all out for anniversaries, making sure you feel like royalty in that day. He also goes all out for your birthday, basically telling you that you're not lifting even a finger at all that day. He'll interrogate you for date ideas since he tends to not know what to do for date night. Plz help him
U: Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
The man pisses in jars. No sane person pisses in a jar and throws it at people. But aside from that, I'd say the only real bad habit/trait of his is his reclusiveness and his grumpiness. This man has an attitude on him and isn't scared to show it
V: Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Doesn't care much about his looks. I feel like he does the bare minimum to exist. But does take better care of himself when he starts dating you. It's a very noticable difference too which ends up with the mercs questioning and attempting to bully him. He doesn't give a shit about them though. He only cares about you and his parents
W: Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
It all depends on how long you two have been together. If it's been casual, then he's fine. But long term? Homie ends up developing separation anxiety. He doesn't like being away from you for too long. He'll usually take something of yours to kinda help him. It barely helps. He needs you.
X: Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
I feel like he'd be the type of person to be constantly high. He's obviously the weed dealer of the team, he knows what the good kush is. He's also a very feral man. Just look at him. He never got that rabies shot and it shows
Y: Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
He's very picky about his partner. He doesn't like when his partner who's persistent and aggressive. He tends to let his partner take the lead but if they wanna do something he does't want to do, he will throw a fight about it if they persist
Z: Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
Struggles to sleep at night. He tends to be on edge a lot so it messes with his sleep schedule. So he usually just spends the night cuddling and watching you sleep until he himself can pass the fuck out

Dream table for d20? Plus setting and GM?
okay so here's the thing. i know very very few of the incredible players who haven't been in the dome, so this is a very uninformed opinion. that said.
GM: Aabria. If you don't know why, you must be new, welcome. scroll through the Aabria tag on my blog. You'll get it.
Setting: Something with high lethality and mid-high level. I don't care about specifics, I just want Aabria to go full gloves off and come for these bitches' throats.
Players: (Oops! All GMs)
Brennan. and_you'll_hear_it_again.gif there's a good fucking reason they're an iconic ttrpg duo and I want Aabria to successfully kill Brennan.
Murph. Aabria's talked about how much she wants to run a game with him, and yeah it'd be so much fun for a million reasons.
Emily. Ideally as a spell caster. Rules lawyer and shenanigan loving GM vs the mind behind Operation Slippery Puppet and Buzzybrooke.
Jasmine Bhullar. I've not seen her as a player (if any of y'all know where I can fix that PLEASE let me know), but I love her work as a GM and want more with her.
Persephone Valentine. She's such an incredible player, and I want her back in the dome SO much.
Zac. If he's not GMed he's the diversity hire. Their dynamic/energy in Ravening War was *chef's kiss* and the way Aabria would set him up as a comedy sniper would kill me.
(alternatively, me, my cousin, and 4 of my mutuals. dungeons and drag queens established precedent for new players. but a kinder setting for us lol)

"Bombs Away!"
The SECOND Bad Batch Comedy One Shot in the ONE SHIT SERIES
Tumblr media
Background: Total sibling drama...ramped up to 1,000! Thankfully this was BEFORE Echo joined, because he would NOT have stayed with these idiots!!! Luckily Omega was spared as well. Set after my one shit "Silent But Deadly" and before "Who Dealt It?". I purposely did not assign a gender to the Twi'lek neighbor for reader reasons. Are YOU, dear reader, the lucky Twi'lek to meet The Batch?
To read #1 in the series:
https://www.tumblr.com/skellymom/739302379984388096/silent-but-deadly?source=share
Word count: 2.4K
Warning: Total Bathroom Humor. Farts, stinky humor, suggestion of poop, swearing, middle finger, some nudity, someone does Lula dirty.
The Marauder was peacefully quiet as Hunter emerged from the refresher.  Tech had dimmed down the lights before chaperoning Wrecker and Crosshair out for an evening on the town. 
