Zhat vas fun, vasn't it? Zhe adrenaline alone... it vas beautiful. Und for my teammates, vhell, I am sure you all did fine on your own, ja? Perhaps had to care for yourselves for a change? You appreciate vhat I do for you now, I hope.

Zhere is only vone vhay to celebrate zhis, und as it is Oktoberfest time, und I doubt Mayfield vhill be hosting her own... you see vhere I am going vith zhis!

[He cackles, just a bit.]

It vhill be a sorry Oktoberfest. Ve have only vhat zhis town provides us. But! Zhe mead zhat many of you know about? Vhill be making its debut zhere. No better place, ja? It vhill be more like a party vith lots of beer zhan a proper fest, but zhat should not stop us.

I vhill host it at my house, beginning on zhe 29th und ending on zhe first. No breaks. Everyone may come! I only ask zhat you bring something vith you. Food, beer, liquor; I really do not care. Only contribute.

My class? You have zhose days off. Vone of zhem is a Saturday, but I vhill not be hosting class on zhe ozher two.

[He doesn't bother filtering this last part, but hopefully it's clear who he's addressing. Anyone who speaks some amount of German should be able to pick up on what he's saying.]

/You're just as welcome as anyone else; I'm not interested in hiring a bouncer. My only qualification for you is that you leave your Nazi shit at home, otherwise I have a friend who will help me show you off of the property. This is supposed to be a good time, and I don't want to ruin it by fighting with you. Understand?/

You seem to think I particularly care about National Socialism.

Perhaps I will come! Then again, I might be rather busy.

...what's Oktoberfest?

[miraculous]

We're having guests?

[flowers-suck.livejournal.com]

[After the past week, she really needs something aside from her training to help her relax. She's just going to assume Oktoberfest is a drinking party from what he has said.]

And the address?

Phone

[doofenstrudel]

[Brightly] Oktoberfest!

[Much less brightly] I hate Oktoberfest!

It's noisy. Everyone's staggering around drunk on strong beer they're not prepared for, and they're laughing and puking and falling over things and all the tents reek of stale beer and smoke and wurst is the worst. It tastes like failure.

[There is a pause. He needs to breathe, apparently. But when he resumes, it's in German.]

/Who are you expecting to bring Nazi crap to a party, exactly!? It's entirely inappropriate for someone to be doing that./

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

... Dude.

I don't even care.

I'm totally going to this.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Ja! You sound surprised; are you BLU? Zhe RED I have met already.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Yea. BLU Sniper. Didn't realize there was a whole mess 'f us here. Hn. Jus' makes this place even more troppo.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Und you believe I am useless vithout it? How long do you believe I vorked in medicine vithout my Medigun?

[In German]

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

I don't really give a damn if you do or not. I'm saying don't bring that uniform with you if you come. It's not an unreasonable request.

It will be three days. What would you be busy with that whole time?

[His tone is actually rather light. Medic ain't mad, bro.]

(Private)

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is! Fräulein Pauling, please tell me zhis is not anozher of our companies' games? Vith your arrival I am starting to become suspicious.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

[HORRIBLE CRIME.]

It is kind of like a fair. At least, a real vone is. Zhis vhill be more like a drunken potluck.

woo action party

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Ve are, yes. Do not kill zhem.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

[Well, that's... essentially right!]

Ah, 504 Ricardo. Und who should I be expecting?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Ah, you vould be no fun anyvay. Zhat is all part of zhe reason to go!

[Medic actually snorts a little, laughing, though he sobers up a little at the subject change.]

/We have one here, sort of. You haven't met him?/

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Makes it suspicious, really. Bringing us togezher but not paying us? Vhat could zhey vant?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Vhat vould you care about? It is a party! Come, bring your friends. It vhill be a good time.

[flowers-suck.livejournal.com]

Major General Olivier Armstrong.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Zhat seems serious. Be sure to bring somezhing vith you; beer or potato salad, or... somezhing. Zhe whole point is to not care for a few days.

[flowers-suck.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she'll bring something all right, her pretty little droned self, with cookies and cake, or maybe pie!]

Not caring would be a good break, for a couple days. Especially after those zombies.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Well.

Y'know.

You being a fucking weirdo and all. And also, like... This is a German thing, right? Something Germans would go to?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

It originated in Munich, ja. You do appear to have a problem vith us.

It is open to everyone, however. Und if zhere are troublemakers, zhey vhill be shown zhe exit.
