[The Woods] Hi-Ho Hi-Ho

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Number 6 is in the very small patch of woods on the island. Not that you could see him, since he's currently underneath the ground, tunneling. No reason. Just for exercise. *cough*

Every once and again, he'll come up to shove out dirt and to get some fresh air. You might be able to catch him then, although he's about as social as is typical for him.

you're not encroaching on John's space, are you?

6 is very respectful of the property of others... unless he doesn't like them.

Cuz if 6 manages to stumble across the various things that Connor's stashed around the island, including his booze stash, oh, there'll be hell to pay

*A small rat in the tunnel just happened to breath its last, gasping breath, done in by a small clump of dirt that fell on it by way of Six's tuneling. If he could see, which he cannot, he'd notice a small, skeletal rat with a scythe having a very animated, yet squeaky, discussion with the non-coporeal form of the now deceased rodent.

However, since he cannot see, he just may, perhaps, feel a very small, tingling sense of dread, as though he'd forgotten to turn off the oven.*

From a tree, a grunt duck observes curiously.

Callisto wandered by and looked at the hole in puzzlement.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hey. Is this your hole?" John is wearing his new wintery garb that he got with Rogue that STILL hasn't been played out. And chaps.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I was just about to ask you the same question," Callisto shrugged and poked curiously at the edges of the hole. "Not mine."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I don't remember this one, and it's close to my other... hole." John said, lamely. Totally not hiding anything, noooooooo.

"Should we see who it belongs to?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

A heap of dirt flies out of the hole, followed by a very mucky 6. He looks disgruntled, but what's new?

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto scraped dirt off her face. "Hey 6, what are you doing?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"What? Nothing. Nothing at all. Just checking these tunnels for structural integrity."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"If you find any ammo boxes, I'd stay away. Especially the one marked '0045' and don't ask questions."

John peered into the hole. "And why are you checking for structural integrity? Have you hit the water table yet?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Some other fool has been digging holes around here. I've been avoiding them as best as possible, as they're apt to collapse my work. Checking the integrity. Of these tunnels which have been here for ages. Really."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto cocked her head to the side. "Whoever dug these old holes did good work, they look just like new."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"THanks. Er, I mean, I wonder who has done this?"

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Don't know. Don't care. If you'll excuse me." 6 made to re-enter the fresh-looking tunnel that he didn't just dig, honest.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"If you run across any ammo boxes, don't touch 'em. It's my booze stash Just warnin' ya."

"Wow. Crazy mofo."

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

From inside the tunnel, there was an annoyed bristling. "I heard that."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Well, y'are."

"Jeez, what is he planning down there? The water table's too high for anything like a bunker or even a root cellar. And the trees'll take it over, too."

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"I don't need to hold for very long, dear boy."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, 6," Callisto dug around in her bag before pulling out a flat package (http://pics.livejournal.com/psycho_barbie/tags/six+xmas/). "Here's your solstice present, in case the tunnel collapses or something."

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"I... I don't know what to -- I didn't get you anything, dear lady. My apologies."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"No need to apologise," Callisto grinned. "I didn't even know I was going to get you something until I saw this."

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Thank you. I shall cherish it after I've gone."
