re_alignment | [Video] - Bugs bugs bugs, but they glow, so it's like Christmas spirit?

[The video comes on to Jetfire frowning thoughtfully at one of his hands, held up and... apparently crawling with pinpoints of moving lights. He shakes it, and there's a veritable cloud of winking lights exploding in all directions.

Some of them fly past the screen close enough to reveal they're tiny, dragonfly-like metal bugs. That glow.]

There was an accident, and the thirty of these that I had contained in my lab and were developing were let out. It seems their replication matrix is working, because they're certainly not thirty any longer.

I apologise if they are a... er, nuisance.

I am rather sure I can hazard a guess from a few cycles of observing that the replication matrix is working correctly though, since while they've become more as a response to the greater space available outside of the lab, I believe they're not replicating completely out of hand.

[He shakes his helm slowly, dislodging a crowd tiny bugs that has landed on his helm and nasal ridge.]

Hopefully they'll... spread outside of Haven soon.

Him , yes I've met to him.

[BECAUSE HE'S GOOD WITH WORDS. And he's enjoying the view of you nervous.Embarrassed is a good option.]

Necessary, of course. [He look he's giving you, Jetfire.]I'm glad to hear that the Decepticon and Autobot relationships here are so close.

[Sorry, denied because Decepticon reasons.]

[It probably won't last.]

Let's hope you are right.

Well, I wouldn't go hauling him around for any little thing.

[Have a frown that probably looks very similar in complement to the look you just gave him, Knock Out, even if his optics are too bright to only be disapproving. Embarrassed, definitely.

Because what is that look for?!]

... er, well. It's hardly... ah, something spread between factions. While we're hardly at war [conflict was another matter, or even tension] with the scattered individuals present, I doubt there's much close association.

[This is sort of uncomfortable, really. But he's neither going to deny any relationship... or outright admit to it either. Then he just shakes his helm.]

Given what could happen each time someone is pulled through that tear in space-time, yes, I hope so as well.

Why not? You sure seem like you could and Starscream being mangled by a much bigger mech it's a normal thing. [At least in his universe.

Knock Out gives Jetfire an innocent look in response of that embarrassed glare.]

So it's only a private thing between you two? [Jetfire you are only making this worse.]

[And all that just has his engine stuttering slightly before Jetfire folds his arms over his chestplates and shakes his helm again. His optics are pretty bright, however.]

That's not... While I've slammed him into the ground a few times, I'd hardly mangle him, and er, it's... pretty... ah, personal, yes.

[Because that's what it is, and there's no way to deny that. Even if Starscream would still only be angry at him it'd be personal.]

[Knock Out is just plain loving all those reactions. He never got those from the autobots in his world.]

Into the ground? I can think of better places to use but each couple is different.

[Knock Out will mock the seeker mercilessly from now.]

While fighting, Knock Out.

[Said dryly and with an arch look though probably with a lot more patience than others would be able to summon by now. Jetfire might be flustered by flirting, but he can collect himself.]

Whatever else we might or might not do, that's simply a move I use during combat. And it's not exclusive to Starscream either.

[So he might have strange combat techniques, so what? Knock Out would probably be very amused to hear what Jetfire might say (to Starscream) during fights, however.]

Oh, while fighting...of course. My bad, sorry for the confusion.

[He doesn't look sorry at all, but he know he shouldn't push it further.]

So you like it close and personal? So do I.

[Knock Out approves of those, actually. He doesn't have fire range weapons after all, if you don't count the prod.]

[Jetfire's expression sort of narrows at what Knock Out's saying, but in the end he just shakes his helm; patience won out, really.]

Quite. And it simply makes it easier to be sure what sort of damage I'm inflicting and on who.

[He's got quite a few ranged weapons, but the huge double-barreled rifle isn't very subtle... The ones on his arms are slightly more so, but while he can use them unthinkingly nowadays, he still prefers going melee.]

[I bet having Starscream as a boyfriend helps to train your patience.]

You can still do that from a distance. You just need to have good aim. Not your case?

[Ko doesn't know all that yet, though.]

[That, as well as the fact that he already had a giant amount of patience ensured that he had the time to stick around Starscrea.]

My aim is quite good, thank you, but that's not the point of not using long-range weapons as the preferred method.

[Jetfire frowns a bit. It's about knowing, exactly, what you're responsible for and towards whom.]

[Now, Jetfire, imagine Starscream and Knock Out teaming out to test your patience.]

I know it's not. Relax, I was just teasing you a bit.

[Have a dry stare that nonetheless has some shades of amusement.]

I wondered. But I should get to trying to deal with these bugs. At least insofar as emptying my lab of them---

[There's a crash off-screen, far enough away it's obvious Jetfire probably is in another room, or in the corridor outside of the main lab.]

And deal with that, as well.

[Amusement is good!]

[Knock Out raised an eyebrows at the sounds of the crash.] That would be a good idea.

I don't want to keep you busy, I can tell you have plenty of little problems to take care off.

Thank you. I don't need more accidents like the one that led to the bugs being let out, or anything worse than that.

[Jetfire huffs faintly with a shake of his helm, and then disconnects.]
