Tough t' do much as a bird. Though its halloween now. Happy halloween y'all.

Gotta get back to making sure theres no more zombie animals now. Forgot our doc can bring back dead animals if given enough time. 'N to think I had a hand with it the first time.

Speakin' of Rafel. Hes nowhere around the base from what I've seen. Odd. Dunno where hes ran off to.

- Reese

Apparently last post was 10th.

Small number, but a good achievement.

...

I wonder if I should try make seperate blog. Could post own stuff there. Keep answering questions here though. Easier.

...I hear screaming. Again.

- Stas

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Reese told me to make this.

Its October, which means doktor will be causing chaos around base.

Reese is bird currently. Is odd. Suppose its an experiment gone wrong.

Should be fine though. Still need to figure out how to put images on this.

Owl Anon here.. again! I guess thats how i will be known from now on-

So.. Firebug! Favorite and least favorite bugs and why?

[[Favourite bugs...beetles! Theres so many different kinds of beetles, and some are really pretty! Such as the Rose Chafer and Tiger Beetles and Fireflies! Another favourite bug of mine is ants! They're good pets! I keep an ant farm! Terry hates it though. And I have to make sure none of the spiders get into where I keep the ants]]

[[Least favourite bug is flies. They're interesting, but really annoying. They're why I even have spiders in my room!]]

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Hii! Im the anon that asked for owl facts (Thanks Rafel!) Im honored to have been the first ask :]

Now, Ask for everyone:

Favorite color and food?

[[Orange! For both questions!]] - Firebug

Favourite color, hm? Well thats gotta be ah...call me a bit bland but brown. Its a nice, simple colour. 'N my favourite food is beef jerky. Its a good snack during long battles, and considering I usually stick near my machines its nice to have somethin' to keep me going. - Reese

You're velcome! Now zhen...favourite color...I vould have to say blue, its vhat mein liebe vears! Oh it just suits him so vell, such a calm und nonthreatening color on zhe best man I could ever ask to end up vizh! Und yet he manages to best me in zhe battlefield vhenever ve do have to fight, but zhat might be due to me getting distracted by him. I cant help zhe distraction! Hes just...alvays on mein mind. Gott I should bring Francis to zhe base again, I've already begun to miss him. Anyvays enough about mein husband. I got distracted zhere. Cant help but zhink about him anyvays. Aheh...uh...vhat vas...ah, yes! Favourite food...mm...pretzels, admittedly. Zhey're salty yet somevhat sweet. Zhey're not as sweet as Francis, of course, but zhat doesnt change anyzhing! - Rafel

Aye. Silver. And alcohol. I dont eat. - Demobot

...Favourite color is baby blue. Its a nice color. Reminds me of snow. Favourite food is Shchi. Reminds me of home. - Stas

Easy answers, these. Red, and kangaroo meat. Surprisingly good stuff. All the others here are too chicken to try it though...except for Firebug and Reese. Bloody scare me sometimes those two. - Archie

Well like da Sniper said, red! Its a frickin badass color and way superior to blue! Favourite food is turkey! Way more flavourful than chicken! Seriously if you wanna attract a girl, go for turkey instead a' chicken! - John

GREEN, LIKE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. AND MONEY. AND MY FAVOURITE FOOD IS FISH. ANY KIND. DOES NOT MATTER. - Terry (who has been told he does not need to shout for these to function)

Hm. Stupid question. But I would have to answer with wine red. And my favourite food would have to be salmon en papillote. - René

-------------

Hey! Mod again, sorry about taking so long. Took awhile to think of how to answer this honestly. Especially since as of now my wifi isnt so good. Also Firebug's answers will have [[]] around them as a sort of translation of their muffled nonsense because otherwise there'd be no point in having them answer anything - Epimedes

[lock3d-n-load3d]

"...You're welcome." --Did Stas expect such a reaction? No. No he didnt. But its a welcome reaction to one of his creations nontheless--

(Internally screaming at myself because auuughhh never done this on tumblr - Epimedes)

..Hello again BLU doktor.

I made this for you.

