Video Transmission: Junk Pile

[cpt_timeruiner]

[See Captain Renko sit. See Captain Renko sit while it snows. Sit, Renko, sit!

Actually, anyone that looks towards the bottom of the video will notice that his legs are straddling the main cannon of a tank. And that Renko has the biggest grin on his face. He leans back slightly and twists to put the big red bow his package originally had back on the turret behind him. The faint blue glow of the TMD is slightly visible from under the sleeve of his trenchcoat.]

Does anyone have a can of black paint and a paintbrush I can borrow? This poor thing doesn't have a name yet.

[It also doesn't have any ammo but he doesn't particularly care at the moment. TANK!]

Comments

[Video] not sorry

[warborn]

-did you even ask it if it had a name?

[Video] aslkfjkslkjf best

[cpt_timeruiner]

I figured it would have said something while it was stuck in the wrapping paper.

Besides, most things made by humans in the 1930s didn't talk.

[Video] |D

[warborn]

That's human made? No wonder it looks like slag.

[not outright an insult, just. observation.]

[Video]

[cpt_timeruiner]

[Saying a perfectly functional tank looks like slag isn't exactly a compliment either, though.]

I think I ought to be insulted on this tank's behalf.

[Video]

[warborn]

It has one?

[Video]

[cpt_timeruiner]

Some of us personify our vehicles. Hence the whole 'name the tank' thing. Besides, it may not look like much, but this is one good, sturdy little machine.

[warborn]

Hn.

[ he gets it, but- it /looks/ like it could be a Cybertronian, albeit with a frak of an altmode, but...]

Looks like a Crawler if y'ask me.

[he can get in the 'spirit'! see?]

[Video]

[cpt_timeruiner]

Now you're getting it. [See? It's not so hard!] But... I think I've got something picked out.

It's freaking you out because you're used to vehicles being like you, aren't you?

[Video]

[warborn]

Hey, I'm used to being in ships that don't have more than a drone's AI. Not so much something that looks my size and doesn't even have that.

What're you calling it?

[Video]

[cpt_timeruiner]

Machines on Earth aren't smart enough to carry on conversations like this, normally. Especially not when the machines were made in the 1940s.

'Hellfire'. It feels appropriate.

[raceme]

I have paintbrushes but not paint sorry.

I HOPE you are not planning on using that thing against anybody.

[cpt_timeruiner]

Well, having one would help. Mind if I take a look at them?

I can't operate the turret and the stick at the same time. Besides, who would I use it on?

[raceme]

Not at all I HAVE them in my room I will bring them to you ^{if you} give me your location.

I don't know Renko...those who annoys you? I'm just being careful IT'S my job. Those who yield big weapons often want to try them.

[cpt_timeruiner]

All right. Sending you my coordinates. [Bleep bloop! Not that it wouldn't be easy to find a man sitting on top of a tank that has a big red bow on it, even in the Junk Pile...]

I'm hard to annoy. And if I want to shoot something, I promise I'll keep it to inanimate object from the Junk Pile.

[raceme]

I will go find the paintbrushes and go there in 3 minutes and 45 seconds. [Oh, now that he got the coordinates Blurr knows EXACTLY where Renko is and how much it will take him to arrive there. It's the GLyph's fault, it changed him lately.]

Thank _you then I DON'T ask for more.

[cpt_timeruiner]

Well, that's... very precise of you. [He hadn't expected that, really. Now if he only had a watch to time him by...]

It wouldn't be good for someone on the law committee to go around shelling people, after all.

[raceme]

Yes ehm...it's just a thing I can do now.

No but it wouldn't be the first time someone form a law committee gets drunk with power. SO how are things going with the Committee? Do Starscream _{and Ultra} Magnus fight all the time?

[cpt_timeruiner]

It's, ah. Useful, at least?

Good thing it's hard to get drunk on power when everyone else outweighs you by literal tons, then. [And when he's not sure the TMD would even work on living robots, too.] Arguing is pretty normal for any decision-making body with multiple people. Ultra Magnus seems pretty into some... what is it, the Typhoon Accord or something?

[raceme]

Ohyesveryuseful.

There is that detail, yes. [Blurr still think that is never bad to be careful.] The Tyrest Accord, it doesn't exist in my universe but I know a bit about it AND YES YES it is something really important for him.
