[video/Actio spam if you are in or go to the medbay]
There's a moment in your life when you say to yourself ‘things can't possibly get better’…[By his tone of voice, it’s clear that he means that in a very ironical way. Someone's really irritable today.] …and then the universe proves you wrong.
I want to know where I am and what is that thing. [Knock Out points at his firelizard, perched on top of the highest shelf of the clinic, hissing at him. He can sense that something is really wrong with Knock Out and doesn't want to approach the mech.
The medic, on the other hand, knows way too well what is wrong with him but has no idea why he's in the middle of a clinic that has an office with his name on a door and why the little predacon-like-creature looks like his former partner.]
I want to know who thought it would be a good idea to mess with my chassis and give me that horrid tattoo, from all things.
[Does all this complain sound familiar? For those who were already here when KO arrived the first time might see some similarities.]

[What is with everyone today?]

[It's been a good run! He likes having you around.]
Well, as boring as our lives get around here anyway.
no subject
[And seeing Starscream pelvic trust sure doesn't count as a 'dance'.]
Okay, okay, this is a bit to much...let's start with something simple. What's your name? Perhaps it will ring a bell.
no subject
But...hey, it's alright. I'm already familiar with completely losing my memory, and it looks like everyone else around here is getting a bad case of the me's so I can fill you in.
[As much as this was hard. Not as hard as loosing people, but still hard.]
I'm Skids. Autobot, Theoretician, expert spur-of-the-moment-er. I'm in charge of zoning, which means I take care of border disputes and also plan the roads.
Since we're a little short on staff, I help build the roads too. It's been hell on my finish, but that's why we have doctors like you around.
no subject
Are you? Some help would be great, not going to lie, but...[You are an Autobot and so he looks wary.]
My, my, what a busy mech you are. You must have a lot of energy to spend. What a pity it's being wasted in road work.
no subject
With who?
[And where was the Nemesis? This couldn't be a trick, but this is definitely sounding similar to what happened with Barricade.]
Okay. Help, I can do.
You're on a proto-Cybertron. Pre...everything, and populated by gods.
Well, normally populated by gods. They sort of...vanished. A day ago.
However, we've still got out glyphs so it doesn't look like we'll be going crazy anytime soon. At least, not any crazier than normal.
...
[Okay, he has to ask.]
So what should I be doing if not road work?
no subject
....
Funny joke. Now, the truth, please? [Like he's going to believe all that.]
[Knock Out looks of confusion and annoyance vanish and his body language changes. He looks more relaxed and he smirks at Skids.]
I rather tell you in private.
no subject
But hey, if you don't believe me, just look at your arm. There should be something glowing there.
Aaand on the off-chance that there isn't, pretend I didn't say anything.
[Wait. Wait, he recognizes that posture. This...is a good thing, right?]
You know, last time I had to take you out a few times before...er. Before this. You had a partner, right? Breakdown? Killed by a spider?
no subject
There is and it's hideous. That's why I was complaining. Purple and green? On RED? Besides, it doesn't go away even if I try to erase.
Is there a problem if someone doesn't have one of those horrid tattoos?
[Oh yes very. For him at least. He's thirsty and you seem like a pretty face with a somewhat gullible character. Exactly what he needs right now.
Alas, you had to mention that. His smile vanishes instantly.] Had would be the word. How do you know?
no subject
[There might be a bit of a smirk for that. Still, its good to know that a potential fling isn't going to go crazy on you...even if the glyph does not match.]
It might be helped in certain lighting...or if you're standing next to a group of constructicons. You might be able to get it to change, though, if you do the right things.
[Just don't ask him what those things are.]
Suffice to say, yeah, there's a problem. You'd forget who you were and try to kill everyone you cared about.
Which would also put a dent in those revenge plans of yours. You, uh. You told me about them. The you before now.
no subject
[Knock Out's always has been someone who learns quickly how to adapt to new situations. Potential flings are always a good option.]
Heh. finally some positive news. What sort of right things?
[Sorry pal, he's curious.]
That doesn't sounds very nice, no. Who rules this place? There's always someone on top, often an unpleasant someone.
You really seem to know an awful lot about me. I'd be better if we could meet in person.
no subject
[You had to ask him about fashion? Isn't that something you're either sparked with or without? Except...wait. No. He could do this.]
I'd say if you swapped your accent color from gold to purple and went with green optics, you'd have a good start. It'd cool down your red instead of warming it up.
[There. He feels he did pretty well with that, given the circumstances.]
Those gods I mentioned are usually the ones giving the commands here. However, they are...ah. They're gone.
Care to give me your coordinates? I'd be happy to check up on you, bring a pint of energon to celebrate the fact that you're alive.
[That's usually worth celebrating here.]
no subject
Did someone kill them?
I'm in a medbay but it's not a very private place. [Knock Out's face get closer to the camera, his voice lowering to a purr.] People could interrupt us and I rather not have an audience.
no subject
[Given that he remembers his own green optics, its not a shot in the dark.]
Not killed, no. At least as far as I know they aren't. They're gone. It is sort of disorienting but if you don't remember them you probably won't notice the difference.
Where do you...er. Where do you want to meet, then?
[You're definitely a faster worker than before, but he does want to check in on you, and....maybe. Maybe more. So long as its not taking advantage or anything.]
no subject
[What a smart mech you are Skids. Knock Out's impressed.]
Can't say I do, no. [And he doesn't really care at the moment, he has bigger problems at hand.]
Given as I have no idea where I am....your place? Send me the coordinates.
[
Can't stop Won't stopHe has stronger urges now. He wouldn't mind the some more, though, even if you are obviously not a Decepticon. Who's taking advantage of who, though.]
