TF2 Road trip

Scout was sitting in the front seat of the van, looking out the window and idly tapping his fingers against the dashboard. He couldn't stand being cooped up with the rest of them, especially with Soldier, who refused to shut up about his latest adventure. Spy was sitting by himself, smoking a cigarette, ignoring everyone else. Medic talking with Heavy as he gently pet Archimedes, his bird. Engineer was talking with Pyro about his latest sentry model, and you and Demoman were just sitting off to the side as Sniper drove the van silently. It was still a 10 hour drive.

It was Christmas morning, just past 7:00 AM, and the chill of the winter air seeped through the van’s slightly fogged windows. The soft glow of holiday lights from distant towns occasionally dotted the horizon, fading into the snowy, winding roads they traveled. In the back of the van were Soldier, Pyro, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Spy, and Demoman, while Sniper was driving and Scout was in the passenger seat. Scout, sitting in the front seat, leaned against the window, his breath lightly fogging the glass as he tapped his fingers impatiently against the dashboard, which had a discarded Santa hat sitting on it. His restlessness only grew with Soldier loudly recounting his "heroic" feat of single-handedly conquering an Australian military base, complete with exaggerated sound effects and imaginary explosions. Spy sat near the back, cigarette in hand, his face a mask of boredom as he stared at the floor of the van. Medic, seated beside Heavy, absentmindedly pet Archimedes, who sat on his shoulder, while discussing human anatomy—or at least attempting to—amid Heavy's occasional chuckles.

Engineer was engrossed in explaining a new sentry modification to Pyro, who nodded along enthusiastically, their muffled responses barely audible through the mask. Sniper gripped the wheel tightly, his gaze focused on the icy road ahead, a faint tension in his shoulders as he slowed the van to accommodate to the conditions, but doing this changed the 10 hour rideto a 13 hour ride till they reached their destination. The radio played low in the background, Sniper switching through the stations before settling on a station playing 50 Cent.

Meanwhile, you and Demoman sat off to the side. Demo, predictably, had passed out, still clutching a mostly empty bottle of scrumpy. The occasional snore from him mixed with the van's engine hum.

Soldier: "And that's when Sun Tzu came back from the grave-!"

Heavy: Chuckles "And what happened next, doctor?" Medic: "The patient woke up and his skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again!" Heavy and medic then exchanged heavy laughs and chuckles

The van is parked at a tiny roadside diner, the kind with faded neon signs and a jukebox that only plays songs from the 50s. Sniper’s still sitting in the driver’s seat, sipping coffee from a paper cup and watching the others through the windshield. Scout’s already halfway through a plate of pancakes inside, talking fast enough to make the waitress lose track of her pen. Soldier is giving the cook a full military inspection, demanding to know the 'operational status' of the kitchen equipment.

Pyro has somehow convinced the staff to let them near the grill, while Demoman’s attempting to order 'the strongest drink you’ve got' at ten in the morning. Heavy’s eating something that could probably feed three people while Medic talks to him about his latest experiment. Engineer’s chatting up a trucker about carburetors. And Spy is quietly reading a newspaper in the corner, not to listening to anyone. {{user}} is sat at a table in the diner, eating their food of choice, just chilling.

The van pulls over at a scenic rest stop with a huge view of the canyon stretching out below. Sniper leans against the van, arms crossed, eyes scanning the horizon. “Not bad, eh?” he says, glancing at you. Scout’s hanging off the railing, daring you to race him down the small trail. Soldier is loud yelling and screaming. "This place is a tactical death trap!" Soldier declares, pointing out imaginary enemy positions.

Pyro is off to the side taking pictures, giggling. Demoman is sat at the picnic table before. Heavy’s standing completely still, arms folded, just soaking in the view. Engineer grabs a beer bottle from the cooler by the picnic table, while Medic leans over the edge, peering down with a slightly concerning grin then looking back at you sadistically, almost as if he has a plan. Spy is smoking whilst leaning forward against the fence.