This past week had been a daunting one for Hunter’s senses and he needed a respite from EVERYTHING. 
Hunter tossed his towel away, standing buck naked, and stretched.  He’d sleep without the restrictiveness of clothing tonight.  The thought made him smile and exhale with a rumble of pleasure. 
Leaning over the bunk, he pulled back the crisp immaculately made sheets.  Hunter inhaled expecting the scent of a clean bed... 
...and nearly fainted! 
A horrible miasma of stench assaulted his nose, almost suffocating him! 
Hunter jumped back and yanked the refresher door open, flipping on the fan.  Then sprinted out of the bunk area, slamming the door shut to block the stink in. 
What was supposed to be a comforting night turned out to be nothing close.  He was angry about the practical joke.  Crosshair knew better!  Hunter KNEW it was Crosshair...it has his scent all over it! 
While pondering WHY Cross would do such a thing, Hunter strolled over to the pilot's chair and sat down.  His rear end contacted the Marauder’s cold rough upholstery. 
“DANK FERRICK!”  Hunter forgot he was naked as a Noghri and shot back up from the seat.  Standing right in front of the windscreen.  His loud exclamation caught the attention of the Twi’lek who was inspecting their ship.  The ship parked 20 feet away from the Marauder. 
The Twi’lek stared at Hunter with a shocked expression.  Hunter immediately covered his “goods” with both hands and grinned with embarrassment.  The Twi’lek smiled back, signed a thumbs up, winked, and boarded their ship. 
“Did I just make a friend???”  Hunter was stymied.  This was ANYTHING BUT a relaxing night. 
********************** 
Hunter confronted Crosshair the next morning. 
“WHY would you DO something like that!?” 
“NO IDEA what you’re going on about Hunter,” Cross sneered.  “Heard you have an admirer.” 
“Don’t change the subject.  I could...smell it was YOU!” 
Crosshair just smiled at Hunter’s distress, then walked away. 
“We aren’t done here!”  Why was Crosshair being so difficult and evasive? 
“No... WE certainly aren’t.”  Cross flashed his gaze at Wrecker and Tech then exited the Marauder. 
Hunter threw up his hands in frustration and walked away. 
****************************** 
“WHY would you DO THAT TO LULA?!” Wrecker lamented. 
“I think you know why.”  Cross didn’t even bother to look up from polishing his Firepuncher. 
Wrecker just stood in shock, then growled “It’s personal now!” 
He reeled back and smacked Cross upside the head with Lula, knocking the toothpick from his mouth. 
Crosshair threw down his equipment and jumped up, both hands balled into fists. 
Wrecker grabbed Cross from the front of his armor, lifting the skinny sniper over his head and began to shake his brother senselessly. 
“KNOCK IT OFF!!!”   
Both brothers stopped and gazed at Hunter who was now standing in the doorway.  Tech had heard the row and pulled Hunter from his conversation with the Twi’lek neighbor to break it up. 
“Wrecker!  Put Crosshair down!!!” 
“AWWW!  Can’t you smell what he DID to Lula???” 
“Yes...cough...I certainly can.” 
“Down.  NOW.” 
“Grrrr...”  Wrecker opened his hand and Cross dropped on his ass upon the metal decking.   
“He had it COMING!”  Crosshair shot back. 
“Just what do you mean?”  Hunter inquired. 
Cross opened his mouth to expound, then noticed Tech standing behind Hunter.  “Are...you RECORDING all of THIS?” 
Hunter turned to look at Tech “REALLY???” 
Cross was now pissed at a second brother today.  “You aren’t going to upload that to your asinine MUMBLER Holoaccount are YOU???” 
“It’s STUMBLR” Tech proudly proclaimed adjusting his goggles.  “And I may be persuaded to as my ‘asinine followers’ will enjoy watching you get your comeuppance!” 
“NERD!” 
