"If you know how to actually ride it's not a suicide mission. Only idiots who aren't careful get hit by cars -- or people driving cars aren't observant if they see some jackass on a motorcycle right in front of them." He yanks his helmet back when she pats it. Don't lose your cool, Pierson -- the helmet may be worth more than her but she doesn't know better, don't do it she's not worth it... "Leather is quite protective, believe it or not. And warm. It's good for desert nights." He rolls his eyes. "A greaser is someone that dresses up in leather gear to "look cool"," look at them one handed air quotes, Marie. "And they slick their hair back with grease, that's where the name comes from and obviously I can't do that now, huh?" He'll also throw in some mimicry of the hair slicking back motion just for emphasis.

"Just because your height is stunted and you're a punk has no relevancy to my age. Mhm, now that we have that out of the way, what exactly do you do around here? Certainly nothing important, I'm going to guess?"

“It makes perfect sense! Just watch where you’re going. How am I supposed to know that there are people so close to my door when I go to open it? Usually people like to walk in the middle of the hallways, mind you.” His faint smile doesn’t go away even with her next quip, he just looks down at his own gear and shrugs. “You have to wear gear when you go riding unless you’re on a suicide mission, of course. I’m quite well aware of how the battles are — I don’t need some tiny punk telling me what I already know. Besides, it’s after battles so I’m free to do whatever, just as you.” Yep, that smile is still there.

“…Also, I’d prefer if you didn’t call me sir. Sir is for old people or bosses and I’m neither of those things yet. Just call me Pierson, alright?”

 He hadn’t been there for long, and after just settling in he thought it would be great to take his motorcycle for a spin to check out the area. Marie, this was a bad time to meet him with that odd leather get-up and clutching his helmet like it was some expensive dog in a purse under his arm. Aka it was worth more than you and you weren’t going to accidentally touch it and ruin it.

Pierson peers down at the young assistant, his expression cool and calm much like his outfit. “Perhaps you should watch how slowly you move so you don’t get a bloody nose when a door opens at a normal speed in front of your face.” He gives a faint smile before reaching out and giving her a pat on the head. “Aaaand maybe if you crouch down the door would swing overhead, yes? Try that next time.”

I'll stop as soon as your liver does.

... How homely of you, I suppose.

Ah, misfortuned to meet you then... "brother" Carlton. +He tried to smile, he really did. That was some half-assed creepy looking grin that happened instead.+ There will be no hard feelings as long as you don't take it personal when I blow you to chunks with a rocket launcher on the field. +Oh no wait there's his little shit smile, don't you worry.+

And the flashlight even talks! Wow, technology is progressing so much lately!

… Don’t call me brother. We hold no blood bonds. +He actually looks damned perplexed by that. C’mon now Carlton, don’t be like that.+

The name’s Pierson Mazer, the new BLU here.

Marie rushes down the hall, catching her breath and snickering lightly. It seems she’s successfully slipped out of danger, probably caused by her own mischief. 

Looking over her right shoulder, a smug grin plastered on her face, she doesn’t notice a door suddenly and swiftly swing open in front of her. BAM. A cut off swear word. The BLU ran right into it.

Rubbing her forehead, she peeks around the door to find the man who opened it. “Hey bub, watch how quickly you barge your door open—Geeze. There’re people walkin’ in these halls.”

Hehh, it is hard to come by a genuine gentleman in these kind of days. T'is quite unfortunate, I guess I'll have to pick up the slack for them. +He winks, unable to keep a straight face with that.+

... Well, uh-- If you don't mind, may I ask what a lady such as yourself is doing in the industries? You don't look the type, I gotta say. If it's none of my business, I understand.

He gives a soft 'ah' to the reply. He's trying his best to keep some sort of social face on, but he can't resist making a face and rolling his eyes at Antonio's next phrase. "It probably is too good to be true. then. Too many positives are like sweets; they rot you to the core and you try to still appear sweet on the outside but you're disgusting and some brownish-black colour on the inside or something, bud."

To be honest, he did feel a bit of hair-envy around Antonio already, but there wasn't much time for petty feelings on this field. He gives a shrug of the shoulders before shoving his hands in his pockets. "The name's Pierson. Aka, the most capable soldier you'd ever hope to have on your team."

Hmm, nice to see another teammate. However, I’m curious; wouldn’t those locks of your’s get caught all up in whatever the hell you do here? Or cause you some problems?

Attention Mercenaries: New BLU Soldier!

4. Who did they look up to the most as a child? Who do they look up to as an adult?

Lame enough as it sounds, when Pierson was younger he would always look up to guys in the  movies and when he was nine he really got into Billy the Kid and looked up to that character for the longest time (until he was like 11 or 12, anyway). As an adult he doesn't really look up to anyone or at least presently he doesn't.

6. What languages do they speak? Do they have any idiosyncrasies or identifiable patterns of speech, word usages, etc?

He only speaks English, and he tends to begin mimicking the speech patterns of the person he's talking to as a bit of a mocking phrase that he goes into when getting to know people, or he'll repeat things to also do that.

12. Do they sing or play any musical instruments, even if just for fun? How well?

Weeell he sings for fun, but he's not really good at it. 8| You know, those typical obnoxious shower singing types. He has an affinity for opera I'm sorry people who shower with him.

21. How well do they take criticism? How do they react to others noticing their flaws?

Ohh man, I think it'd entirely depend on who the criticism is coming from. If it were someone that was not too close to him, he'd probably get pretty angry about it -- or at least put up his little smart ass defense system and become really off putting to the person because "they have no room to tell me what I'm doing wrong they don't know me."

Like with criticism, he doesn't like those who aren't too close to him noticing his flaws (no matter how apparent they are), but he has an easier mind when a friend or family member  is noticing his flaws since they already know him/how he is so they have more room to judge him in his mind.

26. How much do they eat, and how often? Do they drink appetite suppressants (tea, coffee, etc)?

He tries to do the standard three meals a day thing to keep up his strength and health. How much he eats just depends on how hungry he deems himself. However, if he makes too much food for himself he will over-eat most of the time, so that he doesn't waste food. He's not much of a coffee drinker (he'll occasionally have a cup of coffee), and he's never tried tea before.

13. What decision in their past did they most analyze and fret over after the fact?

Hmm, he's not much of one to fret over his old life choices, since he lives by the whole 'you can't change the past so no point in worrying over it' kind of motto, but he does very rarely fret over the thought of that in the past when he was helpless to help out someone dear to him, which resulted in their loss of life. Since he firmly believes that if he were to pick a different job choice, he'd probably would have been able to help out.

15. Where in their body do they keep stress or tension?

He holds a lot of his tension in his chest and neck.

25. What do their hands look and feel like?

Oh my, I haven't thought about this much but I think he'd have big, bulky hands that are dry and cracked. ~u~
