(send ✂ for my muse to blurt out a random secret of theirs!)

The Spy pauses for the briefest of moments, almost a bit startled as a sudden urge came over him.  This feeling…  were those People still out there, asking questions?  He could swear it.  But why was–

“I HAHVE NAHMES FAHR MY BUTTERFLY KNIVES!”  And just like that, the words suddenly burst out of his mouth before he could stop himself.  Immediately the man fell silent, eyeing the small crowd of literally everyone else in the base that turned towards him at the outburst.

It’s been nearly two months since the update on the mercs.  Not on purpose mind you; they simply had to make sure of the remainder of their interconnected transmitters in order to make the supplies they needed to heal and recover from the damage the robots had done to them.  It turned out Heavy had saved Medic’s Medigun with him in a cave not too far from where the mercs had relocated themselves, and from there it was a simple matter of taking what they had to build what they needed. Spy even showed up later on, his suit a little mussed up but apparently no worse for wear.

The mercs were finally back together.  Everyone was healing up, and so far the robots still had yet to return.

And now that Scout was using his free time to try and fix up the connection to the internet from the Mod’s computer they found under some rubble?  They could finally reach the blog again.  Even if things were still a little spotty from the poor job he did.

A scratchy, if recognizable voice comes from the speakers:

“H͝ey h̴e͝y,͘ ͜ańyone sti̛ll̛ out̨ '͏derè?  ̕W̶e'r̛ę ̧h̶e͡'͟e͘ an͡' li̧s̶te̕n͠i͝n'̨!̵ “

Scout

Chances are he won’t believe it at first.  He’ll laugh and shrug it off, honestly not expecting much out of the statement beyond it being friendly banter.  But once he has a chance to think about it, he’ll seriously overthink it.  Were you being serious?  There was no way you were being serious.  No way.  Seriously?  But wait, had he totally ruined it?  He’d shrugged it off and now you thought he was an asshole, right?  Shit.  He’d messed it up he’d messed it up he’d messed it up why did he shrug it off shit shit shit shit shit shit.

Of course when he goes to ask about it, he’ll say it very jokingly since he doesn’t expect you to answer in the positive again.  After that, he’s head-over-heels happy for at least the next few weeks; constant bragging comments few months.

Soldier

He doesn’t understand the gravity of the statement at first.  He laughs, slaps a hand on your shoulder and thanks you for the compliment.  He would, however, tell you entirely honestly that he loves you as well, then proudly stride off while entirely content with his belief that, since you were clearly only meaning it to be platonic, he got to admit his feelings without his secret being known!  The perfect ruse!!  You’d have to say it a few more times for the message to sink in, and after that he’ll probably turn a bit red in the face and say that he had been honest too.

Pyro

Absolutely filled with glee.  They are all giggles and sunshine whenever they’re around you, showering you with flowers and sweets and little drawings of the both of you together.  Of course, they’ll also invite you to watch the giant bonfire made from the corpses the opposing team, but look at the pretty sparks that come off of their glasses and watches!  Isn’t it pretty~?!

Demo

It may take a few tries for him to remember and realize that you’ve said it at all (late nights with drinks made it very difficult to remember anything at all), but once he does he sees it as the go-ahead to finally get romantic.  He’s a bit more gentle for a while whenever you’re alone, soft-spoken and kind.  But once he feels comfortable enough in the relationship, he’ll get back to being his loud and rather brash self; even moreso now that he’s got you by his side.  He’ll undoubtedly watch your back, just so long as you always have his.

Heavy

Heavy never had the chance to grow up somewhere where love and romance were common things.  In his childhood, having people outside of family that you cared about was a dangerous thing, and things could only end badly for you both.  That’s why when you first told him that you loved him, the entire world felt cold.  It was too dangerous.  Too risky.  He wants to care for you, but he’s scared of what it entails.  It will take a long while for him to feel safe enough to start showing emotion around you; although you’ll definitely be able to tell how fiercely protective he’ll be of you right off the bat.

Engineer

Engie will be beyond delighted that you’ve finally admitted your feelings for him; because it finally gives him the go ahead to do what he likes.  Every time you’re together he’s got his eyes and hands all over you, making sure your attention is on him and only him.  Even if you’re both out on the field, he’ll find a way to get to you and make sure you remember to whom you belong.  Heaven help the poor soul that happens to glance at you; enemy team or not they’ll be seeing the reset before the end of the day.  You’re his, after all; and no one else is allowed near you.  No one.  Ever.

Sniper

Sniper can feel his heart stop beating the moment after you say it.  The man can’t believe his own ears, and has to take about three full minutes to process what you said.  At that point he can practically feel his blood pounding throughout his body, turning his cheeks and ears a bright red.  He is still silent as ever, excited and anxious if a bit stiff and stuck in a daze.  He wants to believe it, and yet he simply can’t.  Did you really just say that?  Naw, you couldn’t have.  But you did.  But you didn’t mean it.  But what if you did?  There’s no way you did.  But he could have sworn you said it!  Maybe it was a mistake.  Oh, but that look on your face…  That couldn’t be a mistake.

