[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.

Phil's eyebrow are raised as he watches the stranger rolls into the pitiful structure, "You could have opened the door like a normal person would." What does this man have against doors? They're good ways to keep killers out. He hesitates in tossing the man a meager meal of a dead crow, keeping what little he has left of his food rations back for younger tributes and himself.

"Bon appetit...I think...you're new aren't you?"

Ew, Phil flinched at the sight of someone just biting into the dead bird without even cleaning it or cooking it. But it's the ridiculously manly story that makes him do a double take. "How did you...how did you walk away from breaking your leg then apparently her back?" Phone Guy's curious, that's for sure.

"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?"

"CI-Oh you're not James Bond!" Gray let out a frank sigh of relief (that would imply competence) before he gave the agent a sympathetic look, "Well, hope that CIA training's good here because you're stuck here...for a very long time."

He's so not telling this guy he was a night guard before all this, it's nice to see someone with such bravado to state things like their rank. "I'm Phil, by the way." And keeping a safe distance from that brick thanks.

"You're...proud of that...great, and trust me, it'll get weirder from here," Phil chuckled at the mental image, then pointed to the castle, "Right up there's the castle, I hear there's loads of armor and weapons, and even more food. Unless you feel creative with the glass, if you can manage around the, uh...sharp edges. That's how I started off and I'm doing sorta good."

If this guy was really CIA, there was a chance that giving him a weapon was a terrible idea. Gray still had a spare knife given to him by Jet, stashed away. "Sponsors love it when Tributes think on their feet. You look like that sorta guy."

Wait how did that... Phillip stopped his mind from asking very deep questions about the man's digestive system. He probably doesn't want to know, or this new Tribute is full of exactly what he just described: glass-covered shit.

So Phone Guy devised a little test as to see how much of Rick's bravado is real, and how much of it is hot air, "You can either climb the walls, and hope you don't fall to your death. Personally? I'm afraid of heights and breaking my neck." He then pointed in another direction, "Or you could go through the catacombs, where there's rats, corpses, and possibly ghosts."

Oh NOW I want to see this, with all the shit Phil has been through, he has an undeniable glee to see this sort of badassery or dumb luck. He points to the castle then, "Then you're set, Mr. Ford!" Hell, Gray tossed in half an apple, bit dry but still edible, "I won't keep ya from raiding that castle and making the Capitol swoon over you."

How much of that is actual encouragement and what is sarcasm is left for the spy to decide on his own.
