[OPEN] what kind of fuckery is this
Who| Ford and YOU.
What| One vaguely-disoriented spy arrives in medieval hell, proceeds to heck shit up.
Where| The castle + village
When| Week 5
Warnings/Notes| Language, ridic spy antics.
He'd never admit it, never in a million years, but Rick Ford is fucking disoriented. Sure, he'd woken up on that bullshit cot with men in white coats holding him down and injecting some hellishly large tracking device in his arm. They'd told him some cock-and-bull bloody story about being part of some game, but Ford knows better than that.
Obviously, this is all some elaborate kidnapping plot by the KGB. They're trying to crack him. Trying to gain intel. But that's impossible, because he's Rick Fucking Ford, not some silly girly wanker like Fine or Wright or one of those other vaginas back at the CIA. He's a real spy. He can handle this. And above all, he can play along.
Of course, nobody's seen fit to give him a gun. Just an alarmingly stylish Louis Vuitton keyfob that's attached to the hem of his idiotic fucking costume. Ford isn't really sure what he's supposed to be, exactly; some sort of medieval cobbler with a stupid little hat that reminds him of a goddamn wimple. But his clothes are sturdy, anyway, and he's thankful for that fact. And he makes them look downright sexy, he does.
Ford spends some time scoping out the village, kicking down doors and going through each miserable little hovel like he's on a search-and-destroy mission. At some junctures, he may be humming the Mission: Impossible theme under his breath without even realizing it. Without a proper weapon, he's taken up a hunk of brick, which he's found is a good substitute for a bludgeon when necessary. The rats, while tenacious, aren't a threat in his eyes. Ford crushes their skulls under his boot heels without hesitation, and if necessary rips their heads from their bodies where they come leaping at him. He works at the Bureau, he knows how to deal with pests.
After seeing what there is to see in the village, Ford heads for the castle, hoping to score food or weapons. He spends some time perusing the feast, picking out a few crusts of bread that aren't moldering, giving the Avoxes suspicious looks, and even spending some time telling one of them exactly who these people are fucking dealing with. He can't resist a captive audience, and he has no idea that the nervous look on the Avox's face has nothing to do with Ford telling him exactly how many ways he's killed a man.
Once he has some food in his stomach (he's not really worried about paltry things like food poisoning), Ford heads upstairs to do some exploring. He spends quite a bit of time trying to wrench a decorative spear off the wall, finds it impossible, and gives up, barging in on bedchambers and trying to ignore the wretched smell that seems to pervade this entire hellhole of an Arena. If you were trying to sleep, good luck. Ford will likely barge in on you and talk your ear off. Or threaten you. Or both.

Castle
He's staggered into a bedroom but that big smooshy thing in the middle of the room weirds him out. All that fabric? What do you even do with all those?
So he's on the floor, which is nice and solid and no confusing duvets and what the hell with those seventy five different shaped pillows?! That is, until the door crashes in.
But Nux is a War Boy, so he's got reflexes like whoa (to match his intelligence like wuuuuut?), and he grabs the first bit of cutlery he's been hoarding, brandishing a mighty and terrifying...fork.
"I know how to use this!" Well, it looks kind of stabby, at any rate.
no subject
"A fucking fork? I hope to God you know how to use a goddamn fork, son, or you're more screwed than the whole of the United States of Bloody America put together." Rick shakes his head and steps into the room. "Blimey, I didn't know they put fuckin' kids in 'ere too. That's fucked up, that is. What are you, some teenage superspy who was taken by the Russians as a wee babe and trained to be a killing machine? No, not bloody likely considering you're threatening me with fuckin' cutlery. So you're probably in the same sad shape I am, eh?"
/dying
"I'm not a kid!" Would a kid have a V-8 engine scarred into his chest? No. No, he would not.
He mostly picking and choosing the words that make sense to him because...what is America? Or a Russian? All he knows is that this new guy is not respecting the fork. At all. "If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead." SO DEAD. You would be.
no subject
"You've got gumption, mate, I'll give you that. But I'll have you know that I once swallowed a fork and allowed it to pass through my digestive system, and then shat it out, after which I proceeded to use it to stab a fuckin' prison guard in a Siberian gulag and make my escape. Your fork doesn't worry me."
I should not laugh so hard at your tags they're fantastic.
But that whole fork...eating...thing? Nux is following along and his face goes through various permutations of wait, what? and WTF with a side of that's got to have hurt. Before finally settling on 'damn that's impressive'.
"That's...so chrome!"
I can't help it if I play the dumbest idiot ever okay
"Fuckin' right it's chrome," he chortles, nudging his new bff to stand up. He doesn't even know what that's supposed to mean but he can guess by his tone of voice. "You should see my fuckin' car if you like chrome. Audi r8. Cost me about ninety fuckin' thousand dollars, purrs like a kitten when you start her up."
Yes, Ford, that was totally an invitation to brag about your car.
he's amazing shush
"Is it here? Can I see it?" Can he TOUCH it? "Nobody has any cars here. It's weird." Okay, beyond weird, just downright unnatural.

