Lopez the Heavy | Red vs. Blue

i. los cambios —

[ There's a shootout, the Charon soldiers bursting into the office—and then Lopez is here, on an average street in an average town in who-knows-where. He looks around, turning in a short arc. ]

Huh.

[ He has a tendency to talk to himself, borne of being the only one that ever holds it together in any given situation, being the only one that can even understand what it is he has to say. So he starts muttering to himself in his usual monotone, robotic voice. ]

Figures I'd end up alone.

[ He starts then, gives another little turn, trying to work out what's going on here. ]

What? Why am I speaking English? I can't speak English!

ii. las calabazas —

[ Lopez walks up to the front of a shop where a line of pumpkins is arranged, almost blocking his way in. Slightly annoyed, he gives the pumpkin closest to the middle a good kick. ]

What do you think you're doing, in the middle of the way?

[ The pumpkin rolls over to the edge of the front stoop and lands on its side. And then the expressions on the pumpkins' faces seem to change.

Lopez looks at them. ]


I'm going out of my mind.

iii. juego de corazones —

[ Lopez frowns when the beeping begins, eventually giving up on knocking the device against the table and selecting the game instead. He's annoyed at the question and tries to ignore it, but he can't. It won't let him. ]

I'm not shy. And I don't celebrate the seasons. I've never been in a place where the seasons changed.
