Alright, I've got that (hopefully improved) writing binge. This idea has been floating around in my head for a few weeks now, hopefully its not too well frowned upon. Smut and violence included. (No smut for a while, sorry.) Prelude Chapter One: Research The BLU Medic returned to his cluttered ward after the battle. A long day of chasing down his teammates with the medigun had left his legs burning and aching. They had managed to hold the RED's cart off for the umpteenth time. The new methods of battle were strange to everybody but the amount in their paychecks easily distracted their thoughts. He rolled up his sleeves and ceremoniously donned a new pair of blue rubber gloves to begin his work. After the recent "sightings" of a nearby monster, he had taken up to splicing animal genes and mixing them in with his doves. Many attempts were successful... but very few were practical. No matter how hard he thought about it he couldn't find any uses for tentadoves, but the results were very informative. Fish and birds don't mix. So, he began working with mammal genes. He grabbed the latest syringe of genes and held the flailing dove in his other hand, cooing and shushing it. Just as it finished its struggling fit a large needle plunged into its side. "Shhhh meine dove, the worst part is almost ovar, ja?" The German gave the dove a quick pat on the head as it began to droop to the side before setting it in a cage labeled, 'Warthhog'. His hands lingered on the door of the cage for a moment, watching the sleepy dove before leaving his blue laboratory for the night. ------------------------------------------------------------ CM Chapter One: Spotlight A small circular platform rose to existence, swirling spotlights revealed the purple and white stripes of a large circus tent, two large wooden poles stationed in the middle of the ring. The tension and anticipation of what was to come was almost visible in the air. A thick blue fog draped the ascending stage as a lone shadow stood in the center. A spotlight focused near the figure, the form of a boisterous man draped in red checkered balloon pants, black boots, a red dress shirt and a black top hat came into view. A large grin spread across his rosy cheeks as he pulled a microphone to his lips. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, I present to you, The Zirkus der Ãœberlebenden's very own, Perfect Freak!" the Ring Leader announced. The spotlight shifted revealing a slouched man shackled to both the floor and to himself. His head slowly rose to view tonight's crowd. His shaggy overgrown black hair nearly covered his eyes and his black talon-like hands shook with fear. The spotlight brightened, revealing his gray skin and green horns. His mouth opened as if to sob revealing tusks jutting from his lower jaw. Laughter and surprised murmurs filled the tent around him. The scent of sawdust and the taste of tears filled the man with terror. He dropped his head only to have the Ring Leader grab his chin with those hideous hands of his and force him to face the wooden bleachers. "My dead, dear friend, we have only three more nights until our next performance, its as if you want to keep rehearsing! Don't fret, the laughter will be much more real for the show. Now, lets take it from the top, oh, and don't forget to smile my friend!" The Ring Leader walked away, a devilish grin on his face to inform the soundboard of the extended rehearsal. The Medic collapsed, his obsidian claws covering his face. He breathed uncontrollably, it was suddenly frigid in the tent. He hoped him and Death would soon be acquainted. ---------------------------------------------------------------- So, something kind of new to the chan. Its not intended to be an OC, well at least not the Medic. Constructive Criticism welcomed. Special thanks to my friend in real life for beta-ing this.
Interesting...I didn't think it would be the Medic at first.
I didn't know it would be Medic. Interesting twist there... Write more please!
>>1 Dove in german is taube according to google translate. I think you need to have a bit more of a link between your prologue and chapter 1. The disconnect is a little jarring and ch 1 doesn't seem to have anything to do with TF2 really, except for the word Medic.
Well, originally I planned to make it one prologue chapter one, one main chapter, so eventually when it connects its like a mindfuck type of thing... but now I'm beginning to have second thoughts. Well just have to see how it works out.
