[Video | At the Office]

[Rung had just been working on cleaning up his office and getting things back in order when he'd accidentally created something. A ball of light to be exact.

He'd been having trouble seeing and then suddenly there was light and the little ball that was no bigger than his fist was floating around his head. The therapist had thought that maybe he'd finally snapped or something but he came to realize pretty quickly that the thing was, in fact real.

And under his command.]

Could anyone possible explain to me why I can suddenly make light..balls?

[As he asks it, there's one hovering around his hand as Rung peers at it, cupping it in his palm slightly even as it just kind of floats there.]

So I've heard and experienced.

[Rung's glad he wasn't.]

...Things..do seem a bit on edge at times don't they? It makes it very hard to actually build a society here. Though, honestly, most don't seem all that interested in doing so.

Can you really blame 'em? A lot of them are either coming straight from an Autobot-Decepticon conflict or they're being unwillingly thrust into it here.

And really, most of us ain't cut out for building a society from scratch.

No, I can't. I understand why they act as they do.

[It was just sad.]

That doesn't mean we can't try though. What else can we do?

Yeah, I know. Gotta do something about it. Beyond, y'know, the usual.

[Because petty murder has worked out so well for them so far.]

Hoping things work out f'r the best, regardless of how this whole... 'building a functioning society from scratch' thing goes.

Hopefully something can be figured out.

[Because he doesn't want anyone else to die.]

...I hope you're right. I really do.

Claws crossed.

The real trick is figuring out how t'keep the warriors busy when we aren't being attacked by monsters... that doesn't end up with the participants in jail.

Yes that is the challenge, isn't it? There have to be some alternatives..we just have to catch their interest.

That's the difficult part, considering their interest is mostly fighting. Unless we wanna set up gladiatorial matches for them to let off steam in...

[He's pretty sure that's frowned upon by most people.]

...Doesn't Megatronus have something like that in his quadrant?

Think he has an arena. I don't know that anyone uses it beyond Megatronus's Glyphed, though.

It's..something we could approach him about. Ask him if he'd be willing to extend the use of it to those willing to following his rules and whatnot in terms of the actual fighting.

Truth. It'd at least be worth a shot. [Even with how unpleasant Megatronus has seemed on the network.] And maybe it'd keep at least a few folks from getting too antsy.

Indeed.

[Rung pauses a moment, thinking.]

I might see if I can get in touch with him.

Probably a good idea. Just be careful, he strikes me as the snippy type.

[Or the violent type, anyway.]

I will, thank you for the warning.

[Have another smile, Barricade.]

[He grins.]

I'd be remiss if I didn't say somethin'.

By the by, I oughta set up an appointment with you. 'My head could use some shrinking' as I've heard it said.

Well, anytime you'd like to come by, I can schedule you in.

I will. Appreciate it, darlin'.

[No stop that you're going to keep flustering him.]

Ah--it..Good. I'm glad.

[That's the idea, mwahahahahah.]

Y'know, Doc, you're really easy to fluster.

[It almost takes the fun out of it. Almost.]

I--what? No I'm not!

[Yes, he is. And he knows it.]

[Barricade chuckles quietly.]

The adorable look on your face says different.

[He so missed having someone that reacts to what he does.]

[Okay, mister, you need to stop right now.]

Adorable?--I'm merely confused, that's all! There's nothing--why would you--...The pet names aren't helping anything..

[But it's just too much fun!]

I would 'cause it's what I do. And don't worry, the pet name is temporary.
I'll come up with a better one sooner or later.

It--you--

[Rung doesn't even know what to say to that, vents cycling some as he tries to get himself under control and stop being so flustered.]

There's no stopping you is there?