Village
Though he was legally dead before the Mission Impossible movies happened, Gray can spot some similarities with the James Bond theme. Wow, they brought in James Bond as a Tribute. He paused, giving way to We are so screwed then. Either way, he's keep an eye out for this guy.
no subject
Ford kicks down the door to the hovel Phil is in, and ducks and rolls through the threshold, landing with his brick aimed like a gun on his bent knee.
"You!" he barks at Gray, eyes flinty and brow knit. "You got any fuckin' food?"
no subject
"Bon appetit...I think...you're new aren't you?"
no subject
He nods. "Brand-spanking fuckin' new. Who are these wankers? KGB? Italians? Hungarians?"
no subject
"Points on the Hungarians," Phil took his hand away from his knife for the moment, "but no...you're in Panem now, guest and performer to the Hunger Games. No KGB," Unless he counts Molotov but he hasn't seen her in the Arena since the first week, "Italians or any other countries it seems. Did they tell you anything?"
no subject
He crunches crow bone and spits it out, baring his teeth. "I don't buy one bit of it. There's clearly some high-level kidnapping conspiracy going on here. Why else would they kidnap one of the CIA's top agents?" Good job blowing your cover, Ford. A+.

The Castle
He looks peaceful, but he's both alert and racking his way through the tangled memories of those voices in the woods, and so as soon as he hears feet in the hallway he kicks off the blanket and sits up, grabbing his knife and shoving his supplies under the bed. He grabs the handle to the door and holds it, not about to block it like a scared biddy at a barricade but not lunging out to investigate yet.
"This room," Bayard says, in the deepest voice he can manage, which still can't help but sound childish, "is occupied."
no subject
"Come on, son, back off before you get hurt," he says gruffly, before taking hold of the outer door handle, turning it, and butting his shoulder into it. At least he isn't kicking the door open this time.
no subject
Bayard's not really the type to make threats, and so it sounds disorganized and limp atop of childish. He takes a deep breath, hand still on the knob.
"Who are you?"
no subject
Mostly, Ford wants to get out of this damn hallway. It's creepier than all get out and it makes him nervous to have his back turned to God knows what. "Agent Rick Ford," he calls gruffly, his thick cockney and naturally loud voice only slightly obscured by the thickness of the door.
no subject
"Maybe I just like privacy like any decent person. And you sound like an Englishman," Bayard says bluntly. "I won't hurt you either. Promise."
Really, Bayard talks a good game for very obviously being a scared kid with not much in the way of muscle mass or combat skill.
no subject
"'Course I'm a fuckin' Englishman, born and fuckin' bred."

Castle
A very angry man comes in. Then he starts yelling at an Avox. Aang stares, somewhat bewildered, for a good twenty minutes from the ceiling before he finally says, "You know he can't talk to you, right?"
If Ford looks up, he'll see a tiny monk boy with arrow tattoos and growing stubble on his normally shaved head.
no subject
"Jesus fuckin' christ, are there any other grown men in here, or is it just me and a bunch of kids?" Ford can't help but sound disgusted. A pause, and then-- "'choo mean, he can't talk? Had his tongue ripped out?"
no subject
"Yeah, exactly. They cut out your tongue and condition you to do whatever you're told if you do something really against the law. People like him serve in the Capitol. They're called Avoxes." Maybe that's more information than the man was asking for, but Aang likes to be informative for the new people.
Aang dangles his feet off the beam he's perched on, looking down curiously at the man. "It's mostly teenagers and adults here. You're new, right?"
no subject
Properly distracted, Ford turns and directs his attention fully upward. "Yeah," he admits, "yeah. 'Choo doing up there, then? You some kind of circus acrobat?"
no subject
"No, I think you're the circus acrobat." He said he's good at trapeze, after all. "I'm an airbender, though, so you were close. I like to be in high places, and I go up to the ceiling when someone I don't know comes near, so they won't be able to attack me easily while I figure out if I should run or not."
Aang's gotten much more practical about the Games since coming here.
no subject
He shrugs, gesturing up at Aang with one hand, the other planted on his hip. "Ain't a bad strategy, if you're not a fighter. Me, I've fought enough men that I like it. Look forward to it. But I'm not fuckin' keen on beating up little boys, so you can come down if you want."
