[Video/voice post]

[The broadcast starts out playful enough, from the inside of Blurr's cab as he is driving home through the junkyard. The view looks backward, where some distance away a second object is trying to keep up.]

Hm? Someone thinks they can outrun me in a race? [Blurr sounds amused; he hasn’t had a proper race in some time.] All you_{had to do}was ask! Who is this?

[Except the object has disappeared.]

...not a race, Blurr...

[The voice sounds like Skids's voice, but not. Whatever it is, it causes Blurr to slow down for a moment in recognition.]

Ski--

[He's cut off as something slams into the side of his cab. The camera goes wild for a moment as first Blurr is bowled over and then starts to transform, metal scraping over metal while oddly alien noises howl and screech in the background. There's a brief flash of something blue and Skids-shaped, but there's also tentacles lashing and a sudden jolt in vision as Blurr starts to leaps out of the way and is snagged.]

Skids, whatareyou--!?

[Then, the video goes to static.]

[A moment later, it returns, some distance away from where it last cut out. The Skids-creature can be seen far off, and moving further away on some other quest.]

[The camera holds on this for a moment, before it is shakily swung around and the video goes black again. The sound is still on and Blurr’s shaky voice can be heard. The last time he asked for help using the comm. link Starscream tried to take advantage and kill him. Blurr’s not so inclined to ask for help right now, besides, there’s more pressing issues that need to be taken care off first.]

I r-require everyone’s attention. Something happened to Skids. I think he is..I…I’m not sure. He looked like that a creature he described to me once, a spark eater.

He’s dangerous.

[And that’s all he’s going to say for now, talking would be easier if the world stopped spinning]

[Locked to Saber/ video]

[The video goes on, this time to reveal the face of a human male with bright blue eyes, despite that the transmission clearly claims to still originate from Blurr.]

I think.

I think I'm going to need some help.

[ooc: All of Blurr's replies will come an hour later once he's at Vector's, fully dressed. Feel free to visit him :3]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, thank you. [ The weight is mostly taken off of her arms as he takes the items from her. As she has the freedom to, she presses the organic-level button to close the door to the room. ]

In the small sac is a pair of shoes and socks. Please put them on, they'll help you immediately. [ Saber had never thought of it before, but there was a lot of potential heat lost through one's feet. ] There's also a jacket in the bag.

[ The knight has walked over and put the blankets and pillows down beside the sac of food. Looking and confirming what Blurr has in her mind, Saber feels fairly confident he'll be quite alright for the moment. Her hand waves outwards and the silver armor disappears into the air once again; this time, she's not doing it to be respectful, but because the armor takes effort and energy to keep on. At the moment, she is feeling.. remarkably tired. Although used to running around the Haven, this on top of helping others and the rather chaotic situation going has left the knight feeling somewhat drained.

Or it may be that she usually does feel drained, but doesn't show it. With her becoming somewhat emotional earlier, her facade is a bit harder to put up at the moment. The knight still does her best to hide it, of course, but her movements will be slightly slower to the keen eye. ]

Is the least I can do, _{thank you for bringing me more useful things. I AM really not used to changing species.

[He does as he's told. At first Blurr doesn't realize that each foot needs an specific shoes and has to switch them a seconds after he tries them on and his feet start to hurt.]

Ahthatfeelsmuchbetter...a jacket? Ohhhh...it's nice. [He's not much into human fashion, but he likes it. Blurr turns to face Saber once he's all dressed but the smile fades from his face when he sees the girl.]

Saber maybe you should rest. I've been keeping you busy all day.}

Yes, maybe I should. [ A nod. ] Let's get you situated, first.

[ Saber looks to the berth, and acknowledges that he would be able to climb into it. She might have a bit of difficulty, but the knight does throw up the blankets and pillows up there and attempts to arrange them nicely. ]

Sleep between the blankets. [ It'd be best to recommend he find a human-sized room, but Saber thinks he'll be more comfortable in his own room.. at least for the first night.

Turning from him, she pauses. Another trip back to the Haven's Hub doesn't sound pleasant. She does have a room in Vector's temple, but it's empty and she's never used it. It's the best option right now, however. ]

Situated...? Oh. [Blurr i s not picky when it comes to places to rest, he was used to sleep outside in his alt mode or in the first flat surface he could find. He's pleasantly surprised when he touches one of the pillows. He even let's to a brief laugh.] It's all squishy.

[He notices Saber almost leaving and then...

