Been pretty quiet around here, lately. Not complaining any, just saying.

[Because when it gets "too quiet", it usually means something big is going to happen. At least, in his experience.]

Anyone feel like going a few rounds? Hand-to-hand kinda thing... starting to get a little itchy.

[... Also probably a bad sign, in his experience.]

A confrontation would be my pleasure.

[Audio]

[arnhaid]

I'm not talkin' about a "confrontation". Just a couple friendly rounds.

Who's this?

[songofmypeople]

This is the DJD.

[arnhaid]

... Pass.

[headgames]

[Grunt.]

Yeah, sure.

[arnhaid]

How'd I know you'd sign on for this?

[headgames]

Guess you might not be as dumb as you look.

[audio]

[neverputincharge]

I'd be up fer it.

[audio]

[arnhaid]

Yeah? Who's this, then?

[audio]

[neverputincharge]

Names Bulkhead, yours?.

[deadlydoctor]

I would take quiet and boring over crazy and suicidal any day.

[arnhaid]

And there's why I'm not complaining. Like I said.

[deadlydoctor]

And you also said you were getting itchy. Perhaps you need to lose some steam in a different way.

I'd be game.

[If you're willing to overlook the faction difference . . . which is why he's on video, so there's no chance of misunderstanding. True, 'Hide's on audio, but TC recognizes the voice well enough. He's figuring it could be an interesting fight to go one-on-one with the Autobot's heavy-hitter without them ACTUALLY trying to kill each other. Even if he'd probably get his aft handed to him he's always been better in the air than on the ground.]

[Video]

[arnhaid]

... You got some kinda nerve.

[Since it's video, and it's pretty easy to see who this is.]

A Decepticon, offerin' to play nice with an Autobot. What's your angle?

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[Yep, that was the point. He couldn't be accused later of trying to trick or manipulate anyone.]

[He shrugs.]

Not getting arrested for something stupid and meaningless?

I'm sure it'd come as no surprise to say that hand-to-hand on the ground isn't exactly my forte. Even without our factions warring here, I for one seen plenty of fighting for various reasons over the past several months. As much as I prefer being in the air, that's not always an option. I'd prefer to learn better one-on-one tactics in an environment where I'm not fighting for my life . . . or trying at the time to take another's.

[He shrugs again.] I can't make you take my word, but I will say that I like having my freedom. Not going to throw it away outright attacking someone for no better reason than their faction. Not here.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I would... not be opposed to some defense practice.

[CAN YOU HANDLE A LEG IRONHIDE]

[audio]

[arnhaid]

Yeah?

Who's this?

[He feels a little awkward, asking. But... might as well get the memory issues out of the way.]

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Here, he'll just switch to video.]

Ambulon.

I could use the training, if you're willing to offer.

[Audio]

[young_upstart]

I completely agree with the quiet thing, even if I haven't been around here nearly as long as you.

If you'd be okay with it, I wouldn't mind going at it.

[Audio]

[arnhaid]

It's never good when somewhere crawlin' with Decepticons starts getting quiet.

You sure about that, kid? Don't think you're going to walk away with your paint intact.

[Audio]

[young_upstart]

Got a point there, but that doesn't mean there's any reason for us to keep things quiet too, right?

And here I was going to say I'd go easy on you.

[megaton]

How picky are you?

Because I could use a good workout.

[And right now, HE isn't picky. There's something familiar about you, though...]

[arnhaid]

... Why're you asking how picky I am?

[megaton]

Not every autobot is, say, willing to touch treads with a Decepticon.

Are you?