“Thank you.  This won’t be the first time I uploaded your detestable behavior on my Holonet Platform.  You currently have 1,892 ‘Frenemies’ on STUMBLR, Crosshair.” 
Crosshair flipped off Tech. 
Wrecker spoke up “Aye Tech, are you still recording?” 
“Yes.  ALL the time.” 
“GOOD!”  Wrecker resumed repeatedly whacking Crosshair across the head with Lula. 
“I CAN’T with you guys...” Hunter sighed and walked off the ship to find the Twi’lek. 
*********************** 
Things had died down after a few days.  Mostly because everyone kept to themselves and didn’t try to antagonize each other.  The sun set and each clone went off to their bunk... 
...except for Tech who stayed up to maintenance the Marauder.  He sipped his caf then grabbed the power driver to unscrew an inner panel on the ship.  As he freed the first bolt, it dropped to the decking and almost narrowly escaped through the small gaps in the floor.  Tech caught the bolt with his shoe just in time.   
Picking up the bolt he mused, I need to sequester you and your little friends in something secure. 
He riffled through his toolbox, looking for something... 
I know it’s here...put it back myself...  Tech didn’t remember moving ir... Ah, there you are. His hands closed around a small glass jar he had saved for a ‘just in case’ project.  He smiled widely as this was the perfect use for the receptacle he had squirreled away for so long. 
Tech unscrewed the top of the jar and dropped the bolt in... 
...as a horrible odor punched him SQUARE in the NOSE! 
Tech gagged and dropped the jar.  It hit the decking and exploded loudly into a thousand little shards.  The bolt shot out and made its way to a hole in the decking.  Tech leapt forward attempting to catch the bolt before he lost it to the underside of the Marauder.  He slipped on a large piece of glass and went down on both hands... 
...on top of more glass... 
...to watch the bolt, disappear through the decking... 
...Tech could hear it descend though the guts of the ship...TINK...TINK...TINK... 
Then it was gone. 
The ruckus woke Hunter.  “Tech...you ok?” In his sleepy groggy voice. 
Tech pulled his hands up from the floor.  Luckily there were no injuries, but the glass shredded both gloves...HIS GOOD PAIR.  Tech struggled to keep his voice free of irritated sass.  “Yes.” 
“Eh...you sure?” 
“Quite.  Get some sleep Hunter.” 
Tech heard Hunter mumble sleepily and turn over in his bunk.  Wrecker never stopped loudly snoring.  Crosshair however...Tech listened intently...Cross was TOO quiet.   
Techs brows furrowed angrily and thought to himself YOU BASTARD!  Well...one good turn deserves another!!!  He stood, removed the glass embedded gloves, and vowed REVENGE on Crosshair’s head. 
********************* 
The morning sun peeped up over the horizon as Hunter rolled out of his bunk, more refreshed than he had been in quite a while.  He stretched, scratched his bum, and wandered out in his pj’s to grab some caf. 
Tech had made a fresh pot, and apparently been up all night.  Didn’t strike Hunter as out of the ordinary.  Tech usually pulled all-nighters to work on his projects. 
“Morning.” Hunter reached for the carafe. 
Tech blocked him with a freshly poured mug of caf.  “Take this, Hunter.” 
“Eh...ok...thanks.”  Hunter sniffed the mug then cocked his head and caught the scent of the coffee in the carafe.  There was a very slight difference in odor notes, which didn’t slip past Hunter at all. 
Tech caught Hunter’s body language.  “This is the caf you prefer.  That...” Tech nodded his head towards the carafe “...is Crosshairs.” 
“Yeeah, ok.”  Hunter shook his head, slid into a seat, and decided to just let it go.  He sipped his caf, eyes closed to revel in the warm richness of his brew. 
Five minutes later Crosshair emerged from the refresher.  Showered and shaved, wearing only a crisp white towel around his waist.  He arrogantly strolled through the ship and made his way to the caf.  “Good morning.” 