Eventually he finally processes the statement and grins widely, hefting you up to spin you around, keeping you safely secured in his tight bear hug.  He’s laughing heartily and his heart is practically leaping out of his chest.  This has got to be the best day of his life.

Medic

Medic isn’t exactly one for serious romance.  He’s the type for a “friends with benefits” sort of relationship, and any mention of emotions is sure to get little more than a laugh and a dismissive wave.  However, when you happened to be the one to say that dreaded phrase, the man genuinely had to pause and take in what you’d said.  He eventually laughs and waves a hand to shoo the idea away, but it is far more halfhearted than what it would normally be.  Lots of people had said that to him before, but few have genuinely meant it.  Chances are he’ll be thinking about that moment for a long time, and only if you said it again will he think it’s genuine.

He might be afraid to speak to you for a while, just because he’s unused to that feeling being genuine.  He doesn’t know what to think of you, himself, or these feelings; so he’s afraid to get involved with anything.  After a while, he’d probably warm up to the idea of trying something serious, although he’ll probably go about it all wrong at first.

Spy 

(admin undercover’s spin on his reaction below. everything above is all admin headshot’s! :D)

Unlike his other teammates, his reaction doesn’t lead to a happy ending. Spy is a walking shadow - meaning he must sever any connections to him as discreetly as he can. True, maybe his heart yearns for settling down…giving up espionage…making another life for himself. But in the end, he knows he’ll always choose the thrill of spying over the routine that comes from loved ones.

So hearing a lover of his say, “i love you” for the first time, he knows it’s time to leave. There are two generalized ways he’d react: A) he can’t find himself loving this person back/doesn’t return the same intensity this person feels for him. or, B) he has a dawning realization, “oh merde, i’m in love, oh god, i can’t do this.” (the B route is rare in comparison to the A route). Either way, it doesn’t matter what Spy feels. 

The long-awaited updates of the status in the town of Teufort is about to unfold before your eyes, so brace yourselves people, and get ready for some news!

The Admins have been bombarded with the task of going through a ton of exams and quizzes for school, and it has successfully drained most of our muse, in case that wasn’t already obvious.  Admin Headshot even took leave from work to get her work done, and we’re still not quite there in terms of finishing it yet.

Muse is vaguely still present, however!  The Admins do still talk about this blog a lot, and we do intend to stick with it however slow we may be!

We are not looking for new admins at this time!  This is a project strictly between friends, and we’d like to keep it that way.

We will be (officially) closing down RPs on this blog, and RPs on the mod’s sideblog are temporarily shut down as well.  Not like that’s a big surprise to anyone, since we haven’t really been doing, well, anything.

We are also pausing in-character ask responses unrelated to the current story arc.  Once the gang is all together and things calm down a bit more, then we can get back to answering asks directly aimed towards them.  Otherwise it just doesn’t really go with the flow, you get me?

We are currently only going to be answering headcanon asks and asks concerning the current story arc!  We are sorry to limit things so much, but we don’t want to get your hopes up for things that just aren’t going to happen for a while with the muse and time we have available.

We hope you still enjoy our blog for what it is, even if it is very slow and choppy with its updates at times.  We love you all for sticking with us, and hope you all can understand these changes.  We hope to have things calmed down in our favor eventually, but for now this is just the way things are going to be.

Mod Blu adjusts her glasses and looks out at the scene before her, slightly lowering her laptop to better ensure the special back-view camera can reveal everything as well.

The base seems to be mostly rebuilt, albeit with various haphazard adjustments like literal sheets of metal just duct-taped into place.  It’s a bit hard to rebuild an entire warzone’s base with nine men who don’t actually know what they’re doing.  Engineer took most of the work up by himself, but really he’s just wondering why the respawn machine wasn’t adjusted to help the process along.  At least his machines can help.

Scout and Pyro are just visible in the back, still panting from having done so much work while Demo is busily handing them cold beers to try and cool them down.  Heavy, Medic, and Soldier are all huddled in a corner just beside this scene, already drinking cold glasses of water and with some still-healing injuries clearly bothering them.  Spy is off in the corner, in an idle discussion with Sniper who currently has some kind of large bandage on his face.  Mod Red is nowhere to be found.

((((Hey there everyone!  Mod Blu here.

So, we realized that having our own Mod names be the same as our character mod names was making a lot of people confused.  Yes, the Characters known as mods Blu and Red are not the same as the IRL Admins Blu and Red.  This confusion has been bothering both the Admins themselves and newcomer RPers that are interested in interacting with us, so we (the admins) have come up with a solution.

We are considering changing our IRL Admin names to Headshot (instead of Blu) and Undercover (instead of Red)

In the Story, the characters known as Mods Red and Blu will still be there, keeping their color-based names.

OOC, the Admins would be known by these name changes.