...he throws a pillow at her, hitting her on the back, but not too hard.]Ooops.

[ ...

A long pause. ]

Did you just hit me with a pillow, Blurr? [ The knight turns to face him, holding the pillow as she had caught it when it fell down from her shoulders along her back. ] I assume that means you know of the human custom of pillow fights and that you have just challenged me. [ The knight begins the smile, and although it's the most sweet smile that could be, something definitely feels off about it.

She begins to approach him, much like a lioness approaches her prey. ]

Who, me? Not it must have been some other Cybertronian turned human. [All things considered, he manages to pull a pretty innocent look while saying that. Blurr's very good at poker faces.]

...Oh? [He's already reaching for another pillow.] I'm not very versed in that custom, do tell me more please .

One person hits another person with a pillow, and then they participate in a pillow fight battle until someone admits defeat. [ He's already initiated, so even though he just got the "specifications" for the pillow fight, Saber is already on him.

Bopbopbop. Right now, they're just gentle bumps into his form rather than swings with the pillow. Saber can be somewhat reserved.

The side of his head, his arm, and his stomach receives the blows of three quick bops. ]

[He lets go a (of course very manly and very dignified) high-pitched squeak, trying to duck away from her.

I shall never surrender! [Blurr cried out, laughing and swatting her again, this time on her legs. It was a playful hit.]

[ Playful or not, he swatted her. And apparently, squealed. She swats him back, more force behind the pillow this time. The pillow smacks into his shoulder with a loud pooof sound of sorts. ]

Is that so?

[ Another pillow thwap to his arm as he's driven back towards the berth. The hits are still not enough to hurt, but they are becoming more forceful. How merciless Saber could be.. ]

[He did not squeal, you must have heard that wrong, lady. ]

OhhhhHHHHHhhhhh. You're gonna pay for that.

[Except, not really because Blurr is not sure how strong he is in this new form and he doesn't want to hit her too hard by accident. He holds the pillow tightly and hits her back a few times, but he's backing away from her until he's almost pressed against the berth.]

[ When Blurr is pressed against the berth, Saber holds her 'weapon' in both of her hands and looks at him over the top of the pillow. ]

I've driven you back; I think you should admit defeat. [ There's a smile hidden behind the top of the pillow; she realizes he's likely holding back or at least not giving it his all and although that could be an issue for her with her pride, she understands he's in a new body and .. quite gentle. He always did seem like that.

She's not lowering her guard, though. ]

[Blurr knew when he was in disadvantage. He never knew when to give up, though.]

Defeat_{is not in} my vocabulary. I will change my strategy if I have to...[He held up his hands, making a tickling motion with his fingers. He knows that humans react funny when someone pokes your tummy, he saw that on earth.

He can `lay dirty too, even if still gently 8)]

[ Saber looks slightly aghast. She's not even aware if she is truly ticklish; who would dare try? But she is aware of the possibility and also is disappointed that.. ]

You would stoop to such lows? [ Come now, Saber, this is a pillow fight. She's not really being scolding, though. ] If you attack me in such a manner, I won't hold back.

[ Unfortunately, Saber is much more ticklish than she knows. ]

Desperate times call for desperate measures. [ But he looks a bit unsure now. It was just playing, right? ]

Were you holding back all this time?

[Ohoho.]

! [ Saber begins to simply bop the pillow into him with both hands; since Blurr is against the berth, there's no point in swinging the pillow at him. Besides, the knight doesn't particularly want to hurt him.

Saber may be.. slightly lacking in the social department, but with his last statement and the unsure look on his face, she can tell Blurr is playing around and she's taking this too seriously. With that, Saber feels silly and her face flushes a bit awkwardly as she continues to push the pillow into him.

Bopbopbop. ]

[Ah, he's glad she got it. Blurr let go another small squeal and reaches out to try to tickle her stomach while dodging her hits. He started to laugh.]

[ Saber is so focused on using both of her hands on the pillow and bopping Blurr firmly, but not enough to hurt that she doesn't see the hand coming for her stomach-

His more masculine squeal is followed by a much louder and high pitched squeal as she drops her pillow. Going a dark red in the face, she laughs very briefly and then steps backwards quickly to get away from his tickling hand.

You've averted the crisis for now, Blurr. There's a very confused and embarrassed Saber standing in front of him, although there's a happy light in her eyes. Just..