Hunter opened his eyes and noticed Tech intently watching Crosshair. 
Cross grabbed a large mug and filled it to the brim.  He took a hefty gulp and sighed.  “Oh look...Hunter, your friend is out and about.”   
Crosshair straightened up, puffed out his chest and waved seductively at the Twi’lek neighbor.  “Rather attractive...” 
“Are you FLIRTING???”  Hunter growled. 
“Jealous?”  Crosshair shot back eyeing Hunter while sipping from the mug. 
Tech rolled his eyes.  But kept intently watching Crosshair. 
“I might have to go over and introduce myself...right after I finish my caf.” 
“I don’t give a WOMP RATS ASS what YOU do!” 
“Did I ruffle your feathers, Hunter?  Just trying to be friendly.”  Cross drained his mug and set it on the counter.  “Since our Sergeant likes to keep the dress code...casual, guess I will too.”  He made a beeline for the Marauders outdoor hatch...still wearing NOTHING but the towel. 
Hunter shot up out of his seat “DON’T you DARE go out there!” 
Crosshair stopped in his tracks, not because Hunter forbade him from leaving the Marauder... 
...but because Cross looked suddenly uncomfortable.  Then his stomach loudly gurgled.  Crosshair turned around now rethinking his earlier plan. 
“What did YOU DO?” Crosshair demanded an answer from Tech. 
Tech glared back with a diabolical grin.  “Punishing your flatulent activity.” 
“WHAT???”  Both Cross and Hunter exclaimed. 
“For the ‘Fart Jar’ Fiasco last night.” 
“What jar?”  Crosshair held his belly and started to sweat. 
“The one in my toolkit you left a...” surprise” in.  Honestly Crosshair, you’re acting obtuse.” 
“Seriously?  Why can’t you all stop touching each other's stuff???”  Hunter felt like the ONLY adult on the ship. 
Louder gurgling from Crosshair’s belly while he shook his sweaty head.  An abdominal cramp had him doubling over.  “Not m...” 
“THAT WAS ME!”  Everyone turned to see Wrecker standing in the doorway, wearing his Republic Underoos, clutching Lula. 
“WHAT?”  exclaimed Hunter, Tech, and a very painful Crosshair. 
“I uh...wanted to get Crosshair back for crop dusting Lula...” He looked VERY guilty. 
“Lula had it coming because I was blamed for you stinking up Hunter’s bed!” 
“Wait...WHAT?” Hunter was seriously confused. “It SMELLED like Crosshair!” 
“Yeah...” Wrecker scratched the back of his neck. “...because I KNOW how to build a stinkbomb.” 
Hunter’s face dropped “WHY would you DO THAT to ME???” 
Tech chimed in befuddled. “Yes, PLEASE explain WHY you would retaliate against Hunter and I when WE did NOTHING to you???” 
“Because...’Wrecker paused and exhaled, then looked at all three of his brothers with fierce conviction. “I wanted to get one over on Cross for LETTING me get blamed by the 212th during our mission on Anaxis! AND because the two of YOU didn’t think I was SMART ENOUGH to pull off something like this!!!” 
Hunter and Tech stared like deer in the headlights then glanced at each other. 
“TELL ME you all DON’T assume I’m ALWAYS the DUMB one???” Wrecker crossed his arms over his chest. 
“OH KRIFF!” Crosshair grabbed his bum with both hands and shuffled off to the refresher. He was ignored by his brothers to deal with his fate. 
Hunter spoke first with humility. “NEVER thought you were dumb. Probably do underestimate you at times though. Wrecker, I promise to NEVER do this from now on.” 
Wrecker turned to Tech now putting his hands on his hips. “WELL???” 
“I’m IMPRESSED.”  
Wrecker was mildly shocked. 
“Your planning, ingenuity, divide and conquer strategy to create infighting and steer the blame away from yourself...I would ONLY consider such a diabolical scheme from Crosshair.” Tech pushed his glasses up his nose. 
