[ Oh look! It's the lady in the suit. She sounds pissed. ]

Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on? Something heavy fell on my head in the medbay storage room, knocked me the hell out and I don't know how fucking long I've even been passed out under a pile of boxes.

The hell is even going on here?!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Wow. That's one impressive set of 'summoning Drift' lungs you have there. The only person he's ever seen able to do that before was Rodimus.]

Uh, well, the bigger ones could eat me whole, so yes. Large-sized ones.

They've been chewing on residents for long enough that even I'm running out of energy to fight them.

That, and my grappling hook is tangled.

Uhhgggg goddamnitwhy?

I'm kind of starting to wish whatever hit me kept me down longer.

I could probably fix that for you, you know.

Why centipedes, Why monsters, or why do they keep following you?

[It's an important distinction, he thinks.]

Really?

Could you?

Because that would be great. Fortress Maximus and I have this count going, and I'm only down by a few, and...

Well, I guess that's it, but I'd really like to win.

You at Solus's?

Why does it always have to be bugs? First giant spiders, now this. I can deal with monsters, shit, I am a leading authority in killing monsters but not bug monsters. Fuck that.

Yeah, isn't a problem for me.

And yes, I'm in the storage room ready to obliterate anything with more than two legs and probably freak out afterwards.

The extra legs are a bit unnerving, yeah.

So is the goo inside.

[He's gonna need a good, long wash when this is done. He's gonna have to find out where the hell one is, though.]

I've been there a few times, and nothing has gotten in yet. Rumor has it that they're afraid to interfere with Ratchet when he's in surgery.

[Some things never changed, even with Ratchets.]

Probably think twice if you scream as loud as you did earlier, too. [His audials were still ringing.]

Oh, hey, Vandal, know where any wash-racks are?

Oh ew ew ew ew.

... Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised of that. I'm still staying in the closet, though.

[ She sighs. ]

I didn't scream. That was not a scream. That was a high-pitched yell of distress.

[ Aka, a scream. ]

Oh uh, yeah there are some in Solus temple, I think?

So long as you can get my hook untangled from in there, I don't mind.

Oh.

Right.

Sorry, I must have gotten 'scream' confused with 'squeal.'

[Isn't it better just as scream?]

I am going to be taking some serious advantage of those after this is done, then.

It...will end, right?

Yeah, shouldn't be a problem.

[ OH GURLLLL ]

I may need to kick you in the face for that.

[ Another pause. ]

Uh. Well. Yeah, I mean. They usually do. This isn't the first time freaking monsters have shown up and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last.

You can use my face as leverage while you get the kinks out of my line.

[Wait.]

Actually, cancel everything I just said there.

[Because all of it sounded REALLY painful.]

That's kind of nice to know, being my first time dealing with them. I mean, how bad would it be to survive through millions of years of war just to end up in a giant centipede, now?

... Yeah I was gonna say...

You know. That's what she said.

[ An amused sound. ]

Yeah, that would kind of really suck. Get here in one piece and I'll un-kink you, buddy.

That's what who said?

Elita?

[Because its the only 'she' he knows of off the top of his head. Except you and Saber, who may or may not be a relic.]

How can I say no when you put it like that?

Oh, hey, any idea if Rung is still in the medbay or not?

It's-

Uh. Never mind.

[ She chuckles. ]

You can't.

Oh uh, I'm not sure? I haven't really come out of the closet yet.

[The closet door handle turns.]

We should fix that.

Ah-!

[ She wasn't expecting him so fast! She jumps when the door opens. ]

Shit, Skids! You scared the crap out of me!

[He pauses, and stares down, letting his optics adjust to the lighting.]

That.

That can't actually happen, right?

It's possible but unlikely. In any case it was a turn of phrase for me.

Either way, good lord you got here fast. I guess let's take a look at your kinks. Er. Your cord. Thing.

[ Sigh. ]

Let's just have a look at you. Sit please.

I didn't make it very far after dropping Rung off earlier.

Lets just say that if you don't like really giant aliens with lots of legs?

You're better off in here.

[Especially if you can get the kinks out of people. If so, he's going to be throwing Whirl into a lot of closets very soon.]

Right.

[Unwinding the cord from his arm, he sits and sets it down beside him.]

I think it got jammed after.

Ah.

An incident.

Edited 2013-02-17 04:35 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely liking the safety in here.

[ She walks over, examining the mechanism quietly. ]

Incident...?

An incident that may or may not have involved using my grappling hook to.

Um.

Ride a monster off a cliff.

[It had been possibly the most awesome thing he had ever done.]

[He holds still while she looks at his grapple-hand, though, hoping he didn't jam it too badly when the centipede-in-question had tried to throw him.]

Christ, Skids.

That's fucking awesome.

[ Casually she starts to get to work, tinkering around, with a multitool from her belt. ]

You always pull shit like that off?

It might have been.

[It totally was. He's very serious about his adventures.]

Sometimes its a little more--ow--a little more planned than that. Other times, you find yourself alone facing off against a superior force, and the only way out is to light something on fire and hope for the best.

[Something like a cube of energon.]

You ever been in a fight?

Yeah I kinda know what you mean actually. Though with my luck the thing on fire would be me.

[ She just continues her work, yanking something free. ]

Me? Oh way more than I'd like. I am not an enjoyer of fights, let me tell you that right now.

Remind me not to let you near flammable substances if we're ever in a tight spot--unless its important that something explodes.

[He winces, trying to hold still but rocking a little nonetheless.]

Sorry...

[Why does this have to jam from time to time? It's always inconvenient.]

So not a warrior like Saber, then? Just someone who manages to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Yeah, I'll try to remind you-

Ah hold on hun, we're almost done.

[ She takes a very different tone when she works, like she's trying to talk to a car that won't start. Engineer thing, really. ]

More like gullible dipshit who's easily coerced into unfortunate things, but yeah, close enough. I get by though.

[He peers closer at her work, catching the different tone and wondering if she's talking to him or to his grappling hook.]

Ohh I'll have to remember that if I ever need someone to do something unpleasant for me.

You gained a lot of skills just getting by.