Why had she.. screamed so? How embarrassing. ]

Oh.. I dropped my pillow. [ The knight looks down at it. ] I.. have lost. You're the victor. [ She smiles a bit sheepishly as she attempts to will her face to stop burning so.. ]

[Blurr could tell that it wasn't an angry scream, he's happy he was right about humans being ticklish.]

I think we can say we both won. [Blurr replies, voice low and playful.] You cornered me first and I used _...er...unusual tactics. UHm...are you okay? You are blushing.

[ It worries him slightly. did he make you angry? Blurr sits down, looking extenuated.] Being human is tiiiIIIIring.

[ She looks at him with a surprised look for a moment, and then shakes her head as she raises her hand to her face. It looks like she's attempting to wipe the blush away. ]

It's so strange, I never thought I would be ticklish. [ She just feels awkward, and is definitely not mad. ]

You should sleep then, Blurr. You've had quite a day.

[ The knight picks up her pillow and then puts it on the pillow. In order for her to reach far enough, she has to raise herself onto her tip toes. She wouldn't be able to climb into the berth herself if she wanted to.

The thought made her look to him, and then look at him curiously. ]

..Do you think you can get up? [ It's not that high, but you'd still have to climb somewhat.. ]

Strange is nto bad, isn't it? [Blurr thinks it makes you look cute, Saber. A lot of people gets angry when eh calls them that, so he keeps it to himself.]

I thought all humans_{were. It's an optional} feature?]

I feel fine. Just...what you humans call it?...sleepy? [He looks at the berth and smiles.] I can, don't worry. Can you reach? [He's assuming you are staying. ]

It's not bad, no, just.. not what I was expecting. [ To be ticklish was to be.. human, she supposed. ] Some people are ticklish everywhere, and some only in certain spots. And some not at all.

[ An awkward pause. She looks at him curiously. Did she hear him right? ] ..I can reach, yes, but I wouldn't be able to climb up. I was simply asking in case you needed help to get into bed. Climbing down will not be a challenge..

[ Saber hasn't really registered that he simply believes she's going to stay. After all, why would he think that?

She realizes why he asked and then goes quiet as her cheeks flush softly. So, the question is.. ..Or rather, why would he not think that? It'd be convenient and it may not be such a large issue to Cybertronians. ]

Oh, no, I am fine. I don't need to stay in your room. I wouldn't want to invade on your privacy..

Edited (Some weird wording.) 2013-03-16 23:02 (UTC)

And how you figure out those spots? [He tilts his head and looks at saber with both curiosity and wonder.]

[He thinks that because he knows it's late and she has no means of transportation. Blurr's also used to share his room with others. He likes to spend times with friends.]

You wouldn't bother me at all, and it's dark outside. You helped me all day and you went to find me clothes and food and pillows...you need to rest too, you could stay.

[A second later it comes to Blurr's mind that perhaps she is uncomfortable with the idea.] Imeantifyouwant. You can refuse, of course.

Well, you would figure them out with experimentation.. [ Saber hesitates, thinking about his offer. He's right and it is practical, and her room at Vector's is extremely foreign to her and entirely empty. Plus, she does want to watch over him in case he needs anything through his first night as a human.

She shakes her head once. ]

In my culture, sharing rooms was only done when you were very intimate with someone.. I know that now it is done between friends and can even be seen as a fun experience, but I simply haven't done it. So.. I would be honored if you would have me over for the night. [ She may as well try it, right? ]

Uhm, if you would.. [ Saber places her hands on the edge of the berth and then looks to him with a bit of red in her face. If he can just give her a boost, she would be able to scramble up. ] Just like at the dance, I suppose? [ A soft smile as she refers to the bar where he was sitting and he invited her. ]

With a trial and error technique? [This is how he understand experimentation, sorry Saber.

It's time for Blurr to blush at the mention of intimacy. He's not even sure why he's blushing, since he never had all that much intimacy with anybody. Only with Wheeljack, and that didn't end well.] Sorry I didn't know that. I would be honored if you accepted.

[He smiles softly and puts his arms on her waist, pushing her up gently.] Just like at the dance.

Yes, trial and error. [ Ignoring the heat in her cheeks, as she wasn't expecting his hands to go to her waist, she edges up and over onto the berth.

She wonders what she was expecting, though. For Blurr to kneel down and she to step on his shoulder, maybe? Either way, she feels silly about being so awkward about all of this and decides to stop being immature. ]

Here. [ Sitting on her knees, she offers Blurr her two hands to pull him up. Yes, he said he could get up, but why have him strain himself when she's right there? ]