“Speaking of which...HOPE he made it to the refresher.” Hunter glanced behind him. 
Tech sighed with remorse. “I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions and spiked his caf.” 
“Wrecker NO!”  
Wrecker was drinking straight from the carafe (which he usually did due to not having a mug big enough for the clone). Hunter yanked it from Wrecker grasp. 
“SPIT!” Wrecker spit the heaping mouthful right back into the carafe.  
“Wrecker, you didn’t swallow any cafe, did you?” Tech was EXTREMELY concerned. 
“Nope.”  
“THANK STARS! Here.” Tech pulled out a Saleucami Delight Juice Box and handed it to Wrecker. 
“Do I REALLY want to know what’s in THAT caf???” Hunter swirled the liquid inside the carafe with concern. 
“Negative” Tech took the carafe from Hunter and promptly poured it down the Marauder’s galley sink. 
********************* 
There were horrible noises emanating from the refresher. The smell was no better. Hunter refused to step any closer than the outside door to the bunk room. Held his nose the whole time. Tech sent Wrecker, whose sense of smell was next to nothing to check on Crosshair. 
Wrecker gently knocked on the refresher door with his huge fist. “How ya holdin’ up, Cross?” 
Nothing. 
Then...a small weak strangled voice could be heard from behind the refresher door. “Wrecker...” 
“...Yeah?” 
“...I’m sorry...” More silence. “...never again...ok?” 
“Ok Brother. I’ll...just leave ya to...finish.” 
“Mmhm...” More sounds and whimpering. 
“Oof.” Wrecker shook his head and walked off to join Hunter and Tech with palpable concern. “Is he gonna be ok?”  
“Other than being moderately dehydrated and extremely chapped...most likely. However, he WILL be spending a full day in the refresher.” 
Hunter shook his head, rolling his eyes. “Looks like I’m not getting a shower today.” 
There was a knock at the Marauder gangplank. 
Hunter strolled over and opened the hatch. Their Twi’lek neighbor appeared dressed in Meiloorun pajama bottoms and a tee with the words “I got high in Cloud City” emblazoned on it. 
“Hi! Saw everyone was up. Wanted to invite you all over for breakfast at my place.” Pointing to their ship. “Figured since you like to go ‘casual’ I’d catch you early.” Sly grin and a wink. 
Hunter grinned and chuckled. “That’s lovely...uh...unfortunately we’re experiencing an issue with our refresher...” 
“You and your brothers can use mine!” The Twi’lek smiled warmly. “Uh...unless...It’s not TOO forward a thing to offer?” Nervously twisting their lekku. 
“Not at all. LADS! We’ve been invited to breakfast AND to use our neighbor's refresher!” Then followed the delighted Twi’lek to their ship. 
“WHOOO-HOOO!” Wrecker was off the ship in a flash, still in his Underoos clutching Lula. 
Tech paused and looked back towards the refresher. Should he bother Crosshair now with this new development? He was sure Crosshair would figure it out. Tech shrugged, besides he wasn’t going ANYWHERE anytime soon. Descending the Marauder’s gangplank Tech decided he would check on Cross later.  
****************** 
Back in the refresher, Crosshair heard EVERYTHING. He was damned if they were going to leave and have breakfast without him. Besides...his stomach was starting to feel a tiny bit better... 
...then he was hit with ANOTHER deep abdominal cramp! 
Crosshair pulled the last few squares off the roll beside him. DANK FERRICK! WAS IT SO KRIFFING HARD TO REPLACE THE ROLL??? Gritting his teeth, it was going to be a full toothpick pack kind of day. Cross felt around beside him and found the spare refresher paper package... 
...to find it TOTALLY EMPTY! Crosshair was beyond pissed...so pissed he could have launched himself off the refresher seat into hyperspace!!! 
WREEEEECKERRRRR!!!
