[Public][Text] #2 Sniper

[notintehkitchen]

Dear Mr. BLU Sniper,

I have a special present just for you. Do not fret, it is not your death. However, if you do not accept my invitation to give you the gift perhaps I will change my mind and kill you instead.

Sincerely,
RED Pyro

Are there piranhas in Paradise? I do not think Sniper would get angry over an offer like that though, especially if you're offering coffee and cigarettes. What did you say, exactly?

[Yes. At least Pyro can't see how amused Miss Pauling looks.]

I don't know, maybe! I thought he could take a look for me since he was going hiking!

[You can't tell she's pouting over text but she is.]

I didn't say anything mean.

Perhaps then there is a misunderstanding.

It is in our nature to hate each other.

Re: [Private][Text]

Sniper is not a bad person. He is just very different from you. I don't think he hates you.

You don't have to tell me that. I became well aware to that fact the moment I had my first glass of jarate thrown at me.

Re: [Private][Text]

If he really hated you, he would have killed you, not answer your calls, or talk to you. As it stands, he's actually of the opinion that you hate him and that you'd set him on fire the moment you see him.

If it isn't too much, I'd like to ask why you're threatening to kill him if he doesn't accept your gift?

What a weakling. He can't even solve his own damn problems without whining to someone else.

No. I don't want to talk about it.

Re: [Private][Text]

[prpl_assistant]

He only spoke about them because I asked.

Whatever's going on between the two of you, I'd just like to request that the killing be kept to a minimum, at least until we get the Respawn working properly?

No.

Now you listen to me, Miss Pauling. There will never be a respawn system that works like ours back home. We are just like everyone else here, you even more so. If you die, you'll die for good with a small chance you'll come back missing something important to you.

As someone who has been here for a year, I speak from experience and seeing it with my own two eyes.

[Oh Pyro, she is so tempted to lay it on you. Thank God this is text; she takes a deep breath and continues typing.]

Then don't resort to death threats. If you know the Respawn here is faulty and that death comes with a price, then using death threats isn't going to endear others to you.

I would really just appreciate it if you stop threatening to kill him. I can't stop you, but I'm asking you to consider that threatening to kill someone isn't the most effective way of talking to them.

I'll do whatever I please if I believe his behavior is unacceptable.

You talk as if you don't even realize where we come from. Death threats are a normal part of a job. He's a BLU, I'm a RED. These conflicts will happen even with ceasefire.

Re: [Private][Text]

If you feel his behavior is unacceptable, you have the right to speak your mind and tell him, but there isn't a need to set him on fire to get the message through. If he refuses to change, then that is his choice. Much like it is your choice to choose whether to listen to my advice or not.

I am just trying to minimize the chances of anyone getting hurt unnecessarily, physically or emotionally. I don't want to see you, nor him, getting upset or worked up because of misunderstandings. I do apologize if I have somehow offended you because that is far from my intention, but all I can say is that your words carry weight Pyro, so choose them carefully. You have tried to help him adjust to Paradise, and I AM grateful for that. But just as you can help him, so too can you hurt him and maybe unknowingly. He is no saint himself, but please trust me when I say that he means no harm to you either.

I just want us to be safe. That is all.

Once again, I do apologize Pyro if I have said something that hurts your feelings. I hope your meeting with him goes well.

Since I am not under contract while I am here, I will do whatever I please.

I don't kill so easily, if you judge me to be the sort then you are sorely mistaken about me.

[But if this dumb girl is going to get mad over it, she might send Jell-O over to make her miserable. Urgh.]

It's more fun for me to torture an enemy and keep them alive for as long as possible. Now, it is best if you refrain from talking to me any further before I get agitated to the point I feel like silencing you.