--Its a small bear plushie wearing clothing similar to any generic Heavy, although the shirt is pink instead of either red or blue. Its eyes are simple navy blue buttons, and it has no visible mouth. Its holding a fittingly small yet generic minigun, made of felt--

Did not know what colour to do for the outfit. Pink seemed best. I hope you like it.

- Stas ( @lock3d-n-load3d )

(Sorry about the long description, I literally cant draw plushies to save my life so I made do LMAO also this idea generally lived rent free in my head so I had to - Epimedes)

-LOOKING AT THE PLUSHIE WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES. He not used to wholesome-ness- "ZHIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL- D-DANKESHÖN- WAAAAA" -gorgeously crying, hugging the plushie tight-

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Heya Reese! What is the most odd thing you've seen in the base so far? What was the icing on the cake for that particular moment?

Most odd thing? Well it used to be Rafel's zombie dove, but now? It has to be th' mercury-filled raccoon abomination that is...probably still somewhere in the base.

Atleast it was funny to watch John runnin' about with the thing latched on his tail....until he ended up breaking the new dispenser model I was testin' out. In hindsight I shoulda probably known that showcasing a prototype when one of the doc's more confusing freaks of nature are runnin' about. Lucky that it could be lured out, though.

..

Doesn't mean I dont tend to hear movement in the walls, though.

- Reese

[lock3d-n-load3d]

How does the rest of the team react to.. well.. This

Most of them are confused or just dont care, yet Stanislav is completely quiet. Its normal for him to be quiet, usually, but this silence of his, its near deafening...

--------

Mod here, this is why I made the askers are horny tag. This specifically. I couldnt even provide a good answer either because it honestly caught me off guard. Also I'm currently melting and my brain is barely awake. On another note, any narration will be in red text :]

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Hello! I'm curious, what are the pronouns of your mercs and sexualities?

In order of how they're listed on the menu opened by the disguise kit:

John - he/him, straight (maybe the tiniest smidge bi-curious, but this man will swear on his LIFE that he likes women)

Terry - he/him, bisexual (says hes straight, like he wouldnt kiss a Scottish cyclops smh /hj)

Firebug - they/it, aroace (personally a fan of the aroace Pyro hc, just cant see them kissing anyone really. Firebug feels no sexual or romantic attraction)

Demobot - he/it, demiromantic asexual

Stanislav - he/him, questioning (he sure if somewhere on the acronym, but where is a mystery even to him)

Reese - he/him, pansexual (not much to say, he prefers personality over gender)

Rafel - he/they, bisexual

Archie - he/him, straight (doesnt really understand anything like being trans, or LGBT in general, but considering that its ultimately pretty harmless he doesnt care)

René - any pronouns, bisexual (we just need gender apathetic Spy i think)

Took a bit to think about this, I wanted to take into account both the general time that tf2 takes place in and also how I like to design characters lol

[lock3d-n-load3d]

H-hey Rafel.. how are you doing. Just came here to say hello and stop by for now.

Also I found this cat... can we keep him pleasee? *holding a black cat*

Hooh? Hallo mein liebe!!! I'm doing great! Even better now zhat you're here!!!

Und of course ve can keep zhat katzen, vhy vould I tell you no anyvays? You know I'd let you do anyzhing! Anyzhing you vant! :}

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Hellooo!!! Nice to meet'cha! Rafel, i adore owls, can you give me some owl facts? Love from Finland!

Hallo, kamerad!

I zhink I have some owl facts somevhere, let me just find zhe files. I keep alot of bird facts on file, mein liebe loves zhem! Atleast I zhink he does!

Anyvays, anyvays, I dont vant to get off track, I found zhe files I need. Lucky zhey're in arms reach of me right now, ja?

Owls can turn zheir heads up to 270° due to how zhey cant move zheir eyes like ve can! Zhey manage zhis amazing feat of biology by having 14 cervical vertebrae! Zhe reason zhey cant move zheir eyes is because zhey are fixated into zheir skull, und zheir eyes actually take up most of zheir skull space! Quite ironic for birds related to visdom! Zhese giant eyes dont even help vizh sight much eizher, zheir eyesight is actually quite poor, vorse zhan mine vhen I dont have mein glasses even! Haha! Most owls rely on sound 100% of zhe time, und zhey bob zheir heads to calculate distance! Speaking of zheir eyes, zheir eyes are so huge zhat if you look into zhe auditory canals, you can see zhe back of zheir eyes!

