VALORANT: Stories

Doctor, Doctor (Viper x Killjoy)

Doctor, Doctor

With the Kingdom being quiet lately, the people at VALORANT were calmer than usual. Though they still followed their daily schedule, it wasn't as hectic and demanding as it usually was, especially whenever there'd be an emergency operation they would need to tend to.

The entire exterior of the facility was blanketed with snow thanks to the current season's weather. Due to the lack of taxing missions, the Agents were allowed to relax and given so much time to either work on upgrading their equipment, honing their skills at the training area and simulation rooms, or having a much intense version of a snowball fight.

Raze and Killjoy stole a bunch of standard grenade launchers at the armory and tweaked them to point where they were finally capable of launching a ball of snow at whoever they're aimed at. The two troublemakers enlisted Phoenix and Jett's help in gathering the others and next thing the whole headquarters knew, the Radiants could be found gunning each other down one snowball at a time.

Brimstone was the last one to arrive at the little battle. He was shot square on the face and back the second he stepped foot in the 'battlefield'. He was fully expecting the aforementioned four to be behind the chaos, and the sight of Reyna, Breach and Skye joining along wasn't too much of a far-fetched idea. 

Seeing Sage, Sova and Cypher shoot around with the others was a bit of a surprise, but not as big as it was when he spotted Omen and Viper chasing after Jett and Phoenix. Jett was holding what seemed to be Viper's tablet, while Phoenix was just laughing to himself as Omen snarled and chased after him.

Of course when Brimstone saw one of the patrolling soldiers get knocked aside by a snowball and ended up crashing through a few barrels at the side, that's when he finally barked at all of them to end the commotion, with Raze and Killjoy being lectured immediately after Phoenix and Jett pointed at them for starting everything.

With the whole snowball fight being put to an unfortunate end, Raze wasn't too quick to be deflated. Recalling how they had missed Halloween due to the overflow of missions at the time, Killjoy grew excited at the idea of them throwing a costume Christmas party. Despite not being children and being complete professionals out on the field, it was always nice to take a break from all that and just letting their childish sides come out.

When Brimstone was approached with the whole idea, though the man was reluctant at first, he eventually gave in, mainly because he knew the two would find another way to cause some excitement throughout the facility if he didn't allow the harmless party.

In just a day, the word about the costume party spread throughout headquarters and once again, the genius yet mischievous duo asked for Phoenix and Jett's assistance in taking down some of the costume requests of those that would be attending.

While Raze asked Cypher, Breach and other soldiers off-duty for help in clearing out one of the wide halls reserved for indoor orientations and such, Killjoy managed to employ Sage and Reyna's help in handling the catering for the party.

A trip through the nearest city was all it took for them to clear out all the costume shops in the area and when they came returned, they had a whole truck filled with costumes ranging from scary-looking to holiday-themed.

As for the money used for all of this, well, let's just say Raze made sure to equally divide the cost between her and the other Radiant Agents. Nevermind the fact that some of them were clueless about it.

In her quarters, Killjoy eagerly slipped her Mad Scientist costume on, which was completed with a frizzy white wig and black rubber gloves. Confidently donning the lab coat, grey pants and black boots, Killjoy made her way to the hall, where the party was being held.
