[Video/Action]

[The video starts and...well, that's it. There isn't anything very fancy about it. Although there is, in fact, an Arcee face looking into the feed. Yes, hello, she uses this too.]

Don't know about anyone else, but I could take a break from, well, everything. I'll be at that Hub, heard there's a bar. Think that's exactly what I need right now. If anyone else feels the same, feel free to join me. Wouldn't mind the company...

[She looks off to the side momentarily before finally ending the video. The invitation was mostly for her team, but considering how they've been acting lately, she wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to be left alone. She'll just take about anyone else she can get.

This might just be the 'stranded on an unfamiliar Cybertron' talking, but she's getting a little tired of 'alone'.

Funny considering she's played the loner before.]

[PJ's more stubborn than most people, fortunately or unfortunately.

The power shovel approaches--yes, he's a power shovel--and transforms on arrival, looking around. He couldn't necessarily DRINK just yet, his engine hadn't been converted to Energon-fueled, yet, but he could at least provide company.]

Hey, I'm here.

You sure are.

[She doesn't look at him at first, instead focusing on the drink.]

I was starting to think you weren't going to show up.

[He's so glad you have faith in him, Arcee. PJ walks over, taking a seat next to her, leaning an arm on the 'bar'.]

I guess this...giant bug mess got to you?

[You're welcome.]

Yes and no. Didn't fight as much as I should have.

[Which makes her pretty angry with herself. All her bug killing? Done on the sidelines. She couldn't bring herself to work with someone named Megatronus, even a First Forged. ...Which, in itself is stupid because he came before the Megatronus she despises so much. She knows it, too, but still... She can't help but be uncomfortable with the idea.

She vents a sigh.]

I'm more worried about my team. I don't even know what they did during all of that.

[Power Joe taps the tip of his helm in thought as he listens--he could definitely relate to that. He'd come in at the tail end of this fight, and the first thing on his mind was that he couldn't join in and help from the very start. His team was left without him. At least until his arrival.

And from the way McCrane talked, it'd been that way for awhile.]

You have a team too? I know what it feels like to be worried about em. At least when I'm not there to help.

[Hearing Power Joe has a team instantly makes Arcee want to make a comment on how hers is...erm, better? She just can't see a team of A.I. robots being as close-knit as hers.

But this is drinking time, not "Whose team is better?" time. She listens to what he has to say and nods.]

It's hard, we've been trying to group ourselves back together, but it's taking time. I'm starting to wonder if Optimus was the glue that kept us intact...

[Power Joe doesn't know who that is, Arcee.]

[Are you in for a surprise later, then. But she doesn't bring it up, so PJ just assumes it goes under the radar. He's still trying to forget that conversation even happened. It didn't sit well with him afterward.]

Is Optimus your leader?

[He can't help but compare him immediately to Yuuta. Or Deckerd]

[There's a sudden wave of sadness in her expression, mostly in her optics. She knows Power Joe didn't mean it, so she keeps herself from lashing out.]

Was our leader.

...

Oh. I'm sorry.

[He knew that feeling...what it meant to lose Deckerd. But now wasn't the time for that. So he'd keep his mouth shut, for once.]

You have friends to help you through it, though.