If you own an owl, und vant to teach it anyzhing, zhey must be trained for three months lest zhey forget everyzhing! Such dumb little birds, oh vhat I'd do to own one myself if I verent such a busy man. Back on track zhough, smaller owls in zhe vild even forget vhere zheir nests are sometimes, so zhey have to keep relocating! It sometimes makes me vonder how zhese birds manage to still thrive in today's vorld!

One owl species, zhe great horned owl, is actually zhe natural predator of zhe skunk due to zheir fortunately horrible sense of smell! Speaking of great horned owls, zhey dont build zheir own nests! Zhey actually steal zhem from ozher large birds such as Red-tailed hawks! Great horned owls are actually considered one of zhe most aggressive owl species in zhe vorld asvell!

Owls tend to swallow zheir prey whole after killing zhem, provided its small enough! If not zhen zhey vill rip zheir prey apart! Its quite zhe gruesome display, und I love it!

-------

Mod here, congrats on beong the first ask answered on this blog! I'd add more owl facts but I'm strapped for time right now sorry

if you want more owl facts, theres a bunch of books on them! :]

[lock3d-n-load3d]

Alrighty, that should be this blog set up. Still workin' out a few kinks 'n all but now you lot can send us some asks. For context, heres an image of us that should be on the header though its glitching on our end.

From left to right, these are:

Firebug, our resident Pyro. They like going on treks across the badlands, and enjoy bugs. Apparently we're all bugs to 'em. I'm a carpenter bee in their eyes.

Reese, thats me. I'm the one typing all this. Do I really gotta explain myself?

René, our damned Spy whose held me at gunpoint too many times. Hes good at what he does though.

Stanislav or Stas, our Heavy. I havent spoke with 'im much. He aint much of a talker. Though I've heard of a certain someone here who might like him.

Archie, the Sniper. Not much to say about him.

John, the Scout. Hes like a rat sometimes, and has a superiority complex worse than our doc to boot, but hes a good kid.

Terry, our Soldier. Likes planes, surprisingly. He also likes gambling. We've banned 'im from poker night though because hes a sore loser.

Demobot, more of a mystery than Firebug. Though I usually keep him in fightin' form. Hes a robot afterall. Though I swear we were meant to be gettin' a human. Ah well, Demo is a good'n, even though he scares me sometimes.

Rafel, our Medic. Hes crazy, obsessed with some Francis guy, and is the one guy you should avoid talking casually about birds to unless you want an hour long mininum infodump about whatever bird you point out to him. Same goes for him talking about said Francis guy. Or do, it might mean he doesnt kidnap one of us so he can ramble as much as he wants again.

'N thats all of us! Hoping for some asks or the like soon

Hello! Hi! Mod Epi here! First ever RP blog of mine and its all my TF2 loadouts. Asks will be answered weekly, though any mod updates will go under the #Epi's Announcements tag and all of me talking will be in blue, because why not. Also me talking will go under #Epi's deranged rambles and any asks for me will go under #Epi talks to the voices

Other tags include:

#Firebug answers - questions that Firebug answers

#Reese answers - questions that Reese answers

#René answers - questions that René answers

#Stas answers - questions that Stas answers

#Archie answers - questions that Archie answers

#John answers - questions that John answers

#Terry answers - questions that Terry answers

#Demobot answers - questions that Demobot answers

#Rafel answers - questions that Rafel answers

#Team talks - one or more of the team talking

#Rafel's bird infodumping - Rafel talking extensively about birds

#Firebug's doodles - Firebug's drawings, usually of bugs

#Team answers - when the entire team answers an ask, usually only applies if 5 or more are asked at once because I want to keep my fingers intact

And there you go, thats all the tags. As of now this blog is fully text-only except for if theres any Firebug doodles, though I'm planning to try grab SFM at some point so I can make some scenes and the like, or I'll just use loadout.tf for it I dont know.

Something else to note is that SOME asks may be a bit on the more suggestive side, which means they will be under the #Askers are horny tag. Which also means yes I will answer suggestive asks if I feel comfortable with them. I will not be prioritising these asks over normal ones.
