[Video] [Transmission from: Solian Sector] - Eighth Offense

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade seems to be in a slightly better mood than the last time he was on-screen. In fact, he looks rather pleased. Like a cat that finally managed to catch their owner's goldfish without being noticed.]

So. 'Bout a month ago, I was diggin' around in the Junk Pile and I found something from my world. Something big.

[He shifts, letting the video shift with him and that... that is a ship. It's got a lot of carbon scoring and bullet scars on it, but other than that, it's not in completely terrible shape. Barricade pats one of the rotating turrets on it.]

Been working on the poor thing as much as I can, and I think I've got her flight-ready finally. I was just wonderin'...

[He grins widely.]

Anyone want t'go on a test flight with me?

[Locked to Skids]

As I recall, I owe you a demonstration of a certain pair of appendages, and this seems like a perfect opportunity.

If you're up for it, that is.

[raceme]

Ah. Then it makes sense for them to look they way they do.

[You silly bot. Blurr is doing his best to keep a straight face.] Oh it's not that darling. It looks like you will be dealing with something really big that's also ^{highly sensitive} so, perhaps you'll need an extra helping hand.

[namesnotprowl]

That it does.

[He pauses, grinning.] Big and sensitive is one way y'put it, yep. But it can be a bit skittish sometimes. It could use a little... gentle handling to really make it purr. If you think you c'n manage that, I'd absolutely welcome the help~

[raceme]

I can be really de-li-ca-te, haven't you seen my hands? [Not small for his size but smaller than most other mechs here.]

Maybe I should come _{over now to get} used to it, for a proper first contact.

[namesnotprowl]

I have seen them. They seem capable of a very careful touch. [Is he even bothering to hide what he's saying anymore? YOU be the judge!]

You should. If only to get a proper feel f'r things, make sure you can really get it going.

[raceme]

Only 'seem'? I clearly must show you. [Blurr doesn't think so but it's not like he's any better.]

ThatIwilldo. You know, for safety reasons and all that. You are at Solus's right?

[namesnotprowl]

A demonstration is always in order. Just to get a good feel for your... capabilities~

I am. Out by the entrance. And I'll be waitin' for you to come by and take a look. For safety reasons.

[raceme]

Now let's hope your ship can handle it.

It won't take me much to get there.

[namesnotprowl]

Ohh, my ship can handle everything.

I figured as much. You are lightning-fast when you wanna be~

[raceme]

We will know for sure soon enough.

[Blurr winks and turns off the feed. He heads to Solus's temple, easily arriving there within a few minutes. Upon arriving he looks around for Barricade and the first thing he notices is the ship. ]

Woah.....sure no one can't say that is not big.

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade grins, leaning up against the ship.]

Oh, it's big all right. But it ain't the size that counts, it's the motion of the ocean~
Once the kinks are worked out, you'll be amazed how it moves.

[raceme]

[Blurr comes closer and looks up. It's even bigger when he's that near, Primus.]

I always have been a huge fan of moving, of any sort of movement in fact. Jokes aside, it really looks impressive.

[namesnotprowl]

You should see the carriers that house these, if y'think this is big.

[Barricade is trying very hard to not look too excited. It's taking a lot of effort to not bounce up and down on his heels.]

You wanna take a look at the cockpit?

[raceme]

Oh, I think this level of BIG is enough for me now. [Blurr's optics narrow in amusement.]

I thought _{you'd never} ask. [He's ready to follow you, Cade.]

[namesnotprowl]

Well, think I'm glad about that. [Barricade doesn't know what he'd do with a carrier that has no fighters in it, really.]

Of course I would. [He starts climbing up to the already-open cockpit, offering a hand down to Blurr. Want help?]

[raceme]

[Help is always welcome. He doesn't need it because he could always use his new flying ability but this gives him an excuse to touch the other bot.

Blurr gives Barricade's hand a squeeze.] Was this ship yours back in your world?

[namesnotprowl]

[It's kind of an automatic politeness thing for him. Even if somebody can fly this is just what he does. And the excuse to hold Blurr's hand isn't bad either. Barricade squeezes back, gently, as he helps pull him up.]

Nah. I ain't piloted since my duty on the Nemesis. Management thought I'd be more useful on the ground in Chicago, where this poor thing last saw action.

[raceme]

[Blurr is more than happy with politeness. One of the things he likes the most of spending time with Barricade is the amount of attention the other mech freely gives him. Usually it was the other way around with his not-really-very-successful-relationship.]

Should I be worried about a possible crash? Remember that I just came back. [Blurr nudges his side, smiling.]

Show me how you own this bad boy. Should I stand aside or sit somwhere?
