[Accidental Video] [Backdated to the 22nd]

[So...that date didn't go as planned, and it's just sinking in now that it was even a date at all. The fact that he'd worked hard to get up the courage to ask, let alone show up...that was enough for his A.I. to handle. But this planet...much like back home, found a way to make that a false hope. Something he'd never really get. It's a bit of a downer, really.

Enough to make him pout at the junkpile. Why the junkpile? So he could toss things around in his power shovel form if he needed to release his anger externally. This way...no one got hurt. As for right now, though, he's curled up, sitting among a bunch of odds and ends, starting into the distance.]

...

[It'd hurt less if he hadn't arrived her moments after Lua.]

Hate this place.

[ Arcee looks just as confused back, since she thought she had Power Joe figured out, but that question eventually just makes her throw her face into her hands, muffling laughter. ]

Oh, Primus. You don't even know what a frag is.

[ She's not laughing at you, Joe. She's laughing at the situation. ]

You keep surprising me.

[She was...laughing. And he didn't know if it was because of him or...the situation. Was he supposed to know what that was? A small part of him pinged worry. He couldn't help it.]

O-Of course I do! Don't be ridiculous!

[He doesn't.]

...Wait, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

No you don't. I'm good at telling when people are lying.

[ That and he just questioned it earlier. But Arcee wipes a knuckle at her optics, heated up brightly so the light appeared like streaks of tears. ]

I don't know. But I like you. You're not much like anyone I've met before.

Ngh-

[Not something he likes admitting, since apparently Arcee's an expert. Just one of those 'Dammit, Power Joe' moments sinking in.

But her reaction is...strange, and it--she likes him?]

You...like me?

[Sorry, that's all he got out of it.]

You're very-- interesting. To say the least.

[ Arcee is used to broken war veterans. The back stabbers and murderers, the jaded neutrals. Decepticons. Power Joe was not like many mechs she's ever met before, at least not since Jhiaxus left Cybertron. ]

You want to know what interfacing is?

I'll...I'll take it!

[There's a hint of a smile. Arcee, that just made his night, no matter how neutral it was.]

Uh...Sure! I mean, why not, yeah?

Cute.

[ You sweet summer childe.

Arcee smirks a little, and then launches off into a blunt but basic explanation of Cybertronian Bees and the Bees and intimacy. Since she notes cybertronians don't have sexes and are monogendered. ]
